Prior to using for the first time
Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply
with the installation instructions
2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance
3. Set the water softener
4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill
with salt
5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser
b) Setting electronically
The dishwasher is factory set at level 5. If it’s necessary to

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 salts, the harder your water is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German
degrees, French degrees and PPM (parts per Million).
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 switch and electronically, using the function
push buttons on the control panel.
If your water is level 1 it is already soft and therefore there
is no need to use salt.
3. Press the function push button 1, the indicator lights of
function push buttons 2 and 3 turn off while the indicator
light of the push button 1 goes on flashing, at the same
time the "end of programme" indicator light illuminates,
along with a sequence of audible signals.
The current level is indicated by the number of flashes and
audible signals.
Example: 5 flashes + 5 audible signals = level 5
4. To change the level, press push button 1. Each time the
push button is pressed the level changes.
Examples:
if the current level is 5, by pressing push button 1 once,
level 6 is selected.
if the current level is 10, by pressing push button 1 once,
level 1 is selected.

Filling with salt
Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.
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.
Top up with rinse aid when the rinse aid indicator light on the
control panel illuminates.
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).
Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on
the dishes after washing.
The dose is factory set in
position 4.
To fill:
Reduce it if there are sticky
whitish streaks on the dishes.
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. Screw on the cap tightly
turning it clockwise until it
stops with a click.
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an
absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next
wash.
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.
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.
Deactivation of the inflow of rinse aid
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.
(The dishwasher must be switched off)
When the inflow of rinse aid has been deactivated, also
the rinse aid indicator light on the control panel is
automatically deactivated.
Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with
salt, this is quite normal.
1. Press the On/Off push button, all indicator lights of the
programme push buttons will illuminate (setting mode).
Rinse aid
2. Press simultaneously function push buttons 2 and 3, the
indicator lights of the function push buttons 1, 2 and 3 start
flashing.
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.
3. Press the function push button 2, the indicator lights of
function push buttons 1 and 3 turn off while the indicator
light of the push button 2 goes on flashing, at the same time
the "end of programme" indicator light illuminates
indicating that the inflow of rinse is active.
Filling with rinse aid
4. To deactivate the inflow of rinse aid, press again the
function push button 2, the "end of programme" indicator
light turns off, indicating that the inflow of rinse aid has been
deactivated.
1. Open the container by pressing the release button (A).
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The
maximum level for filling is indicated by "max".
5. To memorise the operation, switch off the dishwasher by
pressing the On/Off push button or wait about 60 seconds
after which the dishwasher will automatically return to
setting mode.

In daily use
●
Check if it’s necessary to refill with special salt or rinse aid
●
Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher.
●
Fill with dishwasher detergent .
●
Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and
dishes.
●
Start the wash programme.
- 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 tendancy to
retain water drops; these items will not dry as well as
porcelain and steel items.
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.
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. Left-overs, 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
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
The cutlery 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 lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates,
salad bowls, cutlery etc.
Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the
edge of the basket, ensuring that the spray arms can turn
freely.
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.

Use of detergent
Fill with detergent
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
1. If the lid is closed: press release button (1).
The lid springs open.
Using no more then the correct amount of detergent
contributes to reducing pollution.
2. Fill the detergent dispenser (2) with detergent.
The marking indicates the dosing levels:
20 = approximately 20 g of detergent
30 = approximately 30 g of detergent
Prior to the start of a wash programme (not for the "Rinse and
Hold" programme). The detergent is released during the
washing phase.
Please observe the manufacturer’s dosing and storage
recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging.
DE19
DE22
3. For all programmes with prewash, an additional detergent
dose (5/10 g) must be placed into the adjacent chamber (3).
4. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.
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.
General advice
These products are detergents with detergent/rinse-aid and
salt functions integrated.
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).
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.
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:
Special advice
- conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components.
- low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.
When using combination products select the lowest possible
setting for water hardness.
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.
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 the rinse aid inflow must be deactivated (see
"Deactivation of the inflow of rinse aid").
27
●
Refill both the salt container and rinse aid dispenser.
●
Switch the water hardness setting to the highest possible
position and run a normal washing programme without a
load.
●
Readjust the water hardness setting again according to the
hardness of the water in your area.

