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 to switch the power o n o r o ff at the p lug
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 resp ons ib ility to ens ure that the 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.

•Never try and disconnect the power by pulling the supply cable – hold the plug
firmly and pull it out of the socket.
•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 power at
the socket and arrange for a qualified electrician to replace the cable.
•Never remove the power cable, open the appliance cabinet or try to modify the
appliance in any way. All service work must be carried out by a qualified
electrician.
•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

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 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.

•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 can 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
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 l 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.
