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-proof’by 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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).
