Using your dishwasher

Before first use

o Locate the appliance as per the installation instructions

contained within this booklet.

o Fill the rinse aid dispenser and then set the rinse aid dosage.

Filling with rinse aid

The rinse aid is released during the final rinse and it helps
to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes.
These droplets will lead to spots and streaks being left on
items after the wash program has completed.

o Your dishwasher is designed to utilise liquid rinse aid.
o The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the drop down door,

next to the detergent dispenser.

o To access the rinse aid dispenser, you should turn the cap

anticlockwise and it will pop out of the hole. Then slowly pour in
liquid rinse aid, the rinse aid dispenser will hold approximately
110 ml of rinse aid.

o Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, as this could cause

oversudsing when a wash program is selected. Wipe away any
rinse aid excess or spillages with a damp cloth.

o Replace the cap and turn it clockwise until it locks into position.

o You should refill the rinse aid dispenser when the

rinse aid indicator lights on the control panel.

o IMPORTANT: If you are using 3 in 1 dishwasher

tablets then you should still fill the rinse aid dispenser.

13

Setting the rinse aid level

The amount of rinse aid that the dishwasher requires also depends on
the hardness of your water. You should experiment with the rinse aid
setting, until you find a level that gives the best results.

o On the first wash cycle, we

would recommend that the
rinse aid level is set to number

4.

o If you get water spots and

poor drying performance, then
you should turn the arrow
anticlockwise and increase the
setting to the next number.

o You should continue to adjust the rinse aid level upwards until

you get no water spots.

o If you get cloudiness or streaking on your dishes, the rinse aid

level is set too high and it is causing foaming during the wash
cycle. Turn the arrow clockwise and lower the setting to the next
number.

Filling with dishwasher detergent

The detergent dispenser must be refilled at the start of each wash
cycle (apart from the Rinse wash program).

o Push the latch on the side of the dispenser to open the lid and

place the detergent inside of the dispenser.

14

o The section marked A in the diagram is for the main wash cycle

detergent. Only one detergent tablet should be placed in the
dispenser at any one time. If you are using detergent powder or
liquid, you should follow the detergent manufacturer’s
recommendations.

o The section marked B in the diagram can have separate

detergent placed in it for any wash cycle that has a pre-wash
element to it, however this is optional. This must be a liquid or
powder detergent, not another detergent tablet.

o Shut the detergent dispenser lid and position the clip on the

outer edge, so that it holds the lid shut.

o At the beginning of a wash cycle the clip will open and the

tablet/powder/liquid will enter the dishwasher.

Concentrated detergent

o The use of the NORMAL program with concentrated detergents

reduces pollution and is good for your dishes.

o The NORMAL program is specifically matched to the dirt-

dissolving properties of the enzymes of concentrated detergents.
For this reason, the NORMAL program with concentrated
detergent can achieve the same result as the INTENSIVE
program.

Detergent tablets

o Different brands of detergent tablets dissolve at different speeds.

For this reason, some detergent tablets cannot dissolve and
develop their full cleaning power during short programs.

o Therefore, please use longer programs when using detergent

tablets to ensure the complete removal of detergent residues.

15

Loading the upper basket

The upper basket is most suited to washing delicate and light
dishware, such as glasses, coffee & tea cups, saucers, plates, bowls
and shallow pans (that are not heavily soiled).

1) Cups

2) Saucers

3) Glasses

o You should position the dishes and cookware in such a way that

they are not moved by the spray of water during the wash cycle.

o Use the diagrams above as a guide to the most appropriate way

to load the upper basket.

16

Adjusting the upper basket

Your dishwasher has an adjustable upper basket which you can alter to
the most suitable position for the items you are going to wash in the
upper basket.

The height of the upper basket can be adjusted by pulling the handle
on either side of the basket upwards until it clips into place.

Position 1 (upper position)

o For accommodating items such as glass

tumblers and wine glasses. Wine glasses
should be placed upside down, so that the
stem of the glass rests in one of the
grooves on the side flap.

