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
outdoor installation.
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
adjustable feet may be loosened or tightened
in order to obtain the optimum levelling of
the unit.
installation
All parts removed must be saved to do
the reinstallation in the future. Ensure
the dishwasher is unplugged and empty.
We recommend that 2 people handle the
dishwasher during installation.
The supplied door template also contains
installation steps which will assist
installation.

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.

• 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.
You can choose to add a detergent tablet
alone or to add detergent powder to both
the main wash detergent chamber and
the pre-wash detergent chamber for your
selected wash cycle. All programmes with
pre-wash need an additional detergent
dosage that must be placed in the pre-wash
detergent chamber (please refer to the wash
cycle table). This detergent will take effect
during the pre-wash phase.

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. 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. Close the
cap.
4. Be careful not to overfill the reservoir. Wipe
up any spills. The approximate volume of the
rinse aid reservoir is 110ml.

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.
• Rinse aid warning light will illuminate 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 right next to the reservoir’s cap. When the
indicator is black, it means it is full. When it is clear, it means it is
almost empty.

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. 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. Place a funnel (not included) over the salt reservoir. Pour in
approximately 1 kg to 2 kg of dishwasher salt.
3. Fill the reservoir with water until it overflows (first use only).
4. Clean any excess salt from around the reservoir opening and then
screw the cap on again firmly.
5. Run the “Prewash” programme P4 immediately (without any
crockery in the dishwasher) to remove any traces of salt from the
compartment.

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 you decide to use a detergent tablet, you may not
need to add rinse aid into the rinse aid reservoir.
• The salt low warning indicator on the control panel will
illuminate when the reservoir is running out of salt and
requires refilling.
• The salt low warning indicator will cease to illuminate within
a few days, depending on how quickly the salt dissolves.

Adjusting Salt Consumption
Salt consumption must be adjusted to correspond to the water hardness level in your area. If you don’t
know how hard the water in your home is, please ask the company that supplies water in your area.
It is recommended that adjustments should be made in accordance with the following chart.

Loading the Dishwasher
Before Loading the Dishwasher
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 lay 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.
Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or paint in the dishwasher. Ash
does not dissolve and can distribute in the dishwasher. Wax, sand, lubricating grease and paint can
cause damage to the dishwasher.
