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.
Do not drape the dishwasher with any
covering. 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 adjustable feet
may be loosened or tightened in order to
obtain the optimum levelling of the unit.
If required, the worktop of the dishwasher
can be removed. The height without
the worktop is 820 mm, the minimum
dimensions required to accommodate the
dishwasher within fitted kitchen furniture
units.
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.

installation
Failure to attach the condensation strip
could result in damage to the underside
of your worktop!
4. The condensation strip must be fitted
to the underside of the worktop above
your dishwasher to help protect it against
and reduce potential liability moisture.
Its purpose is to protect your worktop’s
underside from steam rising from the
dishwasher.
Remove the backing paper from the
condensation strip.
3. Do not connect the unit to the mains socket
before installation. Ensure you are not
installing the unit right in front of the mains
socket. This is to avoid potential damage to
the back of the unit.
6. The worktop can be removed by removing
the fixing screws located at the rear of the
dishwasher. After removing the screws, lift
and push the worktop forward to release
the lugs from the front section of the
dishwasher. The polystyrene block and the
lugs should be saved for future use.

8. Make sure your plumbing is suitable for
use with the dishwasher. If in doubt contact
a qualified plumber. This unit MUST BE
connected to COLD WATER MAINS
using the new water supply hose. OLD
HOSE SETS MUST NOT BE RE-USED.
The water pressure from the water mains
needs to be at a minimum of 0.04 MPa and
a maximum of 1.00MPa.
• Connect one end of the water supply
hose to your dishwasher, and then
connect the other end of the hose to
your water mains. Please ensure the
black rubber seal is in place.
• After connecting the hose, turn on your
water mains and check for leaks.
• Connect the dishwasher to the mains
socket.
• Do not bend your drain hose.
7. Position the dishwasher next to a water
tap and a drain. Ensure the water inlet and
drain hoses are not kinked or squashed.
The unit must not stand on the mains
cable.

before operating
to open the door
• Pull the door handle.
• 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.
items not suitable for use in the dishwasher
When purchasing new crockery and cutlery, please make sure they are dishwasher-proof. Some
items are not suitable for dishwashers.
• 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.

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.

• 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.
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.
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.

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 “rapid” wash programme immediately (without any
crockery in the dishwasher) to remove any traces of salt from the
compartment.
• The salt warning light will illuminate when the reservoir is
running out of salt and requires re-filling.
• After filling, the salt warning light will cease to illuminate within a
few days depending on how quickly the salt dissolves.
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. Fill the reservoir with approximately 500ml of water (first use
only).
3. Place the funnel provided over the salt reservoir.

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.
* All images are for reference only; please refer to your individual unit for actual item.

lower basket
We recommend that large items and the most difficult to clean items
are placed in the lower basket, such as plates, serving platters,
saucepans, serving bowls, pots, pans, lids etc. We recommend
placing serving dishes and lids at the side of the basket to avoid
blocking the rotation of the spray arms.
hinged cup rack
To make room for taller items in the upper 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.
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 lower the spikes.
To prevent water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower basket,
we recommend that you empty the lower basket first and then the upper basket.
