Choose where you want to install your
dishwasher, you can place it so that its
sides or back panel are side by side with
furniture or up against the wall. The
dishwasher is provided with water supply
and drain hoses, which can be directed
towards the left or right to facilitate
appropriate installation.
Levelling.
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust
the feet by screwing them in or out
depending on how high you want it and
to level it so that it is horizontal. Make
sure that it is not inclined more than 2
degrees. If the appliance is level, it will
help ensure its correct operation.
Height Adjustment
Insert the appliance into the cutout and
then adjust the height using the screws
located on the front bottom part of the
machine. Use a screwdriver to turn the
screws in the clockwise or anti-clockwise
direction to increase or decrease the
height respectively.
Cold water connection.
Connect the cold water supply hose,
inserting the small filter supplied with the
dishwasher and making sure that it is
fastened tightly in place (see figure 2). If
the water hoses are new or have been
out of use for an extended period of time,
let the water run to make sure it is clear
and free of impurities before making the
connection. If this precaution is not taken,
the water inlet could get blocked, causing
damage to your dishwasher.
A
Fig.2
Drain hose connection.
WARNING: Connect your dishwasher
drain hose to pipes which connect to the
foul drain system and not to surface
water drains.
IMPORT ANT: For the correct operation
of your dishwasher, it is essential to
comply with the following information:-
Standpipe:
Ensure that the hose is not pushed too
far down the standpipe.
If the end of your drain hose is fitted with
‘retaining flaps’, ensure they are inserted
fully into the standpipe. This will prevent
the pipe from jumping out during
installation and use.
DO NOT position the standpipe near an
electrical outlet.
ENSURE that the drain hose is not
kinked and it is routed as shown in the
diagram.
The standpipe should have a bore of at
least 38mm (11/2”). It should be installed
as shown, have a trap fitted and must
discharge into the same drain system
as your household sink.
It MUST NOT be connected to a surface
water drain.
Sink Waste System:
For under sink drainage:
Before connecting the drain hose,
remove any internal restrictions - This
will prevent a build up of debris which
could cause a blockage.
Remove any restrictions from the waste
spigot and ensure that the sealing bung
is removed. The hose should be routed,
such that it is raised to a minimum height
of 800mm (31/2”).
NOTE: Ensure the sink outlet pipe
has a minimum diamtere of 32mm.
1. Untie the end of the GREY
drainage hose from the rear of the
appliance.
2. Reposition the ‘Hooked End
Support’ as required along the GREY
drainage hose.
3. If fitting an under sink waste
disposal unit, cut out the membrane,
bung or blanking plug.
4. Attach the GREY drainage hose to
the under sink waste disposal unit
securely , using the clip and rubber
tube supplied.
Ensure the drain hose is
securely attached, to prevent it
coming away while the machine
is in use and causing a flood.

Loading your Dishwasher
ISHWASHER
D
First of all.
Before placing dishes in the baskets,
remove all course food remains. This
avoids blocking the filter, which would
reduce the efficiency of the wash.
If saucepans and frying pans are very
dirty, allow them to soak before being
washed.
T o make it easier to load your dishes,
pull the baskets out.
What goes into the lower
basket?
We recommend you place the most
difficult dishes to wash into the lower
basket: saucepans, lids, soup dishes and
plates (a load example is shown in the
photo).
• Serving dishes and large lids:
place them on the sides of the
basket.
• Saucepans, salad bowls: must
always be placed upside down
• Very deep dishes: place them
obliquely, thus allowing water to run
down them and cleaning them better
Place the cutlery with the handles at the
bottom; if the basket is the one with side
inserts, then insert the tea spoons one
by one into the slots.
It is best if you place longer utensils
horizontally at the front of the upper
basket.
After loading the dishes, remember to
check that the spray arms can turn freely
without hitting against any dishes.
What goes into the upper
basket?
Place delicate and lightweight dishes in
the upper basket: glasses, tea cups and
coffee cups, saucers and plates - shallow
salad bowls, slightly dirty frying pans and
shallow pans.
Position lightweight dishes in such as
way as to avoid their being moved by
the spray of water.
How to adjust the upper basket.
The upper basket can be set in high or
low position to enable you to organise
your dishes effortlessly.

Care and Cleaning
Unplug the appliance.
Before carrying out any cleaning or
maintenance on the dishwasher,
always remove the plug from the
electricity socket.
After every wash.
When the wash cycle has ended,
always remember to turn off the water
supply tap and to leave the appliance
door ajar. This way, moisture and bad
odours will not be trapped inside.
The filter assembly
• If you want consistent good results
from your dishwasher, you need to
clean the filter assembly.
•
Remove the larger food particles
trapped inside the cup “C” and the
semi-circular filter A after each wash;
pull the cup handle upwards to remove
them. Just rinse them under running
water.
• The entire filter assembly should be
cleaned thoroughly once a month: cup
C + semi-circular filter A + cylindrical
filter B. Rotate filter “B” anticlockwise
to remove it.
For cleaning, use a non metallic brush.
Reassemble the filter parts (as shown
1
B
in the figure) and reinsert the whole
assembly into the dishwasher. Position
it into its housing and press
downwards.
The dishwasher is not to be used
without filters. Improper replacement
of the filters may reduce the efficiency
of the wash and even damage your
dishwasher.

