Use of detergent 
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.
2. Fill the detergent dispenser (1)
with detergent. The marking
indicates the dosing levels:20 = approximately 20 g of
detergent
30 = approximately 30 g of
detergent
3. 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 take effect
during the prewash phase.
When using detergent tablets;
place the tablet in compartment (1)
4. Close the lid and press until it
locks in place.

Detergent tablets
Detergent tablets from different
manufactures 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.

Unloading the dishwasher
Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks.
The dishes should therefore be
allowed to cool down before
removing from the appliance.
Empty the lower basket first and
then the upper one; this will avoid
water dripping from the upper
basket onto the dishes in the lower
one.
Water may appear on the sides
and the door of the dishwasher as
the stainless steel will eventually
become cooler than the dishes.
When the washing programme has
finished, it is recommended that
the dishwasher is unplugged and
the water tap turned off.

Washing programmes information
(1) During the Auto washing programme
the amount of soil on the dishes is
determined by how cloudy the water
is.
The programme duration, water and
energy consumption levels can vary;
this depends upon if the appliance is
fully or partially loaded and if the
dishes are lightly or heavily soiled.
The temperature of the water is
automatically adjusted between 50°C
and 65°C.
(2) Ideal for washing a partially loaded
dishwasher. This is the perfect daily
programme, made to meet the needs
of a family of 4 personswho only wish
to load breakfast and dinner crockery
and cutlery.
(3) Test programme for test institutes.

Cleaning the filters
The filters must be checked and
cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters
will degrade the washing result.
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.
3. Turn the handle about 
1/4a turn
anticlockwise and remove the filter
system.
Care and cleaning
4. Take hold of the coarse filter (A)
by the handle with the hole and
remove from the microfilter (B).
5. Clean all filters thoroughly under
running water.
6. Remove the flat filter from the
base of the washing compartment
and clean both faces thoroughly.
7. Put the flat filter back in the base
of the washing compartment and
ensure that it fits perfectly.
8. Place the coarse filter (A) in the
microfilter (B) and press together.
9. 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.

Frost precautions 
Avoid placing the machine in a
location where the temperature is
below 0°C. If this is unavoidable,
empty the machine, close the
appliance door, disconnect the water
inlet pipe and empty it. 
Moving the machine 
If you have to move the machine
(moving house etc....): 
1. Unplug it.
2. Turn the water tap off.
3. Remove the water inlet and
discharge hoses.
4. Pull the machine out together with
the hoses. 
Avoid over tilting the machine during
transportation. 
NEVER try to remove the spray
arms.
If residues of soil have clogged the
holes in the spray arms, remove them
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 to
run the wash programme for heavy
soiled dishes using detergent but
without dishes.
Prolonged periods of non-
operation 
If you are not using the machine for
any prolonged period of time you are
advised to: 
1. Unplug the appliance and then
turn off the water. 
2. Leave the door ajar to prevent the
formation of any unpleasant
smells. 
3. Leave the inside of the machine
clean.
