Do notabuse, sit on, or stand on thedoor or dishrack of the dishwasher.
Do not obstruct any ventilation openings.
If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its back.
Disposal of old electrical appliances
The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on
human health and the environment. The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product
reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance. Saving energy and respecting the environment.
Please dispose of packaging and old appliances carefully.
To minimise risk of injury to children, remove the door, plug and cut mains cable off flush
with the appliance.
Dispose of these parts separately to ensure that the appliance can no longer be plugged into a mains socket and the door cannot be locked shut.

Saving water and energy
Only start a wash cycle when the dishwasher is full.
While waiting for the dishwasher to be filled, prevent unpleasant odours with the Rapid
Wash.
Select a wash cycle that is suited to the type of dishes/crockery and to the soil level of the dishes/crockery using (see the washing program section): - for dishes with a normal soil level, use the Eco wash cycle, which guarantees low energy and water consumption levels.
if the load is smaller than usual activate the Half load function.
If your electricity supply contract gives details of electricity saving time bands, run wash
cycles during the periods when a lower tariff is applied.
use the Time Delay start function to help you organise the wash cycles accordingly.
We strongly recommend that you use detergents that do not contain phosphates or chlorine,
as these products are harmful to the environment. We recommend Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents containing enzymes.
Enzymes provide a particularly effective action at temperatures around 50°C, and as a result detergents containing enzymes can be used in conjunction with low-temperature wash cycles in order to achieve the same results as a normal 65°C wash cycle.
To avoid wasting detergent, use the product in appropriate quantities based on the
manufacturer’s recommendations, the hardness of the water and the soil level and quantity
of the crockery. Even if they are biodegradable, detergents contain substances that may alter
the balance of nature.
Recycling & Disposal Information: As part of our continued commitment to helping the environment, we reserve the right to use quality recycled components to keep down customer costs and minimise material wastage.
Please dispose of packaging and old appliances carefully.

Pre-Installation
Important Note: Prior to installation and first use the following 4 steps must be followed, failure to do so will void your guarantee:
1. Set the water softener level
2. Add 1.5kg dishwasher salt and fill the salt container with water
3. Add rinse aid to the rinse aid dispenser
4. Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent powder or a detergent tablet
Water Hardness & Setting the Salt
The water softener must be set digitally, using the water hardness setting function. The wat er softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, 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. The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardnessof the water in your ar ea.
Adjusting Salt Consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjustment in the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimise and customise the level of salt consumption.
Please follow the steps below for adjustment in salt level/consumption:
1. Open the door and switch on the appliance.
2. Within 60 seconds after the appliance was switched on press and hold the ‘Program’ button for more than 5 seconds to start the water softener setting function. The salt and rinse aid warning lights will flash periodically during the water setting function.
3. Press the ‘Program’ button to select the required softener level in accordance with your local water hardness level. The program indicator lights will light up to indicator the different softener levels (please see the table on the following page). The softener levels will change in the following sequence: H1->H2->H3->H4->H5->H6 (H1 is the lowest setting and H6 is the highest setting).
4. Press the On/off button to set the softener level.
Note: The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes and utensils. The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt container specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.
Page 13
Water Hardness & Setting the Salt
It is recommended that adjustments should be made in accordance with the following scheme:
Note: Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.
Loading the salt into the container
Important Note:
Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers. Every other type of salt not
specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. In case of damage caused by the use of unsuitable salt the manufacturer do not give any warranty and we are not liable for any damage caused.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programs.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on
the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as explained in the following section:
1. Remove the lower basket and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container. See diagram 1 on the following page.
2. Place the salt funnel that is provided into the hole and pour approximately 1.5kg of dishwasher salt into the salt container
3. Fully fill the salt container with water. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container. See diagram 2 on the following page.
4. After filling the container, screw the cap tightly back clockwise.
5. Usually, the salt warning indicator light will stop being illuminated within 2-6 days after the salt container has been filled.

6. Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing program should be started (We suggest to use the Quick or rapid programs) Otherwise the filter system, pump or other important parts of the machine may be damaged by salty water. This may affect the guarantee.
Note:
The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light in the control panel
comes on. Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be on even though the salt container is filled.
If there are spills of salt, a soak or a rapid program should be run to remove the excessive
salt.
Rinse Aid Dispenser
Rinse Aid dispenser
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to roll off the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to the detergent dispenser. To fill the dispenser, open the cap and pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator turns completely black. The volume of the rinse aid container is about 110ml.
Function of Rinse Aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.
Important note:
Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This may damage the appliance.

When to Refill the Rinse Aid Dispenser
There is a rinse aid warning indicator light in the control panel which will light when there is no
or little rinse aid in the rinse aid dispenser. Alternatively you can manually check/estimate the
amount of rinse aid in the rinse aid dispenser from the colour of the optical level indicator located next to the cap. When the rinse-aid container is full, the whole indicator will be darker. As the rinse-aid diminishes, the size of the dark dot decreases. You should never let the rinse aid level fall 1/4 full.
As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below:
1. To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the "open" (left) arrow and lift it out.
2. Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill.
3. Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with "open" arrow and turning it to the closed (right)
arrow.
NOTE: Clean up any rinse aid spilled while during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excessive foaming during the next wash. Don't forget to replace the cap before you close dishwasher door.

Rinse Aid Dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser has six settings. Always start with the dispenser set on "4". If spots and poor drying are a problem, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by removing the dispenser cover and rotating the dial to "5". If the dishes still aren’t drying properly or have spots on them, adjust the dial to the next higher lever until your dishes are spot-free. The recommended setting is "4“ (Factory setting is "4".)
Note: Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish stains on your dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.
Detergent
Detergent with its chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport it out of the dishwasher.
Important notes:
Only use detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers.
Keep your detergent fresh and dry.
Don't put powder detergent into the dispenser until you're ready to wash dishes.
Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Keep it out of reach of children.
Detergents
There are 3 sorts of detergents:
1. With phosphate and with chlorine
2. With phosphate and without chlorine
3. Without phosphate and without chlorine

Detergent
Normally new pulverised detergent is without phosphate. Thus the water softener function of phosphate is not given. In this case we recommend to fill salt in the salt container even when
the hardness of water is only 7*clarke. If detergents without phosphate are used in the case of
hard water often white spots appear on dishes and glasses. In this case please add more detergent to reach better results. Detergents without chlorine do only bleach a little. Strong and coloured spots will not be removed completely. In this case please choose a program with a higher temperature.
Concentrated Detergent
Based on their chemical composition, detergents can be split in two basic types:
conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components
low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes
Detergent Tablets
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some
detergent tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programs.
Therefore please use long programs when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.
Detergent Dispenser
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the wash cycle table. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. More heavily soiled items will need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly if added mid cycle.
Page 18

Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser is located on the inside of the dishwasher door and is approximately halfway up the door. The dispenser can be filled with either detergent powder or a detergent tablet, compartment A can be loaded with detergent powder or a detergent tablet and compartment B can be loaded with a detergent tablet or Pre-wash cycle detergent
Filling the Detergent Dispenser
Note: observe the dosing and storage recommendations that are stated on the detergent packaging.
1. The detergent dispenser will automatically open during a washing cycle to release the detergent powder or detergent tablet into the appliance. However should you need to manually open the dispenser you can do this by pushing the latch on top of the dispenser, the dispenser door will spring open

Information about the amount of detergent for each program can be located in the program information section. Please be aware that the amount of detergent that is to be used can be
affected by the level soiling of your dishes and the water hardness of the area you live in. Please
observe the manufacturer's recommendations on the detergent packaging.
Note:
Only use detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers.
Observe the dosing and storage recommendations that are stated on the detergent
packaging.

