Using your dishwasher
Before first use
o Install the appliance as per the installation instructions contained
within this booklet on pages 31-34.
o Fill the rinse aid dispenser and then fill the detergent dispenser.
Please refer to pages 10-13 for information.
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.
10
Page 11
o To access the rinse aid dispenser, you should turn the cap
anticlockwise to remove it and then slowly pour in liquid rinse
aid. The rinse aid dispenser will hold approximately 110 ml of
rinse aid.
o You should continue to fill with rinse aid, until the rinse aid
indicator (C) turns completely black. The black dot on the
indicator changes as the rinse aid diminishes.
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 securely into position.
o You should refill the rinse aid dispenser when the rinse aid
indicator (3) 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.
11
Page 12
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).
12
Page 13
o Open the lid that closes over the detergent dispenser, by
pushing the latch, and place the detergent inside of the
dispenser.
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. The MIN position indicates about 20g of
detergent.
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. This
compartment holds about 5g of detergent.
o Shut the detergent dispenser lid and press it down until it locks
in place.
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 wash program in combination with
concentrated detergents is economical and good for your dishes.
o This wash program is specifically matched to the dirt-dissolving
properties of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For
this reason a NORMAL wash program, in which concentrated
detergents are used, can achieve the same results as an
INTENSIVE program.
13
Page 14
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, longer programs should be selected when using
detergent tablets to ensure the complete removal of detergent
residues.
o 3 in 1 tablets should only be used during a 3 in 1 wash program.
If 3 in 1 tablets are used in other wash programs, the
performance will be far less effective.
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).
o You should position the cups and dishes 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.
14
Page 15
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.
o The height of the upper basket can be adjusted by removing the
upper basket from the guide supports.
o IMPORTANT: The upper basket must be empty when you are
removing it from the guide supports.
Lower position
o If the upper wheels are placed in the
guide supports, then the basket is in
the lower position.
o For accommodating additional tumblers, cups and mugs. You can
also place small, espresso sized cups on top of the side racks.
You should take care to ensure 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.
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.
15
Page 16
Upper position
o If the lower wheels are placed in
the guide supports, then the basket
is in the 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.
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.
IMPORTANT: Care should be taken to make sure that the spray
arms can move freely when items have been loaded into the
baskets.
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.
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.
16
Page 17
o The bottom rack has prongs at the
rear of the basket that can be
folded downwards, to allow for
easier loading of larger saucepans
and serving bowls.
The cutlery basket
Cutlery should be placed inside of the cutlery basket. The cutlery
basket should then be placed in the appropriate position in the lower
basket.
o For the best washing performance, cutlery should be placed
through the slots in the top of the cutlery basket.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow items of cutlery to fall
through the bottom of the cutlery basket, as this
may cause damage to the spray arm and/or the
cutlery. If the bottom of the basket begins to
deteriorate and allows items to fall through, you
should replace the cutlery basket.
17
Page 18
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.
o Small objects that are suitable for washing can be placed inside
of the cutlery basket.
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.
18
Page 19
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.

Page 24
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.
24
Page 25
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 anticlockwise and then lift it
upwards. Rinse out this
section under a tap to
remove any food debris
that remains in it.
2. Pull out the main filter and
rinse this under the tap to
remove any food debris
that is trapped in it.
3. Pull out the fine filter and
rinse this under the tap to
remove any food debris
that is trapped in it.
4. Place the fine filter back in its original position.
5. Place the main and coarse filter back into their original positions
in the base of the dishwasher. You must turn the coarse filter
clockwise to lock it back into position.
IMPORTANT: THE DISHWASHER SHOULD NEVER BE
SET ON A WASH CYCLE WITHOUT THE FILTERS BEING
INSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE.
25
