• Never try and disconnect the power by pulling the supply cable – hold the plug
firmly and pull it out of thesocket.
• Never touch the plug or power cable with wet hands.
• Check the power cable periodically for signs of damage and ensure that it is
not trapped underneath the appliance. If the cable is damaged, turn off the

• The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children
should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Ensure that the appliance is sited well away from other heat sources, i.e. open
fires, boilers etc and in a dry, well ventilated room. The temperature must not
fall below +5° or rise above +35°.
• Do not sit on the appliance or stand on the open door – the appliance could tip
forwards.
• Keep children away from detergent and rinse aid, keep children away from the
open door of the dishwasher, there could still be some detergent left inside.
• This appliance is not a toy – ensure that children are supervised at all times
whilst in the vicinity of this appliance.
• Take care when loading the baskets with knives and cutlery. Always ensure
that sharp points are pointing away from you or down into the basket.
• Only wash crockery and utensils that are clearly marked ‘dishwasher safe’.
• Do not wash plastic items unless they are clearly marked ‘dishwasher safe’.
• Only use dishwasher detergents and rinse aid clearly marked for use with
automaticdishwashers.
• Never use non dishwasher detergent in this appliance, i.e. hand soap, washing
machine detergent, washing up liquid etc.
• Always add dishwasher salt to your dishwasher, even when using 3-in-1
tablets. This will help protect your appliance against limescale.
• If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Operating the Appliance
Before Operating the Appliance
Adding Salt
•Remove the lower basket and then unscrew the salt container cap (1).
•Add water and approximately 1kg of specialist dishwasher salt to the
container until almost overflowing. N.B. It is normal for a small amount
of water to come out of the container whilst filling it with salt. Note: Fill
the salt compartment with water at first use only.
•Now replace the screw cap correctly and ensure that it is tight. If not,
•salt may leak 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 programme immediately to activate
the water softener and flush away any salt spilled into the machine.
•If salt is low the indicator light will show on the control panel.
Adding Rinse Aid

•Remove the Rinse Aid Filler Cap (1).
•Add Rinse Aid until the rinse aid level indicator becomes dark (2).
•Replace the Filler Cap (3).
•If the rinse aid level is sufficient the indicator light will be dark on the
control panel (2B). If more rinse aid is required the indicator will be
light (2A).
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 programmes, so you are advised to operate
your appliance on a longer wash programme if using tablets.
In addition, the use of tablets may result in spots appearing on dishes
and glasses.
Push the latch to open the detergent container as shown in image 1. The
detergent pod has “level” lines inside to help measure the amount of
detergent you use. The pod can take a total of 40cm³ of detergent. If your
dishes are heavily soiled pour 25cm³ of detergent into the
larger compartment (b), if they are less soiled use only 15cm³.
If the programme selected has a pre-wash cycle you should add 5cm³
of detergent to the pre-wash compartment (a).
If using combined detergents, make sure to check the specifications
on the product to ensure that it is appropriate for the wash programme,
your machine and the level of hardness of the mains water.

Combined Detergent – Recommended Usage
If you are using a combined detergent, add a rinse aid agent to your machine
and switch the rinse agent setting to its lowest position (1) and activate the
tablet detergent button in order to obtain better results. Depending on the
water hardness you may need to fill the salt container with salt.
We do not recommended using 3 in 1 tablets on fast or rapid programmes
as the tablet may not fully dissolve. For these programs we suggest using
normal dishwasher powder.

Loading the Baskets
Upper Basket
Upper Basket Height Adjustment
There are folding racks on the
upper basket of your machine.
You can use these racks in an
open or closed position
depending on whether you
want to place cups, long
glasses, or cutlery on them
Ensure that items are not
blocking the rotation of the
top spray arm.
The upper baskets location can be
altered as shown in the image to the
left.
The benefit of this is by dropping or
moving the basket up in the
machine you will have more space
either below or above for larger
items.
In order to change the height,
remove the basket by shifting the
clip at the end of the rail to the side.
You can then reposition the basket
on the other wheels, do not forget to
shift the clip at the end of the rail
back into position to lock the basket
and prevent it from sliding out.
