Setting the water softener
The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to
remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would
have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the
appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the harder
your water is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, Clarke
degrees, French degrees (°TH) and mmol/l (millimol per litre international unit for the hardness of water).
The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of
the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise
you on the hardness of the water in your area.
The water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using
the water hardness dial and electronically, using the function
push buttons on the control panel.
2. Press simultaneously function buttons 2 and 3, until the
indicator lights of the function buttons 1, 2 and 3 start
flashing.

Filling with dishwasher salt
Only use salt specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in
a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water
softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete
washing programmes.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which
may have been spilt, remaining on the bottom of the
machine for any period of time, which may cause
corrosion.
To fill:
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the
cap of the salt container by turning it anticlockwise.
2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary
only before filling with salt for the first time).
3. Using the funnel provided,
pour in the salt until the
container is full.

4. Replace the cap making
sure that there is no trace
of salt on the screw
thread or on the gasket.
5. Replace on the cap tightly
turning it clockwise until it
stops with a click.
SR14
The salt container will require topping up periodically. You are
reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the control panel
which comes on when the salt has finished.
The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain
illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been
replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched
on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then
this can take longer. The function of the machine is not
affected.
Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with
salt, this is quite normal.

Rinse aid
●
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring
thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.
The dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about
110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing
programmes, depending upon the dosage setting.
If you are using dishwasher detergent that includes the
rinse aid function, it is necessary to deactivate the rinse aid
dispenser, in order to avoid a double dosage.
Deactivation/activation of the rinse aid

wash.
3. Press the function button 2, the indicator lights of function
buttons 1 and 3 turn off while the indicator light of the
function button 2 goes on flashing, the digital display
indicates the current setting.
Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the
rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g.
dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would
damage the appliance.
Rinse aid dispenser deactivated
Rinse aid dispenser activated (factory setting)
Adjusting the dose
According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the
dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (position
1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage).
4. To change the setting, press the function button 2 again, the
digital display indicates the new setting.
The dose is factory set in
position 4.
5. To memorise the operation, switch off the dishwasher by
pressing the On/Off button or wait about 60 seconds after
which the dishwasher will automatically return to setting
mode.

Loading cutlery and dishes
Sponges, household cloths and any object that can
absorb water may not be washed in the dishwasher.
●
Before loading the dishes, you should:
- Remove large left-overs.
- Soften remnants of burnt food in pans
●
When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:
- Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the
spray arms .
- Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with
the opening downwards so that water cannot collect in the
container or a deep base.
- Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one
another, or cover each other.
- To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
- Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.
●
Plastic items and pans with teflon have a tendency to
retain water drops; these items will not dry as well as
porcelain and steel items.
For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes
are of limited suitability:
are not suitable:
- Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or
mother-of-pearl handles
- Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically
marked as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.
- Plastic items that are not heat resistant
- Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently
- Older cutlery with glued parts that is not
temperature resistant
- Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour
during washing. Residues, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and
mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver.
Therefore always clean left-overs from silver immediately, if
it is not to be washed straight after use.
- Bonded cutlery items or dishes
- Pewter or copper items
- Lead crystal glass
- Some types of glass can become dull after a large number
of washes
- Steel items subject to rusting
- Wooden platters
- Items made from synthetic fibres
The two rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily
lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls.
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates,
salad bowls, cutlery etc.

The cutlery basket
The upper basket
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a
potential hazard.
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives
must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.
Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as
knives.
The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates,
saucers, dinner plates of up to 24 cm in diameter), salad
bowls, cups and glasses.
Arrange items on and
underneath the cup racks so
that water can reach all
surfaces.
Glasses with long stems can
be placed upside down in the
cup racks.
For taller items, the cup racks
can be folded upwards.
US47
Light items (plastic bowls
etc.) must be loaded in the
upper basket and arranged
so they do not move.
Removable knife basket
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must
be placed horizontally in the removable knife basket, which is
positioned at the rear of the upper basket.
UI53
Forks and spoons should be placed in the removable cutlery
basket with the handles facing downwards and the knives with
their handles facing upwards.
If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket,
obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the
handles facing upwards.
US73
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking
together.
In case that plates are loaded in the upper
basket:
For best results we
recommend you to use the
cutlery grid provided (if the
size and dimensions of the
cutlery allow it).
load them starting from the
rear positions of the
basket; tilting them slightly
forwards and avoiding the
front positions near the
door.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket
Use of detergent
If washing very large plates you can load them in the lower
basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position.
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
Using no more then the correct amount of detergent
contributes to reducing pollution.

