Prior to using for the first time  
Before using your dishwasher for the first time:  
Filling with salt  
1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply  
with the installation instructions  
Special salt can be added in one of two ways:  
2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance  
G
If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains  
salt, the detergent including the salt is placed in the  
detergent compartment.  
- In this case the water softener must be set to level 1 to  
ensure that the special salt is taken from the detergent  
container only.  
3. Set the water softener  
4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill  
with salt  
5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser  
G
If you are using dishwasher detergent and salt separately,  
the special salt is to be put into the salt container.  
- In this case the water softener must manually be set  
between 2 and 5 (depending on the water hardness in  
your area) to ensure that the special salt is taken from  
the detergent container only.  
Setting the water softener  
The dishwasher 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 salts, the harder your water is.  
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, Clarke  
degrees, French degrees and PPM (parts per Million).  
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.  
Only use salt specifically designed for use in  
dishwashers.  
All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in  
a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water  
softener.  
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the washing  
programmes (not the Rinse and Hold programme).  
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which  
may have been spilt, remaining on the bottom of the  
machine for any period of time, which may cause  
corrosion.  
The dishwasher is factory set at level 2. If this level is not  
suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted.

Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.  
Rinse aid  
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent  
cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.  
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring  
thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. The  
dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about 110  
ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing  
programmes, depending upon the dosage setting.  
Use only branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse  
aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher  
cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the  
appliance.  
Rinse aid can be added in one of two ways:  
Adjusting the dose  
According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the  
dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (C)  
(position 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage).  
G
If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains  
rinse aid, the detergent including the rinse aid is placed in  
the detergent compartment.  
- In this case the rinse aid compartment must be empty.  
If in the rinse aid dispenser there is still rinse aid you  
must wait until it has finished before using detergent that  
contains rinse aid.  
Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on  
the dishes after washing.  
Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes.  
G
If you are using dishwasher detergent and rinse aid  
separately, the rinse aid is to be put into the rinse aid  
dispenser.  
- In this case the rinse aid dosage must be set in position  
from 1 to 6 (see "Adjusting the dose").  
Filling with rinse aid  
1. Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise.

Use of "3 in 1" combi detergent tablets  
General advice  
These products are tablets with combined detergent/rinse-aid  
and salt functions.  
1. Before using these products you should first check that the  
water hardness in your supply is compatible with the use of  
these products as per the detergent manufacturers (on the  
product packaging).  
2. These products should be strictly used according to the  
detergent manufacturers instructions.  
Do not place the tablets in the tub or in the cutlery  
basket as this will result in poorer wash results. The  
tablets should be placed in the detergent dispenser.  
3. If you encounter problems when using 3 in 1 products for  
the first time then please contact the detergent  
manufacturers care line (the telephone number is given on  
the product packaging).  
Special advice  
When using combination products, select the lowest possible  
setting for water hardness.  
For more information please refer to the instruction manual.  
If you decide to turn back to the use of the standard detergent  
system we advise that you:  
G Refill both the salt container and rinse aid dispenser.  
G Switch the water hardness setting to the highest possible  
position and run a normal washing programme without a  
load.  
G Readjust the water hardness setting again according to the  
hardness of the water in your area.  
Concentrated detergent  
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents  
can be split into two basic types:  
- conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components.  
- low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.  
The use of 50°C washing programmes in conjunction with  
concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your  
dishes; these wash programmes are specially matched to the  
dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes in the concentrated  
detergent. For this reason 50°C wash programmes in which  
concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same  
results that can otherwise only be achieved using 65°C  
programmes.  
Detergent tablets  
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different  
speeds. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot  
develop their full cleaning power during short programmes.  
Therefore please use normal programmes with prewash when  
using detergent tablets.

Hot steam may escape from the appliance when opening  
the door immediately after the end of the programme,  
therefore, open the door carefully.  
Unloading the dishwasher  
Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should  
therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from  
the appliance.  
Leave the dishes in the dishwasher for approx. 15  
minutes, with the door ajar, after the end of programme  
so that they dry better and will be cooler.  
Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this  
will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the  
dishes in the lower one.  
When the washing programme has finished, it is  
recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the  
water tap turned off.

Maintenance and cleaning  
Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel  
with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral  
detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or  
solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....).  
To ensure a correct working of the dishwasher, NEVER try  
to remove the upper spray arm.  
If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the upper spray  
arm, remove them with a toothpick.  
Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse  
aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.  
We recommend the use of Finish Dishwasher Cleaner every  
3 months or run a 65°C wash programme without dishes using  
detergent.  
Regular use of Finish Dishwasher Cleaner cleans  
inaccessible parts, eliminates unpleasant food odours and  
helps prevent the build-up of limescale.  
Prolonged periods of non-operation  
If you are not using the machine for any period of time you are  
advised to:  
1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water.  
2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.  
3. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any  
unpleasant smells.  
4. Leave the inside of the machine clean.  
Cleaning the central filters  
(After each wash)  
Frost precautions  
Inspect the central filters (B) and (C) and remove any scraps of  
food with a brush, under running water.  
Filters (B) and (C) are both removed by lifting up the outer one  
(B) (pulling the central funnel upwards); the smaller filter (C)  
can be removed by pressing the two tongues (D).  
Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature  
is below 0°C. If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close  
the appliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty  
it.  
Once cleaned, refit the filters by pressing them down until they  
click into place.  
Moving the machine  
If you have to move the machine (moving house etc....):  
1. Unplug it.  
2. Turn the water tap off.  
3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.  
4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses.

Installation instructions  
Any electrical work required to install this appliance  
should be carried out by a qualified electrician or  
competent person.  
Water supply connections  
This dishwasher must be plumbed into a cold water supply.  
The water pressure must be within the limits given in the  
technical specifications.  
Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average  
mains pressure in your area.  
The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be  
turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation.  
The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks.  
Any plumbing work required to install this appliance  
should be carried out by a qualified plumber or competent  
person.  
Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.  
If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a  
drain.  
Do not use, for the connection, old hoses which have  
been used in another appliance.  
Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could prevent or slow  
down the water supply.  
Fitting under a counter  
(kitchen worktop or sink)  
By removing the machine’s worktop, you can install it under a  
close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, providing the  
dimensions of the recess correspond to those shown in the  
picture.  
If the machine 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 will prevent  
deposits of sand or rust clogging the inlet hose filter.

Proceed as follows:  
-
Remove the machine’s worktop by unscrewing the two front  
retaining screws, pull from the front and slide out the rear  
slots, lifting the worktop.  
Insert the machine after adjusting height and levelling with the  
adjustable feet. When inserting the machine, ensure that the  
water inlet and drain hoses are not kinked or squashed.  
Levelling  
Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of  
the door.  
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch  
on the levelling spacers on either side of the cabinet.  
If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the  
adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.
