Installation and servicing
● All installation and service work done on the product
must be carried out by a qualified technician. Work
performed by persons with inadequate knowledge may
adversely affect the satisfactory functioning of the
product and may cause personal injury or damage.
Before any work is carried out on the dishwasher, it must
be isolated from the electrical supply, by unplugging
the power cord or removing the fuse.
● Water connection shall be made via an easily accessible
stopcock.
● The power cord must be plugged into an earthed
socket, which need to be easily accessible. Permanent
installation must only be carried out by an authorised
electrician.
● If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by a special cord or assembly available from the
manufacturer or its service agent.
● Make sure that the power cord is not nipped or otherwise
damaged and that the hoses do not get crushed or
kinked when moving the dishwasher in connection
with installation or cleaning etc.
● Our approved build-in kit must be used if the dishwasher
is to be built into the kitchen furnishings.
● Servicing and possible repairs must be carried out by
a service company authorised by the manufacturer.
Use only spare parts supplied by these. Never try to
repair the dishwasher yourself.
Child Safety
● The dishwasher should be used by adults only. Do not
let children play with the controls or other parts of it.
● Remember that the plastic bags included in the
packaging can be fatal playthings for small children.
● Keep all detergents in safe place out of children´s
reach.
● Prevent children from sitting, swinging or standing
on the open door.
During Use
● This dishwasher is designed solely for washing house-
hold utensils suitable for machine washing. Using it for
other purposes could lead to physical injury or damage
to property and invalidate the guarantee.
● Avoid opening the door while the dishwasher is running,
as hot steam may escape.
● Only use detergent specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
● Do not place sharp knives with their points upwards.
It is much safer to lay them horizontally in the basket.
● Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always closed
when it is not being loaded or unloaded. In this way you
will avoid anybody injuring themselves on the open
door, if the dishwasher is placed under the worktop.
● If you take any dishes out of the machine before the
end of the dishwashing cycle, it is extremely important
to rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove
any remaining detergent.
● In the event of flooding or leakage, shut off the water
supply immediately by closing the stopcock and disconnect the power supply by unplugging the power cord
or removing the fuse. When removing the electrical
plug, grip the plug, not the lead.
● There is always a certain risk of leakages in any machine
connected to a water supply, no matter what water safety
features it may have. Therefore it is advisable always to
turn off the water supply tap when the machine is not in use.

Rinse conditioner dispenser 1
Use of a rinse conditioner will result in cleaner and faster
drying of the load, since it helps water to run off. Too
much conditioner may result in streakiness, too little may
cause white spots. The dispenser holds about 140 ml. This
is enough for 40-70 wash cycles, depending on the dosage setting. When the rinse conditioner level is approaching the bottom of the scale it is time to refill the dispenser.
Adjust the dosage setting according to the hardness if the water. Begin with the lowest dosage
setting and increase as necessary by turning the
arrow clockwise.
1. Swivel out the filler trough.
2. Fill up with rinse conditioner until the level reaches
up to the red mark on the level indicator tube; do
not overfill.
3. Wipe off any spillage carefully to prevent excessive
foaming during the next wash programme.
4. Close the filler trough afterwards.
Do not fill the rinse aid dispenser with liquid
detergent.
Spray arm 2
It is important to keep all the holes in the spray arm clear.
A clogged hole can seriously affect washing efficiency. If
the spray arm needs cleaning, unscrew the nut clockwise,
remove the washer and lift off the spray arm. Clear the
holes and shake out any food remnants.
Coarse filter 3
The purpose of the coarse filter is to catch large objects
such as toothpicks and pieces of eggshell. Make sure that
the filter is always clean. Lift it out and rinse it under running water whenever necessary.
Fine filter 4
It is just as important to keep this filter clean. A dirty or
clogged filter will always impair washing efficiency. The
fine filter can easily be lifted out for cleaning when you
have removed the coarse filter.
Detergent dispenser 5
Pour the detergent into the compartment, for a normal load
about 1-2 tablespoons.
Only use detergents specially designed for
dishwashers.
