@)
.Installation
Appliance must be levelled (side to side and
front to back -spirit level) by using the
adjustable feet.
Please read the installation
directions.
UK, Installation instructions
Ignore drainage and water connection
on assembly instructions and use the
instructions given below.
For building in, it is recommended that
the services to the dishwasherare
installed in
the cupboard next to the
machine. This
gives easy access should
the machine ever need to be removed.
In any event,
it is strongly recommended
that the water supply is turned off after
each usage.
Drainage connection
Make a hooked end in the drainagehose
using
the plastic fitting provided.Theend
of this should drop into a standpipe the
top height of which is between 30cms
and 100cms above the floor standing
level
of the dishwasher. The diameter of
the standpipeshouldbe at least30mm so
that there is an air gap around the end
of the diswasher drain hose.
Water connection
The water inlet hose from the
machine
terminates in a 3/4" female
connector.
Tile water supply should
therefore,
terminate in a similar male
connector and should have a stop-cock
close by in the pipe.
Water pressure should be between 0.3
and
10 bar and at least 10 litres of
water should flow per minute.
Cold water connection only.
The machine is fitted in the factory
with a PVC feed pipe which can only
be connected to the cold water supply.
We strongly recommend cold water
connection, as this will allow the heat
exchanger
to work more efficiently for
both washing and drying.

Electrical connection
Connect the appliance only to a 230-
240 V AC socket. The plug
must be
fused with a
13 A fuse.
How
your dishwasher should be
installed see
page 27 paragraph 7.
Water softening
In order to work correctly,
the dishwasher needs soft water.
So a water softener is built-in.
When correctly set, it softens the water.
Setting the water softener
Your local water board will tell you what
the water hardness in your area is.
The water hardness dial should then be
set as shown in Fig. G
Important Note!
Please make absolutely sure that the lid (flap)
on the salt ccmtainer is closed properly. Soap
suds must not get into the salt container.
Never put detergent into the salt container, as
the water softener would be damaged and a
guarantee claim could not be made against
this'damage.
@)
Only use granular salt suitable
for dishwashers
Fig.8
Before using the machine for the first
time
pour approximately 1 litre of water
into the salt container. This helps
to
dissolve the salt more quickly. Only use
granular salt suitable dishwashers.
To fill container, remove lower basket.
Unscrew cap
of salt container
(Fig.
0/14), and fill with granular salt.
Filling can be made easier by using a
pouring cup.
Then screw cap tightly back into place.
Dishwasher granular salt is should be used.
When using salt tablets,
do not fill the
container to the top. I
Table-salt, road-salt or any other salt should
not be used. These salts usually contain
insoluble elements, which
in time can damage
the softener. (Granular salt can be obtained
in
most large supermarkets).
The reserve container holds about
1,5 kg
of granular salt.
After the first wash cycle,
the salt
container will be full
of water. So
adding salt should always.be done
immediately before starting fhe
dishwasher. This way, any excess
salt solution will be immediately
thinned and washed away.
Salt refill indicator
Fig. 0/8
In a hard water area salt must be
added as soon as the indicator shows.
19

