Detergent and rinse aid
Detergent
Use detergent specifically intended for dishwashers. Refill the dispenser before each wash cycle according to the "Wash cycle table." The detergent dispenser is on the inside panel of the door.
Loading the detergent
To open the cover “A” on the dispenser, press the button "B".
Pour the detergent into the dispenser "C" (which has a pre-wash and a main wash compartment). After the detergent has been placed in the dispenser, close the cover and press down until it clicks in place.
NOTE: Remove excess detergent from the edges of the dispenser before closing the lid.
WARNING
Dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes and keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. Check that the detergent dispenser is empty after completion of the wash cycle.
Rinse aid
This product makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry without spotting. The dispenser is located on the inside panel of the door and should be filled after every 80 wash cycles (or when the Rinse aid indicator light comes on for models with this feature).
Loading the rinse aid
To open the dispenser, turn the cap "D" in an anticlockwise direction and pour in the rinse aid, making sure not to overfill. The amount of rinse aid can be changed by turning the dosage adjuster "E", beneath the cap, with a screwdriver. There are 6 different settings.
Important: Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying. If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs, turn the dosage adjuster to a higher setting. If the dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjuster to a lower setting.
5
Loading the dishwasher
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove the larger food particles to prevent the filter from becoming clogged.
If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely hard to remove, soak them before washing.
This eliminates the need for extra wash cycles.
Pull out the racks to load the dishwasher.
Lower rack Upper rack
Load for 12 standard settings
The lower rack
Place the most difficult-to-clean items on the lower rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls.
It is best to place serving dishes and lids on the sides of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.
Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down.
The upper rack
The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishes, such as glasses, cups and saucers, plates and small bowls.
Position the dishes so they are not moved by the spray of the water.
6
Adjusting the upper rack
To adjust the height of the upper rack, rotate the caps located on the end of the rack guide rails to the side, remove the rack completely and refit using the alternate set of wheels (see Fig. A). Adjust the upper rack to the higher level to allow more height in the lower rack for large items .
Fig A. Adjusting the upper rack
Cutlery basket
Cutlery and small kitchen utensils are best placed in the cutlery basket (Fig B).
Mix spoons, knives and forks within each section to stop them nesting together to ensure the water circulates freely.
Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the basket with their points down or placed in a horizontal position.

7
Using the dishwasher
Starting a wash cycle
Make sure that the appliance is plugged in and switched on.
Make sure that the water supply is turned on.
Load the detergent (see "Detergent and rinse aid").
Turn the dial located on the right of the control panel in a clockwise direction until it points to the number or symbol of the cycle required (see "Wash cycle table").
Press Power button. The Power light will turn on and the wash cycle will begin.
If you forget to load some of the dishes
The wash cycle can be paused by pressing the Power button. You can then load additional dishes and turn the appliance back on. The cycle will continue from where it left off.
At the end of the wash cycle
When the dial stops turning and is pointing to a STOP mark
(see Fig C) the cycle has finished. Turn the appliance off using the Power button and turn off the water supply. Open the dishwasher door slightly to improve drying performance.
Wait a few minute before unloading the dishwasher to avoid handling the dishes and utensils while they are still hot and therefore more likely to break. They will also dry better.
Fig C. Stop marks
Cancelling or changing a wash cycle setting
You can only change cycle that is underway if it has been running for only a short time. Otherwise, the detergent may have already been used and the appliance may have already drained the wash water.
If this is the case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled (See “Detergent and rinse aid”).
Press the Power button, and the light will turn off. Rotate the dial in a clockwise direction to the desired cycle setting. Turn the dishwasher back on using the Power button.