3. All programmes with prewash need an additional detergent
dose (5/10 g) that must be placed in the prewash detergent
chamber (3). This detergent will take effect during the
prewash phase.
After loading your machine always close the door, as an
open door can be a hazard.
4. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.
11
Different kinds of detergent
Detergent tablets
Use of "3 in 1" combi detergents
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different
speeds. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot
dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short
programmes. Therefore please use long programmes when
using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of
detergent residuals.
Do not place the tablets in the tub or in the cutlery basket
as this will result in poorer wash results. The tablets
should be placed in the detergent dispenser.
General advice
These products are detergents with integrated and combined
detergent/rinse-aid and salt functions.
1. Before using these products you should first check that
the water hardness in your supply is compatible with
the use of these products as per the detergent
manufacturers (on the product packaging).
2. These products should be strictly used according to the
detergent manufacturers instructions.
3. If you encounter problems when using 3 in 1 products for
the first time then please contact the detergent
manufacturers care line (the telephone number is given on
the product packaging).
Concentrated detergent
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents
can be split into two basic types:
- conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components.
- low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.
The use of 50°C washing programmes in conjunction with
concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your
dishes; these wash programmes are specially matched to the
dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes in the concentrated
detergent. For this reason 50°C wash programmes in which
concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same
results that can otherwise only be achieved using 65°C
programmes.
Special advice
When using combination 3 in 1 products, select the 3 in 1
function.
If you decide to turn back to the use of the standard detergent
system we advise that you:
Combi detergents
If you are using dishwasher detergent that includes the rinse
aid function, this must be placed in the detergent compartment.
In this case it is necessary to deactivate the rinse aid
dispenser, in order to avoid a double dosage.
12
●
Refill both the salt container and rinse aid dispenser.
●
Switch the water hardness setting to the highest possible
position and run from 1 to 3 normal washing programmes
without a load.
●
Readjust the water hardness setting again according to the
hardness of the water in your area.

(1) Testing programme for EN 50242 (see "Hints for Test Centres"). This programme, developed for the use of detergents with
enzymes, allows you to achieve, with reduced consumption of energy the same cleaning results that would otherwise be
obtained only with the 65°C programmes and conventional detergents. To compensate the lower temperature, the duration of
washing and drying have been extended.
(2) Ideal for washing crockery and cutlery of breakfast and dinner (fresh soil).
Characterised by a short duration.
This is the perfect daily programme, made to meet the needs of a family of 4 persons who only wish to load breakfast and
dinner crockery and cutlery.
(3) The consumption values are intended as a guide and depends on the pressure and the temperature of the water and also by
the variations of the power supply.
The programme duration is visible in the display when the setting of the programme occurs.
With programmes Intensive 70°C and Automatic, the last hot rinse is prolonged for 10/11 minutes at 65°C in order to thoroughly
disinfect dishes and glasses, such jam jars.
"Automatic" washing programme
During the "Automatic" washing programme the amount of soil on the dishes is determined by how cloudy the water is.
If the appliance is partially loaded and the dishes lightly soiled, the "prewash", "main wash", and "rinse" phases of the programme
are shorter and the water consumption level is lower.
If the appliance is fully loaded and the dishes heavily soiled, the "prewash", "main wash", and "rinse" phases of the programme are
longer and the water consumption level is higher.
During the "Automatic" programme the temperature of the main wash water is also automatically adjusted between 50°C and 65°C
depending on the amount of soil on the dishes.

