Read this first!
Congratulations on your choice of dishwasher! We hope that-you well
have many years of trouble-free use from it. You can make your own
contribution towards this by reading through the whole instruction
book carefully before using the machine. This will help you to avoid
making mistakes and will also provide you with some tips on
| functions and features which will enable you to make better use of
your dishwasher.
The machine has been designed and built according to the latest research and development, to
produce the best possible results with the lowest possible consumption of water, energy and
detergent.
INTENDED FOR DOMESTIC USE ONLY
The responsibility of the manufacturer and supplier only
covers normal domestic use for the washing of household
articles. Any other use of the machine is your own
responsibility and at your own. risk.
UNPACKING YOUR MACHINE
Check the machine for damage. Any damage caused in transit
must be reported within seven days to those responsible for
carriage of the machine.
Check also that you have received the correct accessories.
All machines should be supplied with a bracket for the outlet
hose and a funnel for adding salt (the section headed "Using
the machine for the first time" describes how to do this).
If your machine is intended to be built in (supplied without
side panels and top), there should be a plastic bag containing a
hose clip and two screws, with the appropriate plastic fixing
plugs to secure the machine to the kitchen units. There should
also be an anti-condensation device to be attached beneath the
front edge of the worktop.

Installation
CONTENTS: Who should install the machine? Level the machine
Fitting into kitchen units. Connection of water inlet, water outlet
and electricity. Setting the childproof door lock.
WHO SHOULD INSTALL THE MACHINE?
Electrical and plumbing work should be carried out &-
by a qualified person or persons. If you carry out any
part of the installation work yourself, you must find i Ly
out what regulations are applicable, and then comply
with them. Incorrect installation can lead to injury or
damage to property. If installation has not been
carried out correctly, you run the risk of restricting
our undertaking to meet any claims fully.
LEVEL THE MACHINE
Place the machine in its intended position and check
that it is level both front to back and side to side.
N.B. This is very important. If the dishwasher is not
level, the wrong amount of water may be taken into the
. machine. In addition the upper rack may be awkward to
pull out and the door difficult to close.
If necessary, adjust the level of the machine by
turning the threaded feet. The next step is to connect
the water outlet hose, water inlet hose and electricity
` (see below).
There is a very small risk that a dishwasher may tip
forward if a heavy weight is placed on the open door.
Never let children play on or in the machine!

FITTING INTO KITCHEN UNITS
Before positioning the machine, you can set the feet
in approximately the right position at the front by
extending them downwards slightly.
Pass the hoses and mains cable through the hole at
the very back of the kitchen unit where appropriate.
Pull them in gradually, whilst guiding the machine
carefully in. Avoid lifting and pulling the control
panel. Check that the hoses have not kinked.
CONNECTING THE OUTLET HOSE
min 4 cm

+2 m max _/
max 100 cm
min 30 cm
max 100 cm
- The hose must not be cut but may be extended to a
maximum of 4 m. If you do this, remember that the
minimum permissible internal diameter is 13 mm.
You may choose any of the following methods to discharge
the water from the machine:
1. Directly into the sink — by hanging the hooked end of the
hose over the edge of the sink. The top of the hook should
not be higher than 1,000 mm (40 in) above the floor. Please
note that if you choose this method, the sink should not be
used while the machine is operating as the water being
discharged is extremely hot.
2. Via a water-break to a fixed drain outlet. The water-break
is essential and should be positioned at least 500 mm (20 in)
above floor level to prevent water draining away from the
machine at times other than intended. The maximum
permissible height from the floor to the top of the drain hose
is 1,000 mm (40 in). The drain stand pipe should have a
minimum internal diameter of 38 mm (1.5 in). A trap.
should be provided between the standpipe and the drain to
prevent odours from escaping into the work area.
3. Into a Universal waste trap which replaces the sink
trap.

