Installation and servicing
● Installation must be carried out by persons with the
necessary knowledge and experience of water and
drainage connections in accordance with the instructions in these directions for use and installation.
● The power cord must be plugged into an earthed socket.
Permanent installation must only be carried out by an
authorized electrician.
● Water connection shall be made via an easily accessible
stopcock.
● Before performing any checks or repairs on the machine
it must be isolated from the electrical supply. To do this
the power plug must be removed from the wall socket.

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 authorized by the supplier. Use only
spare parts supplied by these. Never try to repair the

During Use
● This dishwasher is designed solely for washing house-

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.
● 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.
● After using the machine, turn off its water supply and
disconnect it from the power supply. When removing

Rinse conditioner dispenser (1)
Use of a rinse conditioner will result in cleaner and faster
drying of the load, since it helps water and soil 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.
Swivel out the filler trough and carefully fill up with rinse
conditioner until the level reaches up to the red mark on
the level indicator tube. Do not overfill and carefully wipe
off any spillage to prevent sudsing problems. Don't forget
the close the filler trough afterwards. 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.
Note! Do not fill the rinse conditioner 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
(left-hand thread) and lift off the spray arm. Clear the holes
and shake out any food remnants.
Coarse filter (3)
The purpose of the coarse strainer 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)
Only use detergents specially designed for dishwashers.
Pour the detergent into the compartment, for a normal load
about 1-2 tablespoons.
Water softener 6
This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener for hard
(chalky) water, therefore the rinse aid dispenser should
be set for a low dosage.
The lime (chalk) in hard water causes white deposits to
occur on dishes and the interior of the dishwasher.
To prevent this, the water has to pass through a special
container where its hardness is removed. Since the water
softener consumes coarse dishwasher salt, you will have
to replenish the salt container after a certain number of
dishwashing cycles. When the indicator lamp on the control panel lights up, it is time to fill up with salt.
Proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the salt container filler cap.
2. Fill up salt container with water (only the first time).
3. Fill the container with coarse salt. Use the funnel
supplied with the machine. Ordinary domestic salt will
affect the efficiency of the water softener and damage it.
4. Remove the funnel and wipe off any spillage.
5. Screw the filler cap back in place.
The salt container holds about 1 litre, which is enough for
about 20 - 30 dishwashing cycles. Always ensure that there
is water in the salt container before filling salt.
Water softener plug
As supplied from the factory, the water softener is set for
a water hardness of up to 20° dH. If your water is harder
than this, you can increase the capacity of the water softener by pulling out the rubber plug at the rear of the dishwasher on the left hand side viewed from the back.
See illustration.
Contact your local Water
Authority to find the exact
water hardness level for
your area.
