If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a  
drain.  
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 vent-hole, minimum internal  
W ater supply connections  
We recommend that this dishwasher is connected to your cold  
diameter 4 cm.  
The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm  
(minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the  
dishwasher.  
water supply.  
For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the  
machines supply hose is designed to screw onto either a 3/4"  
inch gas thread spout or to a purpose made quick-coupling tap  
such as the Press-block.  
The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the  
dishwasher  
Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed as this could prevent or  
slow down the discharge of water.  
The water pressure must be within the limits given in the  
"Technical specifications".Your local Water Authority will advise  
you on the average mains pressure in your area.  
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.  
The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled  
when it is being connected up.  
If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer than 2  
metres and its internal diameter must be no smaller than the  
diameter of the hose provided.  
The dishwasher features fill 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 m ust be correctly fitted to  
avoid water leaks. (Im portant! NOT all models of  
dishwashers have fill and drain hoses provided with locknut.  
In this case, this kind of facility is not possible).  
If the machine 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 for an old appliance.  
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.  
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.  
Im portant!  
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.

Fitting under a counter  
(kitchen worktop or sink)  
By removing the machines worktop, you can install it under a  
close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, providing the  
dimensions of the recess correspond to those shown in the  
picture.  
Proceed as follows:  
Remove the machines worktop by unscrewing the two rear  
retaining screws, pull the worktop from the back of the machine  
and slide out the front slots, lifting the worktop.  
Insert the machine after adjusting height and levelling with the  
adjustable feet.When inserting the machine, ensure that the  
water inlet and drain hoses are not kinked or squashed.  
During all operations that involve accessibility to internal  
components the dishwasher has to be unplugged.  
Be sure that once the appliance has been installed, it is easily  
accessible for the service engineer in the event that a repair is  
required.  
If the dishwasher is later used as a free-standing appliance, the  
original worktop must be re-mounted.  
The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable.  
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.

W hen the Dishwasher is first installed  
Before using your dishwasher for the first time:  
1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with  
the installation instructions  
2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance  
3. Set the water softener  
4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with

"Different kinds of detergents".  
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, Clarke degrees,  
French degrees (°TH) 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 both ways: manually, using the  
water hardness dial and electronically, using the function buttons  
on the control panel.

The maximum level for  
filling is indicated by  
"max".  
Top up the rinse aid when the indicator light on the  
control panel illum inates.  
Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.  
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an  
absorbent cloth to avoid excess foam ing during  
the next wash.  
O nly use branded rinse aid for dishwashers, available also  
from your local John Lewis store.  
Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other  
substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid  
detergent).This would dam age the appliance.

- Cutlery with wooden, bone, china or mother-of-pearl handles  
- Plastic items that are not heat resistant  
- Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically  
marked as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.  
- Older cutlery with glued parts that is not temperature  
resistant  
- 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.  
- Bonded cutlery items or dishes  
- Pewter or copper items  
- Lead crystal glass

Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.  
The cutlery basket  
W arning!  
The lower basket  
Long bladed knives stored in an upright  
position are a potential hazard.  
Long and/or sharp item s of cutlery such  
as carving knives m ust be positioned  
horizontally in the upper basket.  
Take care when loading or unloading  
sharp item s such as knives.  
The lower basket is  
designed to take saucepans,  
lids, plates, salad bowls,  
cutlery etc.  
Serving dishes and large lids  
should be arranged around  
the edge of the basket,  
ensuring that the spray arms  
can turn freely.  
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 you to use the  
cutlery grid provided (if the  
size and dimensions of the  
cutlery allow it).  
The rows of prongs on the  
lower basket can be easily  
lowered to allow you to  
load pots, pans and bowls.  
16  
 
The upper basket  
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.  
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  
Maxim um height of the dishes in  
underneath the cup racks so  
that water can reach all  
surfaces.  
For taller items, the cup  
racks can be folded

To m ove to the higher position proceed as  
follows:  
Light items (plastic bowls  
etc.) must be loaded in the  
upper basket and arranged  
so they do not move.  
1. Pull out the basket until it stops.  
2. Carefully lift both sides upwards until the mechanism is  
engaged and the basket is stable.  
W arning!  
Never lift or lower the  
basket on one side only  
For glasses with long stems  
(according to the size and  
dimensions), set the glass  
holder to the left-hand or  
right-hand position.  
In case you need to load  
dishes in the upper basket,  
the glass holder must be in  
the right-hand position.  
When the basket is in  
the higher position you  
will not be able to use  
the cup rack(s).  
To lower the basket to the original position  
proceed as follows:  
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.  
After loading your m achine always close the door,  
as an open door can be a hazard.  
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray  
arm s can rotate freely.

