Salt  
Fig.2-3  
The hardness of water varies from place to place. If hard water  
is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes  
and utensils.  
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a  
salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from  
the water.  
Low salt indicator  
Loading the salt into the container  
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.  
Fig.2-4  
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and  
should be filled as follows:  
1. When the low salt indicator (Fig.2-3) lights, you must fill  
the salt. Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and  
remove the cap from the salt container.  
Note: If you are filling the container for the first time, fill  
it with water.  
2. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole  
and introduce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small  
amount of water to come out of the salt container.

Adjusting salt consumption  
40  
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount  
of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used.  
This is intended to optimize and customize the level of salt  
consumption so that it remains at a minimum.  
60  
Table 2-1  
To adjust salt consumption:  
1. Unscrew the cap from the salt container.  
2. There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it  
(Fig.2-4).  
3. If necessary, rotate the ring in a counter-clockwise  
direction from the ‘–‘ setting towards the ‘+sign, based  
on the hardness of the water being used.  
We recommend that you adjust the salt consumption in  
accordance with Table 2-1.  
The default setting of the water softening system is:  
If using multi-functional tablets fill the salt dispenser  
and set the adjuster to ‘–’;  
If the hardness of the water is greater than 60°fH, set it  
to ‘+.

Rinse Aid  
Fig.2-5  
This product makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry  
without spotting. The dispenser is located on the inside panel  
of the door.  
When the low rinse aid indicator on the control panel  
(Fig.2-5) and the indicator on the dispenser (Fig.2-6) lights  
you must add rinse aid.  
Note: When 3-in-1 or similar combination detergent tablets,  
the rinse-aid is no longer useful.  
Low rinse aid indicator  
Loading the rinse aid  
To load the rinse aid:  
Fig.2-6  
1. To open the dispenser, turn the cap in a counter-  
clockwise direction and remove (Fig.2-7).  
2. Pour in the rinse aid, making sure not to overfill.  
Regulate the amount of rinse aid used for each cycle by  
turning the dose adjuster (Fig.2-8), located beneath the cap,  
with a screwdriver.  
There are 6 different settings; the normal dosage setting is 3.  
Fig.2-7  
IMPORTANT: Proper dosage of rinse aid improves drying.  
If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs,  
the dosage adjuster should be turned to a higher setting. If  
the dishes have white streaks, turn the adjuster to a lower  
setting.  
Detergent  
nser - Removing the rinp  
Detergent specifically intended for use with dishwashers  
must be used. The dispenser must be refilled before the start  
of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the  
‘Programme overview. The detergent dispenser is located on  
the inside panel of the door.  
Fig.2-8  
Loading the detergent  
To load the detergent:  
1. Open the cover on the dispenser by pressing the button  
(Fig.2-9).  
2. Pour the detergent for the wash cycle into compartment  
‘A’ (Fig.2-10).  
3. Pour the detergent for the prewash cycle into  
compartment ‘B’ (Fig.2-10).  
4. After the detergent has been placed in the dispenser,  
close the cover and press down until it clicks in place.  
Note: To allow the cover to close properly, remove any excess  
detergent from the edges of the dispenser.  
If you are using 3-in-1 or similar tablets, make  
nn  
sure you select the combination detergent tablet  
function.

What you should not put into the  
dishwasher  
Fig.2-9  
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.  
Delicate decorative glassware and vases, special antiques or  
irreplaceable china. The decorative patterns on such items  
will not be dishwasher-proof.  
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.  
Fig.2-10  
A
B
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.  
IMPORTANT: Dishes or cutlery that have been soiled by  
tobacco ash, wax, grease or paint, should not be put in the  
dishwasher.  
Damage to Glassware and Other Dishes  
Possible causes  
Type of glass or manufacturing process  
Chemical composition of detergent  
Water temperature and duration of dishwasher  
programme.  
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.  
Select a programme with a low temperature and a short  
duration.

