HOW TO USE AND OPERATE

1. Loading your Dishwasher
   For better washing performance, always load the dishwasher according to the instructions.
   Before loading items into the dishwasher clean off large particles of food, in particular insoluble items such as bones, pips, etc.
   When loading the dishwasher, please act accordingly:
   ■ Position crockery such that water will contact all surfaces.
   ■ Deep based items should be placed at an angle to help water run off and dry properly.
   ■ Items with burnt on food should be soaked prior to loading in the dishwasher.

2. Loading the Lower Rack
   The lower basket is best loaded with dinner plates, soup bowls, dishes, pots, pans, lids and even the grill tray.
   Plates should be positioned upright and facing the centre of the rack and pots, pans and large dishes must be turned upside down.Take care not to obstruct the rotation of the spray arms and ensure that large items do not prevent the detergent dispenser lid from opening.

3. Using the Cutlery Basket
   Cutlery should be mixed within each section of the cutlery basket to prevent nesting of similar items. Place the cutlery in the cover with the handles down. The cover can be hinged and clipped away from the basket if you choose not to use them. Place knives in the separate rack for located in the top of the dishwasher.
   Take care when loading and unloading sharp items. WARNING
   Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the basket with their points down or placed in a horizontal position.

4. Loading the Upper Rack
   It is best to load this with more delicate items such as, small plates, long cutlery, cups, glasses and dishwasher safe plastic items. Plates should be positioned upwards with the plate bottom facing the front of the rack.
   Cups, glasses and bowls must be positioned upside down.
   Extra cups or cooking utensils can be laid on the fold down cup racks, which also provides support for long stem glasses. Take care not to obstruct the rotation of the spray arm under the upper rack. Non Dishwasher Safe Items
   The combination of high water temperatures and dishwasher detergent may damage particular items, therefore we do not recommend using the dishwasher to wash the following:
   ■ Copper or anodized aluminum
   ■ Hand painted silver or gold leaf crockery
   ■ Wood or bone handled utensils
   ■ Iron or non rust proof utensils
   ■ Plastic items that which are not dishwasher safe.

5. Adjusting the Upper Rack
   (Not on all models)
   Your upper rack can be raised or lowered to cater for different sized crockery. Before adjusting, ensure that the rack is empty. You can change the position of the upper rack by lifting the rack upward, into the upper position, or by pulling on the two levers on either side of the rack to move it down to its lower position. We recommend that where possible the upper rack remains level. And when you pull the rack upward, hold the middle location of the upper rack ( marked position)
   After adjusting the rack levels, check that the spray arm is free to rotate. WARNING
   Before adjusting, ensure the rack is empty of all crockery. Otherwise crockery may be damaged or you may be injured.

6. Adding Detergent Dispenser
   • Detergent must be put into the detergent chamber before starting every program except the Pre-Wash.
   • Please follow the manufacturer’s instructions within the manual, when determining the correct amount of detergent to use.
   • If your dishes are moderately dirty, you may use slightly less detergent than recommended.
   • Chambers hold 15g and 25g.
   • The amount of detergent required depends on the program. Please refer to the guide table.

• After the detergent is supplied, the chamber lid should be closed.
• The detergent is dispensed automatically during the operation.
• The chamber lid remains open after operation.
Detergent Information
Use only the detergent intended for household dishwashers. (Ordinary handwashing detergent should not be used, because the foam can interfere with proper operation.) WARNING
The detergent used is a special Dishwasher detergent and like all household chemicals it should be treated as harmful and kept out of reach of children. After completion of the wash program, the detergent compartment should be checked and any remaining detergent removed.
WARNING
#Attention : Using combined detergent products(ex.3 in 1)
Some products integrated rinse aid work best specific programs only.
Yow will obtain optimum rinsing and drying results by using conventional and separate salt and rinse aid.
Products that replace regeneration salt can only be used within a specific water hardness range.
Please contact the detergent manufacturer if the drying performance is very poor or you find the white film, when you use the combined detergent products.
We do not warrant the complaints that are directly related to the use of these products.

