Section 3. Operating the Appliance
3.1. Before You Operate The Appliance
3.1.1. Adding Salt
The sole use of 3-in-1 tablets is not recommended as failure to add
salt to the salt container will leave your dishwasher exposed to
limescale damage which is not covered by the manufacturers
guarantee. Protect your appliance by adding salt as follows:
Remove the lower basket and then unscrew the salt container cap (1).
Add approximately 1.5kg of specialist dishwasher salt to the container
using the funnel provided (2). N.B. It is normal for a small amount of
water to come out of the container whilst filling it with salt.
Now replace the screw cap correctly and ensure that it is tight. If not,
salt may leach into the dishwasher chamber which can be detrimental
to the stainless steel interior. This is not covered by the manufacturers
guarantee.
After adding salt you should run a program to activate the water
softener and flush away any salt that has been spilled into the
machine.
If salt is low the indicator light (6) will show on the control panel.
3.1.2. Adding Rinse Aid

9
Remove the Rinse Aid Filler Cap (1).
Add Rinse Aid until the container is full (2).
Replace the Filler Cap (3).
If rinse aid is low the indicator light (6) will show on the control panel
3.1.3. Adding Detergent
Use specialist dishwasher detergent powder or dishwasher
tablets in this appliance. However, please note that tablets do not
always dissolve fully during shorter wash programs, so you are advised
to operate your appliance on a longer wash program if using tablets.
In addition, the use of tablets may result in spots appearing on dishes
and glasses, if this happens you are advised to activate the water
softener as described in section 3.1.1. above.
Open the detergent dispenser (Pic.1) add powder (See program for
Qty) or tablet to the correct container (Pic.2) then close the container
cover.
If the program selected has
a pre-wash cycle and you
are using detergent powder,
add the main dosage of
powder to compartment ‘A’
and the specified amount of
powder into compartment
‘B’.
Close the compartment lid
once the powder has been
added.

3.1.4. Adjusting The Rinse Aid Dispenser
3.1.5. Adjusting the Water Softener
The water softener in your appliance must be set manually, using the
water hardness dial. The water softener is designed to remove minerals and
salts from the water, which would otherwise have a detrimental effect on the
operation of the appliance.
Unscrew the cap from the salt container.
Turn the arrow towards the ‘-‘ or ‘+’ setting
based on the hardness of your water see
chart below:
Please note that the Clarke scale indicates the UK degree of water hardness.
Please Note: Occasionally small rust deposits may be present in your
incoming water supply due to the water passing through older pipe work in
the network. If present, the rust may show up as small harmless brown
spots on the stainless steel interior of your appliance. To remove the
spots, simply wipe them away with a damp cloth.
The rinse aid container has 6 settings.
Your machine has been pre-set at setting 4.
If you can see white spots on the crockery or poor
drying is a problem increase the setting to 5.
If the crockery is still not drying properly, increase
the setting to 6.

Section 4. Maintenance
4.1. Cleaning the Filter
The filter helps prevent large pieces of food or other items entering the
pump and causing damage. It is important that you examine and clean
the filter system on a regular basis. Blocked filters are not covered
under the Guarantee!
4.2. Cleaning the Door
Periodically clean the inner stainless steel lining of the door with a warm
damp cloth. Pay particular attention to the edges (as shown below) so
that food deposits do not build up, causing the door seal to fail. Clean the
door seal with warm soapy water.
Never use abrasive cleaners or polishes on the stainless steel!
The filter assembly is located
inside the appliance just
underneath the lower spray arm.
Separate the filter system (see
diagram left) and wash the three
parts in warm soapy water.
Re-assemble the filter assembly
and return it to the filter
chamber.
Turn the top clockwise to lock
the assembly back into position.
To remove the filter assembly,
turn the top anti-clockwise and
lift the assembly out.