Position 2 (lower position)

o For accommodating additional tumblers,

cups and mugs. You can also place small,
espresso sized cups on top of the side
racks. Care should be taken to make sure
that there is enough clearance between the
top of the cups placed on top of the side
racks and the underneath of the dishwasher
interior.

o Please note that when the basket is in the upper position, you

cannot have the side flaps in a raised position. Otherwise the
basket will not slide back into the interior of the dishwasher.

17

Folding back the cup shelves

o For easier stacking of pots and pans, the cup shelf spikes can be

folded down as shown in the image below.

Loading the lower basket

The lower basket is most suited to washing larger and more heavily
soiled items, such as saucepans, saucepan lids and serving dishes. You
can also load bowls and a variety of plates into the lower basket.

4) Dinner plates

5) Soup plates

6) Dessert dishes

18

o Saucepans and serving bowls must always be placed with their

bases upwards.

o Deep saucepans should be slanted, to allow water to run off.
o The bottom rack has foldable racks at the rear of the basket that

can be folded downwards, to allow for easier loading of larger
saucepans and serving bowls.

Foldable racks

To make it easier to load saucepans, the
racks in the lower basket can be folded
downwards.

The cutlery basket

Cutlery should be placed inside of the cutlery basket. The cutlery
should be placed separately from each other to ensure thorough
cleaning. Long utensils should be placed in the middle of the basket.

19

1) Forks

2) Soup spoons

3) Dessert spoons

4) Teaspoons

5) Knives

o The loading methods shown above for the upper basket, lower

basket and cutlery basket are in accordance with the
AS/NZS2007.1 testing cycle.

Loading dishes and cutlery

Household cloths, sponges or any other object that
may absorb water SHOULD NOT be washed in a
dishwasher.

o Remove leftovers and soften the remnants of burnt food in pans,

prior to loading dishes in the appliance.

o Once the dishwasher has been loaded, check that the spray arms

can move freely. If the spray arm comes into contact with any
item, then you should rearrange the wash load.

o Cups, glasses, pans etc. should all be loaded with their bases

upwards, so that water does not collect inside of them.

o Cutlery and dishes should not cover each other; otherwise you

may get poor wash results.

o Do not allow glasses to touch inside the dishwasher, otherwise

damage may occur.

The following items are NOT suitable for washing
inside a dishwasher:-

o Cutlery with a handle of mother-of-pearl, wood, horn or china.
o Plastic items that are not resistant to heat.
o Cutlery that consists of glued parts that are not resistant to heat.
o Cutlery items or crockery that are bonded.
o Copper or pewter items.
o Lead crystal glass.

20

o Wooden platters.
o Synthetic fibre items.

The following items are not always suitable for
washing inside a dishwasher:-

o Stoneware should only be washed if the manufacturer of the

item has marked it as dishwasher safe.

o Plastic items (such as lunchboxes) should only be washed if the

manufacturer has marked it as dishwasher safe.

o Glazed crockery may fade with repeated washing inside of a

dishwasher.

o Items made of silverware or aluminium can discolour when

washed inside a dishwasher.

o Any food residue should be removed from silver items

immediately, as this can also result in discolouration.

o Certain types of glass may become dull or cloudy after a large

number of washes.

Program table

o The NORMAL program is suitable for cleaning a typical load of

dirty dishes and is the most efficient in terms of its combined
energy and water consumption.

22

Setting a wash program

Make sure that the before first use section has been
followed.

o Check whether the appliance needs rinse aid adding to it.
o Pull out the top and bottom baskets, then load them in

accordance with the loading instructions.

o Push the top and bottom baskets fully back into position.
o Add detergent.
o Close the door firmly, so that you hear the door lock click shut.
o Turn the appliance on by using the ON/OFF button (1).
o IMPORTANT: Wait for 5 seconds before pressing the

program selection button, otherwise the appliance may
not function correctly.

o Press the program button (4) repeatedly to choose an

appropriate wash program for the load that you are washing.
The relevant program icon will light to show which cycle has

have already been released and will need to be refilled or the
machine may have already filled with hot water.

o To stop the current program, press the start/pause button (6).