Use of detergent  
O nly use detergents specifically designed for use  
in dishwashers.  
Please observe the m anufacturers dosing and  
storage recom m endations as stated on the  
detergent packaging.  
Using no m ore than the correct am ount of  
detergent contributes to reducing pollution.  
Fill with detergent  
1. If the lid is closed: press release button (1).The lid springs  
open.  
2. Fill the detergent dispenser (2) 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 (3).This detergent will take  
effect during the prewash phase.  
4. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.

Different kinds of detergent  
Concentrated detergent  
Modern detergents for dishwashers are almost exclusively low-  
alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes in tablet  
form.  
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.  
Using 50°C washing programmes in conjunction with these  
concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your  
dishes, as these washing programmes are specially matched to the  
dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes in concentrated  
detergents. It is for this reason that using 50°C washing  
programmes in conjunction with concentrated detergents can  
achieve the same cleaning results that can otherwise only be  
achieved using 65°C washing programmes.  
Use of com bi tablet detergents  
These products are detergents with a combined cleaning, rinsing  
and salt function.  
1. Check whether these detergents are suitable for your water  
hardness. Follow the manufacturers instructions.  
2. Set the "Multi tab" function.  
3. Before the start of the washing programme put the tablet  
detergent in the detergent dispenser.  
NOTE: If the drying results are not satisfactory we  
recommend that you:  
1. Fill up the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid.  
2. Activate the rinse aid dispenser and set the rinse aid  
dosage to position 2.  
If you decide to turn back to the use of the  
standard detergent system we advise that you:  
G Deactivate the "Multi tab" function.  
G Fill up the dispensers for salt and rinse aid again.  
G Adjust the water hardness setting to the highest setting  
perform up to 3 normal washing programmes without  
loading any dishes.  
G Adjust the water hardness setting according to the  
hardness of the water in your area.  
G Adjust the rinse aid dosage.  
NOTE:When using 4 in 1 or 5 in 1 detergents that  
integrate also anti-glass corrosion agent into "3 in 1" formula,  
please follow the same indication as given for "3 in 1" detergents.

This programme does not require  
the use of detergent.  
(1) "Auto" washing program m e  
(2) Testing programme for EN 50242 (see "Hints for Test  
Centres").This programme, developed for the use of  
detergents with enzymes, allows you to achieve, with reduced  
consumption of energy the same cleaning results that would  
otherwise be obtained only with the 65°C programmes and  
conventional detergents.To compensate the lower  
temperature, the duration of washing and drying have been  
extended.  
During the "Auto" washing programme the amount of soil on  
the dishes is determined by how cloudy the water is.  
If the appliance is partially loaded and the dishes lightly soiled,  
the "prewash", "main wash", and "rinse" phases of the  
programme are shorter and the water consumption level is  
lower.  
If the appliance is fully loaded and the dishes heavily soiled,  
the "prewash", "main wash", and "rinse" phases of the  
programme are longer and the water consumption level is  
higher.  
(3) The consumption values are intended as a guide and depends  
on the pressure and the temperature of the water and also  
by the variations of the power supply.  
During the "Auto" programme the temperature of the main  
wash water is also automatically adjusted between 50°C  
and 65°C depending on the amount of soil on the dishes.  
The programme duration is visible in the display when the  
setting of the programme occurs.

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.  
W hen the washing program m e has  
finished, it is recom m ended that the  
dishwasher is unplugged and the water  
tap turned off.

Maintenance and Cleaning  
You must disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply,  
before you can carry out any cleaning and maintenance work.  
7. Put the flat filter (C) back in the base of the washing  
compartment.  
8. Place the coarse filter (A) in the microfilter (B) and press  
External cleaning  
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.  
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....).  
Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid  
dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.  
W arning!  
Under no circum stances m ay the dishwasher be  
used without filters. Incorrect repositioning and  
fitting of the filters will produce poor washing  
results.  
We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash programme  
without dishes using detergent.  
Cleaning the filters  
The filters must be checked and cleaned from time to time. Dirty  
filters will degrade the washing result.  
NEVER try to rem ove  
the upper spray arm .  
If residues of soil have  
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket.  
clogged the holes in the  
upper spray arm, remove  
them with a cocktail stick.
