Detergent tablets explained  
What you should not put into the  
dishwasher  
Classic Tabs  
Cutlery and tableware manufactured in whole or part from  
wood. They become faded and unsightly in appearance.  
Furthermore the adhesives that are used are not suitable for  
the temperature that occurs inside the dishwasher.  
The tab contains Stain Soakers, which dissolve instantly to  
soften really dried on food residues such as baked on egg and  
cheese sauces.  
The blue layer then works to break down and lift off food  
remains while the white layer cleans all traces of dirt away for  
a spotless and brilliant finish.  
Delicate decorative glassware and vases, special antiques or  
irreplaceable china. The decorative patterns on such items  
will not be dishwasher-proof.  
For best results, use with Rinse Aid and Special Salt.  
Plastic objects that are not resistant to hot water, copper and  
pewter utensils are also not suitable. Decorative patterns  
printed or painted onto the surface of crockery, glasses, etc.,  
aluminium and silver items tend to become discoloured or  
faded if washed in the dishwasher.  
Directions: Simply unwrap one tab and place in the detergent  
dispenser of your dishwasher. For best results, use with Rinse Aid  
and Special Salt.  
3-in-1 Tabs  
Some types of glass can become opaque in appearance after  
they have been washed many times in a dishwasher. Highly  
absorbent materials, such as sponges and towels should  
never be placed in the dishwasher.  
1.  
2.  
3.  
The blue layer contains powerful detergent and Red  
Stain Soaker speckles to soften and break down tough  
dried-on stains.  
The white layer, with its integrated salt function, softens  
the water and prevents limescale whilst removing all  
traces of residue.  
IMPORTANT: Dishes or cutlery that have been soiled by  
tobacco ash, wax, grease or paint, should not be put in the  
dishwasher.  
The 3-in-1 tabs contain a rinse aid ball to deliver a  
spotless, streak free brilliant shine.  
Damage to glassware and other dishes  
Possible causes  
Directions: Unwrap one tab and place in the detergent dispenser  
of your dishwasher. No need to add additional salt or rinse aid.  
The 3-in-1 tab’s salt-action is effective in soft, medium and hard  
water up to 21dH (around 95% of households).  
Type of glass or manufacturing process  
Chemical composition of detergent  
Water temperature and duration of dishwasher  
programme.  
5-in-1 Tabs  
1.  
The tablet is formulated with powerful detergent and  
red Stain Soaker speckles to help penetrate and break  
down the toughest baked-on and dried-on stains, even  
tea stains.  
Suggested remedy  
Use glassware or porcelain dishes that have been  
marked ‘dishwasher-proofby the manufacturer.  
Use a mild detergent that is described as ‘kind to dishes.  
If necessary, seek further information from detergent  
manufacturers.  
2.  
3.  
Using a rinse aid function, the tab is developed for a  
spotless, streak-free sparkling shine.  
In the white layer of the tablet, the 5-in-1 tab’s salt-  
action prevents limescale deposits in your machine that  
can result in residue on your glasses.  
Select a programme with a low temperature and a short  
duration.  
To prevent damage, take glass and cutlery out of the  
dishwasher as soon as possible after the programme has  
ended.  
4.  
5.  
Protector Action helps prevent permanent glass  
corrosion, a source of cloudy glasses.  
The tab gives extra cleaning power to help remove  
encrusted stains for a complete clean.  
Directions: Simply unwrap one tab and place in the detergent  
dispenser of your dishwasher. The 5-in-1 tab’s salt-action  
is effective in soft, medium and hard water up to 21dH  
(approximately 95% of households).

Arranging Crockery, Glasses, etc. in the  
Dishwasher  
Fig.2-10  
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger  
food particles to prevent the filter from becoming clogged,  
resulting in reduced performance.  
If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely  
hard to remove, we recommend that they are soaked before  
washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles.  
Pull out the rack to load the dishwasher.  
Using the lower rack  
We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean  
items on the lower rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and  
bowls (Fig.2-10).  
Fig.2-11  
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides of  
the racks to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.  
Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down.  
Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out.  
The cutlery basket can be doubled (Fig.2-11) so that only  
one section may be used when the cutlery load is light. This  
also makes space for additional pots and pans and it can also  
be placed in the upper rack.  
WARNING!  
Knives and other utensils with sharp points must  
be loaded in the basket with their points down or  
placed in a horizontal position.  
Using the upper rack  
ArtNo.800-302 - Silverware basket  
The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter  
dishware, such as glasses, cups and saucers, plates, small  
bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty).  
Position the dishes and cookware so that the spray of water  
does not move them.  
Fig.2-12  
The upper rack can be adjusted for height (Fig.2-12). Undo  
the retaining clips on the telescopic runners (A). Slide the rack  
out (B), refit on the lower wheels and push back along the  
runners (C). Close the retaining clips (D).  
Adjust the upper basket to the higher level and you have  
more space to accommodate taller pans and trays in the  
bottom basket.  
ArtNo.800-0308 - Adjusting the ack  
Shelf  
Lean tall glasses and those with long stems against the shelf.  
DO NOT lean them against other items to be washed.  
Fig.2-13  
Fig.2-14  
Place glasses, cups and small bowls on the additional cup  
rack. The additional cup rack can be swivelled in or out as  
required (Fig.2-13).  
Knife rack  
The knife rack clips onto the side of the top basket, giving you  
the freedom to wash your large sharp knives separately and  
out of harm’s way (Fig.2-14).

