4. Prior using for the first time

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

A. Set the water softener
B. Add 1.5kg dishwasher salt and full fill the salt container with water
C. Fill the rinse aid dispenser
D. Function of detergent

A. Water Softener

The water softener must be set manually, using the water hardness dial

The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance. The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the harder your water is. 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.

Adjusting Salt Consumption

The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimize and customize the level of salt consumption so that the salt consumption could be set proceed as follows:

Simple circular diagram with a central plus sign and arrow, no text or symbols present

1. Unscrew the cap from the salt container
2. There is a ring on the container with a narrow on it (see figure to the side), if necessary, rotate the ring in the anticlockwise direction from the “-”Setting toward the “+”sign, based on the hardness of the water being used. It is recommended that adjustments should be made in accordance with the following schema:

WATER HARDNESS				Selector Position	Salt consumption (gram/cycle)	Auto nomy (cycles/1.2kgs)
°dH	°fH	°Clark	mmol/l
0~8	0~14	0~10	0~1.4	/	0	/
8~22	14~39	10~28	1.4~3.9	-	20	60
22~45	39~480	28~56	3.9~8	Mid	40	30
>45	>80	>56	>8	+	60	20

Note:1 ° dH=1.25 ° Cl ark=1.78 ° fH=0.178mmol/
° dH : German degree
° fH : French degree
° Clark: British degree

Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.

NOTE: If your model have not water softener, you may skip this section

WATER SOFTENER

The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes and utensils.

The appliance is equipped with a special softener that used salt specifically design to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.

B. Loading the Salt into the Softener

Always use salt intended for use with dishwasher.

The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows: Attention!

Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers! All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. In case of damages caused by the use of unsuitable salt the manufacturer does not give any warranty nor is liable for any caused damages.

Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes.

This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been split, remaining of the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.

After the first wash cycle the control panel light expires.

A Remove the lower basket and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container. 1
B Place the end of the funnel(supplied) into the hole and introduce about 1.5kg of dishwasher salt.
Full fill the salt container with water. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container. 2
D Carefully screw the cap back on.
E Usually, the salt warning light will be off in 2-6 days after the salt container be filled with salt.

NOTE: 1. The salt container must be refilled when the salt warning light in the control panel comes on.
Though the salt container is filled enough, the indicator light may not black out before the salt fully dissolve.
If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (for some models), you can judge when to load the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher had run (see the following schema).
2. If there are spills of the salt, a soak program could be run to wipe them out.

C. Fill the Rinse Aid Dispenser

Function of the Rinse Aid

Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.

Attention!

Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.

When to refill the Rinse Aid Dispenser

If there is no rinse-aid warning light in the control panel, you can judge the amount of rinse-aid by the color of the optical level indicator "D" located next to the cap. When the rinse-aid container is full, the whole indicator will be dark. As the rinse-aid diminishes, the size of the dark dot decreases. You should never let the rinse aid get below 1 / 4 full.

As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below.

Full
3 / 4 full
1/2 full
- 1 / 4 full - Should refill to eliminate spotting
○ Empty

Illustration of a hand pressing down on a card with a scroll wheel (no text or symbols)

To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the "open" (left) arrow and lift it out.
2 Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill.
3 Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with "open" arrow and turning it to the closed (right) arrow.

The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes that can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to sheet off the dishes.

Your dishwashers are designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to the detergent dispenser. To fill the dispenser, open the cap and pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator turns completely black. The volume of the rinse aid container is about 140ml.

Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, because this could cause over sudsing. Wipe away any spills with a damp cloth. Don't forget to replace the cap before you close dishwasher door.

Attention!

Clean up any rinse aid split during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.

Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser has six or four settings. Always start with the dispenser set on "2". If spots and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by removing the dispenser lid and rotating the dial to "3". If the dishes still are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number until your dishes are spot-free. We suggest you to set on "4"(Factory value is "4")

NOTE:

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 or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

D. Function of Detergent

Detergents with its chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport it out of the dishwasher. Most of commercial quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.

Concentrated Detergent

Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher can be split in two basic types:

■ conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components
■ low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes

Detergent Tablets

Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programmes. Therefore please use long programmes when using detergent tablets, to unsure the complete removal of detergent residuals.

Detergent Dispenser

The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the Wash Cycle Table? Your dishwashers use less detergent and rinse aid then conventional dishwashers. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent. AI ways add the detergent just before starting dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.

