Using your dishwasher Before first use o Install the appliance as per the installation instructions contained within this booklet. o Add 1.5Kg specialist dishwasher salt to the dishwasher water softener compartment and then fill with tap water. After this you should set the water softener level. o Fill the rinse aid dispenser and then set the rinse aid dosage. Filling with dishwasher salt IMPORTANT: You should only use salt that is specially designed for use in a dishwasher.
o Refit and fully tighten the water softener cap. o The salt required warning light will go out approximately 2-6 hours after you have filled the water softener with salt. When the salt indicator neon lights on the control panel in the future, you should follow the filling with dishwasher salt procedure again. o IMPORTANT: You do not need to pour additional water into the container when you subsequently fill the water softener with salt.
Filling with rinse aid The rinse aid is released during the final rinse and it helps to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes. These droplets will lead to spots and streaks being left on items after the wash program has completed. o Your dishwasher is designed to utilise liquid rinse aid. o The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the drop down door, next to the detergent dispenser. To access the rinse aid dispenser, you should turn the cap anticlockwise and it will pop out of the hole (1).
Setting the rinse aid level The amount of rinse aid that the dishwasher requires also depends on the hardness of your water. You should experiment with the rinse aid setting, until you find a level that gives the best results. o On the first wash cycle, we would recommend that the rinse aid level is set to number 4. o If you get water spots and poor drying performance, then you should turn the arrow anticlockwise and increase the setting to the next number.
o The left section displayed in the diagram (A) is for the main wash cycle detergent. Only one detergent tablet should be placed in the dispenser at any one time. If you are using detergent powder or liquid, you should follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations. o The right section displayed in the diagram (B) can have separate detergent placed in it for any wash cycle that has a pre-wash element to it, however this is optional.
Adjusting the upper basket Your dishwasher has an adjustable upper basket which you can alter to the most suitable position for the items you are going to wash in the upper and lower baskets. o The height of the upper basket can be adjusted by placing the wheels on a different height of the rails. Long items such as cutlery, salad servers and knives should be placed on the shelf so they do not obstruct the rotation of the spray arms.
Upper position o If the lower wheels are placed in the guide runners, then the basket is in the upper position. o For accommodating items such as glass tumblers and wine glasses. Wine glasses should be placed upside down, so that the stem of the glass rests in one of the grooves on the side flap. o Please note that when the basket is in the upper position, you cannot have the side flaps in a raised position. Otherwise the basket will not slide back into the interior of the dishwasher.
Loading the lower basket The lower basket is most suited to washing larger and more heavily soiled items, such as saucepans, saucepan lids and serving dishes. You can also load bowls and a variety of plates into the lower basket. 2. 4. 5. 7. 8. 9. 10. Saucers Small dessert bowls Medium dessert bowls Dessert dishes / Side plates Dinner plates Large dessert bowls / Serving bowls Oval serving plate o Saucepans and serving bowls must always be placed with their bases upwards.
Loading dishes and cutlery Household cloths, sponges or any other object that may absorb water SHOULD NOT be washed in a dishwasher. o Remove leftovers and soften the remnants of burnt food in pans, prior to loading dishes in the appliance. o Once the dishwasher has been loaded, check that the spray arms can move freely. If the spray arm comes into contact with any item, then you should rearrange the wash load.
The following items are not always suitable for washing inside a dishwasher:o Stoneware should only be washed if the manufacturer of the item has marked it as dishwasher safe. o Plastic items (such as lunchboxes) should only be washed if the manufacturer has marked it as dishwasher safe. o Glazed crockery may fade with repeated washing inside of a dishwasher. o Items made of silverware or aluminium can discolour when washed inside a dishwasher.
1 Hour For dishes that need to be rinsed and dried only. Glass For lightly soiled loads, such as glasses, crystal and fine china. Rapid A shorter wash for lightly soiled loads that do not need drying.
o Select any program options that you want to use (e.g. delay start). o Close the door firmly, so that you hear the door lock click shut. o After a few seconds, you will hear the appliance begin to fill with water and the wash program will have started. Changing the wash program IMPORTANT: This should only be attempted when the cycle has only just started, otherwise the detergent tablet may have already released or you could have hot water escaping. o Slightly open the door of the appliance.
Adding an item to the wash NOTE: If you open the door during a wash cycle the machine will pause. When you close the door the machine will continue working after 10 seconds. o Slightly open the appliance door and wait for the spray arms to stop working. This will avoid scalding by hot water. o Fully open the door and add your required item to the basket. o Close the door. The appliance will resume the wash after 10 seconds.
Setting a half load The half load option means that the dishwasher will use less water and wash for less time than a normal cycle. IMPORTANT: You should only load 50% of the normal capacity of items to wash. Under normal operation the dishwasher can wash 10 place settings. Using the half-load mode you should only wash 5 place settings. o Check whether the appliance needs rinse aid or salt adding to it.
Saving energy using your dishwasher Loading dishes o Refer to the relevant section of this manual for instructions on placing items in the dishwasher for the most efficient cleaning. o Only run the dishwasher when it is full for optimum energy and water usage. o Check the program table to select the most efficient program according to the size and type of the load. o The ECONOMY program washes your items at a lower temperature and uses less water during the cycle.
Cleaning and maintenance IMPORTANT: The appliance should be disconnected from your mains supply before commencing any cleaning process. The filter system Your appliance is fitted with three levels of filtering; these are located in the base of the dishwasher for ease of access. 1) Main filter 2) Coarse filter 3) Fine filter Main filter- Food and soil particles are trapped by this filter and pulverised by a special jet on the lower spray arm. This debris is then washed down the drain.
Cleaning the filters For best performance and results, the entire filter assembly should be thoroughly cleaned regularly (ideally after each wash cycle). 1. Turn the filter unit anticlockwise and then lift it upwards. 2. Separate the three filters 3. Rinse the filters separately under a tap to remove any food debris that is trapped in it. 4. Reassemble the three filters. 5. Place the filter unit back into its original positions in the base of the dishwasher.
Cleaning the spray arms The spray arms should be cleaned regularly, to prevent hard water deposits from clogging the spray arm jets and bearings. o To remove the spray arm, unscrew the nut and take out the washer that sits on top of the spray arm. o Gently pull to remove the spray arm. o Wash the spray arm in warm, soapy water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. o Rinse the spray arm thoroughly and then reassemble the spray arm back in its original position.
