Detergent and rinse aid
Detergent
Use detergent specifically intended for dishwashers. Refill the dispenser before each wash cycle
according to the "Wash cycle table." The detergent dispenser is on the inside panel of the door.
Loading the detergent
To open the cover “A” on the dispenser, press the button "B".
Pour the detergent into the dispenser "C" (which has a pre-wash
and a main wash compartment). After the detergent has been
placed in the dispenser, close the cover and press down until it
clicks in place.
NOTE: Remove excess detergent from the edges of the
dispenser before closing the lid.
WARNING
Dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline. T hey can b e
extremely dangerous if sw allow ed. Avoid c ontact with the skin and eyes and keep children
away from the dishwasher when t he door is ope n. Check that the deter gent d ispense r is empty
after completion of the wash cycle.
Rinse aid
This product makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry w ithout spotting. The d ispenser is lo cated
on the inside panel of the door and should be filled after every 80 wash cycles (or when the Rinse aid
indicator light comes on for models wi th this fea ture).
Loading the rinse aid
To open the dispenser, turn the cap "D" in an a nticlockwise d irec tion
and pour in the rinse aid, making sure not to o verfill. The amoun t of
rinse aid can be changed by turning the dosage adjuster "E", beneath
the cap, with a screwdriver. There are 6 different settings.
Important: Proper dosage of the rinse aid impr oves dr ying. If drops of
water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs, turn th e dosage
adjuster to a higher setting. If the dishes have white streaks, turn the
dosage adjuster to a lower setting.
5
Loading the dishwasher
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove the larger food particles to prevent the filter from
becoming clogged.
If the pots and pans have baked- on food tha t is e xtre mely hard to r emove, soak them befor e washing.
This eliminates the need for extra wash cycles .
Pull out the racks to load the dishwasher.
Lower rack Upper rack

Energy-saving and environmental tips
Run the d ishwasher when it is fu lly load ed to save on energ y.
Rather than r un a full c ycle for a half loa d, run the pr e -r i nse cycle, which w ill prevent odo urs from
forming and food from caking onto the dishes.
Choose the r ight wash cyc le: th e choice o f cyc le dep ends on the type of d ishware, cookware and
utensils being washed and how dir ty they are.
Use the right amoun t of de tergent: if yo u use too much detergen t, the result will not b e cleane r
dishes, but, rather, a greater negative impact on the e nvironment.
Maintaining your dishwasher
After every wash, turn off the water su pply to the app liance and le ave the door slightly ajar s o
that moisture and odours are not trapped inside.
Before cleaning or performing main tenance, always remove the plug from the socket.
Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products to clean the exterior and rubber parts o f
the dishwasher. Use only a cloth and warm soapy water.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the in terior, use a clo th damp ened with wa ter and a
little white vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
If you ha ve to move th e dishw asher, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely
necessary, it can be laid on its back.
Do not lay the dishwasher on its right-hand side
Never lift the dishwasher by the door handle
Cleanin g the door seals . One of the reasons that odours for m in the dishwasher is that food gets
trapped in these seals. Periodic cleaning with a spon ge w ill prevent this .
When you g o on holiday it is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher
empty and then remove the plug from the socke t, turn off the wa ter supply a nd leave th e door of
the appliance slightly ajar. This will help the door seals last longer and prevent odours from
forming.

Cleaning and special maintenance
Cleaning the filter assembly
For the best performance and results, keep the filter assembly clean.
The filter removes food pa rtic les from th e wash water , allow ing the
water to be recirculated during the cycle . For this re a son, it is a go od
idea to remove any food particles trapped in the filter after each wash
cycle by rinsing the semi-circular filter and cup ("A") under run ning
water.
Fig D. Filter assembly
To remove the filter assembly, pull the handle up. Clean the entire
filter assembly (made up of the semicirc ular filter "A" and th e fine
filter "B" in Fig. E) at least once a month , using a soft brush. To
reassemble, insert the entire assembl y into the dishw asher, loc ate i t
correctly in its seat and press downwards.
Do not use the dishwasher without the filters. Improp er rep lacemen t
B
of the filters may reduce the dishwasher’s performance.
Fig E. Semicircular and fine filters
Cleaning the spray arms
Food particles may become encrusted on the spra y a rms and bloc k th e hole s ( s e e "Interior view”,
letters C and E). Check the spray arms pe riodically and clean them when n eeded. To clean the spra y
arms, remove them by unscrewing them from the bearings, run them under clean running water, and
refit them. Ensure the lower spray arm is correctly locked in to place, a nd the up per arm is screwed in
tightly.
Cleaning the water inlet filter
The water inlet filter is in the in let hose where it screw s on to the tap. To clean th e water inlet filter ,
turn off the water tap, unscrew the hose, remove th e filter an d clea n it carefully u nder running wate r .
Then refit the filter and tighten th e hose back into position on th e tap.

