Work performed by persons with inadequate knowledge may adversely affect the satisfactory functioning of the product and may cause personal injury or damage. Before any work is carried out on the dishwasher, it must be isolated from the electrical supply, by unplugging the power cord or removing the fuse. Water connection shall be made via an easily accessible stopcock. Do not place sharp knives with their points upwards. It is much safer to lay them horizontally in the basket. ● Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always closed when it is not being loaded or unloaded. In this way you will avoid anybody tripping over the open door and hurting themselves. ● If you take any dishes out of the dishwasher before the end of the dishwashing cycle, it is extremely important to rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove any remaining detergent. ● The water safety system protects against water damages. The following requirements must be fulfilled: The power cord must be plugged into an earthed socket, which need to be easily accessible. Permanent installation must only be carried out by an authorized electrician. ● If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent. ● Make sure that the power cord is not nipped or otherwise damaged and that the hoses do not get crushed or kinked when moving the dishwasher in connection with installation or cleaning etc. ● Servicing and possible repairs must be carried out by a service company authorized by the manufacturer. Use only spare parts supplied by these. Never try to repair the dishwasher yourself. - The dishwasher must be electrically connected when it is shut off. - The dishwasher must be correctly installed. - Always shut off the water supply whenever the dishwasher is left unattended for an extended period. ● Child Safety ● The dishwasher should be used by adults only. Do not let children play with the controls or other parts of it. ● Remember that the plastic bags included in the packaging can be fatal playthings for small children. ● Keep all detergents in safe place out of children´s reach. ● Prevent children from sitting, swinging or standing on the open door. During Use ● This dishwasher is designed solely for washing household utensils suitable for machine washing. Using it for other purposes could lead to physical injury or damage to property and invalidate the guarantee. ● Avoid opening the door while the dishwasher is running, since hot steam may escape. ● ● Only use detergent specifically designed for use in dishwashers. -3 In the event of flooding or leakage, shut off the water supply immediately by closing the stopcock and disconnect the power supply by unplugging the power cord or removing the fuse. When removing the electrical plug, grip the plug, not the lead. Disposal - packaging: All materials used in packaging this appliance are environmentally-friendly.

Make quite sure that children will not be able to play with it. 822 61 10-87 - Description of the appliance 4 5 -4- Description of the appliance Spray arm (1) It is important to keep all the holes in the spray arm clear. A clogged hole can seriously affect washing efficiency. If the spray arm needs cleaning, unscrew the nut anticlockwise, remove the washer and lift off the spray arm. Clear the holes and shake out any food remnants. Coarse strainer/microfilter (2) The purpose of the coarse strainer is to catch large objects such as toothpicks and pieces of eggshell. Make sure that the strainer is always clean. Turn the coarse strainer anti-clockwise. Lift it out and rinse it under running water whenever necessary. Do not fill the rinse aid dispenser with liquid detergent. Water softener (6) This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener for hard water, therefore shall the rinse aid dispenser be set for a low dosage. The lime in hard water causes white deposits to occur on dishes and to the interior of the dishwasher. To prevent this, the water has to pass through a special container where the hardness is removed. Since the water softener uses coarse dishwasher salt, you will have to refill the salt container after a certain number of dishwashing cycles. It is extremely important, that the salt container is filled up with the coarse dishwasher salt before using the dishwasher for the first time, if you live in an area where the water is calciferous. Fine filter (3) It is just as important to keep this filter clean. A dirty or clogged filter will always impair washing efficiency. The fine filter can easily be lifted out for cleaning when you have removed the coarse strainer. The indicator light on the control panel is lit when the container requires refilling. Detergent dispenser (4) 1. Unscrew the filler cap to the salt container anticlockwise. Open the lid to the dispenser by pressing the lid catch towards the compartment. Consult the instructions on the detergent packet, fill the compartment accordingly and close the lid. Remember that the instructions usually refer to full-size dishwashers, for example when using detergent tablets, it is sufficient to use just half a tablet. Pre-wash detergent is poured into the smaller compartment to the left when needed. This detergent is active allready at prerinsing. Make sure that there is no items that prevents the lid from opening. Only use detergents specially designed for dishwashers. Rinse aid dispenser (5) Use of rinse aid will result in cleaner and faster drying of the load, since it helps water and soil to run off. Too much rinse aid may result in streakiness, too little may cause white spots. The dispenser holds about 150 ml. This is enough for approx. 