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,

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.
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)

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
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 use powder detergents in such programmes.
If you encounter problems when using combined
detergents, please contact the detergent
manufacturer.
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, remove the rinseaid compartment cap by turning it. Fill the
compartment with rinse aid until the level indicator
goes dark. Replace the cap and close it by turning it.
Be careful not to overfill the rinse aid compartment
and wipe up any spills.
The rinse-aid compartment has a level adjuster,
numbered 1 to 6, which controls how much rinse
aid is used in each wash.
The factory setting is "3".
If the dishes are not drying properly or are spotted,
increase the level. If blue stains form on your
dishes, decrease level. To do this, remove the cap
and rotate the indicator arrow setting then replace
the cap.
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,

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.
Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery
basket. Items should be loaded individually
into the appropriate slots with their handles
downwards. Long utensils should be placed
horizontally on the baskets.
WARNING: Take care not to obstruct
the rotation of spray arms.
Recommendations
Remove any coarse residue on dishes before
placing the dishes in the machine. Start the
machine with full load.
Alternative basket loads
Lower basket
Upper basket
Incorrect loads
NEVER overload the drawers or place dishes
in the wrong basket.
WARNING: Always place sharp
utensils with the sharp point down and open
utensils with their openings down.

Upper basket racks have two positions: open
(a) and closed (b). You can place
cups on the racks to be washed. You can
also place long forks, knives and spoons on
the racks laterally.

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
