Using your dishwasher
Before first use
oInstall the appliance as per the installation instructions contained
within this booklet.
oFill the water softener with 1 litre of tap water and then fill with
specialist dishwasher salt. After this you should set the water
softener level.
oFill the rinse aid dispenser and then set the rinse aid dosage.
Filling with dishwasher salt
IMPORTANT: You should only use salt that is specially
designed for use in a dishwasher. If any other type of
salt is used in the appliance (in particular table salt),
it will damage the water softener.
oIdeally you should fill the water softener with salt, just before
you are about to run a wash program. This will help to clear any
salt that may have overflowed from the water softener during
the salt filling process.
oOpen the door of the dishwasher and then remove the lower
basket. The basket should be empty when you remove it.
oTurn the water softener cap anticlockwise and remove it.
oPour 1 litre of water into the water softener.
11

IMPORTANT: It is only necessary to do this when you fill
the container with salt for the first time.
oPour salt into the water softener, using the funnel that is
supplied with the appliance. You should add approximately 1.5
kg of salt into the water softener.
oIt is perfectly normal for a small amount of water to come out of
the water softener, whilst you are filling it with salt. This does
not mean that the water softener is filled with the correct
amount of salt.
oRefit and fully tighten the water softener cap.
oThe salt required warning light will go out
shortly after you have filled the water softener
with salt. When the salt indicator (5) lights on
the control panel, then you should follow the filling with
dishwasher salt procedure again.
oIt is recommended that you run a RAPID program, without any
dishes loaded into the dishwasher, after filling with salt to
remove any spilt or excess salt.
oIMPORTANT: You do not need to pour 1 litre of water into
the container when you subsequently fill the water
softener with salt.
12

Setting the water softener level
It is possible to regulate the amount of salt that the water softener will
release during a wash cycle. The water softener should be set to a
level that is appropriate for the hardness of your water (please refer to
the table below).

To alter the amount of salt that is released by the water softener, you
should:-
oOpen the door and switch on the appliance using the
ON/OFF button (1).
oPress and hold the program button (7) for about 5
seconds to enter the water softener setting mode. The
salt and rinse aid indicators may light in the setting
mode. You must choose a setting within 60 seconds of turning
the appliance on.
oRepeatedly press the program button (7) to select the
appropriate option according to the hardness of your water. The
relevant indicators will light to show your choice as shown in the
table above.
oWhen you have made your selection, press the ON/OFF button
(1) to exit the setting mode.
oIMPORTANT: If you are using 3 in 1 dishwasher tablets and live
in a medium or hard water area, then you should still fill the
water softener with salt. The water softener level should be set
accordingly.
13

Filling with rinse aid
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse and it helps
to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes.
These droplets will lead to spots and streaks being left on
items after the wash program has completed.
oYour dishwasher is designed to utilise liquid rinse aid.
oThe rinse aid dispenser is located inside the drop down door,
next to the detergent dispenser.
oTo access the rinse aid dispenser, you should turn the cap
anticlockwise and it will pop out of the hole. Then slowly pour in
liquid rinse aid, the rinse aid dispenser will hold approximately
110 ml of rinse aid.
oBe careful not to overfill the dispenser, as this could cause
oversudsing when a wash program is selected. Wipe away any
rinse aid excess or spillages with a damp cloth.
oReplace the cap and turn it clockwise until it locks into position.
oYou should refill the rinse aid dispenser when
the rinse aid indicator (5) lights on the control
panel.
oIMPORTANT: If you are using 3 in 1 dishwasher tablets then
you should still fill the rinse aid dispenser.
14

