installation
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.
Do not drape the dishwasher with any
covering. When installing, ensure that free
space is left at the sides.
2. Ensure there is clearance 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.
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.

4. The condensation strip must be fitted
to the underside of the worktop above
your dishwasher to protect it against any
moisture. Its purpose is to protect your
worktop’s underside from steam rising from
the dishwasher.
• Ensure the surface is clean prior to
sticking the condensation strip to the
underside of the worktop.
• Remove the backing paper from the
condensation strip.
3. 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.
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.
• Stick the condensation strip to the
underside of the worktop.
5. The worktop can be removed by removing
the fixing screws located at the front of the
dishwasher. After removing the screws,
push the cover forward, then lift it away
from the dishwasher.
Failure to attach the condensation
strip could result in damage to the
underside of your worktop!
Stick the Condensation Strip
under the worktop, where you
want to install the dishwasher.

installation
7. 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 inlet 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 safety 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.
6. 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.
You may use a Y-adaptor (not included)
for an additional water feed for another
appliance, for example a washing
machine. This is only applicable for
cold water mains. A Y-adaptor is
available from most DIY stores.

• You may use the U-shaped drain hose
holder to secure your drain hose and to
avoid bending it.
• Secure the water drain hose to the
waste pipe to avoid it coming off during
the washing process.
The waste pipe must only be connected
to the foul drains and not the surface
water drainage system. The water drain
hose should be placed between 40 cm
and 100 cm from the floor level and
must not be extended, otherwise the
unit may not be able to expel the waste
water properly.

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.

• 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, 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. The approximate volume of
the rinse aid reservoir is 110ml.

Rinse aid warning light will illuminate when the reservoir

rinse aid warning light
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.
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.

16
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 “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.
The salt warning light will cease to illuminate within a few
days depending on how quickly the salt dissolves.

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.

We recommend that large 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.