7. Adding Rinse Aid Dispenser
   ■ For filling
   To fill the Rinse Aid chamber, rotate the round cap counter clockwise and remove. Fill the container to the maximum level with a good quality Rinse Aid, then replace and lock the cap.
   The Rinse Aid is automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.
   The dosage is factory set to suit most installations. If, after washing, you notice cloudy spots, streaks or water marks on your glassware, it may be necessary to increase the setting. To do this, remove the cap and rotate the indicator arrow to a higher setting then replace the cap . If the glasses are smeared or foam is present on the bottom of the glass or the bottom of the machine, select a lower setting.
   ■ For refilling
   Depending on the dosage setting and the number of washes, the chamber may need to be topped up, approximately once a month. The rinse aid level can be checked by two methods.
   • By the indicator window on the dispenser when the dishwasher door is fully open.
   ● Black indicates sufficient Rinse Aid
   O Clear indicates Rinse Aid required
   • By the light on the control panel, being lit, when the dishwasher is working on. Rinse Aid Information
   Rinse Aid is necessary to remove spots and streaks from dishes as well as improved drying. Using the correct amount will improve wash performance. However, using too much can produce excess foam leading to possible water leaks.

8. Salt Filling
   This model has a water softener to soften hard water.
   Please read these notes carefully for correct operation.
   In order to provide satisfactory rinsing results, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e.,containing little or no lime, otherwise water stains will be left behind on the dishes and interior containers.
   If the tap water exceeds a certain level of hardness, it must be softened, i.e.,decalcified.
   This is achieved by adding a special salt to the water softener inside the dishwasher.
   The required amount of salt is set up according to how hard your tap water is.
   ■ Filling with Salt for the first time
   • Check the water hardness of your area. (Your water supplier will be able to tell you this.)
   • Set the water hardness according to the setting method of the water softener.
   • Remove lower rack and unscrew the cap of salt container.
   • Before using your dishwasher for the first time, fill with salt, the container has a capacity of 1.9kg.
   Use a funnel for ease and clean filling, ensuring that coarse salt or regenerating salt intended for dishwashers is used.
   • After filling, wipe off any spilled salt to seal the cap properly.
   • Screw the cap tightly to prevent any suds from penetrating into the container.■ Setting up the water softening system
   Adjust the water softener to the setting to the corresponding hardness of the water in your area. The water softener has 8 adjustment levels.
   The dishwasher is programmed at the factory for a water hardness level of “ ”.
   This can be checked and altered by using the buttons on the control panel.
   1. First, ensure the dishwasher is switched off.
   2. Press Delay Start and Power button simultaneously and keep them pressed.
   A “ ” and 1 figure will appear in the time display.
   3. To change the setting:
   Simply press the Quick button and the figure will change one by one.
   The display will change between “ ” and “ ”.
   4. Once the hardness setting is correctly adjusted, press the Pre-wash button.
   The hardness setting is then saved.
   ■ For refilling
   When the salt container is empty, the salt refill lamp will automatically turn on during operation. The salt should be refilled after the cycle has finished. We recommended the salt refill should always be carried out, as mentioned previous page, piior to starting the next operation. This will immediately thin and drain away any excess salt solution. Note
   • After filling with salt, it may take a little while before the indicating lamp goes out.
   • When the control is set to “ ”, it is not necessary to fill up with salt as none will be consumed while the dishwasher is operating.
   If the control is set between “ ” and “ ”, then salt must be added to the dispenser.
   WARNING
   Do not pour detergent into the salt container. This will destroy the water softener.

9. Fold down dividers.
   (Not on all models)
   ■ Fold-down dividers at the lower rack can be lowered to improve stacking of pots and pans.

10. Drying
    ■ To assist drying, we recommended that the door be fully opened after the cycle.