Setting the rinse aid level
The amount of rinse aid that the dishwasher requires also depends on
the hardness of your water. You should experiment with the rinse aid
setting, until you find a level that gives the best results.
oOn the first wash cycle, we would recommend that the rinse aid
level is set to number 4.
oIf you get water spots and poor drying performance, then you
should turn the arrow anticlockwise and increase the setting to
the next number.
oYou should continue to adjust the rinse aid level upwards until
you get no water spots.
oIf you get cloudiness or streaking on your dishes, the rinse aid
level is set too high and it is causing foaming during the wash
cycle. Turn the arrow clockwise and lower the setting to the next
number.
Filling with dishwasher detergent
oThe detergent dispenser must be refilled at the start of each
wash cycle.
oYour dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid than a
conventional dishwasher.
oIn general, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a
normal wash load. More heavily soiled items may need more
detergent.
oAlways add the detergent just before starting the wash program,
otherwise the detergent could get damp and not dissolve
properly.
15

oOpen the lid that closes over the detergent dispenser by pushing
the release button. The lid will spring open. Place the detergent
inside of the dispenser.
oThe section marked A in the diagram is for the main wash cycle
detergent. Only one detergent tablet should be placed in the
dispenser at any one time. If you are using detergent powder or
liquid, you should follow the detergent manufacturer’s
recommendations.
oThe section marked B in the diagram can have separate
detergent placed in it for any wash cycle that has a pre-wash
element to it, however this is optional. This must be a liquid or
powder detergent, not another detergent tablet.
oShut the detergent dispenser lid and press it until it locks into
place.
oAt the beginning of a wash cycle the clip will open and the
tablet/powder/liquid will enter the dishwasher.
16

Concentrated detergent
oThe use of the NORMAL program with concentrated detergents
reduces pollution and is good for your dishes.
oThis wash program is specifically suited to the dirt-dissolving
properties of the enzymes of concentrated detergent. For this
reason, the NORMAL program, in which concentrated detergent
is used, can achieve the same results achieved in the INTENSIVE
program.
Detergent tablets
oDifferent brands of detergent tablets dissolve at different speeds.
For this reason, some detergent tablets cannot dissolve and
develop their full cleaning power during short programs.
oIt is recommended that you use longer programs when using
detergent tablets to ensure the complete removal of detergent
residues.
Loading the upper basket
The upper basket is most suited to washing delicate and light
dishware, such as glasses, coffee and tea cups, saucers, plates, bowls
and shallow pans (that are not heavily soiled).
1. Cups
2. Saucers
3. Glasses
4. Large serving bowl
oYou should position the dishes and cookware in such a way that
they are not moved by the spray of water during the wash cycle.
17

oUse the diagram above as a guide to the most appropriate way
to load the upper basket.
IMPORTANT: Care should be taken when placing long stemmed
glassware, such as champagne glasses in the upper basket. If they are
not positioned correctly, then there is a risk that they may topple over
when the upper basket is pushed in or pulled out.
Adjusting the upper basket
Your dishwasher has an adjustable upper basket which you can alter to
the most suitable position for the items you are going to wash in the
upper and lower baskets.
oThe height of the upper basket can be adjusted by placing the
wheels on a different height of the rails. Long items such as
cutlery, salad servers and knives should be placed on the shelf
so they do not obstruct the rotation of the spray arms.
oIMPORTANT: The upper basket must be empty when you are
removing it from the guide supports.
Folding back the cup shelves
For easier stacking of pots and pans the cup shelf spikes can be folded
down as shown in the diagram below.
18

IMPORTANT: Care should be taken to make sure that the spray
arms can move freely when items have been loaded into the
baskets.
Loading the lower basket
The lower basket is most suited to washing larger and more heavily
soiled items, such as saucepans, saucepan lids and serving dishes. You
can also load bowls and a variety of plates into the lower basket.
oSaucepans and serving bowls must always be placed with their
bases upwards.
oDeep saucepans should be slanted, to allow water to run off.
5. Medium serving bowl
19
6. Small serving bowl

7. Dessert dishes
8. Dinner plates
9. Soup plates
10. Oval platter
Folding spikes of lower basket
oThe bottom rack has prongs that can be
folded downwards, to allow for easier
loading of larger saucepans and serving
bowls.
The cutlery basket
Cutlery should be placed inside of the cutlery basket, separately from
each other. You should take care to ensure that cutlery items do not
touch as this may result in a poor wash performance.
1. Soup spoons
2. Forks
3. Knives
4. Teaspoons
5. Dessert spoons
6. Serving spoons
7. Serving forks
8. Gravy ladles
