After this you should set the water softener level.
o Open the door of the dishwasher and remove the basket. The basket should be empty when you remove it. o Turn the water softener cap anticlockwise and remove it (1). o Pour 1 litre of water into the water softener. IMPORTANT: It is only necessary to do this when you fill the container with salt for the first time. o Ensure that the supplied funnel is positioned correctly. o Pour salt into the water softener, you should add approximately 1 kg of salt into the water softener (2).
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 container is located on the inside of the dishwasher door next to the detergent dispenser. o To access the rinse aid dispenser, you should turn and remove the cap to reveal the spout (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 Use the dial, located on the rinse aid dispenser, to set the level. o You should always start with the dispenser set on level 4. If you find spots on your dishes or the drying results are poor, increase the amount of rinse aid by rotating the dial to level 5.
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.
Loading the basket The appropriate way to load the basket is shown in the picture below.
8 Soup plates 9 Dessert dishes 10 Cutlery basket o The basket is fitted with plate racks which can be stowed horizontally if required. o The cup shelf can be rotated upwards if no cup is placed on it to make more space in the basket. o Saucepans and serving bowls must always be placed with their bases upwards. o Deep saucepans should be slanted, to allow water to run off. IMPORTANT: Care should be taken to make sure that the spray arm can move freely when items have been loaded into the basket.
The cutlery basket Cutlery should be placed inside of the cutlery basket. The cutlery basket should then be placed in the appropriate position in the basket. 1 Forks 2 Soup spoons 3 Dessert spoons 4 Teaspoons 5 Knives 6 Serving spoons 7 Ladles 8 Serving forks IMPORTANT: Do not allow items of cutlery to fall through the bottom of the cutlery basket, as this may cause damage to the spray arm and/or the cutlery.
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 arm can move freely.

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) Fine filter 3) Coarse 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). o Remove the basket from the appliance. o Rotate the fine filter anti-clockwise and then lift it upwards. Rinse out this section under a tap to remove any food debris that remains in it. o Pull out the main filter and rinse this under the tap to remove any food debris that is trapped in it. o Place the fine filter back in its original position.
o Grasp the middle of the spray arm and pull it upwards to remove it. o Wash the arm under running water and carefully replace it in the dishwasher. o After reassembling the spray arm, check that it moves freely. Cleaning the control panel IMPORTANT: Do not use any abrasive cleaner or household polish on either the control panel or operating parts. o Wipe over the control panel using a brand new damp cloth with warm water.
o Leave the door ajar slightly to prevent an unpleasant odour from developing. o Clean all of the filters and dry the inside of the machine thoroughly. Reconnecting the appliance after a period of disuse If the appliance has not been used for a prolonged period of time, then before using the appliance again, we would recommend that you do the following:o Check that no sludge or rust has built up in the pipes. If this has happened, let water run through the tap for a few minutes.
Installing the dishwasher into a kitchen cabinet o Ensure that the aperture that you will be fitting the dishwasher into is of the size given in the diagram above. o Ensure that the rear panel of the furniture housing unit has been removed and that the ventilation cut out shown is adhered to.
o You must ensure that there is a hole to feed the electrical cable through. There must also be holes left to connect the appliance to your mains water supply and to your drain outlet. These steps must be done before commencing the rest of the installation process. o IMPORTANT: The stop valve for your water supply MUST be easily accessible during an emergency. o Before proceeding with the rest of the installation, you must connect the inlet hose and the outlet hose to the rear of the appliance.
Installing the aesthetic panel o The diagram below shows the required dimensions of the aesthetic panel. For a detailed diagram please see below. o You should drill the fastening holes in the panel, according to the diagram above. o The maximum weight of the aesthetic panel should be 3 – 4 kg.
o Assemble the aesthetic handle to the previously drilled holes and fix the lower brackets and hinge as in the diagram above. o Install the aesthetic door to the front of the appliance using the fixing screws as shown in the above image.
o Carefully slide the dishwasher in the aperture cut-out. o Adjust the screw to balance the appliance and to ensure the aesthetic panel aligns with the cabinet. o Take out the cap, as shown in the above diagram, to reveal the fixing hole. o Fix the screws on both sides to ensure the dishwasher cannot be moved from the cabinet. o Replace the cap. Connecting to the mains water supply IMPORTANT: Do not connect the appliance to your mains water supply using an old or an existing water inlet hose.
o The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to the house’s hot water line, or centralised heating system, as long as the temperature does not exceed 60°C at any time. o If the temperature exceeds this limit, the wash cycle length will be reduced and the efficiency of the appliance will be dramatically lower. o The connection to the hot water line can be made by following the same procedure as above for the cold water line. Water outlet o Connect the drain hose to the rear of the appliance.
o The plastic hose support must be solidly fastened to the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and allowing water to spill outside of the drain. WARNING: NEVER EXTEND THE DRAINAGE HOSE FROM ITS ORIGINAL LENGTH. Power supply IMPORTANT: The electrical socket must still be accessible once the appliance is installed. o Consult the rating plate on the inside of the appliance before making the electrical connections. Ensure that the voltage reaching the plug is the same as that on the rating plate.
o If you are not going to use the plug that is fitted to the power cable, then the dishwasher should be wired into a 3A double pole switched fused spur outlet, having 3 mm contact separation and placed in an easily accessible position adjacent to the appliance. The spur outlet must still be accessible even when your dishwasher is located in its housing. o Broken or damaged power leads must only be replaced by a suitably qualified person. A power lead of a similar type must be used in replacement.