Troubleshooting
If the dishwasher does not function or d oes not func tion corr ectly, c heck the following be fore c alling
for assistance.
Problem Check
The dishwasher does not start. Is the plug pushed into the socket correctly?
Is the power on in the house?
Is the door closed properly?
Is the Power switch "ON"?
Is the water supply turned on?
The dishwasher does not fill with water. Is the water turned on and is the hose connected
properly?
Is the water supply to the house turned on and
does it have sufficient pressure?
Is the water supply hose crimped or ben t?
Is the filter for the water supply hose clogged?
The dishwasher does not drain. Is the drain hose kinked or bent?
The dishes are not clean. Is the drain hose kinked or bent?
Has the detergent been dispensed?
Are the spray arm holes blocked?
Are the spray arms rotating?
Have the dishes been loaded correctly?
Lime deposits or a white film form on the d ishes. Is the rinse aid dosage correct?
If, despite all these checks, the dishwasher still does not function and/or the problem persists, contact
your nearest authorised service centre and provide them with the following information :
1. The nature o f the problem.
2. The model number (Mod...) and the serial number (S/N...), found on the side of the inner par t of
the door.
12
Installation
1. Position the dishwasher in the desired location. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply
and drain hoses that can be positioned to the righ t or le ft, to allow correct ins tallation.
2. Level the dis hwasher by s crewing the fe et in or out. T he d ishwasher shou ld no t be inclined more
than 2 degrees, to ensure proper performance.
3. Connect the dishwasher to the water mains us ing the sup pl ied new hose se ts. Do not use old
hose sets.
Cold water connection
Connect the cold water supply hose to a thread ed ¾” bs p
connector and make sure that it is faste ned tightly (see Fig. F).
If the water pipes are new or have n ot been used for an
extended period of time, let the water ru n first, un til it is clear
and free of impurities. Otherwise the water inlet filter may get
blocked.
Fig F. Connecting the water supply hose
Hot water connection
The dishwasher must not be connected to an under sink high pressure “pus h through” type hot
water system as damage to the system may result.
The dishwasher can also be connected to the ho use' s hot water su pply follow ing the same
procedure as for the cold water connection .
This will reduce the wash cycle ti me by about 15 minutes, and the wash efficiency will be slightly
reduced.
o
Do not connect to a hot w ater system that excee d s a t emperature of 6 0
4. Connect the drain hose
The recommended method of installation is shown in Diagrams 1, 2 a nd 3 . The diagrams are
designed to eliminate problems that occur with combined sink – dishwasher waste systems.
The standpipe must have a minimum diameter of 38 mm and s tand 750 mm above the floor . A
drain hose support is provided to hold the drain hose in place in the s tandpipe (s ee Diagrams 1
and 2).
It is not recommended that the drain hose or dra in p ipe be connected d irec tly to a waste dispos al
C.
unit (see Diagram 2).
13
When connecting the drain hose to a sink trap with a drain hose spigot, it is important that the
drain hose is supported to the height of the bench (see Diagram 3). Ensure the drain spigot has a
minimum hole size of 15 mm and that it has been drilled ou t.
5. Connect the electricity.
Ensure the voltage and frequency in the home corres pond to those on the ratin g pla te o f the
appliance (located on the side of the s tainless steel in ner door) a nd the elec tr ical s ystem can
cope with the maximum voltage on the rating plate. If the above conditions are met, insert the
plug into an earthed electrical socket.
Do NOT use adaptors or extension le ads.
14
Minimum cabinet clearances
Note: ensure that any bare wood surrounding the d is hwasher is se aled w ith a n oil- ba s ed paint or
moisture-proof polyurethane, to prevent possib le ste am da mage .
