INSTALLATION

Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.

Positioning

If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain.

The sides and the back of the dishwasher can rest against the adjacent furniture or the wall.

The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation.

Levelling

Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the door.

Diagram of a mechanical or electrical component with curved arrows indicating direction (no text or symbols)

Loosen or tighten the adjustable support feet, until the machine is perfectly level.

Adjusting the Worktop

You can move the worktop forward or backward by 25 mm in order to align the machine with other kitchen units.

Diagram of a mechanical device with a circular component and a tool, no visible text or symbols

Simply unscrew the two front retaining screws, move the top to the required position and then retighten the screws.

Installing and Securing the Machine Under a Kitchen Unit (Sink-Worktop Unit)

By removing the machine's worktop, you can install it under a close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, if the dimensions of the recess correspond to those shown in the picture.

Then proceed as follows:

Remove the machine worktop by unscrewing the two front retaining screws, pull from the front and slide out of the rear slots, lifting the worktop. Insert the machine after adjusting the height and levelling with the adjustable feet. When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet and drain hoses are not kinked or squashed.

Caution

Once the machine has been installed, ensure that it can be accessed easily for servicing.

Fitting a Decor Panel on the Door

The door of this machine has frames for fitting a plastic laminate decor panel in the colour required to match the dishwasher with the rest of the kitchen furniture. If you wish to do this you must provide the panel yourself.

Width: 588 mm

Height 586 mm

Max thickness: 4 mm

To fit the panel, proceed as follows:

Technical line drawing of a rectangular industrial or mechanical cabinet with mounting flanges and a central lid (no text or symbols)

Take the door frame off after removing the retaining screws around the edge.

Position the panel, refit the frame and tighten the retaining screws around the edge.

Note

The panel should be fitted before positioning the machine.

Water Outlet Connection

The end of the drain hose can be connected as follows:

to the sink outlet siphon, securing it if necessary with a clip;

to a wall outlet provided with vent-hole, minimum internal diameter 4 cm;

hooked over the edge of the sink using the special curved plastic guide provided.

The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the floor.

It makes no difference which way the drain hose faces, either to the right or left of the dishwasher.

Avoid bending or kinking the hose as this could prevent or slow down the discharge of water.

If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer than 2 metres and its internal diameter must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.

Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for connection to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the diameter of the drain hose.

Water Supply Connections

This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 60°C) or cold water.

Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply.

A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a lot.

Feeding the appliance with a hot water supply (max. 60°C) will allow you to obtain considerably shorter programmes.

Technical diagram of a mechanical assembly with labeled components (no readable text or symbols)

For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the machine's supply hose is designed to screw onto either a 3/4 inch gas thread spout, or to a purpose made quick-coupling tap such as the Press-Block. To make this easier, the hose itself may

be turned to the left or the right. In either case, be sure to incorporate the strainer (A) supplied with the machine onto the joint. See picture.

The water pressure must be within the limits given in the technical specifications, as it will not function correctly if pressure is outside these specifications.

Caution: the retaining ring must be properly fitted so as to avoid water leaks.

Diagram of a mechanical device with a rotating component and wiring (no text or symbols)

Note: the end of the hose connected to the machine can be positioned as required, by simply slackening the retaining ring.

Re-tighten the ring securely to avoid water leaks.

Avoid bends or kinks in the hose, which could prevent or slow down the flow of water.

If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not been used for a long time, you are advised to 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.

Electrical connection

Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket, make sure that:

1. the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage given in the technical specifications;

2. the meter, fuses, mains power supply and wall socket can all take the maximum load required.

Make sure that the socket and plug are compatible without having to use any type of adapter. If necessary, have the domestic wiring system socket replaced.

Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed.

The Manufacturer accepts no liability for failure to observe the above safety precautions.

Drying

The Water Softener

Water contains varying amounts of lime and mineral salts depending on the area in which you live: these are deposited on the dishes leaving white marks.

The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water will be. The “hardness” level is measured on 2 equivalent scales: French Degrees or German Degrees.

Contact your local Water Authority to find the exact water hardness level for your area.

The dishwasher is equipped with a softener which uses special dishwasher salt to provide lime-free (softened) water. The softener can treat water hardness up to 90 french degrees via 5 adjustment levels.

Find on the table below the level corresponding to the hardness of your water and the required adjustments:

Water hardness		Level	Use of salt	Water softener adjustment	Adjustment on the machine
^ dH German degrees	^ tH French Degrees
0-7	0-14	1	NO	NO	NO
8-21	15-39	^ 2	YES	NO	NO
22-28	40-50	3	YES	YES	NO
29-39	51-70	4	YES	NO	YES
40-50	71-90	5	YES	YES	YES

* The water softener is factory set at level 2 as this suits most users.

Level 1

If your water is «level 1» it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt.

Levels 3 and 5 (water softener adjustment)

If your water is level 3 or 5, proceed as follows:

slide out the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt container;

turn the two-position selector anticlockwise from position - to position + with the aid of a knife or a screwdriver.

Levels 4 and 5 (adjustment on the machine)

If your water is level 4 or 5, open the door and drill membrane (A) on the upper left-hand corner of the machine.

With a water hardness of level 5 both adjustments must be made.

Important

Salt MUST be used regularly from level 2 upward.

Filling with Salt

Only use salt designed specifically for use in dishwashers. Other types of salt contain high percentages of other substances which may reduce the efficiency of the softener.

Unscrew the cap of the salt container.

Fill the container with water.

