Too much conditioner may result in streakiness, too little may cause white spots. The dispenser holds about 140 ml. This is enough for 40-70 wash cycles, depending on the dosage setting. When the rinse conditioner level is approaching the bottom of the scale it is time to refill the dispenser. Swivel out the filler trough and carefully fill up with rinse conditioner until the level reaches the red mark on the level indicator tube. Do not overfill, and carefully wipe off any spillage to prevent sudsing problems. Don't forget the close the filler trough afterwards. Adjust the dosage setting according to the hardness of the water. Begin with the lowest dosage setting and increase as necessary by turning the arrow clockwise. The purpose of the coarse filter is to catch large objects, such as toothpicks and pieces of eggshell. Make sure that the filter is always clean. Lift it out and rinse it under running water whenever necessary. Do not fill the rinse aid dispenser with liquid detergent. Fine filter 4 It is just as important to keep this filter clean. A dirty or clogged filter will impair washing efficiency. The fine filter can easily be lifted out for cleaning when you have removed the coarse filter. Detergent dispenser 5 Only use detergents specially designed for dishwashers. For a normal load pour about 1-2 tablespoons of detergent into the detergent dispenser. Spray arm 2 It is important to keep all the holes in the spray arm clear. If the spray arm becomes blocked this will affect washing efficiency. If the spray arm needs cleaning, unscrew the nut clockwise (left-hand thread) and lift off the spray arm. Clear the holes and shake out any food particles. -4- The control panel 1 1 2 3 2 On/Off button Door lock Press the button in order to start the programme. Press the handle down and open the door. Avoid opening the door while the machine is running. If the door is opened and is put standing ajar after a completed programme the dishes will dry faster. Programme knob Turn the selector knob clockwise to the programme start. During the water heating process, the timer is standing still. To isolate the dishwasher from the mains completely, unplug it from the wall socket. Dish phase Rinse phase 3 Indicator lamp While the programme is in progress, the operating lamp is lit and it goes out when the programme is ready. All figures are nominal and vary for example due to temperature variations on the inlet water. The figures apply to washing up 5 place settings (According to test standard EN 50242). -5- How to load the dishwasher The illustration shows the machine loaded with five standard 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. ● 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. Make sure that the water can 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. Always buy articles that are machine washable in future. ● Aluminium becomes dull and tarnished when machine washed. The machine gets it clean, but at the expense of its appearance. ● Not all plastic articles are machine washable. If you are in doubt as to whether your plasticware can be washed in the machine, we suggest you check by washing a single item or else wash them by hand. ● Substances such as ketchup containing strong colouring agents can cause temporary discolouration in the machine. Rack and basket ● Cutlery ● Dish basket rack -6- Using your appliance 1 2 3 4 5 6 Proceed as follows: 1. Scrape off solid food remnants. 2. Load the dishwasher.

Check that the dishwasher is undamaged. If you discover any damage, faults or that anything is missing, you should notify the seller 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: ● ● ● ● Discharge hose (1) Elbow for discharge hose (2) Hose clip for discharge hose (3) Washer/filter for inlet hose (4) 1 2 Protecting the machine against freezing 3 4 If the machine is kept in a place where the temperature may sometimes fall below 0°C, there is a risk that the small amount of water which remains inside parts of the machine after normal use will freeze and damage it. To prevent this you should: 1. Turn off the water supply to the machine and disconnect the water intake hose from the supply pipe. 2. Select a wash programme, start the machine and let the programme run for a short time. Building-in If you want to build the dishwasher into your kitchen furniture, it is important to use our approved build-in kit. This comes with the correct instructions needed to observe all the relevant regulations. You can obtain the build-in kit from the same place where you bought the dishwasher. Identification of materials All materials used in packaging this machine are environmentally-friendly. The various plastics used are identified and can be recycled: • PE stands for polyethylene, which is used for the bag around the machine and the bag in which these instructions were supplied. • PS stands for polystyrene (moulded), which is used for the sections of packaging needed to cushion the machine. The cardboard components of the packaging are made from recyclable paper and should be taken to a collection point for recycling. The machine contains plastic and rubber components. These have identifying marks to show what they are made from, so they can be recycled or disposed of properly at the end of the machine's life. The materials are identified according to international standards. - 10 - Installation Positioning In its standard version the machine is intended for installation on a kitchen sink or worktop. To function properly the machine must be fully level. Its height can be adjusted with the adjustable feet (8 mm each). Water inlet The temperature of the water supply should not exceed 65°C and the pressure should be between 50 - 1000 kPa (0.5 - 10 bar). It is important to have a tap or stopcock, positioned close to the machine and with easy access. Special mixer taps with dishwasher connections are available, as well as adaptors for older mixer taps. Insert the combination rubber washer/filter and connect the inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4" pipe thread. The inlet hose (1) 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 machine end of this hose can be turned in any direction. Loosen the retaining nut, turn the hose, then retighten the nut. Discharge connection Connect the discharge hose to the pipe stub at the rear of the dishwasher, using the hose clip supplied. It is important to push the discharge hose (2) onto the pipe stub as far as it will go and tighten the hose clip (3) as hard as possible. Place the other end of the discharge hose over the sink as illustrated. Don’t forget that the water will come out with some force, so position the pipe so that the force of the water will not push the hose out of the sink, use the elbow supplied which should be fitted over the pipe to support it. Ensure the sink outlet is not blocked. The discharge hose must not at any point rise higher than the top of the dishwasher. 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. Power supply The dishwasher is supplied with a lead and electrical plug for connection to a 220/230 V, 10 A earthed wall socket. Before any work is carried out on the machine, 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 authorised electrician. - 11 - 2 1 3
