Electrical connection For Great Britain only Important! This appliance must be earthed. Fuse replacement The mains lead of this appliance is fitted with a BS 1363A 13 A fused plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug, use an ASTA approved fuse to BS 1362 type and proceed as follows: Remove the fuse cover and fuse.
When loading items to be washed, locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the internal lid of the dishwasher and load sharp knives with the handle up to reduce the risk of cut- type injuries.
Make sure that the power supply cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subject to damage or stress. Do not install or store the dishwasher where it will be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to weather.

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Do not tamper with or modify the remote control or the dishwasher in any way, as doing so will void the certification of the device.
The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage to some items if they are washed in the dishwasher. Remember, if in any doubt about any aspect concerning items washed in the dishwasher, follow the instructions from the manufacturer of the items, or wash the item by hand.
Racking features Cutlery basket To reduce the risk of injury, we recommend loading knives and sharp utensils with handles facing up. Mix spoons, knives and forks within each section to stop cutlery nesting together and to ensure the water circulates freely. Keep stainless steel from touching silver cutlery to avoid staining.

Racking features Racking features will vary depending on model. Stemware notches These notches help support long-stemmed glassware. Glass supports These clip on the rack wires to give your tall glasses extra stability. Spacing-adjustable tines (DD24/DD60 models only) Designed to fit deep bowls (wide spacing) or small plates (narrow spacing), depending on adjustment.
Page 15
Adjustable racks You can adjust these independently of each other to any height: Fold up to unlock the rack. Adjust the height to suit by sliding up or down. Fold down to lock in position. Fold the racks away if you need the space. Knife clip This clips onto the adjustable racks and supports knives and other utensils during the wash.
Loading suggestions When loading your drawer, make sure that you place items so that water coming from the rotating spray arms below can reach all areas (wash performance will be reduced if it can’t) nothing blocks the water from getting to items on the adjustable racks glass and other fragile items are stable, so that they do not accidentally topple and break during the wash.
Water hardness varies by geographical location. How does water hardness affect dishwashing? Hard water can be detrimental to the performance of your dishwasher. Over time, glassware washed in hard water will become opaque and dishes will become spotted or covered in a white film.
>9 gpg HARDER If you have a a household water softener installed or your dishwasher has a built-in water softener, use the quantities recommended for water with a hardness under 100 ppm/6 gpg, irrespective of the water hardness in your area. See also section ‘Water softener’ .

Adding detergent Suitable detergents and where to place them Note: You may see other, equally suitable types of dishwasher detergent on the shelves of your supermarket. Read and follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations. Powdered dishwasher detergent pour into detergent dispenser...

Dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes and keep children and infirm persons away from the dishwasher when it is open. Check that the detergent dispenser is empty after completion of the wash program.
If dishes are wet or streaky after drying, increase the setting. If you live in a hard water area and you have no water softener installed in your water supply or built into your dishwasher, we recommend adjusting the rinse aid setting to 5.
For example, if your water hardness is 500ppm, then the water softener setting on your dishwasher should be 4. Refer to the ‘Preference options’ section of your ‘Quick start guide’ for instructions on adjusting the water softener setting.
Page 24
Rinse and the rinse aid setting should be at 5. If your water hardness is above 625ppm/36 gpg, the wash performance of your dishwasher will decline. You may hear some unusual noises when the water softener is in operation, this is normal.
Page 25
Important! The water softener must always be filled with granular salt made especially for dishwasher water softening systems. We do not recommend the use of cooking salt like table salt, rock salt or pellets as they may contain impurities that will impair or diminish the life of the water softener.
Holiday time If the dishwasher is not going to be used for some time, we recommend you leave it clean and empty. Leave the drawer(s) ajar to allow air to circulate. Turn off both the power and water supply to the dishwasher.
Page 27
If a dishwasher cleaner/descaler is used, you must run a wash program with detergent immediately afterward to prevent any damage to your dishwasher. The dishwasher must be used with the filter plate, drain filter and spray arm correctly in place. Cleaning the drain filter Unplug the dishwasher or turn it off at the power supply.

Refer to the ‘User maintenance instructions’ section for details on correct placement. This usually occurs on the first use or when the dishwasher has not been used for long periods of time. Pour 3 cups of water into the drawer before running a wash program.
How do I know if there is a fault? Your dishwasher will self‐diagnose and let you know by beeping continuously and showing a fault code on the wash program panel inside the drawer (all models) and in the display (Classic models only) .
Look up the fault code in the table opposite and note it down. Disconnect the dishwasher from the power supply (unplug or switch off at circuit breaker), turn off its water supply, then contact Customer Care with the fault code information.
