• Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions
• Remove all packaging from inside the appliance
• Set the water softener level
• Pour 1 litre of water into 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... follow the instructions
given in "Use of detergent".
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 two
ways: manually, using the water hardness dial and electronically.
Water hardness Adjusting the water hardness setting Use of
salt
°dH °TH mmol/l manually electronically
51 - 70 91 - 125 9,1 - 12,5 2 level 10 yes

and turn the programme knob clockwise
5
Page 6
until the programme marker corresponds
with the first washing programme.
3. Release the start/cancel button. The On/
Off indicator light and the start/cancel indicator light start to flash. This means that
you have activated the water softener
setting function.
4. Simultaneously the End indicator light
starts to flash.
The current level is indicated by the number of flashes of the End indicator light
and a pause of about 3 seconds.
Examples:
5 flashes, pause, 5 flashes, pause, etc. =
level 5
6 flashes, pause, 6 flashes, pause, etc. =
level 6
5. To change the level, press the start/cancel button. Each time the button is
pressed the level changes.
Examples:

cancel button once, level 1 is selected.
6. To memorize the operation, switch off the
dishwasher by returning the programme
knob to the Off position.
Use of dishwasher salt
Warning!
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.
To fill:
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket
and unscrew the cap of the salt container
by turning it anticlockwise.
2. Pour 1 litre of water into the container
(this is necessary only before filling
with salt for the first time) .
3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt
until the container is full.
4. Replace the cap making sure that there
is no trace of salt on the screw thread or
on the gasket.
5. 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 salt that takes longer
to dissolve then this can take longer.
The operation of the machine is not
affected.

Use of rinse aid
Warning! 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.
Rinse aid ensures thorough rinsing, and
spot and streak free drying.
Rinse aid is automatically added during
the last rinse.
1. Open the container by pressing the release button (A).
2. 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 washing cycles, depending upon the
dosage setting.
3. 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.
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.

Daily use
• Check if it’s necessary to refill with
dishwasher salt or rinse aid.
• Load cutlery and dishes into the
dishwasher.
• Fill with dishwasher detergent.
• Select a wash programme suitable for the
cutlery and dishes.
• Start the wash programme.
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 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.
For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes
are not suitable: are of limited suitability:
• 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.
• 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 saucepan, 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
Long bladed knives stored in an upright
position are a potential hazard. Long
and/or sharp items of cutlery such as
carving 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.
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.
9
Page 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 freely.
Adjusting the height of the upper basket
If washing very large plates you can load
them in the lower basket after moving the
upper basket to the higher position.
Maximum height of the dishes in the lower
basket
With upper basket
raised
30 cm
With upper basket
lowered
29 cm
To move to the higher position proceed
as follows:
1. Pull out the basket until it stops.
2. Hold the upper basket by the handle on
the side.
3. Carefully lift up the basket until it stops.
4. Lower it vertically. The mechanism will
engage the basket in the higher or lower
position.
After loading your machine always
close the door, as an open door can
be a hazard.
Use of detergent
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers.
Please observe the manufacturer’s dosing and storage recommendations as
stated on the detergent packaging.
Using no more than the correct amount
of detergent contributes to reducing pollution.
Fill with detergent
1. Open the lid.
10
Page 11
2. Fill the detergent dispenser (1) with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing
levels:
20 = approximately 20 g of detergent
30 = approximately 30 g of detergent.
3. All programmes with prewash need an
additional detergent dose (5/10 g) that
must be placed in the prewash detergent
chamber (2).
This detergent will be used during the
prewash phase.
When using detergent tablets; place the
tablet in compartment (1)
4. Close the lid and press until it locks in
place.
1
2
Detergent tablets from different manufacturers 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 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.).
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 indicator light will always remain illuminated
when the machine is switched on.
2. 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.
3. Adjust the water hardness setting according to the hardness of the water in
your area.
4. Adjust the rinse aid dosage.
Select and start a washing programme
1. Check that the baskets have been loaded
correctly and that the spray arms are free

2. Open the dishwasher door, leave it ajar
and wait a few minutes before removing
the dishes; in this way they will be cooler
and the drying will be improved.
Unloading the dishwasher
• 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.

Care and cleaning
Cleaning the filters
The filters must be checked and cleaned
from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the
washing result.
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 (B) and a flat
filter. Unlock the filter system using the
handle on the microfilter.
13
Page 14
3. Turn the handle about 1/4 a turn anti-
clockwise and remove the filter system
4.
Take hold of the coarse filter (A) by the
handle with the hole and remove from the
microfilter (B).
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
(B) 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.
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
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 solvent (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 using detergent but without dishes.
Prolonged periods of non-operation
If you are not using the machine for a prolonged period of time you are advised to:
1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off
the water.
2. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any unpleasant smells.
3. Leave the inside of the machine clean.
Frost precautions
Avoid placing the machine in a location
where the temperature is below 0°C. If this is
unavoidable, empty the machine, close the
appliance door, disconnect the water inlet
pipe and empty it.
Moving the machine
If you have to move the machine (moving
house etc...):
1. Unplug it.
2. Turn the water tap off.

Installation
Warning! 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.
This dishwasher is designed to be fitted under a kitchen counter or work surface.

Page 18
Attention! Carefully follow the instructions
on the enclosed template for building in the
dishwasher and fitting the furniture 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.
The dishwasher incorporates adjustable feet
to allow the adjustment of the height.
During all operations that involve accessibility
to internal components the dishwasher has
to be unplugged.
When inserting the machine, ensure that the
water inlet hose, the drain hose and the supply cable are not kinked or squashed.
Fixing to the adjacent units
The dishwasher must be secured against tilting.
Therefore make sure that the counter it is
fixed under, is suitably secured to a fixed
structure (adjacent kitchen units cabinets,
wall).
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.
Water connection
Water inlet connection
This 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 connection 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 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 inlet and drain hoses 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.
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 minutes before connecting the inlet hose.
DO NOT use connection hoses which
have previously been used on an old appliance.
This appliance has been fitted with
safety features which will prevent the
water used in the appliance from returning back into the drinking water system.
This appliance complies with the applicable plumbing regulations.
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.
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. This will
prevent waste water from the sink running into the machine.
2. To a stand pipe provided with venthole,
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 drain 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, the entire plastic mem-
brane (A) must be removed. 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.
To avoid water leakage after installation
make sure that the water couplings are
tight.

Electrical connection
Warning! 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.