Press the push button of the programme you want to
select for about 6 seconds, the indicator light of the
running programme starts to flash.
The indicator light of the running programme turns off
and at the same time the indicator light of the new
selected programme will illuminate.
The new programme will start automatically once the
dishwasher door is closed.
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.
When the washing programme has finished, it is
recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the
water tap turned off.
To cancel a washing programme
Open the dishwasher door.
Press simultaneously the function push buttons 2 and 3
for about 2 seconds, the indicator light of the running
programme will start flashing. After about 2 seconds all
the indicator lights of the programme push buttons will
illuminate indicating that the running programme has
been cancelled and that the machine has returned to
setting mode.
It is now possible to select and start a new washing
programme.

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.

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. 50°C) 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.
Building-in
This dishwasher is designed to be fitted under a kitchen
counter or worksurface.
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.
Attention!
Carefully follow the instructions on the enclosed template for
building in the dishwasher and fitting the furniture panel.
The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled
when it is being connected up.
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. (Attention! NOT all models of
dishwashers have fill and drain hoses provided with locknut. In
this case, this kind of facility is not possible).
The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks.
No further openings for the venting of the dishwasher are
required, but only to let the water fill and drain hose and power
supply cable pass through.
The dishwasher incorporates adjustable feet to allow the
adjustment of the height.
During all operations that involve accessibility to internal
components the dishwasher has to be unplugged.
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.
When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet hose,
the drain hose and the supply cable are not kinked or
squashed.
Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been
used in another appliance.
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.
Levelling
Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of
the door.
Water inlet hose with safety valve
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch
on either side of the cabinet.
After connecting the double-walled water inlet hose, the safety
valve is next to the tap. Therefore the water inlet hose is only
under pressure while the water is running. If the water inlet
hose starts to leak during this operation, the safety valve cuts
off the running water.
If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the
adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.
Fixing to the adjacent units
Please take care when installing the water inlet hose:
The dishwasher must be secured against tilting.
Therefore make sure that the counter it is fixed under, is
suitably secured to a fixed structure (adjacent kitchen units
cabinets, wall).
- The electrical cable for the safety valve is in the doublewalled water inlet hose. Do not immerse the water inlet hose
or the safety valve in water.
- If water inlet hose or the safety valve is damaged, remove
the mains plug immediately.
- A water inlet hose with safety valve must only be replaced by
a specialist or by the Service Force Centre.
- Place the water inlet hose in such a way that it is never
higher than the bottom edge of the safety valve.

Water outlet hose connection
Electrical connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following
ways:
Information concerning the electrical connection is given on the
rating plate on the edge of the dishwasher’s door on the right.
1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it if necessary with a clip.
Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket, make sure
that:
2. Hooked over the edge of the sink using the special curved
plastic guide (if provided with the machine).
1. The mains voltage and current rating at the site of
installation match the nominal voltage and current rating
given on the rating plate.
3. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal
diameter 4 cm.
2. The meter, fuses, mains power supply and wall socket can
all take the maximum load required. Make sure that the
socket and plug are compatible without having to use any
type of adaptor. If necessary, have the domestic wiring
system socket replaced.
The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm
(minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the
dishwasher.
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.
To isolate the dishwasher from mains, remove the mains plug.
Important!
The plug must still be accessible after the appliance
has been installed.
The sink plug must not be in place when the machine is
draining as this could cause the water to siphon back into the
machine.
In case that the electrical cable has to be replaced,
please contact your local consumer services
department.
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.
The appliance should not be connected to the
electrical supply by means of an extension cable.
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.
Safety standards require the appliance to be
earthed.
The manufacture accepts no liability for failure to
observe the above safety precautions.
CS18
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.
