Installation and servicing
● All installation and service work done on the product
must be carried out by a qualified technician. Work performed by persons with inadequate knowledge may adversely affect the satisfactory functioning of the product and may cause personal injury or damage. Before any work is carried out on the dishwasher, it must be isolated from the electrical supply, by unplugging the power cord or removing the fuse.
● Water connection shall be made via an easily accessible
stopcock.
● The power cord must be plugged into an earthed
socket, which need to be easily accessible. Permanent installation must only be carried out by an authorised electrician.
● If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.
● Make sure that the power cord is not nipped or otherwise
damaged and that the hoses do not get crushed or kinked when moving the dishwasher in connection with installation or cleaning etc.
● Our approved build-in kit must be used if the dishwasher
is to be built into the kitchen furnishings.
● Servicing and possible repairs must be carried out by
a service company authorised by the manufacturer. Use only spare parts supplied by these. Never try to repair the dishwasher yourself.
Child Safety
● The dishwasher should be used by adults only. Do not
let children play with the controls or other parts of it.
● Remember that the plastic bags included in the
packaging can be fatal playthings for small children.
● Keep all detergents in safe place out of children´s
reach.
● Prevent children from sitting, swinging or standing
on the open door.
During Use
● This dishwasher is designed solely for washing house-
hold utensils suitable for machine washing. Using it for other purposes could lead to physical injury or damage to property and invalidate the guarantee.
● Avoid opening the door while the dishwasher is running,
as hot steam may escape.
● Only use detergent specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
● Do not place sharp knives with their points upwards.
It is much safer to lay them horizontally in the basket.
● Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always closed
when it is not being loaded or unloaded. In this way you will avoid anybody injuring themselves on the open door, if the dishwasher is placed under the worktop.
● If you take any dishes out of the machine before the
end of the dishwashing cycle, it is extremely important to rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove any remaining detergent.
● In the event of flooding or leakage, shut off the water
supply immediately by closing the stopcock and dis­connect the power supply by unplugging the power cord or removing the fuse. When removing the electrical plug, grip the plug, not the lead.
● There is always a certain risk of leakages in any machine
connected to a water supply, no matter what water safety features it may have. Therefore it is advisable always to turn off the water supply tap when the machine is not in use.

Rinse conditioner dispenser 1
Use of a rinse conditioner will result in cleaner and faster drying of the load, since it helps water to run off. Too much conditioner may result in streakiness, too little may cause white spots. The dispenser holds about 140 ml. This is enough for 40-70 wash cycles, depending on the dosa­ge setting. When the rinse conditioner level is approa­ching the bottom of the scale it is time to refill the dispenser.
Adjust the dosage setting according to the hard­ness if the water. Begin with the lowest dosage setting and increase as necessary by turning the arrow clockwise.
1. Swivel out the filler trough.
2. Fill up with rinse conditioner until the level reaches up to the red mark on the level indicator tube; do not overfill.
3. Wipe off any spillage carefully to prevent excessive foaming during the next wash programme.
4. Close the filler trough afterwards.
Do not fill the rinse aid dispenser with liquid detergent.
Spray arm 2
It is important to keep all the holes in the spray arm clear. A clogged hole can seriously affect washing efficiency. If the spray arm needs cleaning, unscrew the nut clockwise, remove the washer and lift off the spray arm. Clear the holes and shake out any food remnants.
Coarse filter 3
The purpose of the coarse filter is to catch large objects such as toothpicks and pieces of eggshell. Make sure that the filter is always clean. Lift it out and rinse it under run­ning water whenever necessary.
Fine filter 4
It is just as important to keep this filter clean. A dirty or clogged filter will always impair washing efficiency. The fine filter can easily be lifted out for cleaning when you have removed the coarse filter.
Detergent dispenser 5
Pour the detergent into the compartment, for a normal load about 1-2 tablespoons.
Only use detergents specially designed for dishwashers.

