Water supply connection

Make sure that domestic water supply system is suitable for the dishwasher. It is recommended to install a filter in the water supply line to avoid damage to the appliance due to impurities (such as sand, clay, rust, etc.) that occasionally occur in water. This will also prevent accumulation of sediment after dishwashing.

Water supply hose

Do not use the water supply hose from the old dishwasher. Use the new water supply hose provided with the appliance. Before connecting, rinse the hose with water. Connect the water supply hose directly to the water feed valve. The domestic water system pressure should be at least 0.03 MPa and up to 1 MPa. If the water pressure exceeds 1 MPa, install pressure reducing valve.

When the connection is ready, open the valve completely and check for leaks.

For safety reasons, close the water supply tap after every wash.

The importance of water descaling

A dishwasher requires soft water (with low calcium content) to operate efficiently. Otherwise, white residue main remain on the dishes and inside the appliance. This has a negative impact on the quality of dishwashing, rinsing and drying. When the water flows through the softener, ions responsible for the water hardness are removed, and the water becomes soft, for best dishwashing results. Depending on the degree of water hardness, the ions responsible for water hardness accumulate quickly inside the water softener. Therefore, the water softener must be regenerated to operate with the same efficiency during the next wash. This is why special salt is used in the dishwasher.

Add special salt

Only use special salt intended for dishwashers. To add special salt you must first remove the lower basket and then open the lid of the salt dispenser by turning it counter clockwise - (1). Fill the special salt dispenser (\~ 1.5 kg of special salt) and water

Use only the special salt intended for dishwashers.

Fill the salt container with water only before first use.

Do not add kitchen salt to the dishwasher. The salt dispenser can degrade over time. When you start a programme special salt dispenser is filled with water. Therefore, you should pour the special salt before starting the dishwasher. Special salt will be washed away during the dishwashing programme. If you pour the special salt and do not intend to run a dishwashing programme, run the quick programme with an empty dishwasher in order to prevent corrosion.

The test strip

The dishwashing effectiveness is linked to water hardness. Therefore, the appliance is equipped with a system to reduce the hardness of the water supply. The dishwashing effectiveness is improved when the system is set correctly. To check water hardness contact the municipal water company or determined the water hardness using test strip (if available).

Open the test strip package	Open the water tap for 1 min.	Immerse the test strip in the water for 1 second.	Once removed shake off the residual water	Wait 1 min.	Set the dishwasher water hardness in accordance with the measurement madeLevel 1 – no calciumLevel 2 – very small calcium contentLevel 3 – small calcium contentLevel 4 – medium calcium contentLevel 5 – high calcium contentLevel 6 - very high calcium content
					Level 1No LimeLevel 2Very low lime contentLevel 3Low lime contentLevel 4Medium lime contentLevel 5Lime contentLevel 6High lime content

PREPARE THE APPLIANCE FOR OPERATION

Fill the detergent dispenser

Press latch to open the detergent dispenser, as shown in figure. (1) The detergent dispenser features volume marking. Using these markings (lines) you can measure the correct amount of detergent. The dispenser can accommodate a maximum of 30g of detergent.

Open the pack with dishwasher detergent and in the case of heavily soiled dishes pour 25 cm ^3 detergent into the main wash compartment (b) or 15 cm ^3 for less soiled dishes. (2) If the dishes remained unwashed for an extended period of time or if food has dried, pour 5 cm ^3 detergent (a) into the pre-wash compartment and start the dishwasher. Depending on the amount of soil and the water hardness you may need to add more detergent.

Multi-component (multitab) detergents (eg. 2-in-1, 3-in-1, etc.)

There are three types of detergents:

1. Containing phosphates and chlorine,
2. Containing phosphates and no chlorine,
3. Containing no phosphates and no chlorine.
   The latest tablets are generally phosphate-free. Since phosphates have water softening properties, we recommend adding salt to the container even if the water hardness is only 6^ dH. If you use phosphate-free detergent where water is hard, white residue may be visible on the dishes. You can prevent this by increasing the amount of detergent. Chlorine-free detergents have less bleaching effect. Stains may not be entirely removed. Select

the programme with a higher wash temperature.

Generally, using multi-component detergents suitable results are obtained only under certain conditions. Such detergents contain rinse aid and/or special salt in a specific amount. It is recommended to use special salt when using multi-component tablets.

What you should pay attention to when using these tablets.

