Installation...

CONNECT TO A DRAINAGE SYSTEM...

WARNING

Connect your dishwasher drain hose to

pipes which connect to the foul drain system, and not to surface water drains.

IMPORTANT NOTES

For the correct operation of your dishwasher, it is essential to comply with the following information.

Standpipe

Ensure that the hose is not pushed too far down the standpipe.

If the end of your drain hose is fitted with ‘retaining flaps’, ensure that they are inserted fully into the standpipe. This will prevent the pipe from jumping out during installation and machine use.

Sink Waste System

For under sink drainage:

Before connecting the drain hose, remove any internal restrictions - This will prevent a build up of debris which could cause a blockage.

Remove any restrictions from the waste spigot and ensure that the sealing bung is removed. The hose should be routed, such that it is raised to a minimum height of 800mm (3 1 /

2

")

Note: Ensure the sink outlet pipe has a minimum diameter of 32mm.

DO NOT position the standpipe near an electrical outlet.

ENSURE that the drain hose is not kinked and it is routed as shown in the diagram.

The standpipe should be connected to: a) A discharge stack-pipe b) An external gulley OR c) A sink waste.

The standpipe should have a bore of at least 38mm (1 1 /

2

"). It should be installed as shown, have a trap fitted and must discharge into the same drain system as your household sink.

It must NOT be connected to a surface water drain.

1. Untie the end of the GREY drainage hose from the rear of the appliance.

2. Reposition ‘Hooked End Support’ as required along GREY drainage hose.

3. If fitting an under sink waste disposal unit, cut out the membrane, bung or blanking plug.

4. Attach the GREY drainage hose to the under sink waste disposal unit securely, using the clip and rubber tube supplied.

Ensure the drain hose is securely attached, to prevent it coming away while the machine is in use and causing a flood.

Programme Guide...

To save on energy...

Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded.

Do not wash the dishes in running water.

Use the washing programme that is most appropriate for each type of load.

To cut down on detergent consumption...

The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the environment.

To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent and to save electricity, observe the following:

Separate the more delicate items from dishes that are more resistant to

● aggressive detergents and high temperatures.

Do not pour the detergent directly onto the dishes.

Removing the dishes:

At the end of the washing programme, wait at least 20 minutes before removing the dishes, to allow them to cool down.

To prevent any water droplets on the upper basket from dripping onto the dishes in the lower basket, it is advisable to unload the lower basket first - and the remove the upper basket.

Before Using your Appliance...

Before using your Dishwasher you must carry out the following steps to ensure you obtain the best possible wash performance from your appliance.

SETTING WATER HARDNESS

N. 1 NO SALT 0 - 4˚dH (0 - 7˚dF)

N. 1 5 - 9˚dH (8 - 15˚dF)

Follow these 4 steps:

- Adjust the Water Softener.

- Fill the Salt Container.

- Fill the Rinse Aid Container.

- Add detergent.

N. 2

N. 3

10 - 22˚dH (16 - 37˚dF)

23 - 29˚dH (38 - 50˚dF)

N. 4 30 - 35˚dH (51 - 60˚dF)

N. 5 36 - 41˚dH (61 - 70˚dF)

ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENER...

The dishwasher is equipped with a device for the user to adjust the water softening system, according to the hardness of the water supply.

The adjustment selector can be found inside the plastic locking ring located on right hand interior wall. This allows adjustment to 5 settings: adjustment selector

WATER HARDNESS TABLE:

● Contact your local water board for information on the water hardness for your area.

When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should be refilled after approximately 20 wash cycles.

The salt container can hold approximately

1.7Kg of salt in grains.

● In order to rinse dishes and glasses satisfactorily, the dishwasher requires soft water i.e containing little or no lime, otherwise water stains are left behind on crockery and glasses etc. If the tap water exceeds a certain level of hardness, it must be softened, ie.

decalcified, so that it can be used in the dishwasher.

● The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic softening system which uses a special regenerating salt to reduce the hardness of the water. The dishwasher is factory set for water hardness level 3

(average hardness 41-60˚dF - 24-31˚dH).

● In order to ensure that the correct amount of salt is being used to regenerate the water softener, the dishwasher is equipped with an electronic device for adjusting the water softening setting. The setting may be adjusted electronically. To set this correctly the hardness of your water needs to be ascertained.

12

FILLING THE SPECIAL SALT

CONTAINER...

Note:

Only use recommended Dishwasher salt or granular salt.

DO NOT use everyday table salt, cooking salt or road salt as they contain insoluble substances which could harm the

Dishwasher.