How to load the dishes
The illustration shows the dishwasher loaded with 5 place settings. Your own dishes are not likely to be identical to this load, but if you follow the advices below we are sure you will be pleased with the result.
● Always place glasses, cups and bowls upside down.
● Incline deep dishes (soup plates etc.) so that the
water can run off when drying.
● Make sure that the dishes do not rest against each
other. This is particularly important in regard to the cutlery basket - nested spoons, etc. simply cannot be properly washed. The water must get at all the soiled surfaces.
● Make sure that cutlery with slender handles and other
items do not protrude through the openings in the basket and prevent the spray arm from rotating.
● Never put silver and stainless steel objects together.
When these metals come into contact with each other a chemical reaction occurs which stains the silver.
● China with a pattern applied on top of the glaze may
not be suitable for machine washing as the colours may fade and lose their lustre. The same applies to cutlery with wooden or plastic handles.
Make sure you always buy articles that are dish­washer proof.
● Silver and aluminum items tend to be discolour when
washed. Food remnants from egg and mustard often causes discolourations and stains on silver. Make sure to rinse off and remove food remnants on silver if it is not washed immediately after it has been used.
● Not all plastic articles are machine washable. If you
are in doubt as to whether your plasticware can be machine washed, we suggest you check by washing a single item or else wash them by hand.
● When washing delicate items, select the lower wash
temperature.
● Substances such as ketchup containing strong colouring
agents can cause temporary discolouration to the
interior of the dishwasher.
Do not place sharp knives with their points upwards. It is much safer to lay them hori­zontally in the main basket.

Use
This dishwasher is designed solely for washing household utensils suitable for washing in a dishwasher. Using it for other purposes may damage it and invalidate the guarantee.
Building-in
If you want to build the dishwasher into your kitchen furni­ture, it is important to use our approved build-in kit. This comes with the correct instructions needed to observe all the relevant regulations. You can obtain the build-in kit from the same place where you bought the dishwasher.
Protecting the dishwasher against freezing
If the dishwasher is placed in an environment where the temperature sometimes fall below 0° C, there is a risk that the small amount of water which remains inside the parts of the dishwasher will freeze and damage it. To prevent this you should:
1. Turn off the water supply to the dishwasher.
2. Drain the inlet and discharge hoses.
3. Select a wash programme and let the machine run for a few seconds.
The appliance is only to be used and stored indoors at normal room temperature. The manufacture is not responsible for any frost damage.

Installation
Positioning
The dishwasher is intended to be installed on a kitchen drainer or worktop. To function properly, make sure that the appliance is level. Its height can be adjusted with the adjustable feets (8 mm each).
Water inlet
The temperature of the water supply should not exceed 65° C and the pressure should be between 50-1000 kPa (0,5 - 10 bar). It is important to have a tap or stopcock, positioned close to the dishwasher and with easy access. Special mixer taps with dishwasher connections are available, as well as adaptors for older mixer taps. Connect the inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4" pipe thread. If necessary, use the restric­tor (1/2") supplied.
The inlet hose must not be joined onto any form of extension hose. If it is too short, the entire hose must be replaced with a longer high-pressure hose, specially designed for the purpose. The end of the hose, which is connected to the dishwasher can be turned in any direction. Loosen the retaining nut, turn the hose, then retighten the nut.
Check that the nut and all other connections are tight before the machine is moved into position.
Use only the inlet hose supplied to the dish­washer, do not reuse the old inlet hose.
Water drainage
Place the discharge hose over the sink as illustrated. It must not at any point be higher up than 75 cm over the surface which the dishwasher is standing on. If it runs hig­her, operation of the dishwasher might be impaired.
It is also important to ensure that the inside diameter of the hose is not less than 13 mm at any point. If the discharge hose is too long, it can easily be cut to the right length.
1. Cut the hose to a suitable length, using a sharp knife.
2. Fit the elbow supplied onto the end of the hose.
Electrical connection
The dishwasher is supplied with a lead and electrical plug for connection to a 230 V earthed wall socket, which should be easily accessible and protected by a 10 A fuse.
Before any work is carried out on the dishwas­her, it must be isolated from the electric mains supply, for example by removing the plug from the wall socket.
Permanent electrical installation must be carri­ed out by an authorised electrician or compe­tent person.