• Always check the type of detergent used and whether it is a multi-component product.
- Make sure that the detergent used is appropriate for tap water hardness.
- Follow the instructions on the product packaging.
- If the detergent is in the form of tablets, never place it the cutlery basket. Always place the tablet in the detergent dispenser compartment.
- The use of these detergents yields good results only in certain applications. Using this type of detergent you should contact the manufacturer for information about proper use.
- If you use the detergent properly and dishwasher settings are correct you can save on salt and/or rinse aid.
- If dishwashing results while using 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 detergents are not satisfactory (traces of lime scale on the dishes), please contact the detergent manufacturer. The warranty does not cover complaints due to the use of multi-component detergents.

Recommended use: For best results using multi-component cleaning agents, add special salt and rinse aid in the dishwasher and set the water hardness and amount of rinse aid to the lowest setting.

The solubility of the detergent tablets made by different manufacturers can vary with regard to temperature and time. It is therefore not recommended to use detergent tablets in quick programmes. It is recommended to use powder detergents in quick programmes.

Always store detergents in a dry, cool place, out of reach of children. Add detergent to the dispenser immediately before using the appliance.

Warning: If encounter another problem when using a multi-component detergent, please contact the detergent manufacturer.

PREPARE THE APPLIANCE FOR OPERATION

Stop using multi-component detergents

• Add special salt and rinse aid to dispensers.
• Set the water hardness to the highest level (6) and run an empty dishwasher.
• Adjust the water hardness.
• Adjust rinse aid setting.

Add rinse aid to the dispenser and adjust setting

Use rinse aid to prevent the formation of white water drops, lime scale spots, white streaks that may occur on the dishes, as well as to improve the drying process. Contrary to popular belief, it not only serves to obtain a shiny dishes, but also to facilitate drying. For this reason, make sure there is always sufficient amount of rinse aid in the dispenser.

If the rinse aid indicator on the control panel lights up, add rinse aid to the dispenser.

To add rinse aid remove the dispenser lid by unscrewing it (1). Add rinse aid until the level indicator becomes dark. (4) Replace the lid and turn it until markings align. Use rinse aid level indicator to make sure the level is sufficient. Dark colour (4) indicates sufficient rinse aid level in the dispenser, and the light colour (4) indicates you need to add rinse aid to the dispenser.

You can adjust rinse aid dosage from 1 to 6. The factory setting for the rinse aid is 4. Adjust to a higher dose if streaks remain on the dishes after drying or to a lower dose if blue residue collets on the dishes.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Regular dishwasher cleaning can extend its lifetime of trouble-free operation.

Grease and limescale can accumulate in dish-washer chamber. In the event of such accumulation

- Add detergent and do not load any dishes. Select a high temperature washing programme and start the dishwasher. If the result is not satisfactory, use a special cleaner available on the market. (Cleaners manufactured specifically for dishwashers).

Clean the dishwasher door seal

To remove any accumulated residue from the door seals, wipe the seals regularly with a damp cloth.

Clean the dishwasher

Clean the spray arms and filters at least once a week. Before cleaning unplug the dishwasher from wall outlet and close the water supply valve. Do not use harsh or abrasive materials when cleaning. Wash with a mild cleaning agent and a damp cloth.

Filters

Check if food residue has accumulated on the strainer and fine filter. If so, remove the filters and clean them thoroughly under running water.

1. Main filter
2. Strainer
3. Fine filter

1. Remove the lower basket.
2. Turn the strainer counter-clockwise and pull it up.
3. Remove the filter assembly.
4. Remove the fine filter from the strainer
5. Thoroughly clean the filters under running water. Use a brush if necessary.

Spray arms

Make sure that jet nozzles the upper and lower spray arm are not clogged. If jet nozzles are clogged, remove the spray arms and clean them under running water.

Remove the lower spray arm by pulling it upwards, while the upper arm is removed by turning the nut counter-clockwise.

When mounting the spray arm make sure that the nut is well tightened.

Water supply hose filter

The water is filtered by the filter in the water supply line to avoid damage to the appliance due to impurities (such as sand, clay, rust, etc.) that occasionally occur in water. This will also prevent accumulation of sediment after dishwashing. Periodically inspect the filter and hose and clean if necessary. To clear the filter, close the water supply valve, then remove the hose. Remove the filter from the hose and clean it under running water. Replace the clean filter inside the hose. Install the hose.
