How to use

Install the dishwasher behind a compatible 60 cm cabinet front following the manufacturers installation instructions and local electrical and plumbing regulations. Load dishes according to standard dishwasher guidelines, placing larger items on the lower rack and more delicate or smaller items on the upper rack. Select an appropriate program based on the soil level and the type of items being washed. Add detergent suitable for automatic dishwashers and, if required, rinse aid to improve drying performance. Start the cycle and allow it to finish before unloading, taking care to avoid hot water contact immediately after completion.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the programme that matches the load size and soil level; pre-rinse only very heavily soiled items. Regularly check and clean filters and spray arms, and use the AquaStop feature as part of a comprehensive approach to prevent water damage in the kitchen.
