5) 6) 7) Delay start button ON/OFF indicator neon ON/OFF button Using your dishwasher Before first use o Install the appliance as per the installation instructions contained within this booklet. o Fill the water softener with 1 litre of tap water and then fill with specialist dishwasher salt. After this you should set the water softener level. o Fill the rinse aid dispenser and then set the rinse aid dosage.
o Pour salt into the water softener, using the funnel that is supplied with the appliance. You should add approximately 1.2 kg of salt into the water softener. o It is perfectly normal for a small amount of water to come out of the water softener, whilst you are filling it with salt. This does not mean that the water softener is filled with the correct amount of salt. o Refit and fully tighten the water softener cap.
o Locate the ring with an arrow on it that is located on the water softener. (See figure opposite). o When you first receive your appliance, the arrow will be pointing to the minus symbol. Using the water hardness chart, you should turn the arrow to the setting that is appropriate for your water hardness. o The “middle” selector position is halfway between the minus and plus symbols.
o IMPORTANT: If you are using 3 in 1 dishwasher tablets then you should still fill the rinse aid dispenser. Setting the rinse aid level The amount of rinse aid that the dishwasher requires also depends on the hardness of your water. You should experiment with the rinse aid setting, until you find a level that gives the best results. o On the first wash cycle, we would recommend that the rinse aid level is set to number 2.
o The section marked 2 in the diagram can have separate detergent placed in it for any wash cycle that has a pre-wash element to it, however this is optional. This must be a liquid or powder detergent, not another detergent tablet. o Shut the detergent dispenser lid and position the clip on the outer edge, so that it holds the lid shut. o At the beginning of a wash cycle the clip will open and the tablet/powder/liquid will enter the dishwasher.
Adjusting the upper basket Your dishwasher has an adjustable upper basket which you can alter to the most suitable position for the items you are going to wash in the upper basket. o The height of the upper basket can be adjusted by removing the upper basket from the guide supports. o IMPORTANT: The upper basket must be empty when you are removing it from the guide supports. Lower position o If the upper wheels are placed in the guide supports, then the basket is in the lower position.
Upper position o If the lower wheels are placed in the guide supports, then the basket is in the upper position. o For accommodating items such as glass tumblers and wine glasses. Wine glasses should be placed upside down, so that the stem of the glass rests in one of the grooves on the side flap. o Please note that when the basket is in the upper position, you cannot have the side flaps in a raised position. Otherwise the basket will not slide back into the interior of the dishwasher.
o Saucepans and serving bowls must always be placed with their bases upwards. o Deep saucepans should be slanted, to allow water to run off. o The bottom rack has prongs at the rear of the basket that can be folded downwards, to allow for easier loading of larger saucepans and serving bowls. The cutlery basket Cutlery should be placed inside of the cutlery basket. The cutlery basket should then be placed in the appropriate position in the lower basket. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
o Cups, glasses, pans etc should all be loaded with their bases upwards, so that water does not collect inside of them. o Cutlery and dishes should not cover each other; otherwise you may get poor wash results. o Do not allow glasses to touch inside the dishwasher, otherwise damage may occur. o Small objects can be placed inside of the cutlery basket. The following items are NOT suitable for washing inside a dishwasher:o Cutlery with a handle of mother-of-pearl, wood, horn or china.
o Any food residue should be removed from silver immediately, as this can also result in discolouration. items o Certain types of glass may become dull or cloudy after a large number of washes. Program table o The ECONOMY program is suitable for cleaning a typical load of dirty dishes and is the most efficient in terms of its combined energy and water consumption.

Turn the coarse filter anti-clockwise and then lift it upwards. Rinse out this section under a tap to remove any food debris that remains in it. 2. Pull out the main filter and rinse this under the tap to remove any food debris that is trapped in it. 3.
Cleaning the spray arms The spray arms should be cleaned regularly, to prevent hard water deposits from clogging the spray arm jets and bearings. o To remove the spray arm, unscrew the nut and take out the washer that sits on top of the spray arm. o Gently pull upwards to remove the spray arm. o Wash the spray arm in warm, soapy water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. o Rinse the spray arm thoroughly and then reassemble the spray arm back in its original position.
