INTRODUCTION
To get the best out of your new appliance, please read this user guide carefully before using it for the first time. Take particular note of the safety precautions. We also recommend that you keep the instructions for future reference.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
General
•Only to be used for its original purpose, i.e. washing of plates, glasses, cutlery and similar general household items.
•Avoid using the dishwasher to wash kitchen equipment that is not
•For domestic use only. Not for outdoor or commercial use.
•Keep an eye on any children in the vicinity of the appliance when it is in use. Children must not be allowed to use the appliance unless supervised by an adult.
•Detergent must always be stored out of reach of children, as it is highly toxic.
•Make sure that detergent does not come into contact with the eyes or skin.
•Never use solvents or thinners in the appliance, as these can cause explosions or fire.
•Do not spray water onto the outside of the appliance and never immerse it in water, as this can cause
•Never insert anything into the ventilation slots or other openings.
•Do not allow persons or heavy objects to rest on the door when it is open. This can cause the door and hinges to become deformed and cease functioning correctly.
•Never try to repair the appliance yourself. If the appliance, cable or plug needs to be repaired, it should be taken to an authorised service centre. Unauthorised repairs or modifications will invalidate the guarantee. Please contact the store where you bought the appliance for repairs under guarantee.
Positioning the appliance
•Do not place the appliance or the cord near hot areas, for example gas rings and electric hotplates.
•Do not remove the feet.
•Not suitable for integral installation. Ensure the vent holes on the front of the door and the back of the cabinet are not covered. If they are covered while the appliance is in use, there is a risk of it overheating.
Connection
•For connection to 230 V, 50 Hz only. The guarantee is not valid if it is connected
to the wrong voltage.
oThe appliance should only be connected to sockets with a functioning earth circuit that is suitable for the mains plug.
oPosition the appliance so that the cord can easily reach the socket without being in the way or posing a safety hazard.
o The appliance is equipped with a safety function that switches it off automatically in the event of any irregularity in the power supply.
•The appliance must normally be connected to the hot water supply.
oIf the hot water supply temperature cannot be kept below 65 ºC, the appliance must be connected to the cold water supply instead.
Use
•Do not use the appliance if the cable or plug are damaged, if it is not functioning properly, or if it has been damaged by a heavy impact or similar.
•If the door is left open, you risk being exposed to hot steam. Water damage can also occur.
oDo not open the door when the display shows "High temperature", as very hot steam inside the appliance can cause burns.
o Keep children away from the appliance when the door is opened.
oDo not use if the safety locking system is not functioning, which means that the appliance could be switched on even if the door is not closed.
•Avoid touching the heating element in the base of the appliance (below the filter) immediately after use, as this can be very hot.

PREPARING THE APPLIANCE
Each individual appliance is checked at the factory, but for safety’s sake, after unpacking it, you should check carefully that it has not been damaged during transport.
•Check whether there is any visible damage (e.g. in the form of dents or similar), if the door closes properly, and if the hinges are in order.
•If the appliance appears to have been damaged, contact the shop where you bought it, and do not use it until it has been checked by an authorised specialist.
•Before use, check that you have removed all packaging inside and out.
Positioning the appliance
•The appliance must stand on a flat surface capable of bearing its weight (17.3 kg).
•The appliance must be level – adjust the four
•For domestic use only. There must be a clearance of at least 10 cm at the rear, 5 cm at the sides and 48 cm above to ensure sufficient ventilation.
Connection
•The microwave oven must be connected to a
•Always use new hoses when installing the appliance. Old hoses should not be reused for new installations.
•Screw the hose to the water supply at the water intake (a).
oThe water intake on the appliance ends in a ¾" female plug – check that the correct hose is used.
o Do not tighten the connection too much, as this can damage the thread.
oThere should be a stopcock connected to the hose, so it is easy to disconnect the water supply to the appliance.
oWater can be supplied from a normal tap, but it is recommended that the appliance be connected to a permanent water supply, if possible. You must
ensure that the correct spacers or adapters are used to connect the appliance in a safe and secure manner.
oThe appliance uses water with a temperature of 55 ºC, and it is therefore normally connected to the hot water supply.
If the hot water supply temperature cannot be kept below 65 ºC, the appliance
must be connected to the cold water supply, as it may be damaged by water that is too hot.
oWater pressure must be between 0.03 MPa and 1.0 MPa to ensure good results. o The appliance is equipped with a water level gauge, which ensures that the
appliance stops automatically if there is a drop in water pressure.
• Attach the drainage hose (c) to the drainage nozzle (b) using the hose clip (d). Tighten the hose clip until the hose is secure.
o NOTE: TAKE CARE WHEN TIGHTENING THE HOSE CLIP, AS IT HAS SHARP EDGES.
o The drainage hose is fed upwards like an upturned U over the accompanying plastic
o The drainage hose should be fed down into a drainage pipe, which must be no higher than max. 15 cm above the base of the appliance. The drainage pipe diameter should be at least 30 mm in order to ensure that air can escape around the drainage hose.
• Switch on the power.
