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 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 to not 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.
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 contains
installation information which will
assist 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
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.
Ensure the surface is clean prior to
sticking the condensation strip to the
underside of the worktop.
Leave some space
Stick the Condensation Strip
under the worktop, where you
want to install the dishwasher.
5. Stick the condensation strip to the
underside of the worktop.

17. 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.

16. Cut out a 600 mm wide slot from the plinth
so the unit door can fully open downwards.
The depth of the cut out should be
sufficient to allow the door to open fully and
will depend on the thickness of the panel
fitted to the door.
• Do not bend or kink your drain hose.
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 to
the cold water mains. A Y-adaptor is
available from most DIY stores.

before operating
opening 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.

adjusting the rinse aid setting
If dishes are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the
dial to the next highest number until your dishes are spot-free.
The rinse aid reservoir has six settings. The recommended
setting is “3.”
1. Turn the cap anticlockwise and remove.
2. Using a coin or screwdriver turn the dial to adjust the setting.
3. Replace the cap and turn clockwise to close.
adding rinse aid
Rinse aid helps to ensure that washed crockery dries quickly and is free of marks. Only use rinse
aid that is made for domestic dishwashers. This model is designed to use liquid rinse aids only.
The correct amount needed will be dispensed automatically.
Please follow the steps below to fill the rinse aid reservoir.
1. Turn the cap anticlockwise until the cap
open marking is aligned and lift the cap out.
2. Pour in the rinse aid until the level
indicator turns completely black in colour.
Be careful not to overfill the reservoir.
Wipe up any spills.
3. Replace the cap and turn clockwise to close.
• The rinse aid warning light will illuminate when the reservoir need refilling.
• Alternatively, you can check the rinse aid indicator window next to the reservoir’s cap.
When it is black, it is full, when it is clear, it means it is almost empty.
• If the water 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 you live in a hard water area deposits may form on your dishes and utensils. Using salt softens
the water and reduces the formation of deposits.
Please follow the steps below to fill the salt reservoir. The water hardness level will also need to be set.
1. Remove the lower basket and turn the reservoir cap anticlockwise.
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.
• The salt low warning indicator on the control panel will illuminate when the reservoir is
running out of salt and requires refilling.
• Once refilled, the salt low warning indicator will cease to illuminate within a few days,
depending on how quickly the salt dissolves.
* All images are for reference only; please refer to your individual unit for actual item.
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.