Place approximately 1.5 kg of dishwasher salt inside using the funnel provided (see figure).

Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.

Screw the cap on tightly.

When this has been done, all that is required is to periodically add salt to the container. You are reminded of this by a green refill indicator on the cap of the salt container. When the green indicator disappears, the water softener needs refilling with salt.

Caution

Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes (not the Rinse and Hold programme). 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. This could cause corrosion.

Rinse Aid

This liquid gives the dishes a shiny finish and improves drying. It is automatically added during the hot rinse. 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.

Filling with Rinse Aid

Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise.

Add rinse aid until the container is completely full (approx. 110 ml). The indicator (B) will be completely dark.

Top up with rinse aid when the indicator (B) becomes clear.

Remember to CLOSE the lid after every refill.

Caution

Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.

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 dose, position 6 - maximum dose). Gradually 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.

Use of Detergent

Before starting any of the dishwashing programmes, except for the rinse and hold programme, load the detergent in the dispenser.

Use only tablets, powder or liquid detergents specifically designed for domestic dishwashers.

Unsuitable detergents (such as those for washing by hand) do not contain the right ingredients for machine washing and hamper correct functioning of the machine.

To open the dispenser lid, pull the catch (D). This will open it.

At the end of any washing programme the lid is always open, ready for the next wash.

The amount of detergent to be used varies depending on how soiled the dishes are and the type of dishes being washed. We recommend the amounts shown in the programme chart.

After filling the dispenser with detergent, close the lid.

Since not all detergents are the same, you should also consult the instructions on the packet.

Remember that insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor washing results whereas an excessive amount of detergent does not improve washing results and is also wasteful.

Using no more than the correct amount of detergent also contributes to reducing pollution.

Loading your Machine

Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any large scraps of food from the plates (small bones, toothpicks, fish bones, scraps of meat and vegetables, fruit skins etc.) to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing performance.

Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.

Use of the Lower Basket

The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates (up to 27 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cutlery etc.

Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn freely.

Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards. If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upward.

Mix spoons with the other cutlery to prevent them sticking together.

On some models the cutlery basket is supplied without a handle.

Use of the Upper Basket

The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses; these should be arranged as shown in the pictures.

Glasses with long stems can be placed upside-down in the raised cup-racks.

Caution

When loading the dishes, ensure that you do not cover the water inlet funnel in the middle of the upper basket.

Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.

Adjusting the Height of the Upper Basket

If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 31 cm in diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position as follows:

Move the front runner stops (A) of the upper basket outward and slide the basket out.

Refit the basket in the higher position and replace the stops (A) in their original position.

When the top basket is in the higher position it will only take plates up to 20 cm in diameter and you will not be able to use the raised cup racks.

HELPFUL HINTS

For Best Washing Results:

Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very heavily soiled pots and pans.

Always arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside-down.

Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water drains off easily.

Long items of cutlery such as ladles, carving knives etc. should be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.

Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible; correct arrangement of the items will give better washing results.

Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so that they do not move during washing.

You will improve drying results by leaving the dishwasher door ajar for at least 15-30 minutes as soon as the programme finishes.

To Save Energy

Do not prewash dishes under running water.

Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal and wait until the dishwasher is full before washing.

If necessary run the Rinse and Hold programme (see Programme Chart on the following pages), so that any food scraps do not become caked on the dishes while you are waiting to run the complete wash programme.

Items not Suitable for Dishwashers

The following should not be washed in the dishwasher:

Cutlery or dishes with wooden or horn handles or glued parts.

Handmade items, wooden objects, antiques or hand-painted china.

Certain types of decoration can discolour when washed in a dishwasher.

Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed dishwasher-proof, should be washed by hand. You are advised to place them in the upper basket and to select a delicate programme.

Certain types of glass can also become opaque after being washed several times in a dishwasher.

Silver cutlery tends to go black if mixed with steel cutlery. Place it in the cutlery basket separate from the others.

Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items.

Aluminium tends to go black; copper, pewter and brass tend to stain.

Caution: You are advised not to load very small items which can fall through the baskets.

Note: When buying new dishes, ensure that they are dishwasher-proof.

In general it is not advisable to open the door while the machine is working; if the door is opened however, a safety device ensures that the machine stops.

If you have to open the door while the machine is working, always switch off the appliance first by pressing the ON/OFF button.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Cleaning the Central Filters (After each wash)

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 then be removed by pressing the two tongues (D).

Once cleaned, refit the filters by pressing them down until they click into place.

Cleaning the Large Filter (Once a month)

Clean the large filter (A) on both sides under running water, using a brush.

To take it out, remove the spray arm by pressing the two tongues (E), turn the ring (F) anticlockwise (towards the left) and then slide the whole part out. Refit the filter following the above instructions in reverse order.

Caution: the dishwasher must not be used without filters.

Incorrect repositioning of the filters will produce poor washing results.

Cleaning of the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of the machine.

Internal and External Cleaning

You must ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.

Check that the spray arm nozzles are not obstructed.

To remove the bottom spray arm, release it from its securing catches and pull it out. To clean the nozzles of the top spray arm, slide out the top basket whereby the spray arm will become accessible. To remove it, unhook it from the central support (see Reversible Spray Arm).

Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a soft damp cloth. If necessary use only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or solvents (acetone, trichloroethylene etc...).

Prolonged Periods of Non-Operation

If you are not using the machine for any period of time you are advised to:

unplug the appliance and turn off the water;

fill the rinse aid dispenser;

leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of unpleasant smells;

leave the inside of the machine clean.