CONNECTING THE INLET HOSE
Since your machine is provided with a water-softener
filter, we recommend cold fill. (The times and
consumption values in the programme selection
guide are calculated for an inlet temperature of
15°C).
If you choose to connect your machine to hot
water instead, please note that the temperature of
the incoming water should not exceed 70°C. If it
does, a thermostatically controlled mixer should be = =
installed ahead of the inlet. SEB

CONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY
The machine is connected to 240V supply by a plug in
an earthed socket. The lead is 1.5 m in length.
N.B. Before working on the machine, it must be isolated
by pulling the plug out of the socket. For more details
about electrical connection, see "Technical data".
Whenever the machine is isolated, the water should
also be turned’ off, since the safety system requires
electricity to function fully.
When the waste water outlet, water inlet and power
supply have been connected, you can turn on the water
supply and check that all the connections are watertight.
SETTING THE CHILDPROOF DOOR LOCK
There is a red screw at the upper edge of the door.
Set this to the position shown in the picture if you
want the safety catch on the door to operate. The
handle will then have to be pushed to the right and `
up before the door will open.
Installation has now been completed.

Operating the machine.
BEFORE STARTING
If you have not installed the machine yourself exactly
as described in the instructions in the previous
section, you should first check that
- The water inlet and the waste outlet hoses are
correctly connected (see instructions)
- The power lead is connected to an earthed socket (if
you do not have a plug on your machine the power
lead must be permanently connected by a qualified
electrician). : a
- The machine is level both front to back and side to
side. If it is not level, the wrong amount of water may
‘be taken into the machine, the upper rack may not
run freely, and the door may be difficult to close
properly.

FILLING WITH SALT
+, Your machine is fitted with a water softening
Vi filter. The softening process prevents limescale
deposits forming in the machine and on your dishes.
Before using the machine you must fill the special
container at the bottom of the machine with coarse
salt available especially for dishwashers. Do not use
table salt. The container holds 1.5 kg of salt, which
is sufficient for 15-30 loads, depending on the
amount dispensed (see below).
Es Unscrew the lid of the salt container (inside the
=> machine, at the bottom to the right of centre,
marked with the symbol shown here). Use the funnel
supplied to fill the container first with ordinary water
and then with coarse salt. Remove the funnel and
wipe away any spilt salt. (Spilt salt which is not
cleaned up is corrosive and can cause spots on the
stainless steel surfaces of the machine.) Screw the lid
back on and run a rinse programme if you are not
going to wash straight away.
NEVER OPERATE THE MACHINE WITH AN EMPTY SALT CONTAINER
If you do, there is a serious risk of damaging
the water-softening function. (If the damage is
slight, the function can be partly restored by
running the short programme 4-5 times after
refilling with salt.)
A small light on the front panel indicates when
the salt needs topping up.
AMOUNT OF SALT DISPENSED
Water-softening requires varying amounts of salt
depending the hardness of the water. The amount of
salt dispensed is set using the small red selector screw
at the top right-hand corner of the machine. The
selector can be set in two positions (use a screwdriver
or similar tool): l
* Position 1 for water softer than 20 °dH.
* Position 2 for water of 20 °dH or more.
If you do not know how hard your water is, you can
start with position 1 and then move to position 2 if
limescale deposits appear in the machine. If lime
deposits do develop, they can be removed by filling
the detergent dispenser with approx. 60 grams of citric
acid and running a long programme with the machine
empty.

