Read this first! Congratulations on your choice of dishwasher! We hope that you will have many years of trouble-free use from it. You can make your own contribution towards this by reading through the whole instruction book carefully before using the machine. This will beep you to avoid making mistakes and will also provide you with some tips on functions and features which will enable you to make better use of your dishwasher.
Installation CONTENTS: Who should install the machine? Level the machine Furring into kitchen units. Connection of water inlet, water outlet and electricity. Setting the childproof door lock. WHO SHOULD INSTALL THE MACHINE? Electrical and plumbing work should be carried out ‘ by a qualified person or persons. If you carry out any part of the installation work yourself, you must find I q out what regulations are applicable, and then comply with them.
FITTING INTO KITCHEN UNITS Before positioning the machine, you can set the feet in approximately the right position at the front by extending them downwards slightly. Pass the hoses and mains cable through the hole at the very back of the kitchen unit where appropriate. Pull them in gradually, whilst guiding the machine carefully in. Avoid lifting and pulling the control panel. Check that the hoses have not kinked. CONNECTING THE OUTLET HOSE +2m ax mind gem .
CONNECTING THE INLET HOSE Since your machine is provided with a water-softener filter, we recommend cold fill. (The times and consumption values in the programmer selection guide are calculated for an inlet temperature of 15°C}. If you choose to connect your machine to hot water instead, please note that the temperature of the incoming water should not exceed 70°C. If it does, a thermostatically controlled mixer should be installed ahead of the inlet.
Using the machine for the first time CONTENTS: Before starting. Filling with salt and regulating amount dispensed. What you con wash. How to load the machine. Filling the detergent dispenser. Filling the vines-aid dispenser. Operating the machine.
FILLING WITH SALT -, Your machine is fitted with a water softening v filter. The softening process prevents limescale deposits forming in the machine and on your dishes. Before using the machine you must fill the special container at the bottom of the machine with coarse salt available especially for dishwashers. Do not use table salt. The container holds 1.5 kg of salt, which is sufficient for 15-30 loads, depending on the amount dispensed (see below).
WHAT YOU CAN WASH Many items come with instructions indicating whether they are dishwasher-proof. However, the following comments may be useful: CHINA: In some cases the decoration may be unprotected, on the outside of the glaze, and colors may fade if they are washed repeatedly by machine. Be aware of this when buying new china. GLASS: Problems rarely occur. You should make sure there is rinse-aid in the machine and that the correct amount is dispensed (see below).
! HOW TO LOAD THE MACHINE First scrape off large remnants of food. You do not need to rinse the dishes beforehand, but remove all hard objects (see also note on sand above). The UPPER RACK is used for cups, glassware, small dishes and plates, bowls, knives and other long objects which are not suitable for placing in the cutlery basket {excessively long objects in the cutlery basket may obstruct the upper spray arm). Place cups and glasses upside down, preferably at an angle so that the water can run off.
FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER The detergent dispenser is on the inside of the door and is graduated to indicate the different amounts to be dispensed. Do not use ordinary washing-up liquid. Use only good quality dishwasher powder, otherwise there is risk of excessive foaming and machine breakdowns. Follow the dosage instructions on the packer. Do not forger 1o close the dispenser; it opens automatically while the programmer is running.
FILLING THE RINSE-AID DISPENSER When the "window" to the left of the filler hole becomes colorless, the rinse-aid needs topping up. Keep filling until the rinse-aid is visible in the dispenser. Carefully wipe away any spills to avoid excessive foaming. If excessive foaming does occur, you can clean foam away from the machine by pouring a tablespoonful of cooking oil into the machine and running a short programmer without detergent.

SELECTING THE APPROPRIATE PROGRAMMER A brief description of the basic programmers follows: 775, RINSE AND HOLD can be used when you 'V load the machine little by tilde and in preparation for a "proper” wash programmer later. The rinse and hold programmer is economical on water and uses very little energy since no heating takes place. Do not use DeGeneres. D LONG is used for casserole dishes, saucepans and other large or heavily soiled items. Recommended washing temperature 65°C. Rewash at around 55°C.
Useful tips CONTENTS: Height-adjustable upper rack. Washing particularly lave items. Somme comments on economy and the environment. The following sections describe some functions and features which will enable you to get more benefit from your machine: HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE UPPER RACK You can position the upper rack at two different levels, depending on the height of the items you wish to place in the upper and lower racks.
SOME COMMENTS ON ECONOMY AND THE ENVIRONMENT You have purchased a very energy-efficient machine, which is economical with energy and water. It uses only 21 liters of water for the normal and long programmed, and even less for shorter programmed You can also make further energy savings by your choice of wash temperature. I] 55° One way is through temperature selection.
Care and maintenance — — CONTENTS: Cleaning the outside of the machine. Cleaning the spray arms. Cleaning the coarse filter and fine filter. Measures to take whee thee is o vise of freezing. This section describes how best to look afire your machine so that you ger the greatest possible benefit from it with the least possible worries for the longest possible time: CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE MACHINE Wipe the machine clean with a damp cloth and a nonabrasive liquid cleaning agent.
CLEANING THE COARSE FILTER AND FINE FILTER It is best to check the COARSE FILTER in the middle of the fine filter after each wash. If there is dirt in it, tune it anticlockwise and lift it out, Emory out the dirt and rinse clean. When replacing the coarse filter, turn it until it snaps into position. The FINE FILTER is self-cleaning, i.c. it rinses itself clean during the course of the washing process. However, the underside may sometimes need cleaning.
Safety SAFETY: The Permafrost system. Child safety. Setting of door safety lock. Importance of securing the machine in position with screws. Heat warning. Turning off tower and electricity. Your dishwasher is a convenient and useful appliance. But it also contains several dangers — €.g. hot water and firepower detergent and should therefore be treated with respect and caution.
CHILD SAFETY Always keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children. Keep it in a safe place, wipe away any spillage immediately and never leave the door open with detergent in the machine.
