When the appliance is first installed
Before using the appliance for the first
time
1. Ensure that the electrical and water
connections comply with the installation
instructions
2. Remove all packaging from inside the
appliance.
3. 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.
4. Pour 1 litre of water into the salt container
and then fill with dishwasher salt.
5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
6. Open the water tap.
7. Processing residues can remain in the
appliance. To remove these residues, start a

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.

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.
For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes
are not suitable: are of limited suitability:
• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-ofpearls 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.
• 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 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.
The two rows of prongs in the lower basket can
lie flat to allow you to load pots, pans and
bowls.
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
14 Dishwasher user manual

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.
max.
4000 mm
min. 400 mm
max. 850 mm
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.
Dishwasher user manual 31
Page 32
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.
