To avoid unnecessary mistakes and accidents, it is important to ensure that all people using the dishwasher are thoroughly familiar with its operation and safety features. Save these instructions and make sure they remain with the dishwasher if it is moved or sold, so that everyone using it through its life can be properly informed on appliance use and safety. Installation and servicing q q All installation and service work done on the product must be carried out by a qualified technician. Work performed by persons with inadequate knowledge may adversely affect the satisfactory functioning of the product and may cause personal injury or damage. Before any work is carried out on the dishwasher, it must be isolated from the electrical supply, by unplugging the power cord or removing the fuse. Water connection shall be made via an easily accessible stopcock. The power cord must be plugged into an earthed socket, which need to be easily accessible. Permanent installation must only be carried out by an authorized electrician. Make sure that the power cord is not nipped or otherwise damaged and that the hoses do not get crushed or kinked when moving the dishwasher in connection with installation or cleaning etc. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent. Our approved build-in kit must be used if the dishwasher is to be built into the kitchen furnishings. Servicing and possible repairs must be carried out by a service company authorized by the supplier. Use only spare parts supplied by these. Never try to repair the dishwasher yourself. Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always closed when it is not being loaded or unloaded. In this way you will avoid anybody tripping over the open door and hurting themselves, if the dishwasher is placed under the worktop. Avoid opening the door while the dishwasher is running, since hot steam may escape. If you take any dishes out of the dishwasher before the end of the dishwashing cycle, it is extremely important to rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove any remaining detergent. In the event of flooding or leakage, shut off the water supply immediately by closing the stopcock and disconnect the power supply by unplugging the power cord or removing the fuse. When removing the electrical plug, grip the plug, not the lead. There is always a certain risk of leakages in any machine connected to a water supply, no matter what water safety features it may have. Therefore it is advisable always to turn off the water supply tap when the machine is not in use. q q q q q q q q q Disposal - packaging: All materials used in packaging this appliance are environmentally-friendly.

Too much conditioner may result in streakiness, too little may cause white spots. The dispenser holds about 140 ml. This is enough for 40-70 wash cycles, depending on the dosage setting. When the rinse conditioner level is approaching the bottom of the scale it is time to refill the dispenser. Adjust the dosage setting according to the hardness if the water. Begin with the lowest dosage setting and increase as necessary by turning the arrow clockwise. 1. Swivel out the filler trough. 2. Fill up with rinse conditioner until the level reaches up to the red mark on the level indicator tube; do not overfill. 3. Wipe off any spillage carefully to prevent excessive foaming during the next wash programme. 4. Close the filler trough afterwards. Do not fill the rinse conditioner dispenser with liquid detergent. Water softener 6 This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener for hard water, therefore shall the rinse aid dispenser be set for a low dosage. The lime in hard water causes white deposits to occur on dishes and to the interior of the dishwasher. To prevent this, the water has to pass through a special container where the hardness is removed. Since the water softener uses coarse dishwasher salt, you will have to refill the salt container after a certain number of dishwashing cycles. It is important to fill the compartment with coarse dishwasher salt before using the machine for the first time, if you live in an area where the water is calciferous. The indicator light on the control panel is lit when the container requires refilling. 1. Unscrew the filler cap to the salt container anticlockwise. 2. Fill the salt container with water (only the first time). 3. Fill the container with coarse salt, using the funnel supplied. 4. Remove the funnel and wipe off any spillage around the filler opening. 5. Screw the filler cap back properly in place. The water softener is now ready for the first load of dishes. Always make sure that there is coarse grained salt in the container, which holds about 1 litre, which is enough for about 20 - 30 dishwashing cycles. Use only special salt for dishwashing machines, ordinary domestic salt can damage the water softener. Spray arm 2 It is important to keep all the holes in the spray arm clear. A clogged hole can seriously affect washing efficiency. If the spray arm needs cleaning, unscrew the nut clockwise (left-hand thread) and lift off the spray arm. Clear the holes and shake out any food remnants. Coarse filter 3 The purpose of the coarse filter is to catch large objects such as toothpicks and pieces of eggshell. Make sure that the filter is always clean. Lift it out and rinse it under running water whenever necessary. Water softener plug 7 As supplied from the factory, the water softener is set for a water hardness of up to 20°dH. If your water is harder than this, you can increase the capacity of the water softener by pulling out the ruber plug at the rear of the dishwasher on the right. Fine filter 4 It is just as important to keep this filter clean. A dirty or clogged filter will always impair washing efficiency. The fine filter can easily be lifted out for