The water softener  
2. To change the level, press the Start/Cancel button.  
Each time this button is pressed the level changes. (For the  
selection of the new level, see chart).  
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.  
Examples:  
If current level is 5, by pressing the Start/Cancel button  
once, level 6 is selected.  
The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the harder  
your water is.  
If current level is 10, by pressing the Start/Cancel button  
once, level 1 is selected.  
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).

Filling with dishwasher salt  
Rinse aid  
Only use salt specifically designed for use in  
dishwashers.  
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring  
thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.  
All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in  
a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water  
softener.  
The dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about  
110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for between 16 and 40  
dishwashing cycles, depending upon the dosage setting.  
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.  
Filling with rinse aid  
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".  
To fill:  
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  
Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.  
thread or on the gasket.  
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an  
absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next  
wash.  
5. Replace the cap tightly  
turning it clockwise until it  
stops with a click.  
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.  
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.  
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).  
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 dose is factory set in  
position 4.  
Do not worry if water overflows from the unit when filling with  
salt, this is quite normal.  
Increase the dose if there are  
drops of water or lime spots  
on the dishes after washing.  
Reduce it if there are sticky  
whitish streaks on the dishes  
or a bluish film on glassware  
or knife blades.  
Top up the rinse aid when the indicator light on the control  
panel illuminates.

G Before loading the dishes, you should:  
- Remove all left over food and debris.  
- Soften remnants of burnt food in pans  
G Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and  
dishes.  
G Start the wash programme.  
G 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.  
- 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.  
G Plastic items and pans with teflon have a tendency to  
retain water drops; these items will not dry as well as  
porcelain and steel items.  
For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes  
are not suitable:  
are of limited suitability:  
- 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 are not temperature  
resistant  
- Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour  
during washing. Residues, 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 prone to rusting  
- Wooden platters  
- Items made from synthetic fibres  
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.  
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.

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 upper basket  
The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates,  
saucers, dinner plates of up to 24 cm in diameter), salad  
bowls, cups and glasses.  
Arrange items on and  
underneath the cup racks so  
that water can reach all  
surfaces.  
Glasses with long stems can  
be placed upside down in the  
cup racks.  
Forks and spoons should be placed in the removable cutlery  
basket with the handles facing downwards and the knives with  
their handles facing upwards.  
If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket,  
obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the  
handles facing upwards.  
For taller items, the cup racks  
can be folded upwards.  
Light items (plastic bowls  
etc.) must be loaded in the  
upper basket and arranged  
so they do not move.  
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking  
together.  
For best results we  
recommend you to use the  
cutlery grids provided (if the  
size and dimensions of the  
cutlery allow it).  
The cutlery basket is in two  
parts which can be  
separated to give greater  
loading flexibility. To separate  
the two parts, slide them  
horizontally in opposite  
directions and pull them  
apart. To reassemble,  
In case that plates are loaded in the upper  
basket:  
load them starting from the  
rear positions of the  
basket; tilting them slightly  
forwards and avoiding the  
front positions near the  
door.  
reverse the procedure.  
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can  
rotate freely.

Different kinds of detergent  
Detergent tablets  
Use of "3 in 1" combi detergents  
Detergent tablets from different manufactures dissolve at  
different rates. For this reason, some detergent tablets do not  
attain their full cleaning power during short washing  
programmes. Therefore please use long washing programmes  
when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal  
of detergent residuals.  
These products are detergents with a combined cleaning,  
rinsing and salt function.  
1. Check whether these detergents are suitable for your water  
hardness. Follow the manufacturers instructions.  
NOTE: the refilling of the salt container and the rinse aid  
dispenser are no longer necessary.  
In this case the rinse aid indicator light will always remain  
illuminated when the machine is switched on.  
Concentrated detergent  
Modern detergents for dishwashers are almost exclusively low-  
alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes in tablet  
form.  
2. Select the lowest setting for water hardness.  
3. Before the start of the washing programme put the "3 in 1"  
Using 50°C washing programmes in conjunction with these  
concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your  
dishes, as these washing programmes are specially matched  
to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes in concentrated  
detergents. It is for this reason that using 50°C washing  
programmes in conjunction with concentrated detergents can  
achieve the same cleaning results that can otherwise only be  
achieved using 65°C washing programmes.  
detergent in the detergent dispenser.  
NOTE: If the drying results are not satisfactory we recommend  
that you:  
1. Fill up the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid.  
2. Set the rinse aid dosage to position 2.  
If you decide to turn back to the use of the standard  
detergent system we advise that you:  
G Fill up the dispensers for salt and rinse aid again.  
G Adjust the water hardness setting to the highest setting  
and perform up to 3 normal washing programmes without  
loading any dishes.  
G Adjust the water hardness setting according to the  
hardness of the water in your area.  
G Adjust the rinse aid dosage.  
NOTE: When using 4 in 1 detergents that integrate also anti-  
glass corrosion agent into "3 in 1" formula, please follow the  
same instruction as given for "3 in 1" detergents above.

countdown.  
Once the delay start has elapsed the washing programme  
will start automatically, the delay start indicator light turns  
off and the indicator light of the phase in progress  
illuminates.  
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.  
Water may appear on the sides and the door of the  
dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become  
cooler than the dishes.

recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the  
water tap turned off.  
To start the selected washing programme press the  
Start/Cancel button.  
NOTE: the washing programme or the countdown of the  
delay start will begin only after having pressed the  
Start/Cancel button. Until that moment it is possible to  
modify the selection made.

