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 Installation must be carried out by persons with the necessary knowledge and experience of water and drainage connections in accordance with the instructions in these directions for use and installation. The power cord must be plugged into an earthed socket. Permanent installation must only be carried out by an authorized electrician. Water connection shall be made via an easily accessible stopcock. Before performing any checks or repairs on the machine it must be isolated from the electrical supply. To do this the power plug must be removed from the wall socket. 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. Only use detergent specifically designed for use in dishwashers. Do not place sharp knives with their points upwards. It is much safer to lay them horizontally in the basket. If you take any dishes out of the machine before the end of the dishwashing cycle, it is extremely important to rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove any remaining detergent. After using the machine, turn off its water supply and disconnect it from the power supply. When removing the electrical plug, grip the plug, not the lead. 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. q q q q q q q q q Identification of materials All materials used in packaging this appliance are environmentally-friendly. The various plastics used are identified and can be recycled: q q q PE stands for polyethylene, which is used for the bag around the appliance and the bag in which these instructions were supplied.

Using it for other purposes could lead to physical injury or damage to property and invalidate the guarantee. Avoid opening the door while the dishwasher is running, as hot steam may escape. q -3- 822 90 11-08 Description of the appliance Rinse conditioner dispenser (1) Use of a rinse conditioner will result in cleaner and faster drying of the load, since it helps water and soil to run off. 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. Swivel out the filler trough and carefully fill up with rinse conditioner until the level reaches up to the red mark on the level indicator tube. Do not overfill and carefully wipe off any spillage to prevent sudsing problems. Don't forget to close the filler trough afterwards. 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. Note! Do not fill the rinse conditioner dispenser with liquid detergent. Coarse strainer (3) The purpose of the coarse strainer is to catch large objects such as toothpicks and pieces of eggshell. Make sure that the strainer is always clean. Lift it out and rinse it under running water whenever necessary. 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 strainer. Detergent dispenser (5) Only use detergents specially designed for dishwashers. Pour the detergent into the compartment, for a normal load about 1-2 tablespoons. 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. -4- Controls and programme table All figures are nominal and vary for example due to temperature variations on the inlet water. The figures apply to washing up 5 settings. 1 3 2 1 Temperature selector 55° - Button in 65° - Button out Door lock Press the handle down and open the door. Avoid opening the door while the machine is running. If the door is opened and is put standing ajar after a completed programme, the dishes will dry faster. 2 Selector knob To start the machine: - Turn the selector knob clockwise to the programme start. The ON/OFF switch is built into the programme selector. During the water heating process, the timer is standing still. To isolate the dishwasher from the mains completely, unplug it from the wall socket. 3 Cycle sequence lamp While the programme is in progress, the operating lamp is lit and it goes out when the programme is ready. -5- Loading How to load the dishes 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 q 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 proof. q q q q q Aluminium becomes dull and tarnished when machine washed. The machine gets it clean, but at the expense of its appearance. 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. When washing delicate items, select the lower wash temperature. Substances such as ketchup containing strong colouring agents can cause temporary discolouration to the interior of the dishwasher. q q q -6- Using the appliance 1. Scrape or rinse off solid food remnants. 2. Load the dishwasher. See "LOADING". Fill up the rinse conditioner dispenser. Put the correct amount of detergent into the compartment. 3.

Check that the dishwasher is undamaged. If you discover any damage, faults or that anything is missing, you should notify the dealer immediately. Never leave packaging material in a place where children may play with it. Check that the following accessories are supplied with the dishwasher when you unpack it: - Elbow for discharge hose (1) 1 Use This dishwasher is designed solely for washing household utensils suitable for washing in a dishwasher. 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 machine against freezing If the dishwasher is placed in an environment where the temperature sometimes fall 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. To prevent this you should: - Turn off the water supply to the machine and disconnect the water intake hose from the supply pipe. - Select a wash programme, start the machine and let the programme run for a short time. The appliance is only to be used and stored indoors at normal room temperature. The manufacture is not responsible for any frost damage. - 10 - 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 80-1000 kPa (0,8 - 10 bar). It is important to have a tap or stopcock, positioned close to the dishwasher 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. 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 end of the hose, which is connected to the dishwasher can be turned in any direction. Loosen the retaining nut, turn the hose, then retighten the nut. Check that the nut is 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. - Cut the hose to a suitable length, using a sharp knife. - Fit the elbow supplied onto the end of the hose. Electrical connection The dishwasher is supplied with a lead and electrical plug for connection to a 230 V earthed wall socket, which should be easily accessible and protected by a 10 A fuse. Before any work is carried out on the dishwasher, it must be isolated from the electric mains supply, for example by removing the plug from the wall socket. Permanent electrical installation must be carried out by an authorized electrician or competent person. - 11 -
