Using your dishwasher Before first use o Install the appliance as per the installation instructions contained within this booklet. o Fill the water softener with 1 litre of tap water and then fill with specialist dishwasher salt. After this you should set the water softener level.
o It is perfectly normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container, whilst you are filling it with salt. This does not mean that the container is filled with the correct amount of salt. o Refit and fully tighten the salt container cap.
o IMPORTANT: If you are using 3 in 1 dishwasher tablets and live in a medium or hard water area, then you should still fill the water softener with salt. The water softener arrow should be turned to the minus setting. Filling with rinse aid The rinse aid is released during the final rinse and it helps to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes.
Setting the rinse aid level The amount of rinse aid that the dishwasher requires also depends on the hardness of your water. You should experiment with the rinse aid setting, until you find a level that gives the best results. o On the first wash cycle, we would recommend that the rinse aid level is set to number 2.
o At the beginning of a wash cycle the clip will open and the tablet/powder/liquid will enter the dishwasher. Loading the upper basket The upper basket is most suited to washing delicate and light dishware, such as glasses, coffee & tea cups, saucers, plates, bowls and shallow pans (that are not heavily soiled).
Position 2 (lower position) o For accommodating additional tumblers, cups and mugs. You can also place small, espresso sized cups on top of the side racks. Care should be taken to make sure that there is enough clearance between the top of the cups placed on top of the side racks and the underneath of the dishwasher interior.
o Deep saucepans should be slanted, to allow water to run off. o The bottom rack has prongs at the rear of the basket that can be folded downwards, to allow for easier loading of larger saucepans and serving bowls. The cutlery basket Cutlery should be placed inside of the cutlery basket.
Loading dishes and cutlery Household cloths, sponges or any other object that may absorb water SHOULD NOT be washed in a dishwasher. o Remove leftovers and soften the remnants of burnt food in pans, prior to loading dishes in the appliance. o Once the dishwasher has been loaded, check that the spray arms can move freely.

Program table * Normal is the testing program for EN 50242. Setting a wash program Make sure that the before first use section has been followed. o Check whether the appliance needs rinse aid or salt adding to it. o Pull out the top and bottom baskets, then load them in accordance with the loading instructions.
o IMPORTANT: Wait for 5 seconds before pressing the program selection button, otherwise the appliance may not function correctly. o Press the program selection button to choose an appropriate wash program for the load that you are washing. The program that you have selected will light up in the LED display.
At the end of a wash program o The time display will flash for 8 seconds and a buzzer will sound. o If you have used the delay start mode, the time display will flash for 8 seconds but the buzzer will not sound. o Open the door of the appliance.
If your wash results are poor, then we would recommend that you use a dishwasher detergent that doesn’t have rinse aid and salt included in the tablet. The water softener should then be adjusted to an appropriate level for the hardness of the water in your area.
Setting a half load The half load option means that the lower spray arm does not run. IMPORTANT: You should only load items in the upper basket when using the half load option. o Check whether the appliance needs rinse aid or salt adding to it. o Pull out the top basket, and then load it in accordance with the loading instructions.
Cleaning and maintenance IMPORTANT: The appliance should be disconnected from your mains supply before commencing any cleaning process. The filter system Your appliance is fitted with three levels of filtering; these are located in the base of the dishwasher for ease of access. Main filter Coarse filter Fine filter...
Cleaning the filters For best performance and results, the entire filter assembly should be thoroughly cleaned regularly (ideally after each wash cycle). 1. Turn the coarse filter anti-clockwise and then lift it upwards. Rinse out this section under a tap to remove any food debris that remains in it.
Cleaning the spray arms The spray arms should be cleaned regularly, to prevent hard water deposits from clogging the spray arm jets and bearings. o To remove the spray arm, unscrew the nut and take out the washer that sits on top of the spray arm. o Gently pull upwards to remove the spray arm.
Check that the outlet hose is not kinked or crushed. Make sure that the drain hose has not extended beyond its original length. o Longer heating time- not reaching the required temperature. Malfunction of the temperature sensor or heating element. Call Baumatic Service Department.
