GENERAL INFORMATION
All models are freestanding dishwashers, they provide a choice of 8 wash programmes to suit load
requirements.
An LED display control unit allows the selection of the wash programmes, time delay, extra dry and
half load. The display indicates, with the use of symbols, the selected programme, the progress of
the programme, if the time delay and half load options have been selected. The appropriate symbol
will also be displayed.
Programme time left, low salt and rinse aid symbols are also shown on the display. If the machine
detects a water leak in the base panel, this is also indicated on the display.
All programmes are selected by pressing the programme button (P). This selects the appropriate
programme symbol on the LCD display. Once selected, pressing the Start/Reset button will start the
programme.
The selected programme can be cancelled at any time by pressing and holding the Start/Reset
button. After 5 seconds a long beep will be heard followed by 3 short beeps. The programme will
reset and a new programme can be selected.
The Mode button (M) on the console scrolls between the duo wash, time delay, extra dry and half
load options. Once the desired option symbol has been selected, pressing the Select button (S) will
enable the various settings of that function to be selected.
The Time Delay option can delay the start of the programme by up to 24 hours.
The Half Load option allows dishes to be washed in either the upper or lower basket.
Drying is achieved with a fan and condenser system (before Serial Number 50214.0000).
Drying takes between 20 to 30 minutes depending on the programme selected.
If Extra Dry has been selected, this increases the final rinse water temperature by 3°C and adds 5
minutes of residual drying.
Two short beeps and 'END' flashing in the LCD display indicate the end of the programme.
The salt refill indicator utilises a counter system which is achieved by the control module counting the
operations of the regeneration valve. It does not detect the presence of salt within the softener unit.
These dishwashers have features enabling a more efficient wash process.
A turbidity sensor identifies the soil level of the dishes. The sensor modifies the wash time and
temperature depending on the soil level of the pre-rinse water.
An alternating wash valve connected to the circulation motor controls how water is delivered to the
spray arms, giving a more efficient wash.
A filter cleaning programme is incorporated that should blocked filters be detected, then a special
programme is run to clean the filters. This feature only applies to the Intensive, Normal and Eco wash
programmes and may extend the programme time by up to 40 minutes.
A more detailed explanation can be found in the component description section of this manual.
Water hardness is adjusted by removing the salt container cap, and turning the arrowed adjuster
towards the + or - minus indicator as required.
