Section
1. Installation
•Position the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room with a solid level
floor. The room temperature must not fall below +5° or rise above +35°.
•This appliance is fitted with adjustable feet so that you can ensure it is
sitting level. Adjust the feet by turning left or right until the appliance is
level.
•The adjustable feet must never be removed.
•Plug the 3pin moulded plug into a nearby 13amp plug socket. Always
make sure that you can easily gain access t o switch t he power off at the
plug socket.
•N.B. This appliance must be earthed!
•If you have installed this appliance underneath a work surface the plug
socket should have a fused switch located above the work surface so
that you can easily switch the appliance on or off.
•You are advised to turn the power off at the plug socket when you have
finished using your appliance.
•Before using the appliance for the first time, you must set the water
softener, add salt, add rinse aid and add detergent.
•Your plumber will connect the water hose (supplied) to the water inlet
connection at the rear of the appliance and to an adjacent cold water
supply. It is your responsibility to ensure supp lied w ashers have been
used and that both connections are water tight.
•Ensure water pressure is within the range specified on the Rating Label.
Your plumber will connect the water drain pipe to an adjacent sink (see
Pic.1 below)
•Ensure that the water hose and water drain pipe are not kinked when the
appliance is pushed into place. If either of these pipes is kinked the
appliance will not operate correctly.
•Ensure that the appliance is not standing on the power cable or hoses.
•Do not use the water inlet hose of your old machine. Use the new water
inlet hose and connect the hose directly to the water inlet tap. The
pressure supplied by the tap should be a minimum of 0.03 Mpa and at a
maximum of 1 Mpa. If the water pressure is above 1 Mpa, a pressure
relief valve should be fitted.
After the connections are made, the tap should be turned on fully and
checked that it is water tight. You should always turn off the water inlet tap
after a wash programme is finished.
Note: An Aquastop water hose is used in some models. In such
circumstances, heavy tension will exist. Do not cut the Aquastop water hose
and do not let it get folded or twisted.

Water Outlet Hose
The water drain hose can be connected either directly to the water
drain hole or to the sink outlet spigot using a special bent pipe (if
available). The hose connection should be at a minimum of 50cm and
at a maximum of 110 cm from the floor.
Please note that a drain hose longer than 4m must not be used as it
may prevent the appliance from washing correctly.

Section
3.
Operating the Appliance
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 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 lea
k int o the d ishw asher ch amb er which
ca
n 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.

·
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).
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 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.

3.1.4. Combined Detergent – Recommended Usage
3.1.5. Adjusting the Water Softener
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.

3.3. Loading the Baskets
3.3.1. Upper Basket
There are folding dish racks on
the upper basket of your
machine.
You can use these dish 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.
Upper Basket Height Adjustment
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.

8.CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning your Dishwasher is important
to maintain the machine’s service life.
Oil and lime may build up in your
Dishwasher over time. If this occurs:
• Fill the detergent compartment
but do not load any dishes. Select
a programme which runs at high
temperature and run the Dishwasher
empty. If this does not clean your
Dishwasher sufficiently, use a
cleaning agent designed for use with
dishwashers.
•Wipe the door seals regularly
with a damp cloth to remove any
accumulated residue.
8.1. Cleaning machine and filters
Clean the filters and spray arms at least
once a week. If any food waste remains on
the coarse and fine filters, remove them and
clean them thoroughly with water.

To remove and clean the filter combination,
turn it counter clockwise and remove it by
lifting it upwards (1).Pull the coarse filter out
of the micro filter (2).Then pull and remove
the metal filter (3).Rinse the filter with lots of
water until it is free of residue. Reassemble
the filters. Replace the filter insert, and
rotate it clockwise (4).
• Never use your Dishwasher without a
filter.
• Incorrect fitting of the filter will reduce
the washing effectiveness.
• Clean filters are necessary for proper
running of the machine.
8.2. Spray arms
Make sure that the spray holes are not
clogged and that no food waste is stuck
to the spray arms. If there is any clogging,
remove the spray arms and clean them
under water. To remove the upper spray
arm undo the nut holding it in position
by turning it clockwise and pulling it
downwards. Make sure that the nut is
properly tightened when refitting the upper
spray arm.

4.4. Daily Maintenance
Follow these useful tips to ensure your dishwasher stays in tip-
top working order:

•Always pay particular attention to the filter and spray arms – give them
a regular clean as described in 4.1. and 4.3. above.