How the salt works:

While washing is taking place, salt is automatically rinsed out of the salt container into the water softener where it dissolves the lime in the water. The dissolved lime is pumped out of the dishwasher. The water softener system is then ready for the next load. This process of regeneration can only function when the salt is dissolved in water.

The container is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher.

You will need to remove the lower basket for access.

● You should fill just before starting the programme.

● Unscrew the lid of the salt container, turning it anti-clockwise to remove.

Before using the dishwasher for the first time, pour approximately 1 litre of water into the salt container.

● Use the supplied funnel to fill salt to the top of the container. As you tip in the salt some of the water is displaced and drains away.

When you have done this, clean off any remnants of salt from the area around the neck of the container. Always make sure that the cap is replaced securely ensuring that it is not cross-threaded.

Information:

Add salt when required as advised in the chart on the previous page.

Refill the salt container before starting the wash programme.

In this way the excess saline solution will be immediately washed away by the water, the prolonged presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion.

When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it is also necessary to add ONE litre of water to the container.

WARNING:

DO NOT pour detergent into the special

Salt Container. This will destroy the water softener.

Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that the cap is securely closed.

The mixture of water and detergent must never penetrate the salt container, as this would compromise the operation of the regeneration system. In the event of this occurring, the guarantee will be invalidated.

13

The detergent and rinse aid dispensers are situated on the inner part of the door: the detergent dispenser is on the left and the rinse aid dispenser is on the right.

FILLING THE RINSE AID CONTAINER...

The purpose of Rinse Aid is to help the dishes dry faster and to prevent formation of water marks on tableware and utensils, and to ensure that glasses are clean and sparkling.

Rinse Aid is consumed during the washing process and needs adding when required.

RINSE AID WARNING LIGHT (Model DF56)

Open the door. Rotate the rinse aid container cap anticlockwise by 1 /

4 of a turn and remove it.

Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140cc). The level indicator on the side should be completely obscured.

Refill the rinse aid when the optical level indicator becomes clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light illuminates

(Model DF56 only).

Replace the cap, turn clockwise and ensure it is securely closed.

Use a cloth to remove any spillage.

Important:

Only use rinse aids intended for use in domestic dishwasher's,

Adjusting the amount of Rinse Aid...

The amount of rinse aid added to the water can be varied by adjusting the control. The rinse aid control has been factory set for medium water hardness.

Do not alter the setting of the rinse aid control unless streaks or water marks are left on the dishes.

To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cap through a quarter turn in an anti-clockwise direction and remove it. Use a screwdriver to turn the rinse aid control to

14 the required position. Replace the cap securely turning clockwise.

RINSE AID CONTROL

● The amount of rinse aid needs to be increased if the appear dull or you can see circular stains.

● The amount of rinse aid needs to be reduced if the dishes are sticky or you can see whit streaks.

DETERGENTS...

Information about detergents:

You can use any brand of liquid or powder detergent, as well as tablets, that have specifically designed for use in domestic dishwasher's.

DO NOT use normal washing up liquid.

There are three types of dishwasher detergent available:

1. those containing phosphates and chlorine.

2. those containing phosphates but no chlorine.

3. those containing neither phosphates nor chlorine.

When a phosphate-free detergent is used in conjunction with hard water, there is a greater possibility that white marks will be left behind on crockery and glasses etc.

These can be avoided by pouring an increased amount of detergent into the dispenser.

Chlorine-free detergents have a reduced bleaching effect. This can mean that tea stains are not completely removed or that plastic items become discoloured.

This can be resolved by:

- selecting a higher temperature programme, or

- increasing the amount of detergent, or

- using a detergent that contains chlorine.

Check detergent packaging labels to determine whether a particular product is suitable for use with silverware.

Adding the detergent...

With the exception of the Prewash programme, you will need to add detergent before every washing cycle.

To open the detergent dispenser lid, lightly press button ‘P’. Add the detergent and close the lid carefully.

What can I Wash...

Items not suitable for the dishwasher:

● Cutlery and tableware made from wood or part wood-They become faded and unsightly in appearance.

● Avoid washing horn-handled and bronze cutlery in the machine.

● Delicate/decorative glassware and vases, special antique or irreplaceable china - the decorative patterns printed on these objects will not be dishwasher proof.

● Plastic objects that are not resistant to hot water.

● Copper and Pewter utensils.

● Aluminium and silver objects.

● Decorative patterns printed on the surface of crockery, glasses etc.

