When the appliance is first
installed
Before using the appliance for the first time:
• Ensure that the electrical and water
connections comply with the installation
instructions
• Remove all packaging from inside the
appliance.
• Check if the factory set of the water
softener complies with the water
hardness in your area. If not, adjust the
level of the water softener.
• Pour 1 litre of water into the salt
container and then fill with dishwasher
salt.
• Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
The water softener
The appliance is equipped with a water
softener designed to remove minerals and
salts from the water supply, which would
have a detrimental or adverse effect on the
operation of the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals and
salts, the harder your water is. Water
hardness is measured in equivalent scales,
Clarke degrees, French degrees (°TH) and
mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit
for the hardness of water).
The softener should be adjusted according
to the hardness of the water in your area.
Your local Water Authority can advise you
on the hardness of the water in your area.

gasket.
Filling with salt
Caution! Only use salt specifically
designed for dishwasher use. All
other types of salt, especially table
salt, will damage the water softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting
one of the complete washing
programmes. This will prevent any
grains of salt or salty water, which
may have been spilt, to remain on the
bottom of the appliance for any
period of time and cause corrosion.
1. Open the appliance door and remove
the lower basket.
2. Unscrew the cap of the salt container by
turning it anticlockwise.
3. Pour 1 litre of water into the container
(this is necessary only before filling with
salt for the first time).
4. Using the funnel provided, pour in the
salt until the container is full.
Do not worry if water overflows
from the unit when filling with salt,
this is quite normal.
Filling with rinse aid

Loading cutlery and
dishes
Sponges, household cloths and any object
that can absorb water must not be washed
in the appliance.
• Remove all left over food and debris from
dishes.
• Soften remnants of burnt food in pans.
• Dishes and cutlery must not impede the
rotation of the spray arms.
• Load hollow items with the opening
downwards so that water cannot collect
in the container or a deep base.
• Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie
inside one another or cover each other.
• To avoid damage to glasses, they must
not touch.
• Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.
• Plastic items and pans with non stick
coatings have a tendency to retain water
drops. These items will not dry as well as
porcelain and steel items.
• Light items (e.g. plastic bowls) must be
loaded in the upper basket and arranged
so they do not move.
13
Page 14
For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes
are not suitable: are of limited suitability:
• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or motherof-pearls handles.
• Plastic items that are not heat resistant.
• Older cutlery with glued parts that are not
temperature resistant.
• Bonded cutlery items or dishes.
• Pewter or copper items.
• Lead crystal glass.
• Steel items prone to rusting.
• Wooden platters.
• Items made from synthetic fibres.
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take pots,
pans, lids, dishes, salad bowls and cutlery.
Serving dishes and large lids should be
arranged around the edge of the basket,
ensuring that the spray arms can turn freely.
• Only wash stoneware if it is specially marked
as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.
• Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed
frequently.
• Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to
discolour during washing: Residue, e.g. egg
white, egg yolk and mustard often cause
discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore
always clean left-overs from silver
immediately, if it is not to be washed straight
after use.

The cutlery basket
Warning! Knives with long blades,
stored in an upright position, are a
potential hazard. Long and/or sharp
items of cutlery such as carving knives
must be positioned horizontally in the
upper basket. Take care when
loading or unloading sharp items such
as knives. Forks and spoons should
be placed in the removable cutlery
basket with the handles facing
downwards and the knives with their
handles facing upwards
The upper basket
The upper basket is designed for plates
(dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up
to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and
glasses.
Arrange items on and underneath the cup
racks so that water can reach all surfaces.
Avoid to put plates in the first three sectors
in the front part of the basket. Make sure
the plates tilt forwards.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent
them from sticking together.
For best results we recommend you use the
cutlery grid. If the size and dimensions of the
cutlery do not allow the use of the grid, this
can be easily removed.
Glasses with long stems can be placed
upside down in the cup racks.
For taller items, the cup racks can be folded
upwards.

