Use of detergent
Only use detergents specifically designed
for use in dishwashers.
To fill the dishwasher with powder detergent
proceed as follows:
1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D).
2. Add the detergent according to the
recommendations in the programme chart. As
all detergents are not the same, you should also
consult the instructions on the packet specially
for tablets.
To help correctly dose the right amount of
detergent, inside the container there are two
reference marks:
- MIN =15g
- MAX = 30g
3. Always close the lid.
4. If the programme has a prewash add the
required detergent over the lid of the dispenser.
To fill the dishwasher with detergent in tablets
proceed as follows:
1. For all programmes add 1 tablet inside the
detergent dispenser.
2. Always close the dispenser lid.
3. For all programmes with prewash; add a portion
of a further tablet on the lid of the detergent
dispenser.
Insufficient quantities of detergent will produce
poor washing results, whereas an excessive
amounts of detergent will not improve washing
results and is also wasteful. Using no more than
the correct amount also contributes to reducing
pollution.
Check that the detergent receptacle is
empty after completion of the wash cycle.

Service and spare parts
This product should be serviced by an
authorised Service engineer, and only
genuine spare parts should be used.

PSNO2GB

Water supply connections
This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max.
60°C) or cold water.
Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply.
A hot water supply is not always efficient with very
soiled crockery as it shortens the washing
programmes a lot.
The water pressure must be within the limits given
in the technical specifications.
Your local Water Authority will advise you on the
average mains pressure in your area.
The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which
can be turned either to the left or the right to suit
the installation.
The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water
leaks.
Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could
prevent or slow down the water supply.
lf the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes
which have not been used for a long time, you
should run the water for a few minutes before
connecting the inlet hose. This will prevent
deposits of sand or rust clogging the inlet hose
filter.
Be sure to incorporate the filter (A) supplied with
the machine onto the joint.
For making the connection itself, the coupling nut
fitted to the machine’s supply hose is designed to
screw onto either a 3/4 inch gas thread spout, or to
a purpose made quick-coupling tap such as the
Press-block.
To make this easier, the hose itself may be turned
to the left or the right.

Before use
Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
1. ensure that the electrical and water connections
comply with the installation instructions:
2. remove all packaging from inside the appliance
3. fill the rinse aid dispenser
Rinse aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last
rinse, ensuring through rinsing, spot and streak
free drying. The dispenser, which is positioned
inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse aid,
which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing
programmes, depending upon the dosage setting.
Filling with rinse aid:
1. Open the container by turning the lid (A)
anticlockwise.
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is
completely full. The indicator (B) will be
completely dark.
3. Top up the rinse aid when the indicator (B)
| becomes clear.
Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.
Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid
department. Clean up any rinse aid spilt during
filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess
foaming during the next wash.
Adjusting the dose
According to the finish and drying results obtained,
adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6
position selector (C) (position 1 minimum dosage,
position 6 maximum dosage).
Start from position 3.
Gradually increase the dose if there are drops of
water or lime spots on the dishes after washing.
Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the
dishes.
PFRO4GB

Using your appliance
Loading your appliance
Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any
scraps of food, to avoid clogging the filters and
consequently reducing the performance.
Do not load very small items which can
fall through the baskets.
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the
dishes.
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take saucepans,
lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.
Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged
around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the
upper spray arm can turn freely.
The cutlery basket
Long bladed knives stored in an upright
position are a potential hazard.
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such
as carvings knives must be positioned
horizontally in the upper basket.
Take care when loading or unloading
sharp items such as knives.
Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery
basket with the handles facing downwards. If the
handles protrude from the bottom of the basket,
obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery
with the handles facing upwards.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from
sticking together.
Silver cutlery tends to go black if mixed with steel
cutlery. Place it in the cutlery basket separate from
the others.
Arrange the spoons, dessert spoons, knives and
other small items of cutlery in the racks on both
sides of the cutlery basket.

Hints and tips
To save energy
Place dishes in the machine immediately after
every meal and wait until the dishwasher is full
before washing.
lf necessary run the Rinse and Hold programme
(see Programme Chart on the following pages),
so that any food scraps do not become caked on
the dishes while you are waiting to run the
complete wash programme.
Do not prewash dishes under running water.
Select an economic programme when the dishes
are not very soiled, following the instructions
given in the "Washing programmes" chart.
For best washing results:
Before loading remove all scraps of food and
soak very heavily soiled pots and pans.
Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc.
upside-down.
Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so
that the water drains off easily.
Avoid contact between the dishes as far as
possible.
You will improve drying results by leaving the
dishwasher door ajar for at least 15-30 minutes
as soon as the programme finishes.
Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes;
in this way they will be cooler and the drying will
be improved.
Empty the lower basket first and then the upper
one; this will avoid water dripping from the upper
basket onto the dishes in the lower one.
Items not suitable for dishwashers:
The following items should not be washed in
the dishwasher (unless they are sold as
dishwasher proof):
- Cutlery with wooden or horn handles or
glued parts
- bronze cutlery
- saucepans with wooden handles
- aluminium ware
- crystal ware
- leaded glass
- plastic items
- antique or fine decorated china
Certain types of decoration can discolour when
washed in a dishwasher.
Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not
guaranteed dishwasher proof should be washed
by hand.
Certain types of glass can also become opaque
after being washed several times in a
dishwasher.
A chemical reaction can occur between silver
cutlery and stainless steel cutlery. As a
precaution, do not wash together.
lron and cast iron objects can rust and stain
other items.
Aluminium tends to go black, copper, pewter
and brass tend to stain.
If in doubt check with manufacturer of the
item.
When buying new dishes, ensure that they
are dishwasher proof.

Maintenance and cleaning
Internal cleaning
Ensure that the seals around the door, the
detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned
regularly with a damp cloth.
We recommend you carry out a maintenance wash
every three months, by running a 65°C programme
without dishes using detergent.
Cleaning the central filters
(after each wash)
Inspect the central filters (B) and (C) and remove
any scraps of food with a brush, under running
water.
Filters (B) and (C) are both removed by lifting up
the outer one (B) (pulling the central funnel
upwards); the smaller filter (C) can be removed by
pressing the two tongues (D).
Once cleaned, refit the filters by pressing them
down until they click into place.
Cleaning the large filter
(Once a month)
Clean the large filter (A) on both sides under
running water, using a brush.
To take it out, remove the spray arm by pressing
the two tongues (E), turn the ring (F) anticlockwise
and then slide the whole part out. Refit the filter
following the above instructions in reverse order.
The dishwasher must not be used without
filters.
Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the
filters will produce poor washing results.
Cleaning the filters is vital to ensure
correct operation of the machine.
