• Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions
• Remove all packaging from inside the appliance

• Set the water softener level

• Pour 1 litre of water into the salt container and then fill with dishwasher salt

• Fill the rinse aid dispenser

If you want to use combi detergent tablets such as: "3 in 1", "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc... set the Multitab function. (See "Multitab function").

Set 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 minerals and salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German degrees (dH^) , French degrees (^) and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit for the hardness of water).

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.

The water softener must be set in two ways: manually, using the water hardness dial and electronically.

Water hardness			Adjusting the water hardness setting		Use of salt
°dH	°TH	mmol/l	manually	electronically
51 - 70	91 - 125	9,1 - 12,5	2	level 10	yes
43 - 50	76 - 90	7,6 - 9,0	2	level 9	yes
37 - 42	65 - 75	6,5 - 7,5	2	level 8	yes
29 - 36	51 - 64	5,1 - 6,4	2	level 7	yes
23 - 28	40 - 50	4,0 - 5,0	2	level 6	yes
19 - 22	33 - 39	3,3 - 3,9	2	level 5	yes
15 - 18	26 - 32	2,6 - 3,2	1	level 4	yes
11 - 14	19 - 25	1,9 - 2,5	1	level 3	yes

2. Simultaneously press and hold function buttons B and C, until the lights of function buttons A, B and C start flashing.
3. Press function button A, the lights of function buttons B and C go off while the light of function button A continues to flash, at the same the End indicator light starts to flash.

The current level is indicated by the number of flashes of the End indicator light.

Examples:

5 flashes, pause, 5 flashes, pause, etc. = level 5
6 flashes, pause, 6 flashes, pause, etc. = level 6

1. To change the level, press function button A. Each time the button is pressed the level changes. (For the selection of the new level see the chart).

Examples: If the current level is 5, by pressing function button A once, level 6 is selected. if the current level is 10, by

pressing function button A once, level 1 is selected.

1. To memorize the operation, switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off button.

Use of dishwasher salt

Warning!

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 complete washing programmes. 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.

To fill:

1. Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt container by turning it anticlockwise.
2. Pour 1 litre of water into the container (this is necessary only before filling with salt for the first time).
3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until the container is full.

1. Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.
2. Replace the cap tightly turning it clockwise until it stops with a click.

i Do not worry if water overflows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal.
The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched on. If you are using salt that takes longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The operation of the machine is not affected.

Use of rinse aid

Warning! Only use 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 ensures thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.

Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse.

1. Open the container by pressing the release button (A).

1. Add the rinse aid in the container. The maximum level for filling is indicated by "max".

The dispenser holds about 110ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for between 16 and

40 washing cycles, depending upon the dosage setting.

1. Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.

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

According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (position 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage). The dose is factory set in position 4. 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 or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

Daily use

• Check if it's necessary to refill with dishwasher salt or rinse aid.
• Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher.
• Fill with dishwasher detergent.
• Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and dishes.
• Start the wash programme.

Helpful hints and tips

Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water may not be washed in the dishwasher.

• Before loading the dishes, you should:
• Remove all left over food and debris.

• Soften remnants of burnt food in pans

• When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:

• Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms.

• Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
  Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
• To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.

• Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.

• Plastic items and pans with non stick coatings have a tendency to retain water drops; these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel items.

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

For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes

are not suitable:

• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-of-pearls handles.
• Plastic items that are not heat resistant.
• Older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature resistant.
• Bonded cutlery items or dishes.
• Pewter or copper items.
• Lead crystal glass.
• Steel items prone to rusting.
• Wooden platters.
• Items made from synthetics fibres.

are of limited suitability:

• Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specially marked as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.
• Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently.
  Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing: Residues, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore always clean left-overs from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed straight after use.

Load cutlery and dishes

The lower basket

The lower basket is designed to take saucepan, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc. Service dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the spray arms can turn freely.

The rows of prongs in the lower basket can lie flat to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls.

The cutlery basket

! Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard. Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives.

Forks and spoons should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards and the knives with their handles facing upwards.

If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upwards. Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together.

For best results we recommend that you use the cutlery grid provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it).

The upper basket

The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses.

Arrange items on and underneath the cup racks so that water can reach all surfaces.

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

For taller items, the cup racks can be folded upwards.

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

Adjusting the height of the upper basket

If washing very large plates you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position.

Maximum height of the dishes in the lower basket
With upper basket raised	33 cm
With upper basket lowered	29 cm

To move to the higher position proceed as follows:

1. Pull out the basket until it stops.
2. Carefully lift both sides upwards until the mechanism is engaged and the basket is stable.

To lower the basket to the original position proceed as follows:

Use of detergent

i Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. Please observe the manufacturer's dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging.
Using no more than the correct amount of detergent contributes to reducing pollution.

Fill with detergent

1. Open the lid.

1. Fill the detergent dispenser (1) with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels:

20 = approximately 20g of detergent
30 = approximately 30g of detergent.

1. Pull out the basket until it stops.
2. Carefully lift both sides upwards and then allow the mechanism to drop back down slowly, keeping hold of it.

i Never lift or lower the basket on one side only

When the basket is in the higher position you will not be able to use the cup racks.

After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard.

1. All programmes with prewash need an additional detergent dose (5/10 g) that must be placed in the prewash detergent chamber (2).

This detergent will be used during the prewash phase.

When using detergent tablets; place the tablet in compartment (1)

1. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.

Detergent tablets from different manufacturers dissolve at different rates. For this reason, some detergent tablets do not attain their full cleaning power during short washing programmes. Therefore, please use long washing programmes when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.

