We recommend that this appliance be connected to the mains supply via a suitable switched and fused socket in a readily accessible position. If the supply cord or the mains lead is damaged please do not replace it yourself.
Water inlet hose connection Drain Hose Connection Make sure your plumbing is suitable to install your new dishwasher. If in doubt contact a qualified plumber. Fit the drainage hose of your machine to the drainage pipe without bending. Secure your hose firmly to the waste pipe to avoid it coming off during the washing process. The appliance must be connected to the water mains using the new hose set supplied with your new dishwasher. Old hose sets must not be re-used.
Installation of dishwasher Remove all packaging before positioning the machine. See the following diagram. Ensure there is a clearance each side of the machine to allow slight side ways movement for servicing. Note: If there is already enough space, you don’t need to remove the worktop to install it under the counter. Position the machine next to a water tap and a drain. When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet and drain hoses are not linked or squashed.
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch on the inner liner on either side of the cabinet. If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet, until the machine is perfectly level. 5 How to use Water hardness & regeneration settings The dishwasher requires lime free water. Hard water leaves watermarks on your dishes. Your dishwasher has a special water softening system to remove the hardness of the tap water.
Water Hardness Level Adjustment Table Hardness Level 1st Level 2nd Level 3rd Level 4th Level 5th Level 6th Level English Water Hardness °dE German Water Hardness °dH French Water Hardness °dF* 0-5 0-4 0-8 6-9 5-7 9-13 10-15 8-12 14-22 Press the Programme Selection button to set the water hardness level to P2 position. 16-19 13-15 23-27 Press the Programme Selection button to set the water hardness level to P3 position.
Adding Dishwasher Salt Only use special pelletized dishwasher salt in your machine to soften the hard water. Never use other types of salts including table salt, animal feeding salt, sea salt, culinary salt. These types of salt do not dissolve in water easily and will damage your appliance beyond repair. When you run the dishwasher, the Water softener will be full of water. Therefore, adding softening salt should always be done immediately before you start the dishwasher.
Warning! Two-in-one and three-in-one detergents You will obtain the best results from your dishwasher if you use separate detergent, rinse aid and watersoftening salt. dishwasher. Always place the tablets in the detergent dispenser of the detergent holder. Detergent manufacturers also produce combined detergents known as ‘two-inone’ and ‘three-in-one’. Three-in-one: These products contain detergent, rinse aid and watersoftening salt.
Using two-in-one detergent and rinse aid • These detergents will not give you the same drying performance that you can obtain by using separate detergent, salt and rinse aid. To increase the drying performance: • Put your appliance’s rinse aid setting at “1” and apply rinse aid. When the rinse aid is used up, add more rinse aid to the rinse aid dispenser.
If you are using tablet detergent read the manufacturer’s recommendations on the packaging in order to determine where the tablets should be placed inside the dishwasher (detergent dispenser, cutlery basket, etc.) After you put in the detergent, shut the container lid (D) and ensure you hear the clicking sound. During the wash programme the detergent will dispense automatically and the lid (D) will remain open when the programme finishes. Do not use detergent when using the pre-wash programme.
Loading the dishwasher Loading the dishwasher correctly will increase the washing, drying and energy performance of your machine. Examine the information given in this section and the information stated in the Programme chart and quick reference card given with the manual. Remove any large scraps of food from the dishes before placing in the dishwasher to avoid clogging the filters. There are three separate baskets, in which you can put your dishes.
Folding plate support rods There are four separate “folding plate support rods” in the lower basket of your dishwasher designed to allow you more space to accommodate saucepans and large bowls in the lower basket. You can either fold each section (1,2,3,4) individually or, all at once, to create a large empty space.
Upper basket with variable height setting The upper basket is equipped with a lifting mechanism which enables you to change the height of the basket without having to remove it from the dishwasher, even if it is fully loaded. The height of the upper basket was set to its lowest position at the factory. To lift the upper basket to the “high” (A) position, hold it on one side and carefully pull it upwards. To lift the opposite side of the basket, hold it and pull it upwards in the same manner (A).
