To save water and energy and help protect
the environment, we recommend that you
follow these hints:
• Ensure that the water softener is correctly
adjusted.
• Do not prewash under running water.
• Select the washing programme to suit the
nature and degree of the soil on the
dishes.
• Do not use more detergent, dishwasher
salt and rinse aid than is recommended in
these operating instructions and by the
manufacturer of the respective product.
• Delay start: When possible set your
appliance to run over night, to enable, for
example, the use of economical overnight
electricity tariffs.
• 45° - 70° Auto Programme: This
appliance is fitted with a turbidity sensor
which intelligently adjusts the temperature
and rinsing phases during the washing
programme, depending on the degree of
soil on the dishes. This helps to reduce
energy and water consumption on lightly
soiled loads.

1) The display shows the programme duration.
The consumption values are intended
as a guide. They depend on the
pressure and the temperature of the
water, on the variations of the power
supply and on the quantity of dishes.
When the appliance is first
installed
Before using the appliance for the first time:
• Ensure that the electrical and water
connections comply with the installation
instructions
• Remove all packaging from inside the
appliance.
• Check if the factory set of the water
softener complies with the water
hardness in your area. If not, adjust the
level of the water softener.
• Pour 1 litre of water into the salt
container and then fill with dishwasher
salt.
• Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
If you want to use combi detergent
tablets (e.g. 3 in 1, 4 in 1, 5 in 1) set
the Multi tab function. Refer to 'Multi
tab function'.
The water softener
The appliance 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).
10
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.

Filling with salt
Caution! Only use salt specifically
designed for dishwasher use. All
other types of salt, 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, to remain on the
bottom of the appliance for any
period of time and cause corrosion.
Do not worry if water overflows
from the unit when filling with salt,
this is quite normal.

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 non stick
coatings have a tendency to retain water
drops. These items will not dry as well as
porcelain and steel items.
• Light items (e.g. plastic bowls) must be
loaded in the upper basket and arranged
so they do not move.
• Check if it's necessary to refill with
dishwasher salt or rinse aid.
• Open the door, slide out the baskets and
load cutlery and dishes.
• Fill the detergent dispenser with
detergent.
• Select a washing programme suitable for
the degree of soil and the type of load.
• Start the washing programme.
Loading cutlery and
dishes
Sponges, household cloths and any object
that can absorb water must not be washed
in the appliance.
• Remove all left over food and debris from
dishes.
• Soften remnants of burnt food in pans.
13
For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes
are not suitable:
are of limited suitability:
• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or motherof-pearls handles.
• Plastic items that are not heat resistant.
• Older cutlery with glued parts that are not
temperature resistant.
• Bonded cutlery items or dishes.
• Pewter or copper items.
• Lead crystal glass.
• Steel items prone to rusting.
• Wooden platters.
• Items made from synthetic fibres.
• Only wash stoneware if it is specially marked
as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.
• Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed
frequently.
• Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to
discolour during washing: Residue, 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.
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take pots,
pans, lids, dishes, salad bowls and cutlery.

programme starts automatically.
When the washing programme is
completed, the display shows a zero and the
indicator of the ended programme remains
on.
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Open the appliance door.
Warning! Interrupt or cancel a
washing programme in progress only
if it’s absolutely necessary. Hot steam
may escape when the appliance door
is opened. Open the door carefully.
Leave the door ajar and wait a few
minutes before removing the dishes.
In this way they will be cooler and
the drying will be improved.
Interrupting a washing
programme in progress
It is recommended that the appliance
is unplugged and the water tap
turned off when the washing
programme is completed.
1. Open the appliance door. The washing
programme stops.
20
Unloading the appliance
• Water may appear on the sides and the
door of the appliance as the stainless steel
will eventually become cooler than the
dishes.
• 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.
21

prolonged period of time you are advised to:
• Unplug the appliance and then turn off the
water.
• Leave the door ajar to prevent the
formation of any unpleasant smells.
• Leave the inside of the appliance clean.
Caution! Never use the appliance
without filters. Incorrect
repositioning and fitting of the filters
will produce poor washing results
and will result in damage to the
appliance.
Spray arms
Frost precautions
Caution! Never try to remove the
upper spray arm.
If residue of soil has clogged the holes in the
spray arms, remove the debris with a sharp
pointed item (e.g. toothpick, cocktail stick).

