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 ap-

pliance

• Set the water softener level

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 hard-

ness

is

measured in equ

iva

lent scales, Ger-

man degrees

(dHO), French degrees (OT

H)

and mmol

/I

(millimol per litre - international

unit for the hardness of water).

Helpful hints and tips

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 irnpede the

rotation of the spray arms.

• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-of­pearls 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.

• Lead crystal glass.

• Steel items prone to rusting.

• Wooden platters.

• Items made from synthetics fibres.

- 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.

• 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.

Load cutlery and dishes

The lower basket

The lower basket

is

designed

to

take sauce-

pan,

lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.

The rows of prongs on the right side

in

the

lower basket can

lie

flat to allow you

to

load

pots, pans and bowls.

The cutlery basket

ill

Long bladed knives stored

in

an upright

. position are a

potential hazard. Long
and/or sharp items of cutlery such as
caNing knives must be positioned
horizontally in the upper basket. Take
care when

loading or unloading sharp

items such as knives.

Forks and spoons must be

placed

in

the
removable cutlery basket with the handles
facing downwards and the knives with their
handles facing upwards.

9

If

the handles protrude from the bottom of the

basket, obstructing the

lower spray arm, load

the cutlery with the handles facing upwards.

Mix spoons with other

cutlery to prevent

them from sticking together.

For best

results we recommend that you use

the

cutlery grids

(if

the size and dimensions

of the

cutlery allow

it).

For larger utensils use only 1 grid.

The upper basket

The upper basket

is

designed for saucers,
salad bowls, cups, glasses, pots and lids.
Arrange items on and underneath the cup
racks so that water can reach

all

surfaces.

10

Glasses with long stems can be placed up­side down

in

the cup racks. For taller items

the cup racks can be

folded upwards .

Before closing the door, ensured that

the spray arms can rotate

rn

Detergent tablets from different manu-

facturers 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.

Use of combi detergent tablets

These products are detergents with a com-

bined 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

...

).

1. Check whether these detergents are
suitable for your water hardness. See the

manufacturers instructions.

The refilling of the salt container and the

rinse aid dispenser are no longer
necessary.

In

this case the rinse aid indi-

cator light will always remain illuminated

when the machine

is

switched on.

Select the lowest setting for water hard­ness and rinse aid dosage.

If the drying results are not satisfactory

we

recommend that you:

1.

Fill

up the rinse aid dispenser with rinse

aid.

2.

Set the rinse aid dosage to position 2.

If you decide to turn back to the use of
standard detergent system we advise

that you:

1.

Fill

up the dispensers for salt and rinse aid

again.

2.

Adjust the water hardness setting to the

highest setting and perform 1 normal
washing programme without loading any
dishes.

Care and cleaning

Cleaning the filters

The filters must be checked and cleaned

from time

to

time. Dirty filters will degrade the

washing resul

t.

ill

Warning! Before cleaning the filters

ensure that the machine

is

switched off.

1.

Open the door, remove the lower basket.

2.

The dishwasher filter system comprises a
coarse filter (A

),

a microfilter (8) and a flat
filter. Unlock the filter system using the
handle on the microfilter.

14

A

-'H-

--B

3. Turn the handle about 1/4 a turn anti-

clockwise and rernove the filter systern

4. Take

hold of the coarse filter

(A)

by the
handle with the hole and rernove from the
microfilter (8

).

5. Clean

all

filters thoroughly under running

water.

6. Remove the flat filter from the base of the
washing compartment and

clean both

faces

thoroughly.

\

7. Put the flat filter back

in

the base

of

the
washing compartment and ensure that it
fits perfectly.

8. Place the coarse filter (A)

in

the microfilter

(8) and press together.

9. 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.

rn

NEVER use the dishwasher without fil­ters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting

of
the filters will produce poor washing re­sults and will result

in

damage

to

the

appliance

rn

NEVER try to remove the spray

arms.

If

residues

of

soil have clogged the holes

in

the spray arms, remove the debris

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

sol-

vent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc

...

).

Internal cleaning

Ensure that the seals around the door, the
detergent and rinse aid dispensers are
cleaned regularly with a

damp

cloth.
We recommend every 3 months you run the
wash programme for heavy

soiled dishes us-

ing deterge nt but wit hout dishes.

Prolonged periods of non-operation

If

you are not using the machine for a pro-

longed period

of

time you are advised to:

1.

Unplug the appliance and then turn off

the water.

2.

this appliance should be carried out

by a

qualified electrician and/or

plumber or competent person.

Remove

all

machine.
If

possible, position the machine next to a

water tap and a drain.

This dishwasher

is

designed to be fitted un-

der a kitchen counter or work surface.

Attention! Carefully follow the instructions

on the

enclosed template for building

in

the

dishwasher and

fitting the fumiture panel.
No further openings for the venting of the
dishwasher are

required, but only to let the

water

fill

and drain hose and power supply

cable pass through.

Arrangement lower basket

Arrangement

cutlery basket

The dishwasher incorporates adjustable feet
to

allow the adjustment of the height.

During

all

operations that involve accessibility
to intemal components the dishwasher has
to be

unplugged.
When inserting the machine, ensure that the
water

inlet hose, the drain hose and the sup-

ply cable are not kinked or squashed.

Fixing to the adjacent units

The dishwasher must be secured against tilt ­ing.
Therefore make sure that the counter it

is

fixed under,

is

suitably secured

to

a fixed
structure (adjacent kitchen units cabinets,
wall).

Leve

ng

Good levelling

is

essential for correct closure

and sealing of the door.

18

When the appliance

is

correctly levelled, the

door will not catch on either side of the cabi-

net.

Water connection

Water inlet connection

Th

is

dishwasher may be fed with either hot

(max.

60

°)

or cold water. Nevertheless we
advise you use a cold water supply.
A hot water supply

is

not always efficient with
heavily soiled crockery as it shortens the
washing programmes a lot.
For making the connectlon itself, the cou­pling nut fitted to the machine's inlet 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 data". Your local Wa-

ter 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 inlet and drain ho-

ses which can be turned either to the left or
the right to suit the installation by means of
the locknut.

The locknut must be

correctly fitted to avoid

water

leaks.

rn

Attention! NOT

all

models of dishwash­ers have inlet and drain hoses provided
with a locknut.

In

this case, this facility

is

not available.

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 mi-

nutes before connecting the inlet hose.

DO NOT use connection hoses which
have

previously been used on an old

ap-

pliance.

rn

Th

is

appliance has been fitted with
safety features which will prevent the
water used

in

the appliance from return-

ing back into the drinking water system.

This appliance complies with the appli-

cable plumbing regulations.

Water inlet hose with safety valve

After connecting the double-walled water in-

let 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 wa-

If

the door does not close correctly, loosen
or tighten the adjustable feet until the ma­chine

is

perfectly level.

ter inlet hose starts to leak during this opera­tion, the safety valve cuts off the running
water.
Please take care when installing the water
inlet hose:

• 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 the

Service Force

Centre.

Warning! Dangerous voltage

Water drain connection

The end of the drain hose can be connected
in

the following ways:

1.

To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to the
underside of the work surface.

Th

is

will
prevent waste water from the sink run­ning into the machine.

2.

To a stand pipe provided with venthole,
minimum internal diameter 4 crn.

The waste connection must be at a height of
between

30 cm

(mi

nimum) and 100 cm
(maximum) from the bottom of the
dishwasher.

I:;::

.

The drain hose can face either

to

the right or
left of the dishwasher
Ensure the drain hose

is

not bent or

squashed as this

could prevent or slow down

t

he

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.