Installation
Warning! It is dangerous to alter
the specifications or attempt to
modify the appliance in any way.
Warning! This appliance is heavy.
Care should be taken when moving
it.
Warning! Care must be taken to
ensure that the appliance does not
stand on the electrical supply cable.
Warning! Any electrical or
plumbing work required to install this
appliance must be carried out by a
qualified electrician or plumber.
Unpacking
• Remove all packaging before positioning
the appliance.
• Position the appliance next to a water tap
and a drain.
Levelling of the appliance
Good levelling is essential for correct closure
and sealing of the appliance door.
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the
door will not catch on either side of the
cabinet.
If the appliance door does not close
correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable
feet until the level of the appliance is perfect.
Caution! Carefully follow the
instructions on the enclosed template
for building in the appliance and fitting
the furniture panel.
Insert the appliance after the adjustment of
the appliance level. When inserting the
appliance, ensure that the water inlet and
drain hoses are not kinked or squashed.
24
Page 25
During all operations that involve
accessibility to internal components the
appliance must be unplugged.
Be sure that once the appliance has been
installed, it is easily accessible for the service
engineer in the event that a repair is
required.
Therefore make sure, that the counter it is
fixed under, is suitably secured to a fixed
structure (e.g. adjacent kitchen unit cabinets,
wall).
Fixing to the adjacent
units
The appliance must be secured against
tilting.
Water connection
Water inlet connection
This appliance must be connected to a cold
water supply.
For making the connection itself, the
coupling nut fitted to the appliance inlet hose
is designed to screw onto a 3/4" gas thread
spout or to a purpose made quick-coupling
tap such as the Press-block.
The water pressure must be within the limits
given in the ‘Technical data’. Your local
Water Authority will advise you on the
average mains pressure in your area.
The water inlet hose must not be kinked,
crushed, or entangled when it is being
connected.
The appliance features inlet and drain hoses
which can be turned either to the left or the
right to suit the installation by means of the
locknut. The locknut must be correctly fitted
to avoid water leaks.
If the appliance is connected to new pipes or
pipes which have not been used for a long
time, you should run the water for a few
minutes before connecting the inlet hose.
This appliance has been fitted with safety
features which will prevent the water used in
the appliance from returning back into the
drinking water system. This appliance
complies with the applicable plumbing
regulations.
Caution! Do not use inlet and drain
hoses which have previously been
used on another appliance.
Water drain connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected
in the following ways:
• To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to the
underside of the work surface. This will
prevent waste water from the sink
running into the appliance.
• To a stand pipe provided with venthole,
minimum internal diameter 4 cm.
25
Page 26
max 85 cm
min 40 cm
max 400 cm
The drain hose can face either to the right
or left of the appliance.
Ensure the drain hose is not bent or
squashed as this could prevent or slow
down the discharge of water.
The sink plug must not be in place when the
appliance is draining as this could cause the
water to syphon back into the appliance.
If you use a drain hose extension, the
internal diameter must be no smaller than
the diameter of the hose provided.
Likewise the internal diameter of the
couplings used for connections to the waste
outlet must be no smaller than the diameter
of the hose provided.
Our appliances are supplied with a security
device to protect against the return of dirty
water back into the appliance. If the spigot
of your sink has a "no return valve"
incorporated this can prevent the correct
draining of your appliance. We therefore
advise you to remove it.
When connecting the drain hose to an
under sink trap spigot, the entire plastic
membrane (A) must be removed. Failure to
remove all the membrane will result in food
particles building up over time eventually
blocking the appliance drain hose spigot.

Electrical connection
The manufacturer accepts no liability
for failure to observe the following
safety precautions.
Warning! Safety standards require
the appliance to be earthed.
Prior to using the appliance for the
first time, ensure that the rated
voltage and type of supply on the
rating plate match that of the supply
where the appliance is to be installed.
The fuse rating is also to be found on
the rating plate.
Always plug the mains plug into a
correctly installed shockproof socket.
Multi-way plugs, connectors and
extension cables must not be used.
This could constitute a fire hazard
through overheating.
If necessary, have the domestic wiring
system socket replaced. In case that
the electrical cable has to be
replaced, contact your local repair
agent.
The plug must be accessible after the
appliance has been installed.
Never unplug the appliance by pulling
on the cable. Always pull the plug.
The appliance is supplied with a 13
amp plug attached. Use a 13 amp
ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse if it is
necessary to change the fuse in the
plug supplied.