After about 2 seconds all the indicator lights will turn off
(except for the On/Off indicator light and eventually the
rinse aid and salt indicator lights) indicating that the
running programme has been cancelled.
If a new washing programme will be selected, check that
there is detergent in the detergent dispenser.
Setting and starting the programme with the
delay start
7. To cancel a "delay start"
The setting of the delay start occurs before selecting
the programme
To cancel a delay start you have to reset the dishwasher;
follow the same instructions given in "To cancel a washing
programme". Cancelling a delay start involves also the
cancelling of the washing programme.
In this case you have to set the washing programme
again.
Press the delay start button until the flashing number of
the hours for the delay start will appear in the digital
display (from 1h to 19h).
Select a washing programme. In the digital display will
appear, for a moment, the running time of the programme
and then again appears the selected delay start time.
As soon as the number of hours is displayed without
flashing, the countdown for the delay start is active.
The countdown will decrease with steps of 1 hour.
The opening of the door during the countdown will not
modify the delay start.
Once the delay start has elapsed the programme will
start automatically.
8. End of the washing programme
The dishwasher will automatically stop.
The Programme time indicator light turns off.
In the digital display appears 0 (remaining programme
time), only in this case the programme has ended.
If the door is not immediately opened at the end of the
programme, air will circulate inside the dishwasher to
prevent residual steam recondensing on the dishes as
water droplets.
This device operates intermittently for about 20
minutes, as long as the dishwasher is switched on.
If the On/Off button is pressed or the door is opened
during these 20 minutes, the device will be automatically
cancelled.
Note: With the delay start set, the Programme time
indicator light turns off. Once the countdown of the delay
start has elapsed, the washing programme will start
automatically and the Programme time indicator light will
illuminate.
Note: it is possible to select a washing programme and
the delay start also with the door slightly opened.
In this case the start of the programme or of the countdown
for the delay start will start automatically after the closure of
the door. Until this moment it is possible to change or
modify the setting made.
Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off button.
Open the door and wait a few minutes before removing
the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying
will be improved.
14
9. Unloading the dishwasher
Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should
therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from
the appliance.
Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this
will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the
dishes in the lower one.
Water may appear on the sides and the door of the
dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become
cooler than the dishes.
When the washing programme has finished, it is
recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the
water tap turned off.
"3 in 1" function
This function can be selected together with all programmes .
Place the "3 in 1" combi detergent tablet in the detergent
dispenser.
Close the dishwasher’s door and press the "On/Off" button, the
On/Off indicator light illuminates.
Press the "3 in 1" function button, the correspondent indicator
light illuminates. Remember that if this function is selected, it
will remain active also for the following programmes, until it will
be deactivated by pressing the "3 in 1" function button
(indicator light off).
Select the required washing programme, after about 3 seconds
the programme will start automatically.
With the use of 3 in 1 combi detergent tablets, the cycle
durations may change. In this case, in the digital display, the
indication of the running time of the programme is
automatically updated.
Once the programme is running, the "3 in 1" function can NO
longer be changed. If you want to exclude the "3 in 1" function
you have to cancel the programme setting (see "To cancel a
washing programme in progress") and then deactivate the "3
in 1" function by pressing the "3 in 1" button.
In this case you have to set a washing programme again.

Maintenance and cleaning
Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel
with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral
detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or
solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....).
Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse
aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.
We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash
programme without dishes using detergent.
Attention!
Cleaning the filters
If residues of soil have
clogged the holes in the
upper spray arm, remove
them with a toothpick.
Under no circumstances may the dishwasher be used without
filters.
Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce
poor washing results.
NEVER try to remove the
upper spray arm.
The filters must be checked and cleaned from time to time.
Dirty filters will degrade the washing result.
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket.
2. The dishwasher filter system comprises a coarse filter (A),
a microfilter (B) and a flat filter (C).
Unlock the filter system using the handle on the microfilter,
and remove.
MA40
Prolonged periods of non-operation
If you are not using the machine for any period of time you are
advised to:
1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water.
2. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any
unpleasant smells.
3. Leave the inside of the machine clean.
Frost precautions
Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature
is below 0°C. If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close
the appliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty
it.
3. Turn the handle about 1/4 a turn anticlockwise and remove.
Moving the machine
If you have to move the machine (moving house etc....):
1. Unplug it.
2. Turn the water tap off.
3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.
4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses.
Avoid over tilting the machine during transportation.
MA36
4. Take hold of the coarse filter (A) by the handle with
the hole and remove from the microfilter (B).
5. Clean all filters thoroughly under running water.
6. Remove the flat filter (C) from the base of the washing
compartment and clean both faces thoroughly.
7. Put the flat filter (C) back in the base of the washing
compartment.
8. Place the coarse filter (A) in the microfilter (B) and press
together.
9. Put the filter combination in place and lock by turning the
handle clockwise to the stop. During this process ensure
that the flat filter does not protrude above the base of the
washing compartment.

