For better washing performance, always load the dishwasher according to the instructions. Before loading items into the dishwasher clean off large particles of food, in particular insoluble items such as bones, pips, etc.

When loading the dishwasher, please act accordingly:

Position crockery such that water will contact all surfaces.

Deep based items should be placed at an angle to help water run off and dry properly.

Items with burnt on food should be soaked prior to loading in the dishwasher.

Take care not to obstruct the rotation of the spray arms and ensure that large items do not prevent the detergent dispenser lid from opening.

3. Using the Cutlery Basket

Cutlery should be mixed within each section of the cutlery basket to prevent nesting of similar items. Place the cutlery in the cover with the handles down. The cover can be hinged and clipped away from the basket if you choose not to use them.

Place knives in the separate rack for located in the top of the dishwasher.

Take care when loading and unloading sharp items.

2. Loading the Lower Rack

It is best to load this with more delicate items such as, small plates, long cutlery, cups, glasses and dishwasher safe plastic items. Plates should be positioned upwards with the plate bottom facing the front of the rack.

Cups, glasses and bowls must be positioned upside down.

Extra cups or cooking utensils can be laid on the fold down cup racks, which also provides support for long stem glasses. Take care not to obstruct the rotation of the spray arm under the upper rack.

Front

Non Dishwasher Safe Items

The combination of high water temperatures and dishwasher detergent may damage particular items, therefore we do not recommend using the dishwasher to wash the following:

■Copper or anodized aluminum

■Hand painted silver or gold leaf crockery

■Wood or bone handled utensils

■Iron or non rust proof utensils

■Plastic items that which are not dishwasher safe.

5. Adjusting the Upper Rack

Your upper rack can be raised or lowered to cater for different sized crockery. Before adjusting, ensure that the rack is empty. You can change the position of the upper rack by lifting the rack upward, into the upper position, or by pulling on the two levers on either side of the rack to move it down to its lower position.

We recommend that where possible the upper rack remains level.

And when you pull the rack upward, hold the middle location of the upper rack

( marked position)

After adjusting the rack levels, check that the spray arm is free to rotate.

WARNING

Before adjusting, ensure the rack is empty of all crockery.

Otherwise crockery may be damaged or you may be injured.

HOW TO USE AND OPERATE

6.Adding Detergent Dispenser

•Detergent must be put into the detergent chamber before starting every program except the Pre-wash.

•Please follow the manufacturer’s instructions within the manual, when determining the correct amount of detergent to use.

•If your dishes are moderately dirty, you may use slightly less detergent than recommended.

•Chambers hold 15g and 25g.

•The amount of detergent required depends on the program. Please refer to the guide table.

PROGRAM	AMOUNT OF DETERGENT
Intensive	25g
Auto	20g
Eco	15g
Quick	10g
Pre-wash	No detergent

•After the detergent is supplied, the chamber lid should be closed.

•The detergent is dispensed automatically during the operation.

•The chamber lid remains open after operation.

Detergent Information

Use only the detergent intended for household dishwashers. (Ordinary handwashing detergent should not be used, because the foam can interfere with proper operation.)

Push latch to open

Place proper detergent into this compartment

WARNING

The detergent used is a special Dishwasher detergent and like all household chemicals it should be treated as harmful and kept out of reach of children. After completion of the wash program, the detergent compartment should be checked and any remaining detergent removed.

ATTENTION

Using combined detergent products (ex.3 in 1)

Some products integrated rinse aid work best specific programs only.

Yow will obtain optimum rinsing and drying results by using conventional and separate salt and rinse aid.

Products that replace regeneration salt can only be used within a specific water hardness range.

Please contact the detergent manufacturer if the drying performance is very poor or you find the white film, when you use the combined detergent products.

We do not warrant the complaints that are directly related to the use of these products.

HOW TO USE AND OPERATE

7.Adding Rinse Aid Dispenser

For filling

To fill the Rinse Aid chamber, rotate the round cap counter clockwise and remove. Fill the container to the maximum level with a good quality Rinse Aid, then replace and lock the cap.

The Rinse Aid is automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.

The dosage is factory set to suit most installations. If, after washing, you notice cloudy spots, streaks or water marks on your glassware, it may be necessary to increase the setting. To do this, remove the cap and rotate the indicator arrow to a higher setting then replace the cap . If the glasses are smeared or foam is present on the bottom of the glass or the bottom of the machine, select a lower setting.

For refilling

Depending on the dosage setting and the number of washes, the chamber may need to be topped up, approximately once a month. The rinse aid level can be checked by two methods.

•By the indicator window on the dispenser when the dishwasher door is fully open.

●Black indicates sufficient Rinse Aid O Clear indicates Rinse Aid required

•By the light on the control panel, being lit, when the dishwasher is working on.

When the lamp is lit, it means the rinse aid is almost empty. Refill the Rinse Aid chamber as soon as possible.

Rinse Aid Information

Rinse Aid is necessary to remove spots and streaks from dishes as well as improved drying. Using the correct amount will improve wash performance. However, using too much can produce excess foam leading to possible water leaks.
