Using your dishwasher
Before first use
oInstall the appliance as per the installation instructions contained
within this booklet.
oAdd water to the water softener compartment and then add
approximately 2Kg specialist dishwasher salt to the dishwasher.
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 500ml of water into the water
softener.
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
2 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.
11

oRefit and fully tighten the water softener cap.
oThe salt required warning light will go out approximately 2-6 hours
after you have filled the water softener with salt. When the salt
indicator neon lights on the control panel, then you should follow
the filling with dishwasher salt procedure again.
oIMPORTANT: You do not need to pour 500ml of water into
the container when you subsequently fill the water softener
with salt.
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).
WATER HARDNESS
° dH ° fH ° Clarke Mmol/L
Selector Salt
consumption
(gram/cycle)
Usage
(cycles/1

0-10 0-17 0-12.5 0-1.7 / 0 /

25-50 44-89 31.3-62.5 4.4-8.9 Mid 40 40
>50 >89 >62.5 >8.9 + 60 25
To alter the amount of salt that is released by the water softener, you
should:-
oRemove the lower basket and unscrew the cap from the water
softener.
oLocate the ring with an arrow on it that is
located on the water softener. (See figure
opposite).
oWhen you first receive your appliance, the
arrow will be pointing to the minus symbol.
Using the water hardness chart, you should
turn the arrow to the setting that is
appropriate for your water hardness.
oThe “middle” selector position is halfway between the minus and
plus symbols.
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 arrow should be
turned to the minus setting.
12

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 (1). Then slowly pour in
liquid rinse aid (2), the rinse aid dispenser will hold approximately
110 ml of rinse aid.
oYou should continue to fill with rinse aid, until the level indicator
turns completely black.
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 (3).
oYou should refill the rinse aid dispenser when the rinse aid indicator
neon lights on the control panel.
oIMPORTANT: If you are using 3 in 1 dishwasher tablets then you
should still fill the rinse aid dispenser.
13

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
The detergent dispenser must be refilled at the start of each wash
cycle (apart from the Rinse wash program).
oOpen the lid that closes over the detergent dispenser and place
the detergent inside of the dispenser.
14

oThe section marked 1 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 2 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 position the clip on the
outer edge, so that it holds the lid shut.
oAt the beginning of a wash cycle the clip will open and the
tablet/powder/liquid will enter the dishwasher.
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.
15

Loading the upper basket
The upper basket is most suited to washing delicate and light
dishware, such as glasses, coffee & tea cups, saucers, plates, bowls
and shallow pans (that are not heavily soiled).
A. Cups
B. Glasses
C. Saucers
D. Small serving bowl
E. Medium serving bowl
F. Large serving bowl
G. Serving spoon
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.
oUse the diagram opposite as a
guide to the most appropriate
way to load the upper basket.
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.
oNOTE: For easier stacking of pots and pans the cup shelf spikes
can be folded down.
16

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.
17

bowls.
H. Dinner plates
I. Side plates
J. Serving plate
K. Dessert dishes
oSaucepans and serving bowls
must always be placed with their
bases upwards.
oDeep saucepans should be
slanted, to allow water to run
off.
F
oThe bottom rack has
prongs that can be folded
downwards, to allow for
easier loading of larger
saucepa

18
The cutlery basket
Cutlery should be placed inside of the cutlery basket. The
cutlery basket should then be placed in the appropriate
position in the lower basket.
1. Teaspoons
2. Dessert spoons
3. Soup spoons
4. Forks
5. Knives
6. Serving fork
8. Gravy ladle
oFor the best washing performance, cutlery
should be placed through the slots in the
top of the cutlery basket.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow items of cutlery to fall through the bottom
of the cutlery basket, as this may cause damage to the spray arm
and/or the cutlery. If the bottom of the basket begins to deteriorate
and allows items to fall through, you should replace the cutlery basket.
Loading dishes and cutlery
Household cloths, sponges or any other object that
may absorb water SHOULD NOT be washed in a
dishwasher.
oRemove leftovers and soften the remnants of burnt food in pans,
prior to loading dishes in the appliance.
oOnce the dishwasher has been loaded, check that the spray arms
can move freely. If the spray arm comes into contact with any item,
then you should rearrange the wash load.
oCups, glasses, pans etc should all be loaded with their bases
upwards, so that water does not collect inside of them.
oCutlery and dishes should not cover each other; otherwise you may
get poor wash results.
oDo not allow glasses to touch inside the dishwasher, otherwise
damage may occur.

The following items are NOT suitable for washing inside
a dishwasher:-
oCutlery with a handle of mother-of-pearl, wood, horn or china.
oPlastic items that are not resistant to heat.
oCutlery that consists of glued parts that are not resistant to heat.
oCutlery items or crockery that are bonded.
oCopper or pewter items.
oLead crystal glass.
oWooden platters.
oSynthetic fibre items.
The following items are not always suitable for washing
inside a dishwasher:-
oStoneware should only be washed if the manufacturer of the item
has marked it as dishwasher safe.
oPlastic items (such as lunchboxes) should only be washed if the
manufacturer has marked it as dishwasher safe.
oGlazed crockery may fade with repeated washing inside of a
dishwasher.
oItems made of silverware or aluminium can discolour when washed
inside a dishwasher.
oAny food residue should be removed from silver items immediately,
as this can also result in discolouration.
oCertain types of glass may become dull or cloudy after a large
number of washes.
