Bringing it all together

Positioning your Dishwasher

When positioning the machine, place it in
an area where dishes can be easily loaded
and unloaded. Do not put the machine in an
area where the ambient temperature falls
below 0°C..

Read all warnings located on the packaging
before removing the packaging and
positioning the machine.

Place the machine close to a water tap
and drain. Take into consideration that the
connections will not be altered once the
machine is in position.

Do not hold the machine by its door or
panel.

Leave an adequate distance around the
machine to allow ease of movement when
cleaning.

Ensure the water inlet and outlet
hoses are not squeezed or trapped
and that the machine does not stand on the electrical
cable while positioning.

Adjust the feet so the machine is level and
balanced. The machine should be placed
on flat ground otherwise it will be unstable
and the door of the machine will not close
properly.

Water Inlet Hose

WARNING: Use the new water inlet hose
supplied with your machine, do not use an old
machine's hose.

WARNING: Run water through the new hose
before connecting.

WARNING: Connect the hose directly to the
water inlet tap. The pressure supplied by the tap
should be a minimum of 0.03MPa and a maximum
of 1 MPa If the pressure exceeds 1MPa, a pressure
relief valve must be fitted between the connection.

WARNING: After the connections are made,
turn the tap on fully and check for water leaks.
Always turn off the water inlet tap after a wash
program has finished.

Water connection

We recommend fitting a filter to your water
inlet supply in order to prevent damage to
your machine due to contamination (sand,
rust, etc.) from indoor plumbing. This will
also help prevent yellowing and deposit
formation after washing.

If you require any technical guidance or find that your product is not operating as intended, a simple solution can often be found in the Troubleshooting section of these instructions,
or online at www.argos-support.co.uk If you still require further assistance, call one of our experts on 0345 257 7271.

Fill the salt compartment with water the first time you
fill the salt compartment only.

Use softener salt specifically produced for use in
dishwashers.

When you start your dishwasher, the salt compartment
is filled with water, therefore put the softener salt in
prior to starting your machine.

If the softener salt has overflowed and you do not start
the machine immediately, run a short washing
program to protect your machine against corrosion.

Water Softener System

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener
which reduces the hardness in the mains water
supply. To find out the hardness level of your tap

water, contact your water company or use the
test strip (if available)

Setting

• Turn the knob to the "Off" position.

• Push the "Start/Pause" button and hold it

down.

• Turn the knob clockwise one step.

• Hold down the "Start/Pause" button until the

LED's flash and "SL" disappears.

• The machine will display the last setting.

• Set the level by pushing the "+" and "-"

buttons.

• Turn the knob to the "Off" position to save
the setting.

Using your Dishwasher

Before using the appliance

Detergent usage

Only use detergents specifically designed for
domestic dishwashers.
Add the recommended amount of detergent for the
selected programme to ensure the best
performance.
Keep your detergents in cool, dry places out of
reach of children.
See the detergent manufacturer's instructions for a
further information.

Filling the detergent

Push the latch to open the dispenser and
pour in the detergent.
Close the lid and press it until it locks in place. The
dispenser should be refilled just before the start of
each programme. If the dishes are heavily soiled,
place additional detergent in the pre-wash detergent
chamber.

DETERGENT

When you

stop using combined detergents, make
sure that water hardness and rinse aid settings are
set to correct level.

Rinse-aid usage

Rinse-aid makes dishes sparkle and helps them to
dry without spotting. Rinse-aid is required for stain­free utensils and clear glasses. Use only rinse-aid for
domestic dishwashers.

Filling the rinse-aid and setting

To fill the rinse aid compartment, open the
rinse-aid compartment cap. Fill the compartment
with rinse aid to the MAX level and then close
the cap. Be careful not to overfill the rinse aid
compartment and wipe up any spills.

In order to change the rinse aid level, follow
the below steps before turning on the
machine:

• Push the programme button and hold it
down.

• Turn on the machine.

• Hold down the programme button until “rA”
disappears from the display. Rinse aid setting
follows water hardness setting.

• The machine will display the last setting.

• Set the level by pushing the programme
button.

• Switch off the machine to save the setting.

• The factory setting is “4”.

If the dishes are not drying properly or are
spotted, increase the level. If blue stains form on

your dishes, decrease level.

Using

combined detergents

These products should be used according to the
manufacturer's instructions.

Never put combined detergents into the interior
section or the cutlery basket.

Combined detergents contain not only the
detergent but also rinse-aid, salt replacement
substances and additional components depending
on the combination.

We recommend you do not use combined detergents
in short programmes.

Please

If

use powder detergents in such programmes.

Loading your Dishwasher

For best results, follow these loading
guidelines.

We recommend that you place large items
(pots, pans, lids, plates and bowls) which
are heavily soiled in the lower basket.

The upper basket is designed for delicate
and lighter dishware such as glasses,
coffee and tea cups and saucers. Position the
dishes so that they will not get moved by the
spray of water.

Cleaning

Cleaning your Dishwasher is important to maintain the
machine’s service life.
Oil and limescale may build up in your Dishwasher
over time. If this occurs:

• Fill the detergent compartment but do not load
any dishes. Select a programme which runs at
high temperature and run the Dishwasher empty.
If this does not clean your Dishwasher sufficiently,
use a cleaning agent designed for use with
dishwashers.

• Wipe the door seals regularly with a damp cloth
to remove any accumulated residue.

Cleaning machine and filters

Clean the filters and spray arms at least once a week.
If any food waste remains on the coarse and fine
filters, remove them and clean them thoroughly with
water.
a) Micro Filter b) Coarse Filter
c) Metal Filter

• Never use your Dishwasher without a filter.

• Incorrect fitting of the filter will reduce the

washing effectiveness.

• Clean filters are necessary for proper running of
the machine.

Spray arms

Make sure that the spray holes are not clogged and that no
food waste is stuck to the spray arms. If there is any
clogging, remove the spray arms and clean them under
water. To remove the upper spray arm undo the nut
holding it in position by turning it clockwise and pulling it
downwards. Make sure that the nut is properly tightened
when refitting the upper spray arm.

pull and remove the metal filter (3).Rinse the filter with
lots of water until it is free of residue. Reassemble the
filters. Replace the filter insert, and rotate it clockwise

Please see the programme and consumption table for more information.

Rinse dirty dishes before placing them in the dishwasher.

Only use the Prewash programme when necessary.

Do not place the machine near a refrigerator because it will reach high temperatures.

If the machine is located in an area that is at risk of freezing, close the tap, disconnect the inlet hose from the tap
and drain the water inside the hose and the machine completely.