Installation instructions
Any electrical and/or plumbing work required to install
this appliance should be carried out by a qualified
electrician and/or plumber or competent person.
Water supply connections
This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 60°) or cold
water. Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply.
A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled
crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a lot.
Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.
If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a
drain.
For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the
machine’s supply hose is designed to screw onto either a 3/4"
inch gas thread spout or to a purpose made quick-coupling tap
such as the Press-block.
Fitting under a counter
The water pressure must be within the limits given in the
"Technical specifications". Your local Water Authority will
advise you on the average mains pressure in your area.
(kitchen worktop or sink)
By removing the machine’s worktop, you can install it under a
close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, providing the
dimensions of the recess correspond to those shown in the
picture.
The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be
turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation by
means of the locknut. The locknut must be correctly fitted
to avoid water leaks. (Attention! NOT all models of
dishwashers have fill and drain hoses provided with locknut. In
this case, this kind of facility is not possible).
- 600

The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled
when it is being connected up.
If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have
not been used for a long time, you should run the water for a
few minutes before connecting the inlet hose.
600
Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been
used in another appliance.
IN05
The dishwasher is fitted with safety devices that prevent the
wash water returning into the drinking water system and
comply with the applicable plumbing regulations.
Proceed as follows:
Remove the machine’s worktop by unscrewing the two rear
retaining screws, pull the worktop from the back of the
machine and slide out the front slots, lifting the worktop.
Insert the machine after adjusting height and levelling with the
adjustable feet. When inserting the machine, ensure that the
water inlet and drain hoses are not kinked or squashed.
During all operations that involve accessibility to internal
components the dishwasher has to be unplugged.
Be sure that once the appliance has been installed, it is easily
accessible for the consumer service department.
If the dishwasher is later used as a free-standing appliance,
the original worktop must be re-mounted.
The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable.
Levelling
Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of
the door.
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch
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.

Water outlet hose connection
Electrical connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following
ways:
This appliance must be earthed.
The manufacturer declines any responsibility should this
safety measure not be observed.
1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to the underside of the
work surface. This will prevent waste water from the sink
running into the machine.
If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for the
socket, it must be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted.
2. Hooked over the edge of the sink using the special curved
plastic guide (if provided with the machine).
Important
The wires on the mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
3. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal
diameter 4 cm.
The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm
(minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the
dishwasher.
Green and Yellow
- Earth
Blue
- Neutral
Brown
- Live
If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the mains
lead of your appliance may not correspond with the markings
identifying the terminals in your plug.
The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the
dishwasher
Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed as this could prevent
or slow down the discharge of water.
Proceed as follows:
1. Connect the Green and Yellow (earth) wire to the terminal
in the plug which is marked with the letter "E" or the earth
symbol
or coloured green and yellow.
The sink plug must not be in place when the machine is
draining as this could cause the water to syphon back into the
machine.
2. Connect the Blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug
which is marked with the letter "N" or coloured black.
If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer than 2
metres and its internal diameter must be no smaller than the
diameter of the hose provided.
3. Connect the Brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug
which is marked with the letter "L" or coloured red.

Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for
connections to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the
diameter of the hose provided.
CE04
Attention!
Our appliances are supplied with a security device to protect
against the return of dirty water back into the machine.
If the spigot of your sink has a "no return valve" incorporated
this can prevent the correct draining of your dishwasher.
We advise you therefore to remove it.
The plug moulded onto the lead incorporates a 13amp BSI362
fuse. Only ASTA or BSI fuses should be used.
The plug must not be used if the fuse cover/carrier is lost. The
cover/carrier is indicated by the coloured insert at the base of
the plug.
A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from your local
Service Force centre. Please contact our extended warranty
administrators on 0870 0107887 who will give you details for
your local Service Force centre.
To isolate the dishwasher from mains, remove the mains plug.
Important!
The plug must still be accessible after the appliance
has been installed.
The appliance should not be connected to the
electrical supply by means of an extension cable.
In case that the electrical cable has to be replaced,
please contact our extended warranty
administrators on 0870 0107887 who will give you
details for your local Service Force centre.
