Important

• Read the instructions prior to installation and use of the

appliance.

• Do not lean or climb on the open dishwasher door, to

prevent damage.

• Close the dishwasher door after use, to prevent accidents.

• Use only detergents, salt and rinse aid specifically

designed for dishwashers.

• Do not put solvents in the dishwasher detergent

compartment, to prevent risk of explosion.

• Only put dishwasher safe items into the dishwasher. If in

doubt, check with the manufacturer of the items.

• Take care when loading the dishwasher to observe the

recommendations for best loading practice, and also
to ensure that sharp objects such as knives are placed
blade down, to prevent accidents.

• Do not open the dishwasher door when a programme is

running. If it is necessary to do so, then open it only slightly
to allow the dishwasher to pause the programme and
prevent any water spilling out. Remember that the water
in the dishwasher can be very hot when the programme is
running.

• When the dishwasher is not in use, we recommend that

you turn off the water supply at the supply tap and
disconnect the mains supply.

• If you are leaving the dishwasher for an extended period

you should leave the door slightly open to prevent the
formation of unpleasant smells.

• The plastic housing on the water inlet pipe contains an

4

electrically operated valve. The wires that connect to this
valve are inside the inlet hose. Do not cut through the inlet
hose, and do not put the plastic housing in water.

• Children could get locked inside the appliance. Therefore

when disposing of an old appliance ensure it is empty, cut
off the plug and damage the door lock so that the door
can no longer be closed.

years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge if they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way

Detergent

To fill the detergent compartment

• Push the latch to open the

compartment.

• Add the required amount of detergent.

The main detergent compartment “b”

(Fig. 2) has lines to allow for specific

amounts of detergent. These are marked at either 15cm3 or 25cm3, to

be used depending on how dirty the dishes are.

If your dishes are in need of an intensive wash, then add 5cm3 of

detergent into the prewash section of the compartment “a” (Fig. 2).

• Close the detergent compartment lid until the latch locks.

Please note: You should only use detergents designed specifically

for use in dishwashers.

If using dishwasher tablets, always use the detergent compartment,

do not put them in the main body of the dishwasher or in the cutlery

basket. The solubility of dishwasher tablets can vary depending

on the temperature and duration of the programme. As a result, it is

recommended that powder detergents should be used in the shorter

programmes to allow better performance.

The use of separate detergent, rinse aid and dishwasher salt is

recommended rather than combination tablets as separates achieve

better wash performance.

If you do use combination detergents, add salt and rinse aid to the

dishwasher and then adjust the water hardness setting and rinse aid