WHAT YOU CAN WASH
Many items come with instructions indicating
whether they are dishwasher-proof. However, the
following comments may be useful:
CHINA: In some cases the decoration may be
unprotected, on the outside of the glaze, and
colours may fade if they are washed repeatedly by
machine. Be aware of this when buying new china.
GLASS: Problems rarely occur. You should make
sure there is rinse-aid in the machine and that the
correct amount is dispensed (see below). CRYSTAL
should not be washed at temperatures exceeding
55°C.
STAINLESS STEEL: Very tolerant, but direct
contact with detergent can cause it to spot. If you
use detergent for the pre-wash, you should therefore
not place the cutlery basket directly in front of the
detergent dispenser. (Pre-wash detergent is placed in
the recess on the flap of the detergent dispenser.)
ALUMINIUM: Coloured or anodised aluminium is
bleached by dishwasher detergent. The shiny surface
loses its gloss and becomes slightly blotchy.
SILVER: You can wash silver items in the machine
but take care to ensure that the silver does not come
into contact with other metals. Do not mix silver
and stainless steel.
PLASTICS: Plastic parts should not be positioned
directly above the heating coils (on the left at the
very bottom of the machine). Avoid using the
heated drying function. Items or parts made of
certain types of plastic may distort.
WOOD: Items which consist wholly or partly of
wood (e.g. handles) should not. be washed in a
dishwasher as they may crack or dry out.
OTHER ITEMS: Cutlery with glued or cemented
handles may be affected by hot ‘water so that the
handle works loose. Bakelite pan ‘handles may crack
or work loose. Some laminated materials are also
sensitive to high temperatures. i
N.B. Do not wash sandy objects such as flower-pots. The
sand can cause problems in the machine.

HOW TO LOAD THE MACHINE
First scrape off large remnants of food. You do not
need to rinse the dishes beforehand, but remove all
hard objects (see also note on sand above).
The UPPER RACK is used for cups, glassware,
small dishes and plates, bowls, knives and other long
objects which are not suitable for placing in the
cutlery basket (excessively long objects in the cutlery
basket may obstruct the upper spray arm). Place
cups and glasses upside down, preferably at an angle
so that the water can run off. The upper rack also
contains a retractable cup shelf.
The LOWER RACK is intended for all heavier items
such as plates, large dishes and bowls, saucepans,
casserole dishes etc, but it is sufficiently close-
` meshed for you to be able to place cups, glassware
etc. if you have a large number of items of this type.
You can make room for very large objects by
completely removing the upper rack. Further details
are contained in the section headed "Useful tips".
The CUTLERY BASKET can be moved sideways,
giving you several options for placing large serving
dishes and similar items in the lower rack. If you
wish to, you can lift the cutlery basket out for filling
and emptying. Place the cutlery with the handles
pointing down, provided they are not so narrow and
pointed that they can protrude through the bottom
and prevent the lower spray arm from rotating freely.
Never place sharp knives with the tip pointing up.
Also make sure that longer objects do not obstruct
the upper spray arm. There are different height
levels in the basket to accommodate cutlery of
different lengths. Spread the cutlery out as much as
possible, so that the water reaches it properly. Make
sure in particular that spoons and forks do not nestle
together.

FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER
The detergent dispenser is on the inside of the door and |
is graduated to indicate the different amounts to be
dispensed. Do not use ordinary washing-up liquid. Use
only good quality dishwasher powder, otherwise there is
a risk of excessive foaming and machine breakdowns.
Follow the dosage instructions on the packet. Do not
forget to close the dispenser; it opens automatically
while the programme is running. Pre-wash detergent is
not generally needed but, if you have particularly heavily
soiled items to wash, you can place a small amount in
the recess on the flap of the detergent dispenser.
Follow the detergent manufacturer's dosage
recommendations.
DISHWASHER DETERGENT SHOULD BE HANDLED WITH CARE
If someone swallows dishwasher detergent,
make him or her drink several glasses of milk or
water immediately. Do not induce vomiting. Seek
medical advice.
If someone gets dishwasher detergent in their eyes,
bathe immediately in plenty of water. Seek medical
advice.
Make sure that children never come into contact with
the dishwasher detergent. Keep it in a safe place, wipe
away any spillage at once and never leave the door open
with detergent in the machine. The door lock can also
be set in the safety position; to open the door the handle
must be pushed to the right and up. The section headed
"Installation" describes how to set the childproof lock.
FILLING THE RINSE-AID DISPENSER
Rinse-aid results in cleaner items and faster drying
because the water runs off more quickly. If you use
the machine without rinse-aid, the items washed may
feel rough.
The rinse-aid dispenser is on the inside of the door to
the right of the detergent dispenser. It holds
approximately 110 ml, which is sufficient for 16-40 loads
depending on the dosage. The appropriate dosage
depends in turn on the hardness of the water. The
amount dispensed is set by turning the dial on the inside
of the filling hole. Since your machine has a water-
softener, you can select a low setting. If an excessive
amount of rinse-aid is dispensed, streaks may appear on
the items washed. If the items washed feel rough, this
may be a sign that the salt dosage is too low and you `
should use a higher setting. (See section on salt dosage.)
ome) a eee

