1. Please ensure the dishwasher is installed
by a qualified technician. Refer to the tools
required (not included).
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.

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.

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.

• 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.
* All images are for reference only; please refer to your individual unit for actual item.
If you decide to use a detergent tablet, you may not need to add
rinse aid into the rinse aid reservoir.

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. 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 “Rinse” programme P8 immediately (without any
crockery in the dishwasher) to remove any traces of salt from
the compartment.