Energy-saving and environmental tips
Run the dishwasher when it is fully loaded to save on energy.
Rather than run a full cycle for a half load, run the pre-rinse cycle, which will prevent odours from forming and food from caking onto the dishes.
Choose the right wash cycle: the choice of cycle depends on the type of dishware, cookware and utensils being washed and how dirty they are.
Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much detergent, the result will not be cleaner dishes, but, rather, a greater negative impact on the environment.
Maintaining your dishwasher
After every wash , turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odours are not trapped inside.
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket.
Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products to clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher. Use only a cloth and warm soapy water.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
If you have to move the dishwasher , try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be laid on its back.
Do not lay the dishwasher on its right-hand side
Never lift the dishwasher by the door handle
Cleaning the door seals. One of the reasons that odours form in the dishwasher is that food gets trapped in these seals. Periodic cleaning with a sponge will prevent this.
When you go on holiday it is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This will help the door seals last longer and prevent odours from forming.
10
Cleaning and special maintenance
Cleaning the filter assembly
For the best performance and results, keep the filter assembly clean.
The filter removes food particles from the wash water, allowing the water to be recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove any food particles trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the semi-circular filter and cup ("A") under running water.
Fig D. Filter assembly
To remove the filter assembly, pull the handle up. Clean the entire filter assembly (made up of the semicircular filter "A" and the fine filter "B" in Fig. E) at least once a month, using a soft brush. To reassemble, insert the entire assembly into the dishwasher, locate it correctly in its seat and press downwards.
Do not use the dishwasher without the filters. Improper replacement of the filters may reduce the dishwasher’s performance.
Fig E. Semicircular and fine filters
Cleaning the spray arms
Food particles may become encrusted on the spray arms and block the holes (see "Interior view”, letters C and E). Check the spray arms periodically and clean them when needed. To clean the spray arms, remove them by unscrewing them from the bearings, run them under clean running water, and refit them. Ensure the lower spray arm is correctly locked into place, and the upper arm is screwed in tightly.
Cleaning the water inlet filter
The water inlet filter is in the inlet hose where it screws onto the tap. To clean the water inlet filter, turn off the water tap, unscrew the hose, remove the filter and clean it carefully under running water.
Then refit the filter and tighten the hose back into position on the tap.

Troubleshooting
If the dishwasher does not function or does not function correctly, check the following before calling for assistance.
Problem
The dishwasher does not start.
Check
Is the plug pushed into the socket correctly?
The dishwasher does not fill with water.
Is the power on in the house?
Is the door closed properly?
Is the Power switch "ON"?
Is the water supply turned on?
Is the water turned on and is the hose connected properly?
The dishwasher does not drain.
The dishes are not clean.
Is the water supply to the house turned on and does it have sufficient pressure?
Is the water supply hose crimped or bent?
Is the filter for the water supply hose clogged?
Is the drain hose kinked or bent?
Is the drain hose kinked or bent?
Has the detergent been dispensed?
Are the spray arm holes blocked?
Are the spray arms rotating?
Have the dishes been loaded correctly?
Lime deposits or a white film form on the dishes.
Is the rinse aid dosage correct?
If, despite all these checks, the dishwasher still does not function and/or the problem persists, contact your nearest authorised service centre and provide them with the following information:
1. The nature of the problem.
2. The model number (Mod...) and the serial number (S/N...), found on the side of the inner part of the door.
12
Installation
1. Position the dishwasher in the desired location. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned to the right or left, to allow correct installation.
2. Level the dishwasher by screwing the feet in or out. The dishwasher should not be inclined more than 2 degrees, to ensure proper performance.
3. Connect the dishwasher to the water mains using the supplied new hose sets. Do not use old hose sets.
Cold water connection
Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded ¾” bsp connector and make sure that it is fastened tightly (see Fig. F).
If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run first, until it is clear and free of impurities. Otherwise the water inlet filter may get blocked.
Fig F. Connecting the water supply hose
Hot water connection
The dishwasher must not be connected to an under sink high pressure “push through” type hot water system as damage to the system may result.
The dishwasher can also be connected to the house's hot water supply following the same procedure as for the cold water connection.
This will reduce the wash cycle time by about 15 minutes, and the wash efficiency will be slightly reduced.
Do not connect to a hot water system that exceeds a temperature of 60 o
C.
4. Connect the drain hose
The recommended method of installation is shown in Diagrams 1, 2 and 3. The diagrams are designed to eliminate problems that occur with combined sink – dishwasher waste systems.
The standpipe must have a minimum diameter of 38 mm and stand 750 mm above the floor. A drain hose support is provided to hold the drain hose in place in the standpipe (see Diagrams 1 and 2).
It is not recommended that the drain hose or drain pipe be connected directly to a waste disposal unit (see Diagram 2).
13
When connecting the drain hose to a sink trap with a drain hose spigot, it is important that the drain hose is supported to the height of the bench (see Diagram 3). Ensure the drain spigot has a minimum hole size of 15 mm and that it has been drilled out.
5. Connect the electricity.
Ensure the voltage and frequency in the home correspond to those on the rating plate of the appliance (located on the side of the stainless steel inner door) and the electrical system can cope with the maximum voltage on the rating plate. If the above conditions are met, insert the plug into an earthed electrical socket.
Do NOT use adaptors or extension leads.
14
Minimum cabinet clearances
Note: ensure that any bare wood surrounding the dishwasher is sealed with an oil-based paint or moisture-proof polyurethane, to prevent possible steam damage.
