Safety 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.
● 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 you take any dishes out of the dishwasher before the
end of the dishwashing cycle, it is extremely important
to rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove
any remaining detergent.
● Water connection shall be made via an easily accessible
stopcock.

socket, which need to be easily accessible. Permanent
installation must only be carried out by an authorised
electrician or competent person.
● 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 authorised by the manufacturer.
Use only spare parts supplied by these. Never try to
repair the dishwasher yourself.

● 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.

reach.
● Prevent children from sitting, swinging or standing
on the open door.

Spray arm (1)
It is important to keep all the holes in the spray arm clear.
clogged hole can seriously affect washing efficiency.
A
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.
3. Wipe off any spillage carefully to prevent excessive
oaming during the next wash programme.

Coarse filter/microfilter (2)
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. Turn the coarse filter anticlockwise. 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 filter.
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.
Water softener (6)
his dishwasher is equipped with a water softener for hard
T
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 important to fill the compartment with
coarse dishwasher salt before using the
machine 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 anti-
clockwise.
2. Fill the salt container with water (only the first
time).
3. Fill the container with coarse salt, using the
funnel supplied.
Only use detergents specially designed for
dishwashers.
Avoid frequent use of liquid detergents, as the
long term effects of such detergents create a
potential risk of increasing pump noise.
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.

lling.
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.
2. Fill up with rinse aid; do not overfill.
