Environmental information
Before installing and first using the dishwasher, read this instruction booklet carefully, including its
hints and warnings. To avoid unnecessary mistakes and accidents, it is important to ensure that all
people using the dishwasher are thoroughly familiar with its operation and safety features.
Save these instructions and make sure they remain with the dishwasher if it is moved or sold, so
that everyone using it through its life can be properly informed on appliance use and safety.
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 authorized
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 other-
wise damaged and that the hoses do not get crushed
or kinked when moving the dishwasher in connection
with installation or cleaning etc.
● Servicing and possible repairs must be carried out by
a service company authorized 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,
since 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 tripping over the open door
and hurting themselves.
● If you take any dishes out of the dishwasher before the

Description of the appliance
Spray arm (1)
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 anticlockwise, remove the washer and lift off the spray arm.
Clear the holes and shake out any food remnants.
Coarse strainer/microfilter (2)
The purpose of the coarse strainer is to catch large objects
such as toothpicks and pieces of eggshell. Make sure
that the strainer is always clean. Turn the coarse strainer
anti-clockwise. Lift it out and rinse it under running water
whenever necessary.
Fine filter (3)
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 strainer.
Detergent dispenser (4)
Open the lid to the dispenser by pressing the lid catch
towards the compartment. Consult the instructions on the
detergent packet, fill the compartment accordingly and
close the lid. Remember that the instructions usually refer
to full-size dishwashers, for example when using detergent
tablets, it is sufficient to use just half a tablet. Pre-wash
detergent is poured into the smaller compartment to the left
when needed. This detergent is active allready at prerinsing. Make sure that there is no items that prevents the
lid from opening.
Only use detergents specially designed for dishwashers.
Rinse aid dispenser (5)
Use of rinse aid will result in cleaner and faster drying of
the load, since it helps water and soil to run off.
Too much rinse aid may result in streakiness, too little
may cause white spots. The dispenser holds about 150 ml.
This is enough for approx. 60 wash cycles, depending
on the dosage setting. Adjust the dosage setting according
to the hardness of the water.
You can set the dosage between 1 - 6, equivalent
to 1 - 6 ml rinse aid. Factory setting is 1.
Begin at the lowest dosage setting and increase
if necessary by turning the setting arrow with e.g.
the handle of a spoon.
The indicator light on the control panel is lit when the
dispenser requires refilling.
1. Open the lid to the dispenser by pressing the lid
catch towards the compartment and lift the lid.
2. Fill up with rinse aid; do not overfill.
3. Wipe off any spillage carefully to prevent excessive
foaming during the next wash programme.
4. Close the lid and press until it locks again.
Do not fill the rinse aid dispenser with liquid
detergent.
Water softener (6)
This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener for hard
water, therefore shall the rinse aid dispenser be set for a
low dosage. The lime in hard water causes white deposits
to occur on dishes and to the interior of the dishwasher.
To prevent this, the water has to pass through a special
container where the hardness is removed.
Since the water softener uses coarse dishwasher salt,
you will have to refill the salt container after a certain
number of dishwashing cycles.
It is extremely important, that the salt container
is filled up with the coarse dishwasher salt before
using the dishwasher for the first time, if you live
in an area where the water is calciferous.
The indicator light on the control panel is lit when the
container requires refilling.
1. Unscrew the filler cap to the salt container anticlockwise.
2. Fill the salt container with water (only the first
time).
3. Fill the container with coarse salt, using the
funnel supplied.
4. Remove the funnel and wipe off any spillage
around the filler opening.
5. Screw the filler cap back properly in place.
The water softener is now ready for the first load of dishes.
Always make sure that there is coarse grained salt in the
container, which holds about 1 litre.
How to adjust the water softener, see chapter ”Adjusting
the water softener”.
Use only special salt for dishwashing machines,
ordinary domestic salt can damage the water
softener.
Cleaning the dishwasher
Clean the outside surfaces of the appliance using a mild
(non-abrasive) household cleaning product. Finish by
removing remaining traces of the product with a damp cloth.
Do not use cleaning products which contain
alcohol (spirits), thinners and similar substances.