Amount of Detergent to Use

NOTE:

1 If the lid is closed: press release button. The lid springs open.
2 Always add the detergent just before starting each wash cycle. Only use branded detergent aid for dishwasher.

WARNING!

Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out of reach of children.

Proper Use of Detergent

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don't put powder detergent into the dispenser until you're ready to wash dishes.

Fill in detergent

Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels, as illustrated on right:

1 The place of main wash cycle detergent placed, "MIN" means approximately 20g of detergent.
2 The place of pre-wash cycle detergent placed, approximately 5g of detergent

Please observe the manufacturers dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging.

Close the lid and press until it locks in place.

If the dishes are heavily soiled, place an additional detergent dose in the pre-wash detergent chamber. This detergent will take effect during the pre-wash phase.

NOTE:

You find information about the amount of detergent for the single programmes on the last page. Please aware, that according to the level soiling and the specific hardness of water differences are possible.

Please observe the manufacturer's recommendations on the detergent packaging.

Detergents

There are 3 sorts of detergents

1. With phosphate and with chlorine
2. With phosphate and without chlorine
3. Without phosphate and without chloride

Normally new pulverised detergent is without phosphate. The water softener function of phosphate is not given. In this case we recommend to fill salt in the salt container even when the hardness of water is only 6 dH. If detergents without phosphate were used in case of hard water often white spots appear at dishes and glasses. In this case please add more detergent to reach better results. Detergent s without chlorine do only bleach a little. Strong and coloured spots will not remove completely. In this case please choose a programme with higher temperature.

5. Loading the Dishwasher Racks

For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model.

Attention before or after Loading the Dishwasher Racks

Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water. Place objects in the dishwasher in following way:

1. Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are stood upside down.
2. Curve items, or those with recesses, should be at a slant so that water can run off.
3. They are stacked securely and can not tip over.
4. They do not prevent the spray arms from rotating while washing takes place.

Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the racks.

Removing the Dishes

To prevent water dripping from the upper back into the lower back, we recommend that you empty the lower basket first and then the upper back.

Loading the Upper Rack

The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cup and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty).

Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get moved by the spray of water.

Adjusting the Upper Rack

If required, the height of the upper rack can be adjusted in order to create more space for large utensils either in the upper rack or lower rack. The upper rack can be adjusted for height by putting wheels of different height into the rails. Long items, serving cutlery, salad servers or knives should be placed on the shelf so that they do not obstruct the rotation of the spray arms. The shelf can be folded back or removed when not required for use.

Loading the Lower Rack

We recommend that you place large items which are most difficult to clean in to the lower rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure to the right. It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.

Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed top down.

Deep pots should be slanted to allow water to flow out.

The bottom rack feature fold down tine rows so that larger or more pots and pans can be loaded.

Folding spikes

To improve stacking of pots and pans, the spikes can be folded down

7. Maintenance and Cleaning

Filtering System

For your convenience, we have placed the drain pump and filtering system within easy reach inside the tub. There are three components of the filtering system: the main filter, the coarse filter, and the fine filter.

1 Main filter

Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the lower spray arm and washed down the drain.

2 Coarse filter

Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass, that could clog the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove an item caught in this filter, gently squeeze the tabs on top of this filter and lift it out.

3 Fine filter

This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being redeposited on the dishes during a cycle.

Caring for the Dishwasher

To clean the control panel use a lightly dampened cloth then dry thoroughly. To clean the exterior use a good appliance polish wax.

Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

Protect Against Freezing

If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technical to:

1. Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3. Drain water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to catch the water)
4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
5. Remove the filter in the tub the bottom and use a sponge to use up water in sump.

Cleaning the Spray Arms

It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly for hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings. To remove the spray arms, screw off the nut clockwise to take out the washer on top of the spray arm and remove the arm. Wash the arms in soapy and warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing them thoroughly.

Cleaning the Filters

• Inspect the filters for obstructions every time the dishwasher has been used.
• By unscrewing the filter cylinder, you can remove the filter system. Remove any food remnants and clean the filters under running water.

step 1: contrarotate the filter cylinder, and then lift it up;
step 2: lift the Main filter up
step 3: lift the Fine filter up
If operation from step1 to step 3, the filter system will be removed; counter-operation will install the filter system.