FILLING THE RINSE-AID DISPENSER
When the "window" to the left of the filler
hole becomes colourless, the rinse-aid needs
topping up. Keep filling until the rinse-aid is visible
in the dispenser.
Carefully wipe: away any spills to avoid excessive
foaming. If excessive foaming does occur, you can
clean foam away from the machine by pouring a
tablespoonful. of cooking oil into the machine and
running a short programme without detergent.
OPERATING THE MACHINE
When. you have loaded’ the machine and filled it with
detergent and rinse-aid, you are ready to start.
} | Start by closing the door and pressing the on/off
HO switch at the far left-hand side of the panel (if it is
not already in the "0" position) to turn the machine off.
‘(Cc)’ Your machine has several programmes and
<== possible combinations to match different needs
on different occasions. They are all presented together
in the next section. But the first time you use the
machine, use the normal programme ( © ). You can
find this by turning the programme selector dial on the
right-hand side of the panel.
I | Then press the on/off switch to position "1" to
J0 turn the machine on and the program will start.
All you then have to do is wait to take out your clean
dishes. The time depends to a great extent on the
temperature of the incoming water and the washing
temperature you have selected. There is more
information about this in the next section.
IMPORTANT
With one exception, we recommend that you keep
the on/off switch on all the time; all the parts of the
machine's PermaSafe system will then function. You
can read.about this in the section headed "Safety".
The one exception is when you select your
programme. If the on/off switch is on, the machine
will start as soon as you turn the programme selector
dial, and the detergent dispenser may then open too
early. To avoid this, switch the machine off while you
select the programme.
N.B. The programme selector dial may only be
turned clockwise. You must never attempt to force
the programme selector dial anticlockwise - if you do,
it will break.

SELECTING THE APPROPRIATE PROGRAMME
A brief description of the basic programmes follows:
mri RINSE AND HOLD can be used when you
ny load the machine little by little and in
preparation for a "proper" wash programme later.
The rinse and hold programme is economical on
water and uses very little energy since no heating
takes place. Do not use detergent.
«cy. LONG is used for casserole dishes, saucepans
Q and other large or heavily soiled items.
Recommended washing temperature 65°C. Pre-
wash at around 55°C. If required, you can put a
little pre-wash detergent in the recess on the
detergent dispenser flap.
co NORMAL, as the name suggests, is the most
== general programme and is more than sufficient
for normally soiled articles. Replaces pre-wash with
an unheated rinse cycle.
Woo li 40° #8
euE
j
E ECONOMY is used for lightly soiled articles
which do not require pre-rinsing.
Recommended wash temperature 55°C. As the
table shows, it saves electricity and water, and also
results in a shorter washing time.
557 QUICK is used when you only have a small
im quantity of items to wash which are not
heavily soiled. The short main wash automatically
takes place at 55°C, whatever temperature is
selected by the selection button.
—— PLATE WARMING is not a wash
uuu programme, but an additional feature for
those who wish to serve food on hot plates. It
rinses at 65°C and ‘dries using additional heat.
$ | 4
ECO SELECT
You also have the option of selecting the temperature and drying method you want for the Long, Normal and
Economy programmes. Together they give you a very wide range of possible combinations.
HEATED DRYING produces drier dishes, but
t also consumes more energy. When this feature is
selected the final rinse takes place at 65°C and the air in
the machine. is then heated by the heating coils. The final
rinse then takes place at 55°C. You can cancel heated
drying by depressing the button. When the machine has
finished washing, open the door slightly and the dishes
will be dry after about half an hour .
J] 55° TEMPERATURE SELECTION allows you to
65° choose between 55°C (button depressed) or
65°C (button not depressed) for the main wash. If the
items to be washed are not too heavily soiled, select
55°C, and you will save both energy and time. You do
not need to depress the button if you select programmes
which automatically run at preet temperatures, i.e. the
Rinse and Hold and Quick programmes.
- Under the same conditions you may also chose
40 the 40°-button if you have lightly soiled or
sensitive items to wash like crystal glasses etc.
For your normal washing requirements we recommend you use the normal programme at 55° without the
additional heated drying feature.