23

o Then press and hold the program button (4) for about 3 seconds

to cancel the current program. You can then proceed to choose
another program.

o If you open the door during a wash cycle, the machine will

automatically pause to allow you to add or remove dishes. The
program light will stop blinking and a buzzer will sound every
minute until the door is closed again.

o When the door is closed again, the appliance will continue

working after 10 seconds.

WARNING: Be careful when opening the dishwasher door as
hot steam can escape and cause burns. Care should also be
taken to ensure the dishes are not too hot to handle.

WARNING: You should NEVER open the dishwasher door when
the appliance has filled with water as the hot water may scald
you.

At the end of a wash program

o At the end of a wash program, an audible signal will sound for 8

seconds.

o Use the ON/OFF button (1) to switch the dishwasher off.
o IMPORTANT: You should leave the appliance for 15 minutes

BEFORE opening the door. This will allow the steam generated
from the final rinse(s) to dry the dishes and allow the dishes to
cool.

o Carefully open the door of the appliance and leave it ajar for a

few minutes and allow any remaining steam to disperse.

o WARNING: Hot steam may escape when the door is first

opened, so care should be taken.

o Unload the dishwasher; you should take care in case any of the

items are still warm.

o It is recommended that you empty the lower basket first to avoid

any water from the upper basket dripping down and leaving
marks on dishes in the lower basket.

o IMPORTANT: If you leave the door of the dishwasher shut and

do not unload the dishwasher for a prolonged period of time,
then you may get water droplets reforming on the washload.

24

you want to delay the wash program by. The time that you have
selected will appear in the LED display.

o You can delay the start of the wash cycle by a maximum of 24

hours. When the LED display shows the correct start time, press
the start/pause button (6) to begin the countdown.

o Once the period of time that you set has passed, the dishwasher

will start the wash program that you selected automatically.

25

The Alt function

The alt or half load function can be used when you only need to wash
crockery in one basket. This function allows less water and energy
consumption during the program.

o Check whether the appliance needs rinse aid adding to it.
o Pull out the top or lower basket, and then load it in accordance

with the loading instructions.

o Push the basket fully back into position.
o Add detergent.
o Close the door firmly, so that you hear the door lock click shut.
o Turn the appliance on by using the ON/OFF button (1).
o Press the program button (4) repeatedly to choose an

appropriate wash program for the load that you are washing.
The relevant program icon will light on the display to show which
program has been selected.

of the button will light the relevant icon on the LED display to
show which spray arm has been selected to wash dishes in the
upper or lower basket.

o Press the start/pause button (6) and after a few seconds, you

will hear the appliance begin to fill with water and the wash
program will have started.

The safety lock

The dishwasher is supplied with a safety lock which can be used to
prevent accidental usage of the control panel buttons by unauthorised
persons such as children.

o To activate the safety lock, press and hold the safety lock button

(2) and the delay start button (3) for about 3 seconds.

o The safety lock icon will light on the display to show that the

feature has been activated. All buttons on the control panel will
be inoperable.

26

o To deactivate the safety lock, repeat the same process. The

safety lock icon will no longer be lit on the display and all
buttons on the control panel will be operable again.

Saving energy using your dishwasher

Loading dishes

o Refer to the relevant section of this manual for instructions on

placing items in the dishwasher for the most efficient cleaning.

o Only run the dishwasher when it is full for optimum energy and

water usage. Or use the alternative wash function for smaller
loads.

o Check the program table to select the most efficient program

according to the size and type of the load.

o The NORMAL program washes your items at a lower temperature

and uses less water during the cycle. That is better for the
environment and helps to cut energy costs as well as your water
bill if you’re on a water meter.

Usage

o Clean the filters regularly both to keep the dishwasher clean and

to maintain its efficiency.

o Always remember to switch the appliance off standby when you

have finished using it.

o You do not need to rinse dishes off before loading. If you prefer

to pre-rinse, use cold water on your dishes before loading them
but do not waste water by letting it run continuously.

o Use the shorter and lower temperature cycles for everything but

the dirtiest dishes. Shorter cycles use less energy and work just
as well. Modern detergents also work just as well at lower
temperatures.

