Using your dishwasher
Before first use
o Locate the appliance as per the installation instructions
contained within this booklet.
o Fill the water softener with 1 litre of tap water and then fill with
specialist dishwasher salt. After this you should set the water
softener level.
o Fill the rinse aid dispenser and then set the rinse aid dosage.
Filling with dishwasher salt
IMPORTANT: You should only use salt that is specially
designed for use in a dishwasher. If any other type of salt is
used in the appliance (in particular table salt), it will damage
the water softener.
o Ideally you should fill the water softener with salt, just before
you are about to run a wash program. This will help to clear any
salt that may have overflowed from the water softener during
the salt filling process.
o Open the door of the dishwasher and then remove the lower
basket. The basket should be empty when you remove it.
o Turn the salt container cap
anticlockwise and remove it.
o Pour 1 litre of water into the
water softener container.
IMPORTANT: It is only necessary
to do this when you fill the
container with salt for the first
time.
o Pour salt into the salt container,
using the funnel that is supplied
with the appliance. You should
add approximately 1.5 kg of salt
into the container.
12
Page 13
o It is perfectly normal for a small amount of water to come out of
the salt container, whilst you are filling it with salt. This does not
mean that the container is filled with the correct amount of salt.
o Refit and fully tighten the salt container cap.
o The salt required warning light will go out soon after
you have filled the salt container with salt. When the
salt indicator neon lights on the control panel, then you
should follow the filling with dishwasher salt procedure again.
o After filling the dishwasher with salt, it is recommended that you
run a RAPID program with no dishes loaded into the appliance to
remove any salt deposits which may have gotten into the
dishwasher interior.
o IMPORTANT: You do not need to pour 1 litre of water into
the container when you subsequently fill the water
softener with salt.
Setting the water softener level
It is possible to regulate the amount of salt that the water softener will
release during a wash cycle. The water softener should be set to a
level that is appropriate for the hardness of your water (please refer to
the table below).
WATER HARDNESS
°dH °fH °Clarke Mmol/l
0-5 0-9 0-6 0-0.94 H1 0 /
6-11 10-20 7-14 1.0-2.0 H2 20 60
12-14 21-30 15-21 2.1-3.0 H3 30 50

consumption
(gram/cycle)
Usage
(cycles/1kg)
To alter the amount of salt that is released by the water softener, you
should:-
o Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button (1).
o Press and hold the start/pause button (6) for about 5 seconds to
enter the water softener setting mode. This must be done within
60 seconds of turning the appliance on.
o Use the start/pause button (6) repeatedly to scroll through the
selector options.
13
Page 14
o When the display shows the correct selector option, press the
ON/OFF button (1) or release all buttons for 5 seconds and the
water softener level will be set.
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.
14
Page 15
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
2.
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.
15
Page 16
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.
16
Page 17
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
4) Large serving bowl
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 diagram above as a guide to the most appropriate way
to load the upper basket.
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.
17
Page 18
Position 2 (lower position)
o Press the handle on the side to lower the
basket.
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.
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.
18
Page 19
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.
5) Medium serving bowl
6) Small serving bowl
7) Dessert dishes
8) Dinner plates
9) Soup plates
10) Oval platter
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.
19
Page 20
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.
1) Soup spoons
2) Forks
3) Knives
4) Teaspoons
5) Dessert spoons
6) Serving spoons
7) Serving forks
8) Gravy ladles
o The loading methods shown above for the upper basket, lower
basket and cutlery basket are in accordance with the EN50242
testing cycle.
20
Page 21
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.
o Wooden platters.
o Synthetic fibre items.
21
Page 22
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.

according to the size and type of the load.
o The ECONOMY 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. £1 billion worth of energy is wasted in the
UK every year by people leaving appliances on standby.
28

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.
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 filter
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.
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.
29
Page 30
Cleaning the filters
For best performance and results, the entire filter assembly should be
thoroughly cleaned regularly (ideally after each wash cycle).
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
30
Page 31
arms back in their original positions.
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.