● Some types of glass can become opaque in appearance after they have been washed too many times in a dishwasher.

● Highly absorbent materials such as, sponges and towels should never be placed in a dishwasher.

If in any doubt, check with the manufacturer of the China, pan(s) and cutlery on their suitability for dishwasher's.

WARNING: Dishes or cutlery that have been soiled by tobacco ash, wax, lubricating grease or paint, should not be put in the dishwasher.

Our recommendation:

In future, only purchase table or kitchenware that has been confirmed as being dishwasher proof.

16

Loading your Dishwasher...

Your dishwasher is designed to take 12 standard place settings.

There is no one correct method for loading the dishwasher. The upper and lower baskets are designed to give the maximum flexibility possible to cope with the variety of cups, glasses, dishware, pots, pans and utensils - not to mention your oven fittings or teapot, which might be put into the dishwasher.

Loading

● First remove all coarse food remains which could block the filter or damage the wash pump.

● Arrange all items so that water can drain away, as you would on a draining board.

● Large or heavily soiled items should go in the lower basket. The lower basket plate rack can be folded down to accommodate larger items. The upper basket can be adjusted to allow for large items in the lower basket .

Smaller, delicate items (eg. glasses) should go in the top basket.

● Arrange plates so that they are not touching and water can flow freely between them.

● Tall, narrow receptacles should be placed in the centre of the baskets, directly over the spray.

● Long stemmed glasses should lean against the cup rack, not against dishware.

● Cutlery should be distributed at random in the cutlery basket with handles down (except if the handles are very thin and could drop through the basket).

● Long cutlery, such as ladles and knives should be laid horizontally across the filled cutlery basket.

● Pots and pans with baked on areas should first be soaked and then arranged, upside down in the lower basket, so that the water jets can have direct access to the dirty areas.

● After loading check that the upper spray arm is free to rotate by giving it a spin with your hand.

WARNING:

ALWAYS CHECK THAT PLASTIC AND

WOODEN ITEMS ARE SECURELY PLACED

AND ARE WEIGHTED DOWN WITH

HEAVIER OBJECTS SO THAT THEY CANNOT

BECOME DISLODGED.

TAKE EXTRA CARE WHEN LOADING AND

UNLOADING SHARP ITEMS SUCH AS

KNIVES.

LOADING the Upper Basket...

It is recommended to load the upper basket with small or medium sized items such as glasses, small plates, tea or coffee cups, shallow bowls and light objects made from heat resistant plastic. If the upper basket is used in the lowest position, it can also be loaded with serving dishes, provided they are only slightly soiled.

To make full use of the space available the top basket has two plastic grids that can be lifted to make room for tall glasses such as stem glasses.

Load the dishes with the top side facing forwards, cups and concave containers should always be loaded with the opening facing down. The left side of the basket can be loaded with cups and glasses on two levels. In the centre section, plates and saucers can be loaded vertically into the supports provided.

Upper Basket Loading Examples:

17

Loading your Dishwasher...

ADJUSTING THE UPPER BASKET...

The upper basket can be adjusted in two positions, according to your needs and to allow for the height of dishes in the lower basket.

CUTLERY BASKET...

The cutlery should be arranged in an orderly manner inside the cutlery basket - with handles pointing downwards.

Take care during loading to avoid injury from the knife blades.

The basket is suitable for all types of cutlery, except those long enough to interfere with the upper spray arm.

Ladles, wooden spoons and cooking knives can be placed in the upper basket, making sure that the knife blades do not protrude from the basket.

Pull out version:

● Pull the basket out fully.

● Remove the stop ‘E’ first releasing it as shown.

● Push the guide to free the wheels.

● Lift the basket and insert the lower pair of wheels into the guide, depending on the setting required.

● Return the stop ‘E’ to its original position.

LOADING the Lower Basket...

The lower basket receives the full force of the lower spray arm and should therefore be used for the ‘toughest’ items with a heavier degree of soiling.

All types and combinations of loads are permitted, provided that the dishes, pots and pans are arranged with all the soiled surfaces exposed to the water jets coming from the bottom.

Carefully load flat plates, soup dishes, dessert and serving dishes, positioning them vertically. Pots, pans and their covers must be loaded upside down.

When loading soup plates and dessert bowls be sure to leave a gap between them.

Lower Basket Loading Examples:

Care and Maintenance...

-

Before carrying out any work, always disconnect the dishwasher from the electrical power supply.

Regular inspection and maintenance helps to prevent problems from occurring. You should therefore carefully inspect the inside of your dishwasher from time to time.