NOTE:

Filter assembly

For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned. The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be re-circulated during the cycle. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the semicircular filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull on the cup handle in the upward direction. The entire filter assembly should be cleaned once a week. To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter parts as shown in the figures left and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat and pressing downward. The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.

WARNING!

Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place. When cleaning the filters, don't knock on them. Otherwise, the filters could be contorted and the performance of dishwasher could be debased.

How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape

After Every Wash

After every wash, turn of f the water supply to the appliance and I eave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odours are not trapped inside.

Remove the Plug

Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket. Do not run risks.

No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning

To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather, use only a cloth and warm soapy water. To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.

When you Go on Holiday

When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This will help

the seals last longer and prevent odours from forming within the appliance.

Moving the Appliance

If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.

Seals

One of the factors that cause odours to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.

Electrical Requirements

Please see the rating label to know the rating voltage and connect the dishwasher to appropriate power supply, Use required fuse 12 amp. Fused electrical supply is required-copper wire only. Time delay fuse or circuit breaker recommended and provide separate circuit serving only this appliance. Outlet should be placed in adjacent cabinet.

Electrical Connection

After making sure that the voltage and the frequency values for the current in the home correspond to those on the rating plate and that the electrical system is sized for the maximum voltage on the rating plate, insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthed properly. If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace the socket, rather than using a adaptors or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.

⚠️ Insure proper ground exists before use

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance of electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

▲ WARNING!

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance; If it is not fit for the outlet. Have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

WARNING!

In order to avoid that there is more water staying in the inlet hose, please close the hydrant after using. (For the models: no safety inlet hose.)

Hand holding a wrench to press a valve (no text or symbols visible)

The appliance must be connected the water mains using new hose-sets. The old hose-sets should not be reused.

Water pressure must be between 0,04 MPa and 1 MPa. If the pressure is below the minimum consult our Service Department for advice.

1 Pull the safety supply hoses completely out from storage compartment located at rear of dishwasher.
2 Tighter the screws of the safety supply hose to the faucet with thread 3.4 inch.
3 Turn water fully on before starting the dishwasher.

ABOUT THE SAFETY SUPPLY HOSE.

The safety supply hose consists of the double walls. The hose's system guarantees its intervention by blocking the flow of water in case of the supply hose breaking and when the air space between the supply hose itself and the outer corrugated hose is full of water.

▲ WARNING!

A hose that attaches to a sink spray can burst if it is installed on the same water line as the dishwater. If your sink has one, it is recommended that the hose be disconnected and the hole plugged.

How to Disconnect the supply hose

1 Turn off the water.
2 Release the water pressure by depressing the pressure release button. This relieves water pressure and protects you, and the romm, from severe splashing.
3 Unscrew the supply hose from the faucet.

Cold Water Connection

Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4(inch) connector and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place. If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk that the water inlet can get blocked and damage the appliance.

Positioning the Appliance

Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left to facilitate proper installation.

How to Drain Excess Water From Hoses

If the sink is 1000 higher from the floor, the excess water in hoses cannot be drained directly into the sink. It will be necessary to drain excess water from hoses into a bowl or suitable container that is held outside and lower than the sink.

Water Outlet

Connect the water drain hose. The drain hose must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks. Ensure that the water inlet hose is not kinked or squashed.

Extension Hose

If you need a drain hose extension, observe to use a similar drain hose. It must be no longer than 4 metres; otherwise the cleaning effect of the dishwasher could be reduced.

Syphon Connection

The waste connect ion must be at a height of between 50 cm (mini mum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the dish. The water drain hose should be fixed by a hose clip.

Aquasafe

The Aquasafe System is a safety valve system, preventing you from water leaks. If the water inlet hose starts to leak during a wash cycle, the safety valve cuts off the running water. Do not immerse the water inlet hose or the safety valve in water, because the electrical cable for the safety valve is in the double-walled water inlet hose.

If water inlet hose or the safety valve is damaged, remove the main plug immediately. Do not enlarge or shorten the inlet hose because it contains electric parts.

- Start of dishwasher

The followings should be checked before starting the dishwasher.

1 Whether the dishwasher is level and fixed
2 Whether the inlet valve is opened
3 Whether there is leakage at the connections of the conducts
4 Whether the wires are tightly connected
5 Whether the power is switched on
6 Whether the inlet and drain hoses are knotted
7 All packing materials and printings should be taken out from the dishwasher