Useful tips
CONTENTS: Height-adjustable upper rack. Washing particularly
large items. Some comments on economy and the environment.
The following sections describe some functions and features which will enable you to get
more benefit from your machine:
HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE UPPER RACK
You can position the upper rack at two different
levels, depending on the height of the items you wish
to place in the upper and lower racks.
To change the level, pull the upper rack out slightly
so that you can reach the plastic stops at the ends of
the guide rails in which the wheels of the upper rack
run. Fold back these plastic stops as shown in the
picture. You can now pull the upper rack out and raise
or lower it to the second pair of wheels.
WASHING PARTICULARLY LARGE ITEMS
If you need to wash particularly large pots and pans or
other very bulky items which otherwise would not fit, you
can remove the upper rack completely.
Remove the upper rack as described in the previous
section. Then close the water outlet.of the upper spray
arm (the spray arm comes out with the upper rack) by
pushing the sliding valve up (see picture). This increases
the pressure in the lower spray tube.
When you re-install the upper rack, do not forget to re-
open the sliding valve.
oes

SOME COMMENTS ON ECONOMY AND THE ENVIRONMENT
You have purchased a very energy-efficient machine,
which is economical with energy and water. It uses
only 21 litres of water for the normal and long
programmes, and even less for shorter
programmes.You can also make further energy-
savings by your choice of wash temperature.
J] 55° One way is through temperature selection. In
65° the vast majority of cases 55°C is quite sufficient
to give perfect washing results. If you reduce the
temperature from 65°C to 55°C (by pressing the
55°C button), you save approximately 0.2 kWh per
normal wash. This adds up to quite a large amount in
the long run. However, you should ensure that
heavily soiled items receive the necessary 65° wash.
Another way to economise is through drying. If
=— you cancel the heated drying function by
pressing the appropriate button, you can make
another saving of approx. 0.4 kWh per normal wash.
You simply leave the door ajar when the machine has
finished washing, and the dishes will still dry (in
around half an hour). Just remember to place cups
and glasses with curved bases at a slight angle so that
the water can run off

Care and maintenance
CONTENTS: Cleaning the outside of the machine. Cleaning the
spray arms. Cleaning the coarse filter and fine filter. Measures to
take where there is a risk of freezing.
| This section describes how best to look after your machine so that you get the greatest
possible benefit from it with the least possible worries for the longest possible time:
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE MACHINE
Wipe the machine clean with a damp cloth and a non-
abrasive liquid cleaning agent. Never rinse down the
machine.
The machine cleans itself inside every time you
wash, but there are some parts which may need special
attention now and again to ensure the best possible
washing results.
CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS
The spray arms rarely need cleaning, but if you
suspect that dirt has got into them, you should rinse
them under running water.
Remove them by undoing the round nut in the
centre.N.B. Undo the nut for the upper spray arm
CLOCKWISE, i.e. the opposite way to usual.
If you are unsure which is the upper or lower
spray arm when you come to re-fit them, look for
the downward facing nozzle which is on the upper
spray arm.
— 17 -

