1. Please ensure the dishwasher is installed by a
qualified technician. Refer to the tools required.
Location
When selecting a position for your freestanding
dishwasher you should make sure the installation
surface is flat and firm, and the room is well
ventilated. Avoid locating your dishwasher near a
heat source, eg. cooker, boiler or radiator. Extreme
cold ambient temperatures may also cause the
appliance not to perform properly. This dishwasher
is not designed for use in a garage or outdoors.
Do not cover the dishwasher. When installing,
ensure that free space is left at the sides.
2. Ensure there is sufficient clearance on each side
of the unit to allow slight sideways movement
for servicing when required. Good levelling is
essential for correct closure and sealing of the
door. When the unit is correctly levelled, the
door should not catch the inner liner on either
side of the cabinet.
The dimensions of the dishwasher are 550(W) x
500(D) X 438(H) in mm. The figure outlines the
minimum dimensions required to accommodate
the table top dishwasher. Protect plastic parts
and cables from high temperatures.

Before Operating
To Open the Door
• Pull the door handle.
• If the door is opened during operation, first open the door slightly to avoid water spillage.
• Wooden cutlery and crockery or items with wooden parts may discolour and fade. The glue used in
these items is not dishwasher-proof and wooden handles may come loose after being washed in a
dishwasher.
• Craft items, antiques, valuable vases and decorative glassware are also not suitable for dishwashers.
• Plastic items (e.g. tupperware) which are not heat resistant may melt or loose shape due to the high
temperature in the dishwasher.
• Copper, brass, tin and aluminium items may discolour or become matt.
• Clouding may occur on glasses and delicate glassware after frequent washing. Do not wash delicate
glassware or glassware containing lead crystal, in a dishwasher. Wash delicate glassware by hand
instead.
• Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing. Residues like egg white, egg
yolk and mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore, please clean the residues
from silver immediately after use.
If the door is opened during operation, all functions are automatically interrupted.
To Close the Door
• After loading the dishes, push the baskets fully into the dishwasher.
• Lift the door upwards and push until it clicks into position.
• Do not slam the dishwasher door.

All programmes with pre-wash need an additional
detergent dosage that must be placed in the pre-
wash detergent chamber. If using tablets please
check the detergent manufacturers instructions.
Please refer to the wash cycle table. This detergent
will take effect during the pre-wash phase.
2. Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent
powder to both main wash detergent chamber
and pre-wash detergent chamber, or insert the
detergent tablet to the main detergent chamber.
The marking indicates the filling level.
3. Close the lid firmly so that it clicks into place.
• Keep detergents and bleaches out of the reach of children.
• Irritating to eyes.
• Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately
with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
• If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately.
Adding Detergent or Detergent Tablet
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. To be more environmentally friendly,
please use no more than the correct amount of detergent. Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent
power or tablet. See the detergent manufacturers instructions for the correct amount to use. If using
tablets read the manufacturers recommendations on the tablet packaging in order to determine where the
table should be placed (e.g. cutlery basket, detergent compartment etc).
Please follow the steps below to fill the detergent dispenser.
1. Push the button on the lid of the detergent
dispenser in the direction of the arrow until the
flap springs open.

Adding Rinse Aid
Rinse aid helps to ensure water does not cling and leave marks on crockery during the drying phase and
helps crockery dry faster after it has been washed. Only pour rinse aid that is for domestic dishwashers into
the reservoir. This model is designed to use liquid rinse aids only.
Please follow the steps below to pour the rinse aid into the storage reservoir, and the amount will dispense
automatically.
1. Turn the cap and open as indicated.
2. When the cap open marking is aligned, you
may lift the cap up.
3. Pour the rinse aid in until the level indicator
turns completely black in colour and close the
cap.
4. Be careful not to overfill the reservoir. Wipe up
any spills.
Adjusting the Rinse Aid Reservoir
The rinse aid reservoir has six settings. Both the recommended
setting and the factory setting is “4”. If the dishes are not drying
properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number
until your dishes are spot-free.
• If the water hardness in your area is soft, you may not need rinse aid as it may cause white film to
develop on your dishes.
• If you decide to use a detergent tablet, you do not need to add rinse aid into the rinse aid reservoir.
• Rinse aid refill warning indicator will show on the LED display window when the reservoir is running out
of rinse aid and requires refilling.
• Alternatively, you can judge the amount of rinse aid by checking the rinse aid indicator next to the
reservoirs cap when the indicator is black, it means it is full. When it is clear, it means it is almost empty.
If there is some rinse aid residue left in the washing compartment
or your dishes, turn the rinse aid dispenser dial to 1.

18
Adding Salt
If the water in your area is hard, deposits will form on your dishes and
utensils. This appliance contains a salt reservoir for you to reduce the
hardness of the water.
Please follow the steps below to pour the salt into the salt reservoir and
it must be set to correspond to the water hardness level in your area.
1. Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.
2. Fill the reservoir with approximately 500ml of water (first use only).
3. Place the funnel provided over the salt reservoir.
4. Pour in approximately 1.2kg of dishwasher salt depending on the
brand used.
5. Clean any excess salt from around the reservoir opening and then
screw the cap on again firmly.
6. Run the “eco” wash programme immediately (without any crockery in
the dishwasher) to remove any traces of salt from the compartment.
• The salt refill warning indicator will illuminate when the reservoir is running out of salt and requires refilling.
• The salt refill warning indicator will cease to illuminate within a few days, depending on how quickly the salt
dissolves.
• If you decide to use a detergent tablet, you may not need to add salt, this depends upon the water hardness
in your area and the type of tablet being used. Check with your water supplier and the detergent tablet
manufacturer’s instructions.

Loading the Dishwasher
Before Loading the Dishwasher
In general, please observe the following notes before loading your cutlery and crockery into the basket.
• Remove lipstick stains and any food residues from crockery and dishes. Rinse if necessary.
• Dishes and cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
• Load your cutlery and crockery so that water can access all surfaces.
• Ensure all items are securely positioned.
• Hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. must be placed upside down in the basket.
• Wide based items should be placed at an angle so that water can run off them freely.
• The spray arms must not be blocked by items which are too tall or hang through the baskets. If in
doubt, test for free movement by manually rotating the spray arms.
• Ensure that small items cannot fall through the holders in the baskets.
• For safety reasons, do not operate the dishwasher without the dishwasher basket in place.
• Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or paint in the dishwasher. These items can
damage the dishwasher. Ash does not dissolve and will be distributed in the dishwasher.

20
Dishwasher Basket
Please use the dishwasher basket for small and lightweight
items such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls, etc.
Long items such as soup ladles, mixing spoons and long
knives should be placed lying down across the front of the
upper basket.
Hinged Cup Rack
To make room for taller items in the dishwasher basket, raise
the cup rack upwards. You can then lean the tall glasses
against it. You can also remove it when it is not required for
use.
Raise upwards
Hinged Spikes
The spikes are used for holding plates and a platter. They can be lowered to make more room for large
items. Please refer below for the steps to open up the spikes.