@)
Filling the rinse-aid container
A rinse-aid is necessary so that
no water-spots remain on dishware
after washing.
Use only rinse-aid intended
for
household dishwashers.
Turn lid
of the rinse-aid reservoir
(Fig.
0/24) to open.
Pour in rinse aid until the level indicator
(Figure
8/25) has turned from clear to
completely dark. The
clear/dark surface
indicates the level of rinse-aid in the
dispenser.
Remember to screw lid tightly on
afterwards.
With each washing, the correct amount
of rinse-aid will be dispensed.
Low rinse-aid indicator
Fig. 8/25
When the low rinse-aid indicator appears
bright, the rinse-aid
must be replenished.
If it is dark, there is enough rinse-aid on
hand.
20
Dispenser regulator
Fig. 0126
The dispenser regulator may be set
between 1 and
6. Upon delivery,
it will be set on
3.
The setting should only be changed
if deposits
or water spots remain
on the dishware.
-
If lime streaks appear,
turn the regulator back.
-
If water spots appear,
set the regulator
on a higher number.
L08-ing·dishw;ssh~r·
Fig.O,Q
-First, remove large food particles.
-
Arrange large or heavily soiled
articles in the lower rack,
and small,
light or delicate articles
in the upper rack.
-Containers, such as cups, glasses,
pots, etc. should
be placed
upside down.
-
Arrange all items with recessed
or curved sections on a slant
to drain water away.
-Place tall,
narrow recepticles
in the middle of the racks so they are
directly over the spray.
-
Long-stemmed glasses should lean
against the rack, not against dishware.
(Fig.
0)
-Place cutlery unsorted into cutlery
compartments
- Long cutlery, such as ladles,
long knives, etc. should be laid
horizontally
across the filled
cutlery compartment. (Fig. 9}
@)
Unsuitable dishware
Cutlery with wooden or bone handles
are unsuitable. So are parts joined
by adhesive, and plastic,
copper or tin items
which cannot resist hot water.
As with hand-washing, some·"on-glaze"
decorated china, aluminium,
"or silver
have a tendency to discolour
or fade.
Also, some types of glassware (crystal)
can become opaque after many washings.
Recommendation:
In
the future, buy only items
which are guaranteed suitable
for dishwashers.
What you should not put into
the dishwasher:
Dishes or cutlery soiled by tobacco ash,
candle wax (or similar), paint etc.

For dosage see back of pack.
The detergent compartment consists of
2 chambers for
15 or 25 ml detergent.
The full compartment holds 55
mi.
This two part detergent compartment
helps you to use the correct amount
of detergent.
After the detergent compartment has
been filled, ensure the lid has ,clicked"
shut.
During the main wash the detergent
will be dispensed automatically.
The detergent can be used to soak pots
and pans which are heavily soiled.

Electrical requirements
Check that the voltage stamped
on the
rating plate which you will find under the
table top when you open the door
corresponds with your house electricity
supply which must
be a. c. (alternating
current). Your machine
is already fitted with
a plug incorporating a
13 A fuse. If it does
not fit your socket the plug should be cut off
from the mains lead and
an appropriate plug
fitted. Throw away the cut off plug, do not
insert it in a 13 A socket elsewhere in the
house
as this could cause a shock hazard.
@
Warning-
this appliance must be earthed.
Important
The wires in the
mai,ns lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Green and
yellow- Earth; Blue- Neutral;
Brown- Live
If you fit your own plug the colours of the wires
in the mains lead of your machine may not
correspond with the markings identifying the ·
terminals
in your plug in which case proceed '
as follows:
The wire which
is coloured green and yellow
must be connected to the terminal
in the plug
which is marked with the letter
E, or by the
earth symbol (
c?) or coloured green, or green
and yellow.
The wire which
is coloured blue must be
connected to the terminal which
is marked
with the letter
N, or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be
connected to the terminal which
is marked
with the letter
L, or coloured red.
With alternative plugs a 15 A fuse must be
fitted either in the plug or adaptor
or in the
main fuse box.
In the event of replacing a fuse
in the plug supplied a 13A ASTA approved
fuse to
BS 1362 must be fitted.
If the plug is the moulded on type the fuse
cover must be refitted when changing the fuse.
In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug
must no be used until a replacement fuse
cover has been obtained and fitted. A new fuse
cover can be obtained from your nearest
Service Office or local Electricity Board.
The
colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is
that of the coloured marks or insert in the
base of the plug.
Replacement of the mains lead
If it is necessary to replace the mains lead for
any reason (which should be only with another
of a suitable type) proceed
as follows after
removing the plug from the socket.
Noting the positions of lockwashers and
differing type screws remove the plinth plate
and removing 4 screws. Remove the inner
insulating panel by removing the 2 screws and
slide it to the right to clear the slots. Slacken
the screw
in the rear cable clamp.
Note routeing of cable, disconnect from
terminal block noting the position of the brown
(L) and blue (N) wires and earth point and
withdraw. Complete fitting of new cable by
reversing above steps.