60 wash cycles, depending on the dosage setting. Adjust the dosage setting according to the hardness of the water. You can set the dosage between 1 - 6, equivalent to 1 - 6 ml rinse aid. Factory setting is 1. Begin at the lowest dosage setting and increase if necessary by turning the setting arrow with e.g. the handle of a spoon. 2. Fill the salt container with water (only the first time). 3. Fill the container with coarse salt, using the funnel supplied. 4. Remove the funnel and wipe off any spillage around the filler opening. 5. Screw the filler cap back properly in place. The water softener is now ready for the first load of dishes. Always make sure that there is coarse grained salt in the container, which holds about 1 litre. How to adjust the water softener, see chapter ”Adjusting the water softener”. Use only special salt for dishwashing machines, ordinary domestic salt can damage the water softener. Cleaning the dishwasher Clean the outside surfaces of the appliance using a mild (non-abrasive) household cleaning product. Finish by removing remaining traces of the product with a damp cloth. The indicator light on the control panel is lit when the dispenser requires refilling. 1. Open the lid to the dispenser by pressing the lid catch towards the compartment and lift the lid. 2. Fill up with rinse aid; do not overfill. 3. Wipe off any spillage carefully to prevent excessive foaming during the next wash programme. 4. Close the lid and press until it locks again. -5- Do not use cleaning products which contain alcohol (spirits), thinners and similar substances.

This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener, where tapwater which is harder then 4 °d (german degree) is descaled with special salt. Contact your local Water Authority to find the exact water hardness level for your area. The water softener has 5 settings: Adjust the water softener according to the table below for the water hardness level for your area. Water hardness level °d 1) mmol/l 2) Setting on the water softener Number of light flashes > 24 > 4,2 5 5 18 - 24 3,2 - 4,2 4 4 12 - 18 2,1 - 3,2 3* 3 4 - 12 0,7 - 2,1 2 2 below 4 below 0,7 1 no salt is needed 1 In the following settings the dishwasher must be switched off and all programmes completed.

Close the door and the programme continues after about six seconds. Open the door carefully when the dishwasher is running, since hot steam may escape. Cancelling the programme 1. Press and hold in the combination buttons until the indicator light for the programme goes out. 2. Release the buttons. The programme is now cancelled and a new programme can be selected. If you switch the dishwasher off, the selected programme is not finished, it is only disrupted. When you start the dishwasher again, the programme will continue. -9- Be careful if you open the door immediately after the programme is finished, since hot steam may escape. This dishwasher has a new feature called ”IMPULSE WASHING”. This washing system varies both the revolutions of the pump and the water pressure for more intensive cleaning of the dishes during a programme. That is why different sections of the programme cycle do not sounds the same. Loadind and unloading the dishwasher How to load the dishes Baskets The illustration shows the dishwasher loaded with six place settings. Your own dishes are not likely to be identical to this load, but if you follow the advice below we are sure you will be pleased with the results. Main basket Cutlery basket The cup shelves can be placed in two different levels. ● Always place glasses, cups and bowls upside down. ● Incline deep dishes (soup plates etc.) so that the water can run off when drying. ● Make sure that the dishes do not rest against each other. This is particularly important in regard to the cutlery basket - nested spoons, etc. simply cannot be properly washed. The water must get at all the soiled surfaces. ● Make sure that cutlery with slender handles and other items do not protrude through the openings in the basket and prevent the spray arm from rotating. ● Never put silver and stainless steel objects together. When these metals come into contact with each other a chemical reaction occurs which stains the silver. ● China with a pattern applied on top of the glaze may not be suitable for machine washing as the colours may fade and lose their lustre. The same applies to cutlery with wooden or plastic handles. Make sure you always buy articles that are dishwasher safe. ● Silver and aluminum items tend to be discolour when washed. Food remnants from egg and mustard often causes discolourations and stains on silver. Make sure to rinse off and remove food remnants on silver if it is not washed immediately after it has been used. ● Not all plastic articles are machine washable. If you are in doubt as to whether your plasticware can be machine washed, we suggest you check by washing a single item or else wash them by hand. ● When washing delicate items, select the programme with the lower wash temperature. ● Substances such as ketchup containing strong colouring agents can cause temporary discolouration to the interior of the dishwasher. Do not place sharp knives with their points upwards. It is much safer to lay them horizontally in the main basket. Unloading Hot dishes are sensitive to mechanical shocks. Always let the dishes cool down before unloading. The dishes dry faster if the door for a short moment is opened completely when the dishprogramme is finished and then left ajar. - 10 - In the event of a fault Before calling out an engineer, please check through the details below because some faults can be rectified easily without the need to call out an engineer.