Washing Dishes  
Fig.2-15  
Programme selection  
The most appropriate programme can be identified by  
comparing the type of crockery, cutlery, etc., as well as the  
amount and condition of food remains, with the details  
contained in Table 2-2, the wash cycle table.  
The corresponding programme sequence, duration and  
consumption details are shown in the right half of the table.  
Fig.2-16  
Example: Use the normal programme for dishes and utensils  
that are heavily soiled.

Care  
Fig.3-1

After every wash, set the ON-OFF button to OFF and leave the  
door slightly ajar so that moisture and odours are not trapped  
inside.

Before cleaning or performing maintenance isolate  
from mains.  
Overall condition of appliance  
Fig.3-2  
Check that no grease or scale has accumulated on the inside  
of the dishwasher. If you discover any deposits: Clean the  
interior of the dishwasher thoroughly with a detergent  
solution.  
ArtNo.800-0205 -  
Low rinse aid indicator  
Dishwasher salt  
Check the LOW SALT indicator. Top up with salt, if required  
(Fig.3-1).  
Rinse-aid  
Check the LOW RINSE AID indicator (Fig.3-2), on the front  
panel. Top up with rinse-aid if required.  
Fig.3-3  
Filters  
The filters prevent larger particles of food in the water from  
reaching the pump. These particles may occasionally block  
the filters.  
When the appliance has finished washing, check the filters for  
particles of food and, if required, clean.  
After undoing the coarse micro-filter (Fig.3-3), the filter unit  
can be removed (Fig.3-4). Remove any particles of food and  
rinse the filters under running water.

Spray arms  
Fig.3-5  
Limescale and remnants of food in the washing water can  
block the nozzles in the spray arms and the arm mountings.  
Inspect the nozzles in the spray arms for blocked holes due  
to remnants of food.  
If necessary, pull the lower arm (Fig.3-5) upwards and lift it off.  
Unscrew the upper spray arm (Fig.3-6).  
ArtNo.800-0505 - Cleaning the lower spray arm  
Clean both spray arms under running water.  
Refit the spray arms. Ensure that the lower arm has  
locked into place and the upper one is screwed tight.  
Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products  
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do  
not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather, use  
only a cloth and warm soapy water.  
Fig.3-6  
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use  
a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar or a  
cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.  
Moving the Appliance  
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in a vertical  
position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its  
back.  
Seals  
One of the factors that cause odours to form in the  
dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals.  
Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from  
occurring.  
����  
When You Go on Holiday  
When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you  
run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and isolate  
from the mains. Turn off the water supply and leave  
the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This will help  
the seals last longer and prevent odours from forming  
within the appliance.

5. Installation  
Positioning the Dishwasher  
Fig.5-1  
The dishwasher should be aligned to the front of the adjacent  
cabinets, with allowance made for the door thickness. The  
dishwasher has water supply and drain hoses that can be  
positioned on either to the left or the right.  
��  
��  
��  
��  
Before installing the dishwasher into a kitchen cabinet,  
holes must not be drilled into the sides, or door, to avoid  
compromising the performance and operation of the  
appliance.  
A plastic self-adhesive anti-condensation strip is supplied  
with the dishwasher. Fix the strip to the underside of the  
worktop, along the front edge (Fig.5-1).  
Connect up the cold water supply, the drain hose and the  
electrical connections (see below) then slide the dishwasher  
into the cabinet opening. Make sure the unit sits on the  
plastic skids supplied.  
Fig.5-2  
��  
Cold Water Connection  
Connect the water supply hose (supplied loose) to the cold  
water inlet at the rear. Connect the other end to a ¾“ BSP tap  
connector (Fig.5-2). Make sure that the washers are in place  
and that it is fastened securely in place.  
���  
IMPORTANT: If the water pipes are new or have not been  
used for an extended period of time, run the water for  
a while to make sure that the water is clear and free of  
impurities BEFORE connecting to the dishwasher. Failure  
to carry out this precaution may lead to the water inlet  
becoming blocked and causing damage the appliance.  
ArtNo.800-0101 - Cold water connection  
�  
Fig.5-3  
Drain Hose Connection  
Connect the drain hose the water outlet. Insert the hose into  
a drainpipe with a minimum diameter of 40 mm, or let it  
run into a sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping. If  
necessary, fit a siphon trap (U-bend) with a connecting piece.  
The free end of the hose must be at a height of between 40-  
100 cm and must not be immersed in water (Fig.5-3).  
��  
�  
ArtNo.800-0103 - RDW6012 waster hose connection  
WARNING! The connecting piece for the siphon trap  
(U-bend) must be solidly fastened to the wall to  
prevent the drain hose from moving and allowing  
water to spill outside the drain (Fig.5-4).