CLEANING THE COARSE FILTER AND FINE FILTER
It is best to check the COARSE FILTER in the
middle of the fine filter after each wash. If there is
dirt in it, turn it anticlockwise and lift it out. Empty
out the dirt and rinse clean. When replacing the
coarse filter, turn it until it snaps into position.
The FINE FILTER is self-cleaning, i.e. it rinses
itself clean during the course of the washing process.
However, the underside may sometimes need
cleaning. When the coarse filter has been removed,
it is easy to pull the fine filter out. Brush it clean
under running water. Handle with care.
MEASURES TO TAKE WHERE THERE IS A RISK OF FREEZING
If your machine is in a’place where it may be exposed
to frost or left unused for long periods, it should be
protected as follows: .
Turn off the water. Disconnect and drain the inlet
and outlet hoses. Finally empty the inlet valve by
setting a programme and running the machine for a
few seconds.

Safety
SAFETY: The PermaSafe system. Child safety. Setting of door safety
lock. Importance of securing the machine in position with screws.
Heat warning. Turning off water and electricity.
| Your dishwasher is a convenient and useful appliance. But it also contains several dangers —
e.g. hot water and powerful detergent — and should therefore be treated with respect and
caution. Our approach to safety includes a comprehensive form of protection against water
leakage:
PERMASAFE WATER SAFETY SYSTEM
The PermaSafe system contains several parts acting in
conjunction with each other:
SAFETY ZONE. All the water is within the all-
embracing safety zone, which consists of the stainless
steel cabinet, the electrogalvanised steel base plate and
the flexible PEX connection pipe.
PEX CONNECTION PIPE. This is so strong and
resistant that it can be regarded as part of the permanent
plumbing system. It retains its useful properties for at
least 20 years. N.B. The PEX pipe is supplied in one
piece with no joints, and must not be cut or joined on
installation.
LEAKAGE SENSOR. As additional protection there is
a moisture sensor at the very bottom on the baseplate.
It is a dry, compressed sponge which expands if it
becomes damp, operating a switch via a spring-loaded
arm. This closes the inlet valve and causes the drain
pump to empty the machine. All the indicator lights on
the control panel then go out. The drain pump
continues operating until the main switch is turned off.
OVERFILL PROTECTION. A level sensor inside the
machine ensures that the correct amount of water is let
in. If the level guard detects that the water level is too
high, it activates the same procedure as described above
- the inlet valve closes and the machine is drained.
SELE-CLEANING PUMP. The drain pump
automatically changes direction if it becomes blocked.

Both
directions
produce
the
same
pumping
effect,
i.e.

CHILD SAFETY
Always keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach
of children. Keep it in a safe place, wipe away any
spillage immediately and never leave the door open
with detergent in the machine. If you have small.
children in the house - even if only temporarily - set
the door lock to the childproof position (see below).
If someone swallows dishwashear detergent he
A or she should immediately drink several glasses
of milk or water. Do not induce vomiting. Seek
medical advice.
If someone gets dishwasher detergent in their eyes,
bathe immediately in plenty of water. Seek medical
advice.
There is a red screw at the upper edge of the door.
Set this to the position shown in the picture if you
want the safety catch on the door to operate. The
handle will then have to be pushed to the right and
up before the door will open. Simple for adults but
not so easy for children.
HEAT WARNING
A safety switch in the door lock stops the machine if
you open the door while a programme is in
progress. If you do interrupt a programme,
remember that the fittings and the items being
washed may be hot, particularly in a 65°C pae
programme.
If you have to open the door while a programme is
in progress, proceed as follows:
Turn off the main switch. Open the door. When you
close the door again, wait ten seconds before
pressing the main switch.
If you have an open outlet - e.g. the hose
discharging into a sink - you should also take
care when the machine is emptying the hot waste
water.