A
Cleaning the spray arms.
Food residue may become encrusted
onto the spray arms and block the
holes where water comes out. Check
the spray arms regularly and clean
them once in a while.
Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter
Periodically clean the water inlet filter
(see figure 2 under "Installation")
located on the outlet of the water
supply tap. After turning of f the water
tap, unscrew the end of the water
supply hose, remove the filter and
clean it carefully under running water.
Then, return the filter to its place and
tighten the water supply hose back into
position.
The seals.
One of the factors that cause
unpleasant odours to form inside the
dishwasher is food that remains
trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning
using a damp sponge will prevent this
from occurring.
DO NOT use solvents or abrasives to
clean the exterior and rubber parts of
your appliance, do not use solvents or
abrasive cleaning products. Use a
cloth dampened with lukewarm soapy
water only.
If there are any stains on the surface
of the appliance interior, use a cloth
dampened with water and a little white
vinegar, or a cleaning product
specifically made for dishwashers.
Going away
If the dishwasher is not going to be
used for some time, carry out the
following:
• run a cycle with the dishwasher
empty.
• switch off at the electrical socket and
unplug.
• turn off the water supply tap,
disconnect the inlet hose and allow
to drain.
• fill the rinse aid dispenser.
• leave the door ajar, to prevent the
build up of unpleasant odours
inside the dishwasher.
Before using the dishwasher after a
long break, plug in and switch on at
the electrical socket. Reconnect the
inlet hose and turn on the water supply
tap. Check there are no deposits of
rust inside the water pipe, if there are
allow water to run from the supply tap
for a few minutes.
Disconnecting the dishwasher.
When disconnecting the dishwasher
it is important that tasks are carried
out in the correct sequence.
• switch off at the mains and remove
the plug from the socket.
• turn off the water supply .
• disconnect drain and water inlet
hose.
• pull out the dishwasher, carefully ,
withdrawing hoses at the same
time.
Moving the appliance.
Drain water from the dishwasher.
Secure all loose parts. Only transport
in an upright position.
• If not kept upright during transport,
any water remaining inside may
seep into the control module and
cause subsequent errors with
programme functions.

Troubleshooting
Caution
- Do not forget that repairs should only be carried out by a qualified specialist. Improper repairs can lead to considerable equipment damage, as well as
danger to the user.
- The dishwasher must first be disconnected from the electricity supply before any repairs or other work can be carried out. Sw itch off at the mains socket
and water supply and remove the plug.
Resolving minor problems yourself.
Experience has shown that you can resolve most problems that arise during normal daily usage yourself, without having to call out a service
engineer. Not only does this save costs but it also means the appliance is available for use again that much sooner . The following list of common
occurences and their remedies should help you identify the causes of most problems.
If the dishwasher won't start,
check...
■ Is the dishwasher plugged in at the
electricity socket and switched on?
■ Is there a power failure, check other
appliances.
■ Check the fuse.
■ Is the water supply tap turned on?
■ Is the water inlet hose connected
properly?
■ Is the pressure of the water supply
sufficient?
■ Is the inlet hose kinked?
■ Is the filter on the water supply
hose blocked?
■ Is the dishwasher door not closed
properly?
If water remains inside the
dishwasher, check...
■ the drain hose is not kinked.
■ the drain syphon is not obstructed.
■ the dishwasher filters are not
clogged.
If the dishes are not being
cleaned properly, check...
■ the correct amount of detergent
has been added.
■ there is regenerating salt in the salt
container.
■ the dishes have been loaded
correctly.
■ the selected programme is suitable
for the type of dishes and the
degree of soiling.
■ all filters are clean and positioned
correctly.
■ the spray arm nozzles are not
obstructed.
■ there is nothing obstructing the
rotation of the spray arms.
If the dishes fail to dry or
remain dirty, check...
■ there is rinse aid inside the rinse
aid container.
■ the rinse aid dispenser setting is
correct.
■ the detergent being used is of good
quality and has not lost its
effectiveness (for example, through
incorrect storage, with the box left
open).
If the dishes show signs of
streaking, staining etc. check...
■ the rinse aid dispenser setting is
not set too high.
If there are visible traces of rust
inside the tank, check...
■ the cap off the salt container is
securely closed and that the water
softner setting is correct.
■ the correct amount of detergent is
being used. Certain detergents can
be more corrosive than others.
■ the tank is made of steel and
therefore any rust marks are due

your appliance will start up again after
a few minutes. Were you to be absent