27

Cleaning and maintenance

IMPORTANT: The appliance should be disconnected
from your mains supply before commencing any
cleaning process.

The filter system

Your appliance is fitted with three levels of filtering; these are located
in the base of the dishwasher for ease of access.

1) Main filter

2) Coarse filt er

3) Fine filter

Main filter- Food and soil particles are trapped by this filter and

pulverised by a special jet on the lower spray arm.
This debris is then washed down the drain.

Coarse filter- Larger items such as pieces of bone or glass, which

could clog the drain, are trapped in this filter.

Fine filter- This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump

area and prevents it from being redeposited on the
dishes during a wash cycle. The filter should be
cleaned every 2-3 washes to avoid poor wash
performance.

IMPORTANT: Whilst the filtering system is efficient, your
dishwasher is not a waste disposal unit. All items being
washed inside of the dishwasher should have food scraps
removed from them before being loaded into the appliance.

28

Cleaning the filters

For best performance and results, the entire filter assembly should be
thoroughly cleaned regularly.

1. Turn the coarse filter anti-clockwise and then lift it upwards.
Rinse the filter sections under a tap to remove any food debris
that remains in them.

2. Replace all three of the filters into their original positions. You
must turn the coarse filter clockwise to lock it back into position.

IMPORTANT: If a glass gets smashed inside of the appliance,
you must check there is no glass in the filter before the
machine is used again as this can cause a drainage failure.

IMPORTANT: THE DISHWASHER SHOULD NEVER BE
SET ON A WASH CYCLE WITHOUT THE FILTERS BEING
INSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE.

Cleaning the spray arms

The spray arms should be cleaned regularly, to prevent hard water
deposits from clogging the spray arm jets and bearings.

o To remove the upper spray arm,

hold the nut and rotate the arm
clockwise to remove it.

o To remove the lower spray arm,

gently pull it upwards.

o Wash the spray arms in warm,

soapy water and use a soft brush
to clean the jets.

o Rinse the spray arms thoroughly

and then reassemble the spray

arms back in their original positions.

29

Cleaning the control panel

IMPORTANT: Do not use any abrasive cleaner or household polish on
either the control panel or operating parts.

o Wipe over the control panel using a brand new damp cloth with

warm water.

Cleaning the door

o To clean the edge around the outside of the door, you should use

a soft, damp cloth only.

o To prevent water from penetrating the door lock or electrical

components, DO NOT use a spray cleaner of any kind.

o DO NOT use any abrasive cleaner or scouring pads on the inner

or outer surfaces, as they may cause damage to them.

Cleaning the seals

o If any food remnants get trapped in the seals, it can cause

odours to form in the appliance. Periodic cleaning of the seals
using a damp sponge will prevent this from occuring.

Long periods of not in use

If you are not going to be using your dishwasher for a long period of
time, the following steps should be taken:

o It is recommended that you run a wash cycle with no dishes

loaded into the appliance to clean the interior.

o Unplug the machine from the electrical socket and turn off the

water supply.

o Leave the door of the diswasher slightly open to maintain the

seals and prevent odours from forming within the appliance.

30

Error code failure system

If your appliance senses that it is not operating correctly, then an error
code may appear in the display window.

The following error codes can possibly be remedied by the customer
and the steps outlined below should be followed.

BEFORE COMPLETING ANY MAINTAINEANCE ON THE
APPLIANCE, IT SHOULD BE DISCONNECTED FROM YOUR MAINS
POWER SUPPLY.

E1
o Longer than expected fill time or drain time.

9 Check the water pressure of your mains water supply.
9 Clean the mesh filter that sits in the inlet hose.
9 Ensure that the inlet hose is not kinked or crushed.
9 Make sure the water tap that the machine is connected to is turned

on fully.

9 Check that the outlet hose is not kinked or crushed and that it’s
