Drain hose connection.WARNING: Connect yourdishwasher drain hose to pipeswhich connect to the foul drainsystem and not to surface waterdrains.IMPORTANT: For the correctoperation of your dishwasher, it isessential to comply with the followinginformation:-

Standpipe:Ensure that the hose is not pushedtoo far down the standpipe.If the end of your drain hose is fittedwith ‘retaining flaps’, ensure they areinserted fully into the standpipe. Thiswill prevent the pipe from jumpingout during installation and use.

DO NOT position the standpipe nearan electrical outlet.ENSURE that the drain hose is notkinked and it is routed as shown inthe diagram.

The standpipe should have a boreof at least 38mm (11/2”). It shouldbe installed as shown, have a trapfitted and must discharge into thesame drain system as yourhousehold sink.It MUST NOT be connected to asurface water drain.

Anti-flooding protectionYour dishwasher has a specialsystem which stops the watersupply in the event of leaks insidethe appliance.It is equipped with a water inlet thathas a clear outer hose and an innerhigh pressure hose which turnsbright red if it breaks.Leaks are prevented as the clearouter hose now contains the water.It is vital that you check it on aregular basis, if you see it has turnedbright red, you know you need toreplace it as soon as possible.Call for an authorised technicalengineer to come and replace it.

Sink Waste System:For under sink drainage:Before connecting the drain hose,remove any internal restrictions -This will prevent a build up of debriswhich could cause a blockage.Remove any restrictions from thewaste spigot and ensure that thesealing bung is removed. The hoseshould be routed, such that it israised to a minimum height of800mm (31/2”).

NOTE: Ensure the sink outletpipe has a minimum diamtere of32mm.

1. Untie the end of the GREYdrainage hose from the rear ofthe appliance.2. Reposition the ‘Hooked EndSupport’ as required along theGREY drainage hose.3. If fitting an under sink wastedisposal unit, cut out themembrane, bung or blankingplug.4.

Before Using your Dishwasher

Water hardness varies accordingto where you live. If the water inyour home is hard, without watersoftening, incrustations wouldform on your dishes. Yourdishwasher is fitted with a watersoftener which uses special salt toget rid of limescale in the water.

Adjusting the water softener.Your dishwasher can adjust its saltconsumption according to the hard-ness of the water in your home.This way, you can optimise andcustomise your dishwasher's saltconsumption.To adjust salt consumption, do asfollows:1. Unscrew the salt container cap2. There is an arrow on the neck

of the container (see figure): ifnecessary, turn the arrow anti-clockwise from the "-" settingto the "+" setting.

Select the arrow positiondepending on the waterhardness, referring to the table.

To prevent rust from forming,load the salt just beforebeginning a wash cycle.

Loading your DishwasherFirst of all.Before placing dishes in the baskets,remove all course food remains. Thisavoids blocking the filter, whichwould reduce the efficiency of thewash.If saucepans and frying pans arevery dirty, allow them to soak beforebeing washed.To make it easier to load your dishes,pull the baskets out.

What goes into the lowerbasket?We recommend you place the mostdifficult dishes to wash into the lowerbasket: saucepans, lids, soupdishes and plates (a load exampleis shown in the photo).• Serving dishes and large lids:

place them on the sides of thebasket.

• Saucepans, salad bowls: mustalways be placed upside down

• Very deep dishes: place themobliquely, thus allowing water torun down them and cleaningthem better

• Glasses and cups: positionthem as shown in load examplephoto.

The cutlery basket is equipped withtwo removable grids. Cutlery andsharp utensils should always beinserted in random order with theblades pointing downwards (takecare with knife blades. Position themso that they don’t touch.

What goes into the upperbasket?Place delicate and lightweight dishesin the upper basket: glasses, teacups and coffee cups, saucers andplates - shallow salad bowls, slightlydirty frying pans and shallow pans.Position lightweight dishes in suchas way as to avoid their being movedby the spray of water.The dishwasher can also beequipped with one or two tip upcompartments onto which you canplace mugs and cups, as well aslong sharp knives and servingcutlery.

After loading the dishes, rememberto check that the spray arms canturn freely without hitting against anydishes.

How to adjust the upperbasket.The upper basket can be set in highor low position to enable you toorganise your dishes effortlessly.Open the rail stop flaps and pull therack out completely. Now place it inthe high or low position, then slide isalong the guide rails until the frontwheels also go in.Now close the rail stop flaps.Follow the sequence 1,2,3,4illustrated (below).

Load examplesupper basketlower basket

What can I Wash Items not suitable for the dishwasher:

• Cutlery and tableware made from wood or part wood - They may become faded and unsightly in appearance.• Avoid washing horn handled and bronze cutlery in the machine.• Delicate/decorative glassware and vases, special antique or irreplaceable china - the decorative patterns

printed on these items will not be dishwasher proof.• Plastic objects that are not resistant to hot water.• Copper and Pewter utensils. Aluminium and Sliver objects.• Some types of glass can become opaque in appearance after they have been washed too many times in a

dishwasher.• Highly absorbent materials such as sponges and towels should never be placed in a dishwasher.• If in any doubt, check with the manufacturer on items suitability for dishwasher’s.

WARNING: Dishes or cutlery soiled with tobacco ash, wax, lubricating grease or paint should not be putin the dishwasher.

Our recommendation: In future, only purchase table or kitchenware that has been confirmed - dishwasher proof.

the plug from the socket.• turn off the water supply.• disconnect drain and water inlet

hose.• pull out the dishwasher, carefully,

withdrawing hoses at the sametime.


D ISHWASHER

Caution- Do not forget that repairs should be carried out by a qualified specialist. Improper repairs can lead to considerable equipmentdamage, as well as danger to the user.- The dishwasher must first be disconnected from the electricity supply before any repairs or other work can be carried out.Switch off at the mains socket and water supply and remove the plug.

If the dishwasher won'tstart, check...

Is the dishwasher plugged in at theelectricity socket and switched on?Is there a power failure, check otherappliances.Check the fuse.Is the water supply tap turned on?Is the water inlet hose connectedproperly?Is the pressure of the water supplysufficient?Is the inlet hose kinked?Is the filter on the water supply hoseblocked?Is the dishwasher door not closedproperly?

If water remains inside thedishwasher, check...

the drain hose is not kinked.the drain syphon is not obstructed.the dishwasher filters are not clogged.

the correct amount of detergent hasbeen added.there is regenerating salt in the saltcontainer.the dishes have been loaded correctly.the selected programme is suitablefor the type of dishes and the degreeof soiling.all filters are clean and positionedcorrectly.the spray arm nozzles are notobstructed.there is nothing obstructing therotation of the spray arms.

Detergent compartment lidcan not be closed, check...

has the compartment been overfilled?is the mechanism clogged withremnants of detergent?

If the dishes fail to dry orremain dirty, check...

there is rinse aid inside the rinse aidcontainer.the rinse aid dispenser setting iscorrect.the detergent being used is of goodquality and has not lost itseffectiveness (for example, throughincorrect storage, with the box leftopen).

If the dishes show signs ofstreaking, staining etc.check...

the rinse aid dispenser setting is notset too high.

If there are visible tracesof rust inside the tank,check...

the cap off the salt container issecurely closed and that the watersoftner setting is correct.the correct amount of detergent isbeing used. Certain detergents canbe more corrosive than others.the tank is made of steel and thereforeany rust marks are due to externalelements (fragments of rust from thetank pipes, pots, cutlery etc.) Specialproducts are commercially availableto remove such marks.