Electrical Connection  
Fig.5-5  
The dishwasher must be installed by a qualified electrician,  
in accordance with all relevant British Standards/Codes of  
Practice (in particular BS 7671), or with the relevant national  
and local regulations.  
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED  
��  
All external wiring must comply with the IEE Regulations  
for the Electrical Equipment of Buildings. Connection to the  
electrical supply can be made with either a plug and socket  
or be permanently wired via a double pole switch. The  
dishwasher is supplied with a 3-core cable.  
���  
�  
Should the plug not fit the socket in your home, it should be  
removed and replaced with a suitable plug.  
W6
��  
Note: If the plug is fitted is not suitable, it must be cut off and  
disposed of properly. To avoid the risk of electrocution, the  
plug must not be left where children might find it and plug it  
into a supply socket.  
Fig.5-6  
Three pin plugs to BS 1363 with a capacity of not less than  
13A must be used and fitted with a 13 amp fuse ‘ASTA’  
approved to BS 1362.  
After replacing the fuse the cover must be refitted. If the  
cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement  
cover has been obtained from your supplier. The colour of the  
correct fuse carrier is that of the coloured insert in the base of  
the fuse recess, or stated elsewhere on the plug. Always state  
this colour when ordering a replacement fuse carrier.  
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in  
accordance with the following code:  
Green and yellow: EARTH  
Blue:  
NEUTRAL  
LIVE  
Brown:  
Fig.5-7  
Caution: The dishwasher plug must be accessible  
even when the appliance is installed as a built-in  
unit so that maintenance can be carried out safely.  
Care for the external cable  
Hold the plug, not the electrical cable, when  
unplugging the dishwasher.  
Make sure that the dishwasher does not trap the electric  
cable.  
ArtNo.800-0112 - Integrated
Do not step on the cable.  
Avoid damage to the electric cable when moving the  
dishwasher.  
Damaged electrical cable  
If the electrical cable is damaged or worn, switch off the  
dishwasher and consult an authorized agent for replacement.

The adjustable feet allow the dishwasher to be raised up to  
870 mm. If the space between the floor and the underside  
of the work surface is more than 870 mm, the unit should be  
positioned on suitable wooded spacers that should be fixed  
to the floor (Fig.5-5).  
Fig.5-8  
Always use a spirit level to make sure that the appliance  
is level left-to-right and front-to-back. If the appliance is  
installed on carpet, ensure that there is clearance beneath the  
appliance.  
ArtNo.800-0111 - Marking  
the plate position  
Adjust the feet to raise and level the dishwasher to the correct  
height (Fig.5-6). Using the tool supplied, adjust the rear feet  
via the studs ‘A’ at the front of the appliance. Adjust the front  
feet ‘B’ using the spanner provided.

using the other side of the template.  
Align a mounting bracket with the two marks on the lower  
left-hand part of the panel. Mark the remaining hole in the  
top of the bracket (Fig.5-8) and then remove. Repeat for the  
other side.  
At the points marked, carefully drill 2mm holes to a maximum  
depth of 10mm. Take care not to drill through to the front  
face of the door panel.  
Position the two brackets on the panel, with the tab facing  
downwards. Using the screws supplied, fix the brackets to the  
panel.  
Secure the two plastic hooks to the holes at the top of the  
ArtNo.800-0106 - Fitting the door  
panel (Fig.5-9).  
Mounting the door panel to the dishwasher  
Insert the top plastic hooks into the slots on the dishwasher  
front ‘A’. Carefully slide the panel up the channels until it  
stops. Slide the panel downwards ‘B’, moving the bottom of  
the panel door so that the bracket tabs locate into the slots in  
the dishwasher front (Fig.5-10).
