Using your dishwasher
Before first use
o Install the appliance as per the installation instructions contained
within this booklet.
o Add 1.5Kg specialist dishwasher salt to the dishwasher water
softener compartment and then fill with tap water. 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 water softener cap
anticlockwise and remove it.
o Pour salt into the water softener
compartment using the funnel that is
supplied with the appliance. You should
add approximately 1.5 kg of salt into the
water softener.
o Then pour tap water into the water
softener until it fills.
o It is perfectly normal for a small amount
of water to come out of the water
softener compartment.
11 12
o Refit and fully tighten the water softener cap.
o The salt required warning light will go out approximately 2-6 hours
after you have filled the water softener with salt. When the salt
indicator neon lights on the control panel in the future, you should
follow the filling with dishwasher salt procedure again.
o IMPORTANT: You do not need to pour additional 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).

To alter the amount of salt that is released by the water softener, you
should:-
o Open the door and switch on the appliance.
o Press and hold the Start / Pause button for more than 5 seconds to
enter the water hardness selection mode. You must enter the water
hardness selection mode within 60 seconds of turning on the
appliance.
o The salt and rinse aid neons will flash on the control panel
o Press the Start / Pause button to scroll through the water harness
selection options. Please see the table above for full details.
o When you have selected the correct water hardness level, you
should press the power button to complete set up.
o IMPORTANT: If you are using 3 in 1 dishwasher tablets and live in
a medium or hard water area, then you should still fill the water
softener with salt.
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.
To access the rinse aid dispenser, you should turn the cap
anticlockwise and it will pop out of the hole (1). Then slowly pour in
liquid rinse aid (2), the rinse aid dispenser will hold approximately 110
ml of rinse aid.
o You should continue to fill with rinse aid, until the level indicator
turns completely black.
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 (3).
o You should refill the rinse aid dispenser when the rinse aid indicator
neon 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 Open the lid that closes over the detergent dispenser (1) and
place the detergent inside of the dispenser (2).
14
o The left section displayed in the
diagram (A) 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 right section displayed in the diagram (B) 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 firmly to ensure that it clips into
place
o At the relevant stage of a wash cycle the lid will open and the
tablet/powder/liquid will enter the dishwasher.
Loading the upper basket
The upper basket is most suited to washing delicate and light
dishware, such as glasses, cups & mugs, saucers, plates, bowls and
shallow pans (that are not heavily soiled).
1. Cups
2. Saucers
3. Glasses
6. 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.
IMPORTANT: Care should be taken when placing long
stemmed glassware, such as champagne glasses in the
upper basket. If they are not positioned correctly, then
there is a risk that they may topple over when the upper
basket is pushed in or pulled out.
