Installation...
Follow the Installation Instructions,making
sure the Dishwasher is correctly installed.
When installing the Dishwasher,carry out
tasks in the following order:
- choose a location.
- level the appliance (adjusting the feet).
- connect to a drainage system.
- connect inlet hose to water supply.
CHOOSE A LOCATION...
The choice of location for your appliance
will influence its performance.
●
Position where possible on a solid floor.
Vibration may occur with a wooden
floor.
●
Take care with vinyl floor coverings.The
weight of the appliance may cause
indentations in some vinyl floor coverings.
●
For your safety and to comply with IEE
regulations, you should not install your
appliance in a bath or shower room.
Seek professional advice if you wish to
do so.
●
Ensure sufficient space is allowed for the
appliance.
●
Ensure the electrical socket and water
taps are easily accessible and that the
water supply can be isolated if necessary.Do not use an extension lead or
multiple plug for connection to the electrical socket.
●
If your dishwasher is underneath a
work surface with a hob.You must
add thermal insulation to the top of the
machine.
ADJUST THE FEET...
It is essential that the door is closed and
latched before stabilising the dishwasher.
Ensure that the rear feet are adjusted so
that the product is not sitting on the base
of the machine. Adjust either clockwise or
anti-clockwise as necessary to level.
Then adjust either of the two front feet
clockwise or anti-clockwise as necessary
until all feet are in contact with the floor to
avoid the machine from rocking and is level
to within 2˚
The door must be aligned centrally with the
sides of the cabinet to ensure the door seal
is correctly located.
Note: If the appliance is not stabilised the
door may be off centre and make the
machine unstable.

CONNECT TO A DRAINAGE SYSTEM...
WARNING
● Connect your dishwasher drain hose to
pipes which connect to the foul drain
system, and not to surface water drains.
IMPORTANT NOTES For the correct
operation of your dishwasher,it is
essential to comply with the following
information.
Standpipe
Fit the hose to the standpipe
hook which can be found in
the machine.
Ensure that the hose is not
pushed too far down the
standpipe.
DO NOT position the standpipe near an electrical outlet.
ENSURE that the drain hose is
routed as shown in the diagram.
The standpipe should be connected to:
a) A discharge stack-pipe
b) An external gulley OR
c) A sink waste.

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 (3
Note: Ensure the sink outlet pipe has a
minimum diameter of 32mm.

/2")
The standpipe should have a bore of at
least 38mm (1
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.

/
1. Untie the end of the GREY drainage
hose from the rear of the appliance.
2. Reposition ‘Hooked End Support’ as
required along 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.

Before Using your Appliance...
Before using your Dishwasher you must carry
out the following steps to ensure you obtain
the best possible wash performance from
your appliance.
Follow these 4 steps:
- Adjust the Water Softener.
- Fill the Salt Container.
- Fill the Rinse Aid Container.
- Add detergent.
ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENER...
● In order to rinse dishes and glasses
satisfactorily,the dishwasher requires
soft water i.e containing little or no
lime, otherwise water stains are left
behind on crockery and glasses etc. If
the tap water exceeds a certain level of
hardness, it must be softened,ie.
decalcified, so that it can be used in
the dishwasher.
● The water Softener should be properly
adjusted to optimise salt consumption
and for best washing results.
● In order to ensure that the correct
amount of salt is being used to
regenerate the water softener, the
water hardness adjuster needs to be
set accordingly.To set this correctly
the hardness of your water needs to
be ascertained. Find on the table the
level corresponding to the hardness
of your water and the required
adjustments or contact your local
Water company to find the exact water
hardness level for your area.
● Press and hold the ECONOMY 50˚
programme button 9 , and set the
mains switch 1 to on, before releasing
the programme button again.
The indicator lamp for the ECONOMY
50˚ button flashes, as does the figure
in the numerical display 3 . The latter
represents the value that was pre-set in
the factory.
To change the setting:
Press the ECONOMY 50˚ programme
button 9 .
Every time the button is pressed,the
figure increases by one. After reaching
7
, the display starts at 0again.
● Set the mains switch 1 to OFF. The
new setting is stored in the appliance’s
memory.
Approximately 4 litres of water are required
for regenerating the water softening
system. The overall water consumption per
load can therefore be increased by between
0 and a maximum of 4 litres according to
the water hardness setting.