Loading the Dishwasher
Notes:
Only purchase and wash utensils which are identified as dishwasher safe.
Use a mild detergent that is described as 'kind to dishes'. If necessary, seek further
information from the detergent manufacturers.
For particular items, select a program with as low a temperature as possible.
To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately after
the program has ended.
Items not suitable for the dishwasher
Cutlery with wooden, horn china or mother-of-pearl handles
Plastic items that are not heat resistant
Older cutlery with glued parts that are not high temperature resistant
Bonded cutlery items or dishes
Pewter or copper items
Crystal glass
Steel items are subject to rusting, specifically knife steel.
Wooden platters
Items made from synthetic fibres
Items that may not be suitable for the dishwasher
Some types of glasses can become dull after a large number of washes
Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing
Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently
Before Loading the Dishwasher
For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines (Features and appearance of baskets and cutlery baskets may vary from your model):
1. Scrape off any large amounts of left over food from dishes/crockery
2. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans and other crockery.
3. Place objects in the dishwasher in the following way:
a. Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are faced downwards. b. Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded at an angle so that water can
run off.
c. All utensils are stacked securely and can not tip over.
Page 21
Loading the Dishwasher
d. All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotate freely during
washing.
e. Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. with the opening facing
downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base. f. Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other. g. To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch. h. Load large items which are most difficult to clean into the lower basket.
i. The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as
glasses, coffee and tea cups. j. Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned
horizontally in the upper basket. Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are

Loading the Upper Basket
The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty).
Position the dishes and cookware so that they will not get moved by the spray of water. The
below diagram is an example of how to load the upper basket:
Loading the Lower Basket
We suggest that you place large items and the most difficult to clean items into the lower basket: such as pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure below. It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.
Notes:
Pots, serving bowls, etc., must always be placed top down
Deep pots should be slanted to allow water to flow out
The lower basket features folding spikes so that larger/more pots and pans can be loaded.

Connection of the Water Supply & Drain Hose
Important notes:
Connection to the water and electricity supplies should only be performed by a qualified technician.
The dishwasher should not stand on top of the water hoses or the electricity supply cable. The water inlet and outlet hoses and the electricity supply cable may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to achieve the best possible installation.
Connection of the Drain hose
Important notes:
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.
It MUST NOT be connected to a surface water drain.
Do Not connect the dishwasher to the drain with an extended drainage hose (use the
ones supplied with the appliance), if an extension hose is needed then a pump must be installed to pump the drainage through and out.
Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe that has a minimum diameter of 4cm (40mm) making
sure to avoid bending or crimping it. Use the drain hose hook (accessory 13) that is supplied
with the appliance. The top of the hose must be at a height between 40cm/400mm (B on the diagram) and 80cm/800mm (A on the diagram). The free end of the hose must not be immersed in water to avoid the back flow of it.
Ensure the drain hose is securely attached, to prevent it coming away while the machine is in use and causing a flood.

Maintenance & Cleaning
Filtering System
The filter prevents larger remnants of food or other objects from getting inside the pump. The residue may block the filter, in this case they must be removed.
The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (Main filter) and a micro filter (Fine filter).
Filter Assembly
Important notes:
The dishwasher must never be used without the filters.
Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the
appliance and damage dishes and utensils.
The filter efficiently removes particles of food from the wash water, allowing it to be recycled during the wash cycle. For best performance and cleaning results, the filter must be cleaned regularly. For this reason, it is recommended to remove the larger food particles trapped in the filter after each use by removing all debris from all parts of the filter (you may need to use a cleaning brush to remove all debris from the coarse and fine filters) and rinse all parts of the filter under running water.
1) Main Filter
Food and soil particles trapped in this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the lower spray arm and washed down to drain.
3) Fine filter
This filter holds soil and food residues in the sump area and prevents it from being redeposit on the dishes during wash cycle.

Maintenance & Cleaning
No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Only use a cloth with warm soapy water.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
When not in use for a long time
It is recommend that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly open. This will help the door seals to last longer and prevent odours from forming within the appliance.
Moving the Appliance
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back but cannot be left in this position.
Seals
One of the factors that cause odours to form in the dishwasher is food that remains food
debris and moisture in the seals. Periodic cleaning these with a damp sponge will prevent this
from occurring.