cleaning when you have removed the coarse filter. Detergent dispenser 5 Consult the instructions on the detergent packet and fill the compartment with the detergent. Remember that the instructions usually refer to full-size dishwashers, for example when using detergent tablets, it is sufficient to use just half a tablet. Only use detergents specially designed for dishwashers. - 17 - Loading How to load the dishwasher The illustration shows the machine loaded with five standard place settings. Your own dishes are not likely to be identical to this load, but if you follow the advice below we are sure you will be pleased with the results. q 1 Always place glasses, cups and bowls upside down. Incline deep dishes (soup plates etc.) so that the water can run off when drying. Make sure that the dishes do not rest against each other. This is particularly important in regard to the cutlery basket - nested spoons, etc. simply cannot be properly washed. The water must get at all the soiled surfaces. Make sure that cutlery with slender handles and other items do not protrude through the openings in the basket and prevent the spray arm from rotating. Never put silver and stainless steel objects together. When these metals come into contact with each other a chemical reaction occurs which stains the silver. China with a pattern applied on top of the glaze may not be suitable for machine washing as the colours may fade and lose their lustre. The same applies to cutlery with wooden or plastic handles. Make sure you always buy articles that are dishwasher safe. q q q q q q Not all plastic articles are machine washable. If you are in doubt as to whether your plastic-ware can be washed in the machine, we suggest you check by washing a single item or else wash them by hand. Substances such as ketchup containing strong colouring agents can cause temporary discoloration in the machine. Do not place sharp knives with their points upwards. It is much safer to lay them horizontally in the main basket. q q Aluminium becomes dull and tarnished when machine washed. The machine gets it clean, but at the expense of its appearance. When washing delicate items, select the lower wash temperature. q 2 Instruction for verification tests Test standard: EN 50242 Rated capacity: 5 place settings Loading of rack: According to figure 1 Test program: Normal 65° C Detergent (IEC type B): 15 gram in the dispenser Rinse aid (typ III): Setting medium Feed water pressure: Minimum 0,8 bar, maximum 10 bar Waste water outlet: Install according to figure 2 The salt container and rinse aid dispenser shall be filled in accordance with the instruction manual.

Using it for other purposes may damage it and invalidate the guarantee. Building-in If you want to build the dishwasher into your kitchen furniture, it is important to use our approved build-in kit. This comes with the correct instructions needed to observe all the relevant regulations. You can obtain the build-in kit from the same place where you bought the dishwasher. Protecting the dishwasher against freezing If the dishwasher is placed in an environment where the temperature sometimes falls below 0° C, there is a risk that the small amount of water which remains inside the parts of the dishwasher will freeze and damage it. 1. Turn off the water supply to the dishwasher. 2. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses. 3. Select a wash programme, start the machine and let the programme run for a short time. 4. Make sure that there is coarse-grained salt in the salt container for the water softener. The appliance is only to be used and stored indoors at normal room temperature. The manufacture is not responsible for any frost damage. - 22 - Installation Positioning In its standard version the machine is intended for installation on a kitchen sink or worktop. To function properly the machine must be fully level. Its height can be adjusted with the adjustable feet (8 mm each). Water supply The temperature of the water supply should not exceed 65°C and the pressure should be between 50-1000 kPa (0.5-10 bar). It is important to have a tap or stopcock, positioned close to the machine and with easy access. Special mixer taps with dishwasher connections are available, as well as adaptors for older mixer taps. Connect the inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4" pipe thread. If necessary, use the restrictor (1/2") supplied. The inlet hose must not be joined onto any form of extension hose. If it is too short, the entire hose must be replaced with a longer high-pressure hose, specially designed for the purpose. The machine end of this hose can be turned in any direction. Loosen the retaining nut, turn the hose, then retighten the nut. Check that the nut and all other connections are tight before the machine is moved into position. Use only the inlet hose supplied to the dishwasher, do not reuse the old inlet hose. Discharge connection Place the discharge hose over the sink as illustrated. It must not at any point be higher up than 75 cm over the surface which the dishwasher is standing on. If it runs higher, operation of the dishwasher might be impaired. It is also important to ensure that the inside diameter of the hose is not less than 13 mm at any point. If the discharge hose is too long it can easily be cut to the right length. 1. Cut the hose to a suitable length, using a sharp knife. 2. Fit the elbow supplied onto the end of the hose. Electrical connection The dishwasher must be connected to an earthed wall socket which must be easily accessible and protected by a 10 Amp fuse. Permanent electrical installation must be carried out by an authorised electrician. Before any work is carried out on the machine it must be isolated from the electric mains supply, for example by removing the plug from the wall socket. - 23 -
