First use
Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation
instructions
Remove all packaging from inside the appliance
Set the water softener
Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with dishwasher
salt
Fill the rinse aid dispenser
If you want to use combi detergent tablets such as: ‘3 in 1’, ‘4 in 1’, ‘5 in 1’ etc... set the Multi-tab function (see Multi-tab function).
Set the water softener
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. The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German degrees (°dH), French degrees (°TH) and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit for the hardness of water). The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area. The water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using the water hardness dial and electronically, using some of the programme buttons on the control panel

First use
Filling with dishwasher salt
Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers. All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. 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.
TToo ffiillll::
11..
Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt container by turning it anticlockwise.
22..
Pour 1 litre of water inside the container ((tthhiiss iiss nneecceessssaarryy oonnllyy bbeeffoorree ffiilllliinngg wwiitthh ssaalltt ffoorr tthhee ffiirrsstt ttiimmee))
.
33..
Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until the container is full.
44..
Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.
55..
Replace the cap tightly turning it clockwise until it stops with a click.
Do not worry if water overflows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal.
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.
14
First use
Filling with rinse aid
Rinse aid ensures thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse.
11..
Open the container by pressing the release button (A).
22..
Add the rinse aid in the container. The maximum level for filling is indicated by ‘max’.
The dispenser holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for between 16 and 40 dishwashing cycles, depending upon the dosage setting.
15
First use
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 dose is factory set in position 4. 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.
33..
Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash. 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.

Loading cutlery and dishes
Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water may not be washed in the dishwasher.
Before loading the dishes, you should:
- Remove all left over food and debris.
- Soften remnants of burnt food in pans
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.
Plastic items and pans with non stick coatings have a tendency to retain
water drops; these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel items.
Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be loaded in the upper basket and
arranged so they do not move.
17
Daily use
For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes
are not suitable:
Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-of-pearls
handles.
Plastic items that are not heat resistant.
Older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature
resistant.
Bonded cutlery items or dishes.
Pewter or copper items.

Steel items prone to rusting.
Wooden platters.
Items made from synthetics fibres.
are of limited suitability:
Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specially
marked as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.
Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently.
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.
18
Daily use
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
The lower basket
Load larger and heavily soiled dishes and pans in the lower basket.

Detergent tablets
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.
Multi-tab function
This appliance is equipped with the Multi-tab function, that allows the use of combi detergent tablets. These products are detergents with a combined cleaning, rinsing and salt functions. They can also contain other different agents depending on which kind of tablets you choose (‘3 in 1’, ‘4 in 1’, ‘5 in 1’ etc...) Check whether these detergents are suitable for your water hardness. See the manufacturers instructions. Once this function is selected it will remain active also for the following washing programmes. With the selection of this function the inflow of rinse aid and salt from each respective supply container is automatically deactivated and also the indicator lights for salt and rinse aid are deactivated. Select the Multi-tab function before the start of a washing programme. With the use of the Multi-tab function, the cycle durations may change. Once the programme is running, the ‘Multi-tab function’ can NO longer be changed. If you want to exclude the Multi-tab function you have to cancel the programme setting and then deactivate the Multi-tab function. In this case you have to set a washing programme (and desired options) again.

Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be allowed to
cool down before removing from the appliance.
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.
When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off.

Care and cleaning
Cleaning the filters
The filters must be checked and cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the washing result.
Before cleaning the filters ensure that the machine is switched off.
11..
Open the door, remove the lower basket.
22..
The dishwasher filter system comprises a coarse filter (BB), a microfilter (AA) and a flat filter. Unlock the filter system using the handle on the microfilter.
33..
Turn the handle about 1/4 a turn anticlockwise and remove the filter system.
44..
Take hold of the coarse filter (BB) by the handle with the hole and remove from the microfilter (AA).
55..
Clean all filters thoroughly under running water.
66..
Remove the flat filter from the base of the washing compartment and clean both faces thoroughly.
77..
Put the flat filter back in the base of the washing compartment and ensure that it fits perfectly.
88..
Place the coarse filter (BB) in the microfilter (AA) and press together.
99..
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.
NEVER use the dishwasher without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results and may result in damage to the appliance.
NNEEVVEERR ttrryy ttoo rreemmoovvee tthhee sspprraayy aarrmmss.. If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the spray arms, remove them with a cocktail stick.
External 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....).

Installation
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.
Remove all packaging before positioning the machine. If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain.
Fixing under a counter (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.
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.
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.
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.
The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable.
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.

Installation
Water supply connections
Connection to a cold water supply is advised. If connection is made to a hot water supply the maximum permissible temperature is 60°C. A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a lot. The dishwasher must not be connected to gravity feed hot water appliances or instantaneous water heaters. 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 or to a purpose made quick-coupling tap such as the Press-block. 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. The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled when it is being connected. 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.

(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 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.

Installation
Water inlet hose with safety valve
After connecting the double-walled water inlet hose, the safety valve is next to the tap. Therefore the water inlet hose is only under pressure while the water is running. If the water inlet hose starts to leak during this operation, the safety valve cuts off the running water.
PPlleeaassee ttaakkee ccaarree wwhheenn iinnssttaalllliinngg tthhee wwaatteerr iinnlleett hhoossee::
- The electrical cable for the safety valve is in the double-walled water inlet
hose. Do not immerse the water inlet hose or the safety valve in water.
- If water inlet hose or the safety valve is damaged, remove the mains plug
immediately.
- A water inlet hose with safety valve must only be replaced by a specialist or
by the Service Force Centre.
- Place the water inlet hose in such a way that it is never higher than the
bottom edge of the safety valve.

Installation
Water outlet hose connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following ways:
11..
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.
22..
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. The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the dishwasher 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. 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. 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.
When connecting the drain hose to an under sink trap spigot,
tthhee eennttiirree ppllaassttiicc
mmeemmbbrraannee ((AA)) mmuusstt bbee rreemmoovveedd
. Failure to remove all the membrane will result in food particles building up over time eventually blocking the dishwasher drain hose spigot.
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.
Electrical connection
Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed. Prior to using the appliance for the first time, ensure that the rated voltage and
type of supply on the rating plate match that of the supply where the appliance is to be installed. The fuse rating is also to be found on the rating plate.
Always plug the mains plug into a correctly installed shockproof socket. Multi-way plugs, connectors and extension cables must not be used. This could
constitute a fire hazard through overheating. If necessary, have the domestic wiring system socket replaced. In case that the
electrical cable has to be replaced, contact your local Service Force centre. The plug must be accessible after the appliance has been installed. Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable. Always pull the plug. The manufacturer accepts no liability for failure to observe the above safety
precautions.

Packaging material
The packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be recycled. The plastic components are identified by markings, e.g. >PE<, >PS<, etc. Please dispose of the packaging materials in the appropriate container at the community waste disposal facilities.
When a unit is no longer being used:
- Pull the plug out of the socket.
- Cut off the cable and plug and dispose of them.
- Dispose of the door catch. This prevents children from trapping themselves
inside and endangering their lives.