Warning! Any electrical or
plumbing work required to install this
appliance must be carried out by a
qualified electrician or plumber.
Unpacking
• Remove all packaging before positioning
the appliance.
27
Insert the appliance once the levelling has
been done.
When inserting the appliance, ensure that
the water inlet and drain hoses are not
kinked or squashed.
During all operations that involve
accessibility to internal components the
appliance must be unplugged.
Be sure that once the appliance has been
installed, it is easily accessible for the service
engineer in the event that a repair is
required.
If the appliance is later used as a freestanding
appliance, the original worktop must be
reassembled.
The plinth on freestanding appliances is not
adjustable.
Removing the appliance worktop
1. Remove the appliance worktop by
unscrewing the two rear retaining
screws (1)
Caution! It is necessary to protect
the underside of the kitchen worktop
from condensation. A plastic top
cover can be purchased, contact your
local John Lewis branch.
2. Pull the worktop from the back of the
appliance (2).

the front slots.
28
Water connection
Water inlet connection
Water drain connection
This appliance may be fed with either hot
(maximum 60 °C) or cold water.
Nevertheless we advise you use a cold
water supply. A hot water supply is not
always efficient with heavily soiled crockery
as it shortens the washing programmes a lot.
For making the connection itself, the
coupling nut fitted to the appliance inlet hose
is designed to screw onto a 3/4" gas thread
spout or to a purpose made quick-coupling
tap such as the Press-block.
The water pressure must be within the limits
given in the ‘Technical data’. Your local
Water Authority will advise you on the
average mains pressure in your area.
The water inlet hose must not be kinked,
crushed, or entangled when it is being
connected.
The appliance features inlet 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.
If the appliance 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.
This appliance has been fitted with safety
features which will prevent the water used in
the appliance from returning back into the
drinking water system. This appliance
complies with the applicable plumbing
regulations.
The end of the drain hose can be connected
in the following ways:
• 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 appliance.
• To a stand pipe provided with venthole,
minimum internal diameter 4 cm.
max 400 cm
max 85 cm
min 40 cm
The drain hose can face either to the right
or left of the appliance.
Ensure the drain hose is not bent or
squashed as this could prevent or slow
down the discharge of water.
The sink plug must not be in place when the
appliance is draining as this could cause the
water to syphon back into the appliance.
If you use a drain hose extension, the
internal diameter must be no smaller than
the diameter of the hose provided.
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.
Caution! Do not use inlet and drain
hoses which have previously been
used on another appliance.
29
Our appliances are supplied with a security
device to protect against the return of dirty
water back into the appliance. If the spigot
of your sink has a "no return valve"
incorporated this can prevent the correct
draining of your appliance. We therefore
advise you to remove it.
When connecting the drain hose to an
under sink trap spigot, the entire plastic
membrane (A) must be removed. Failure to
remove all the membrane will result in food
particles building up over time eventually
blocking the appliance drain hose spigot.
30
Electrical connection
The manufacturer accepts no liability
for failure to observe the following
safety precautions.
Warning! Safety standards require
the appliance to be earthed.
Prior to using the appliance for the
first time, ensure that the rated
voltage and type of supply on the
rating plate match that of the supply
where the appliance is to be installed.
The fuse rating is also to be found on
the rating plate.
Always plug the mains plug into a
correctly installed shockproof socket.
Multi-way plugs, connectors and
extension cables must not be used.
This could constitute a fire hazard
through overheating.
If necessary, have the domestic wiring
system socket replaced. In case that
the electrical cable has to be
replaced, contact your local repair
agent.
The plug must be accessible after the
appliance has been installed.
Never unplug the appliance by pulling
on the cable. Always pull the plug.
The appliance is supplied with a 13
amp plug attached. Use a 13 amp
ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse if it is
necessary to change the fuse in the
plug supplied.