Use of combi detergent tablets

These products are detergents with a combined cleaning, rinsing and salt functions. They can also contain other different agents

Care and cleaning

Cleaning the filters

The filters must be checked and cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the washing result.

Warning! Before cleaning the filters ensure that the machine is switched off.

1. Open the door, remove the lower basket.
2. The dishwasher filter system comprises a coarse filter (A), a microfilter (B) and a flat filter. Unlock the filter system using the handle on the microfilter.

Turn the handle about 1/4 a turn anticlockwise and remove the filter system

1. Take hold of the coarse filter (A) by the handle with the hole and remove from the microfilter (B).
2. Clean all filters thoroughly under running water.
3. Remove the flat filter from the base of the washing compartment and clean both faces thoroughly.
4. Put the flat filter back in the base of the washing compartment and ensure that it fits perfectly under the two guides (C).

1. Place the coarse filter (A) in the microfilter (B) and press together.
2. Put the filter combination in place and lock by turning the handle clockwise to the stop. During this process ensure that the flat filter does not protrude above the base of the washing compartment.

NEVER use the dishwasher without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results and will result in damage to the appliance.
NEVER try to remove the spray arms.

If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the spray arms, remove the debris with a cocktail stick.

External 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...).

Internal cleaning

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

We recommend every 3 months you run the wash programme for heavy soiled dishes using detergent but without dishes.

Installation

Warning! Any electrical and/or plumbing work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician and/or plumber or competent person.

Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.

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

This dishwasher is designed to be fitted under a kitchen counter or work surface.

Attention! Carefully follow the instructions on the enclosed template for building in the dishwasher and fitting the furniture panel.

No further openings for the venting of the dishwasher are required, but only to let the water fill and drain hose and power supply cable pass through.

The dishwasher incorporates adjustable feet to allow the adjustment of the height.

During all operations that involve accessibility to internal components the dishwasher has to be unplugged.

When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet hose, the drain hose and the supply cable are not kinked or squashed.

Fixing to the adjacent units

The dishwasher must be secured against tilting.

Therefore make sure that the counter it is fixed under, is suitably secured to a fixed structure (adjacent kitchen units cabinets, wall).

Water connection

Water inlet connection

This appliance can be connected to either a hot (max. 60^ ) or cold water supply.

With a hot water supply you can have a significant reduction of energy consumption.

This however, depends on how the hot water is produced. (We suggest alternative sources of energy that are more environmentally friendly as e.g. solar or photovoltaic panels and aeolian).

For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the appliance water inlet hose is designed to screw onto a 3 / 4'' thread spout or to a purpose made quick-coupling tap such as the Press-block.

The water pressure must be within the limits given in the 'Technical data'. Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average mains pressure in your area.

The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled when it is being connected.

The appliance features inlet and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation by means of the

locknut. The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks.

i Attention! NOT all dishwasher models of have inlet and drain hoses provided with a locknut. In this case, this facility is not available.

If the appliance 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.

DO NOT use connection hoses which have previously been used on an old appliance.

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 either side of the cabinet.

If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.

This appliance has been fitted with safety features which will prevent the water used in the appliance from returning back into the drinking water system. This appliance complies with the applicable plumbing regulations.

Water inlet hose with safety valve

After connecting the double-walled water inlet hose, the safety valve is next to the tap. Therefore the water inlet hose is only under pressure while the water is running. If the water inlet hose starts to leak during this operation, the safety valve cuts off the running water.

Please take care when installing the water inlet hose:

• The electrical cable for the safety valve is in the double-walled water inlet hose. Do not immerse the water inlet hose or the safety valve in water.

• If water inlet hose or the safety valve is damaged, remove the mains plug immediately.

• A water inlet hose with safety valve must only be replaced by the Service Force Centre.

Warning! Dangerous voltage

Water drain connection

The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following ways:

1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to the underside of the work surface. This will prevent waste water from the sink running into the machine.
2. To a stand pipe provided with venthole, minimum internal diameter 4 cm.

The waste connection must be at a maximum height of 60~cm from the bottom of the dishwasher.

The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the dishwasher

Ensure the drain hose is not bent or squashed as this could prevent or slow down the discharge of water.

The sink plug must not be in place when the machine is draining as this could cause the water to syphon back into the machine.

Electrical connection

Warning! Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed.

Prior to using the appliance for the first time, ensure that the rated voltage and type of supply on the rating plate match that of the supply where the appliance is to be installed. The fuse rating is also to be found on the rating plate.

The total length of the drain hose, including any extension you might add, must be no longer than 4 metres. The internal diameter of the extension hose must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.

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

When connecting the drain hose to an under sink trap spigot, the entire plastic membrane (A) must be removed. Failure to remove all the membrane will result in food particles building up over time eventually blocking the dishwasher drain hose spigot

Our appliances are supplied with a security device to protect against the return of dirty water back into the machine. If the spigot of your sink has a "no return valve" incorporated this can prevent the correct draining of your dishwasher. We therefore advise you to remove it.
To avoid water leakage after installation make sure that the water couplings are tight.

Always plug the mains plug into a correctly installed shockproof socket.

Multi-way plugs, connectors and extension cables must not be used.

This could constitute a fire hazard through overheating.

If necessary, have the domestic wiring system socket replaced. In case that the electrical cable has to be

replaced, contact your local Service Force centre.

The plug must be accessible after the appliance has been installed. Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable. Always pull the plug.

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