Check that the dishwasher is undamaged. If you discover any damage, faults or that anything is missing, you should notify the dealer immediately. Never leave packaging material in a place where children may play with it. Check that the following accessories are supplied with the dishwasher when you unpack it: – A funnel for filling salt (1) – Elbow for discharge hose (2) Use This dishwasher is designed solely for washing household utensils suitable for washing in a dishwasher. Using it for other purposes may damage it and invalidate the guarantee. Positioning The dishwasher is intended to be installed on a kitchen sink, worktop or built-in. To function properly, make sure that the appliance is level. Its height can be adjusted with the adjustable feets (5 mm each). See the illustration for built-in measurements. Protecting the dishwasher against freezing If the dishwasher is placed in an environment where the temperature sometimes fall below 0° C, there is a risk that the small amount of water which remains inside the parts of the dishwasher will freeze and damage it. To prevent this you should: 1. Turn off the water supply to the dishwasher. 2. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses. 3. Make sure that there is coarse-grained salt in the salt container for the water softener. The appliance is only to be used and stored indoors at normal room temperature. The manufacture is not responsible for any frost damage. - 14 - 1 2 Installation Water inlet The dishwasher is equipped with safety features which are to prevent the water from going back to the fresh water system. These features are according to current water technical safety regulations. The temperature of the water supply should not exceed 65° C and the pressure should be between 80-1000 kPa (0,8 - 10 bar). It is important to have a tap or stopcock, positioned close to the dishwasher and with easy access. Special mixer taps with dishwasher connections are available, as well as adaptors for older mixer taps. Connect the inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4" pipe thread. The inlet hose must not be joined onto any form of extension hose. If it is too short, the entire hose must be replaced with a longer high-pressure hose, specially designed for the purpose. The end of the hose, which is connected to the dishwasher can be turned in any direction. Loosen the retaining nut, turn the hose, then retighten the nut. Check that the nut is tight before the machine is moved into position. Use only the inlet hose supplied to the dishwasher, do not reuse the old inlet hose. Water drainage To protect the dishwasher against water damage it is equipped with a water safety system. In the event of a fault the drain-pump starts automatically and the remaining water inside the dishwasher is pumped out. The water safety system also works when the dishwasher is switched off. However the dishwasher must be connected electrically. Place the discharge hose over the sink as illustrated. It must not at any point be higher up than 75 cm over the surface which the dishwasher is standing on. If it runs higher, operation of the dishwasher might be impaired. It is also important to ensure that the inside diameter of the hose is not less than 13 mm at any point. If the discharge hose is too long, it can easily be cut to the right length. 1. Cut the hose to a suitable length, using a sharp knife. 2. Fit the elbow supplied onto the end of the hose. Electrical connection The dishwasher is supplied with a lead and electrical plug for connection to a 230 V earthed wall socket, which should be easily accessible and protected by a 10 A fuse. Before any work is carried out on the dishwasher, it must be isolated from the electric mains supply, for example by removing the plug from the wall socket. Permanent electrical installation must be carried out by an authorized electrician or competent person. - 15 -
