Before use
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 half litre of water inside the salt container and fill with salt 5. fill the rinse aid dispenser.
Setting 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 salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, for example German, French degrees. 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 dishwasher is factory set at level 2. If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted. To adjust the water softener: Level 1 - If your water is "level 1" it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt. Salt must be used from level 2 upward. Levels 3 and 5 (water softener adjustment) If your water is level 3 or 5, proceed as follows: - slide out the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt container; - turn the two-position selector anticlockwise from position - to position + with the aid of a blunt knife or a screwdriver. Levels 4 and 5 (adjustment on the machine) - If your water is level 4 or 5, open the door and drill membrane (A) on the upper left-hand corner of the machine. With a water hardness of level 5 both adjustments must be made.

Filling with salt

Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers. All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in dishwasher, specially table salt, will damage the water softener. Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes (not the Rinse and Hold programme). This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion. To fill: 1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt container. 2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container, (this is necessary only before filling with salt for the first time). 3. Then using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until the container is full. Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal. 4. Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket. 5. Screw on the cap tightly. The salt container will require topping up periodically. The salt cap has a refill indicator window in the centre. A green floater is clearly visible when there is salt inside the container, and almost disappears when the salt has finished, reminding you to add salt.

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring through rinsing, spot and streak free drying. The dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing programmes, depending upon the dosage setting.

Filling with rinse aid

1. Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise. 2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The indicator (B) will be completely dark. 3. Top up the rinse aid when the indicator (B) becomes clear. Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill. Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid department. Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.

Adjusting the dose

According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (C) (position 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage). Start from position 3. Gradually increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes.

PFR01/1GB

Use of detergent
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. To fill the dishwasher with detergent proceed as follows: 1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D). 2. Add the detergent according to the recommendations in the programme chart. As all detergents are not the same, you should also consult the instructions on the packet specially for tablets. To help correctly dose the right amount of detergent, inside the container there are two reference marks: - MIN = 15 g - MAX = 30 g 3. Always close the lid. 4. If the programme has a prewash add the required detergent over the lid of the dispenser. If using detegent in tablets proceed as follows: 1. For all programmes; add 1 tablet inside the detergent dispenser. 2. Always close the dispenser lid. 3. For all programmes with prewash; add a portion of a further tablet on the lid of the detergent dispenser. Insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor washing results, whereas an excessive amounts of detergent will not improve washing results and is also wasteful. Using no more than the correct amount also contributes to reducing pollution. Phosphate free detergents with enzymes In these low-alkaline compact powders the environment unfriendly components have been replaced by natural enzymes and other more biodegradable substances. These new compact powders are generally phosphate-free. As phosphates have water softening properties, we suggest you add salt to the salt container even if the hardness of your water is as low as 4dH (7TH). This will avoid lime deposits on crockery and the inner tub.

Using your appliance

Loading your appliance
Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing the performance. Do not load very small items which can fall through the baskets. Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.

The lower basket

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 upper spray arm can turn freely.

The cutlery basket

Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard.
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carvings knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives. Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards. 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. Silver cutlery tends to go black if mixed with steel cutlery. Place it in the cutlery basket separate from the others. Arrange the spoons, dessert spoons, knives and other small items of cutlery in the racks on one sides of the cutlery basket.

PBA09/1GB

The upper basket
The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses; Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the raised cup racks. Larger plates (dinner plates up to 24 cm in diameter) must be loaded in the front part of the upper basket. Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move. When loading the dishes, ensure that you do not cover the water inlet funnel in the middle of the upper basket. Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.

IEC 436 / DIN 44990

Adjusting the height of the upper basket
If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 31 cm in diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket. To move to the higher position proceed as follows: 1. Move the front runner stops (A) of the upper basket outward and slide the basket out. 2. Refit the basket in the higher position and replace the stops (A) in their original position. When the top basket is in the higher position it will only take plates up to 20 cm in diameter and you will not be able to use the raised cup racks. After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard.

Hints and tips

To save energy

Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal and wait until the dishwasher is full before washing. If necessary run the Rinse and Hold programme (see "Washing programmes" chart on the following pages), so that any food scraps do not become caked on the dishes while you are waiting to run the complete wash programme. Do not prewash dishes under running water. Select an "Economy" or "Quick" programme when the dishes are not very soiled, following the instructions given in the "Washing programmes" chart.
Items not suitable for dishwashers:
The following items should not be washed in the dishwasher (unless they are sold as dishwasher proof): - Cutlery with wooden or horn handles or glued parts - bronze cutlery - saucepans with wooden handles - aluminium ware - crystal ware - leaded glass - plastic items - antique or fine decorated china Certain types of decoration can discolour when washed in a dishwasher.
For best washing results:
Before loading remove all scraps of food and soak very heavily soiled pots and pans. Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside-down. Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water drains off easily. Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible. You will improve drying results by leaving the dishwasher door ajar for at least 15-30 minutes as soon as the programme finishes. Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved. 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.
Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed dishwasher proof should be washed by hand. Certain types of glass can also become opaque after being washed several times in a dishwasher. A chemical reaction can occur between silver cutlery and stainless steel cutlery. As a precaution, do not wash together. Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items. Aluminium tends to go black, copper, pewter and brass tend to stain. If in doubt check with manufacturer of the item. When buying new dishes, ensure that they are dishwasher proof.

Maintenance and cleaning

Internal cleaning

Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth. We recommend you carry out a maintenance wash every three months, by running a 65C programme without dishes using detergent.
Cleaning the central filters
(after each wash) Inspect the central filters (B) and (C) and remove any scraps of food with a brush, under running water. Filters (B) and (C) are both removed by lifting up the outer one (B) (pulling the central funnel upwards); the smaller filter (C) can be removed by pressing the two tongues (D).
Once cleaned, refit the filters by pressing them down until they click into place.
Cleaning the large filter
(Once a month) Clean the large filter (A) on both sides under running water, using a brush. To take it out, remove the spray arm by pressing the two tongues (E), turn the ring (F) anticlockwise and then slide the whole part out. Refit the filter following the above instructions in reverse order.

The dishwasher must not be used without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results. Cleaning the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of the machine.

PMC03GB

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.).
Prolonged periods of non-operation
If you are not using the machine for any period of time you are advised to: 1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water; 2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser; 3. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any unpleasant smells; 4. Leave the inside of the machine clean.

Frost precautions

Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature is below 0C. 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; 4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses. Avoid over tilting the machine during transport.

Water supply connections
This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 60C) or cold water. Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply. A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a lot. 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 dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation. The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks. Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could prevent or slow down the water supply. 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. This will prevent deposits of sand or rust clogging the inlet hose filter. 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. To make this easier, the hose itself may be turned to the left or the right.

The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following ways: 1. To the sink outlet siphon, securing it if necessary with a clip. 2. Hooked over the edge of the sink using the special curved plastic guide provided. 3. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal 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. 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. 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. 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. The sink plug must not be in place when the machine is draining as this could cause the water to siphon back into the machine.