Arranging Crockery, Glasses, etc. in the  
Dishwasher  
Fig.2-11  
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  
Fig.2-12  
The lower rack has adjustable supports that fold down to  
allow larger items to be placed. We recommend that you  
place the most difficult to clean items on the lower rack: pots,  
pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls (Fig.2-11).  
A
B
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.  
C
D
The cutlery basket can be doubled (Fig.2-12) 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!  
nn  
Knives and other utensils with sharp points must  
be loaded in the basket with their points down or  
placed in a horizontal position.  
E
ArtNo.800-302 - Silverware basket  
Using the upper rack  
The upper rack (Fig.2-13) 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).  
Fig.2-13  
Position the dishes and cookware so that the spray of water  
does not move them.  
You can adjust the height of the upper rack by using the  
handles on the side of the rack itself (Fig.2-14).  
Adjust the upper basket to the higher level and you have  
more space to accommodate taller pans and trays in the  
bottom basket.  
ArtUpp
Shelf  
Lean tall glasses and those with long stems against the shelf.  
DO NOT lean them against other items to be washed.  
Fig.2-14  
Rack  
Place glasses, cups and small bowls on the additional cup  
rack. The additional cup rack can be swivelled in or out as  
required (Fig.2-15).  
Handle  
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.2-16).

Using 3-in 1 Detergent Tablets  
General Advice  
1. Open the door.  
2. Set the ON-OFF button to OFF.  
3. Remove dishes, etc. when they have cooled down.  
1. Before using these products you should first check  
that the water hardness in your supply is compatible  
with their use, as per the detergent manufacturers  
instructions (on the product packaging).  
Note: For the best drying performance, we recommend that  
you do not remove the contents for at least 30 minutes. This  
allows residual heat in the dishwasher to remove any small  
droplets of water that may occur.  
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).  
Interrupting the programme  
A cycle that is underway can be modified if it has only been  
running for a short time. Otherwise, the detergent may have  
already been used, and the appliance may have already  
drained the wash water. If this is the case the detergent  
dispenser must be refilled; see ‘Loading the detergent’.  
Special Advice  
When using combination products, the rinse-aid and salt  
lights are no longer useful.  
It may be helpful to select the lowest possible setting for  
water hardness.  
To cancel a programme that is underway, carefully open  
the door and press the programme button and hold it in for  
about 3 seconds.

every thirty seconds.  
If the appliance has already heated up or the hot water was  
switched ON and then the appliance door opened, leave the  
door ajar for several minutes and then close.  
After 30 seconds the programme will start from the point it  
was interrupted.  
Cancelling or modifying a cycle  
A cycle that is underway can be modified if it has only been  
running for a short time. Otherwise, the detergent may have  
already been used and the appliance may have already

3. Looking after your Dishwasher  
Care  
Fig.3-1  
After Every Wash  
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  
nn  
from mains.  
Low salt indicator  
Overall condition of appliance  
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.  
Fig.3-2  
Dishwasher salt  
Check the LOW SALT indicator. Top up with salt, if required  
(Fig.3-1).  
Low rinse aid indicator  
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.  
Insert the filter unit and tighten the coarse micro-filter.  
Spray arms  
Fig.3-4  
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).  
Clean both spray arms under running water.  
Refit the spray arms. Make sure that the lower arm  
nn  
No.800-0507 aning the filter 2  
has locked into place and the upper one is screwed  
tight.  
Solventsor Abrasive Cleaning Products  
DO NOT use solvents or abrasive cleaning products to clean  
the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher. Rather, use  
only a cloth and warm soapy water.  
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.  
Fig.3-5  
Seals  
ArtNo.800-0509 - Cleaning the lower spray arm  
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.  
600-700 mm  
Before installing the dishwasher into a kitchen cabinet,  
holes must not be drilled into the sides or door, as to avoid  
compromising the performance and operation of the  
appliance.  
80 mm  
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  
¾“ BSP tap connector  
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.  
Water hose  
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

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).