-

Overall condition of appliance.

Clean the outer surfaces and door lining of the dishwasher regularly using a soft cloth moistened with water or with a detergent which is suitable for painted surfaces. Clean he door gaskets with a damp sponge.

Avoid the use of acidic or abrasive detergents.

Periodically (once or twice a year) it is advisable to clean the tank and gaskets, using a soft cloth and water to remove any deposits.

-

-

Check that no grease or scale has accumulated on the inside of the dishwasher.

If you discover any deposits:

Clean the interior of the dishwasher thoroughly with a detergent solution.

Cleaning the Filter Unit.

The filters prevent large particles of food in the water from reaching the pump. These

particles may occasionally block the filters.

It is advisable to periodically check the centre filter ‘C’ and if necessary to clean it. To remove the filter, grip the tabs, turn anticlockwise and lift upwards.

-

Separate the two parts which make up the plastic filter by pressing the body of the filter in the position shown by the arrows.

Remove the centre filter by lifting it upwards.

The filters should be cleaned carefully under

running water using a stiff brush.

Carefully replace the filters by following the above instructions in reverse order.

Cleaning the Water Intake Filter.

The water intake filter, located at the outlet of the water supply tap, needs to be cleaned periodically.

Turn OFF the water supply tap, unscrew the water intake hose to remove from the tap.

Clean the filter carefully, under running water.

Relocate the filter and carefully screw the water intake hose onto the tap.

Push the centre filter ‘D’ from the underside to remove it from the microfilter.

19

Care and Maintenance...

Spray arms.

The spray arms can be easily removed for

periodic cleaning of the nozzles, to prevent possible blockage.

To remove the upper spray arm, unscrew locking ring ‘R’.

To remove the lower spray arm, hold centrally and simply lift it up.

-

Clean both spray arms under running water.

Re-fit the spray arms. Check that spray arms turn freely.

20

Troubleshooting...

Caution

- Do not forget that repairs should only be carried out by a qualified specialist. Improper repairs can lead to considerable equipment damage as well as danger to the user.

- The dishwasher must first be disconnected from the electricity supply before any repairs or other work can be carried out. Switch off at the mains socket and water supply and remove the plug.

Resolving minor problems yourself.

Experience has shown that you can resolve most problems that arise during normal daily usage yourself, without having to call out a service engineer. Not only does this save costs, but it also means the appliance is available for use again that much sooner. The following list of common occurrences and their remedies should help you identify the causes of most problems.

Problems...

...When the appliance is switched on.

Appliance does not start:

Is the dishwasher plugged in at the electricity socket and switch on?

Is there a power failure, check other appliances.

Fault with fuse in mains electricity supply.

Appliance door not closed properly.

Water tap not turned on.

- Ensure fill hose is not kinked.

... If water remains inside the dishwasher, check:

● the drain hose is not kinked.

● the drain syphon is not obstructed.

● the dishwasher filters are not clogged.

...If the dishes are not being cleaned properly, check:

● the correct amount of detergent has been added.

● there is regenerating salt in the salt container.

● the dishes are being loaded correctly.

● the selected programme is suitable for the type of dishes and the degree of soiling.

● all filters are clean and positioned correctly.

● the spray arm nozzles are not obstructed.

● there is nothing obstructing the rotation of the spray arms.

...If the dishes fail to dry or remain full, check:

● there is rinse aid inside the rinse aid container.

● the rinse aid dispenser setting is correct.

● the detergent being used is of good quality and has not lost its effectiveness

(for example, through incorrect storage, with the box left open).

...If the dishes show signs of streaking, staining etc. check:

● the rinse aid dispenser setting is not too high.

...If there are visible traces of rust inside the tank, check:

● the tank is made of steel and therefore any rust marks are due to external elements (fragments of rust from the tank pipes, pots, cutlery etc.) Special products are commercially available to remove such marks.

● the amount of detergent being used is correct. Certain detergents can be more corrosive than others.

● the cap off the salt container is securely closed and that the water softening setting is correct.

If you have gone through the possibilities in the list above and the problem persists, contact your nearest Service office (see Back

Cover).

Switch off at the mains socket and remove the plug. Turn off the water supply.

Recycling & Disposal Information

As part of our continued commitment to helping the environment, we reserve the right to use quality recycled components to keep down customer costs and minimise material wastage.

Please dispose of packaging and old appliances carefully. To minimise risk of injury to children, remove the door, plug and cut mains cable off flush with the appliance.