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....).  
9. Put the filter combination in place and lock by turning the  
handle clockwise to the stop. During this process ensure  
that the flat filter does not protrude above the base of the  
washing compartment.  
Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse  
aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.  
Attention!  
We recommend the use of Finish Dishwasher Cleaner every  
3 months or run a 65°C wash programme without dishes using  
detergent.  
Under no circumstances may the dishwasher be used without  
filters.  
Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce  
poor washing results.  
Regular use of Finish Dishwasher Cleaner cleans  
inaccessible parts, eliminates unpleasant food odours and  
helps prevent the build-up of limescale.  
NEVER try to remove the  
upper spray arm.  
Cleaning the filters  
The filters must be checked and cleaned from time to time.  
Dirty filters will degrade the washing result.  
If residues of soil have  
clogged the holes in the  
upper spray arm, remove  
them with a cocktail stick.  
Important! Before cleaning the filters ensure that the  
machine is switched off.  
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.  
Prolonged periods of non-operation  
If you are not using the machine for any period of time you are  
advised to:  
1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water.  
2. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any  
unpleasant smells.  
3. Leave the inside of the machine clean.  
Frost precautions  
Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature  
is below 0°C. If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close  
the appliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty  
it.

3. Turn the handle about / a turn anticlockwise and remove.  
Moving the machine  
If you have to move the machine (moving house etc....):  
1. Unplug it.  
2. Turn the water tap off.  
3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.  
4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses.  
Avoid over tilting the machine during transportation.

and remove from the microfilter (B).  
5. Clean all filters thoroughly under running water.  
6. Remove the flat filter (C) from the base of the washing  
compartment and clean both faces thoroughly.  
7. Put the flat filter (C) back in the base of the washing  
compartment.

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.  
The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled  
when it is being connected.  
The inlet hose must hang down vertically from the supply tap.  
Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.  
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. The locknut must be correctly fitted  
to avoid water leaks. (Attention! NOT all models of  
dishwashers have fill and drain hoses provided with locknut. In  
this case, this kind of facility is not possible).  
If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a  
drain.  
Fitting under a counter  
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.  
(kitchen worktop or sink)  
By removing the machine’s worktop, you can install it under a  
close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, providing the  
dimensions of the recess correspond to those shown in the  
picture.  
DO NOT use connection hoses which have previously  
been used for an old appliance.  
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.  
Water outlet hose connection  
The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following  
ways:  
1. 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 machine.  
Proceed as follows:  
Remove the machine’s worktop by unscrewing the two rear  
retaining screws, pull the worktop from the back of the  
machine and slide out the front slots, lifting the worktop.  
2. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal  
diameter 4 cm.  
The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm  
(minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the  
dishwasher.  
Insert the machine after adjusting the levelling with the  
adjustable feet. When inserting the machine, ensure that the  
water inlet and drain hoses are not kinked or squashed.  
The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the  
dishwasher  
During all operations that involve accessibility to internal  
components the dishwasher has to 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 dishwasher is later used as a free-standing appliance,  
the original worktop must be re-mounted.  
Ensure the 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 machine is  
draining as this could cause the water to syphon back into the  
machine.  
The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable.  
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.  
Levelling  
Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of  
the door.  
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not  
catch on either side of the cabinet.  
If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the  
adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.  
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.  
Water supply connections  
We recommend that this dishwasher is connected to your cold  
water supply.  
Attention!  
For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the  
machine’s supply hose is designed to screw onto a 3/4" gas  
thread spout.  
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 therefore advise you to remove it.  
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.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.  
The manufacturer declines any responsibility  
should this safety measure not be observed.  
If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for the  
socket, it must be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted.  
Important  
The wires on the mains lead are coloured in accordance with  
the following code:  
Green and Yellow - Earth  
Blue  
- Neutral  
- Live  
Brown  
If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the mains  
lead of your appliance may not correspond with the markings  
identifying the terminals in your plug.  
Proceed as follows:  
1. Connect the Green and Yellow (earth) wire to the terminal  
in the plug which is marked with the letter "E" or the earth  
symbol  
or coloured green and yellow.  
2. Connect the Blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug  
which is marked with the letter "N" or coloured black.  
3. Connect the Brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug  
which is marked with the letter "L" or coloured red.  
The plug moulded onto the lead incorporates a 13amp BSI362  
fuse. Only ASTA or BSI fuses should be used.  
The plug must not be used if the fuse cover/carrier is lost. The  
cover/carrier is indicated by the coloured insert at the base of  
the plug.  
A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from your local  
Service Force Centre.  
To isolate the dishwasher from mains, remove the mains plug.  
Important!  
The plug must still be accessible after the appliance  
has been installed.  
The appliance should not be connected to the  
electrical supply by means of an extension cable.  
In case that the electrical cable has to be replaced,  
please contact your local Service Force Centre.  
Warning!  
A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a  
serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that it is  
disposed of safely.
