2.2. Product usage Installation

Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future reference. If the appliance is sold, given away or moved, please make sure the manual is kept with the machine, so that the new owner may benefit from the advice contained within it.

⚠️ Please read this instruction manual carefully: if contains important information regarding the safe installation, use and maintenance of the appliance.

⚠️ If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its back.

Positioning and levelling

1. Remove all appliance packaging and check that it has not been damaged during transportation. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed with the installation process.
2. Check the dishwasher by placing it so that its sides or back panel are in contact with the adjacent cabinets or even with the wall. This appliance can also be recessed under a single worktop.
3. Position the dishwasher on a levelled, sturdy floor. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance may be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position (the angle of inclination must not exceed 2 degrees). If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to move or cause vibrations and noise while it is operation.

Connecting the water and electricity supplies

⚠️ Connection to the water and electricity supplies should only be performed by a qualified technician.

The dishwasher should not stand on top of the water hoses or the electricity supply cable.

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

Connecting the water inlet hose

Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 34 (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 the appliance could be damaged.

Connecting the water outlet hose

Fit your dishwasher's drainage hose to the drainage pipe without bending it.

Remember that the length of the hose should not exceed 4 meters even with an extension.

If the drainage hose is longer the 4 m, the dishes will not be cleaned properly. Secure your hose firmly to the drainage pipe to avoid it coming off during the washing process.

Electrical connection

Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure:

- the socket is earthed and complies with current regulations;

- the socket can withstand the maximum load of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the inside of the door (see description of the appliance);

- the power supply voltage falls within the values indicated on the data plate on the inside of the door;

- the socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If this is not the case, ask an authorized technician to replace the plug (contact the Customer Support Service); do not use extension cables or multiple sockets.

Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket should be easily accessible.
The cable should not be bent or compressed.
⚠️ If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its Customer Support Service in order to prevent all potential hazards.
The company shall not be held responsible for any incidents that occur if these regulations are not observed.

Advice regarding the first washing programme

After the appliance has been installed, immediately before running the first washing programme, completely fill the salt dispenser and add approximately 2 Kg of salt (refer to section "Salt, Detergent and Rinse Aid"). The water may overflow: this is normal and is not a cause for concern. It is also normal that the LOW SALT indicator light continues to flash for a few cycles after the salt has been loaded.

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.

Levelling the Appliance

Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them in or out) to adjust the height of the dishwasher, making it level. In any case, the appliance should not be inclined more than 2^irc .

NOTE: the maximum adjustment height of the feet is 20 mm.

How to drain excess water from hoses

If the sink is 1000 mm higher from the floor, the excess water in the hoses cannot be drained directly into the sink. It will be necessary to

drain the excess water from the hoses into a bowl or into a 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, try to use a similar drain hose, no longer than 4 metres; otherwise the cleaning effect of the dishwasher could be reduced.

Syphon connection

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

Before starting the dishwasher

The followings should be observed before starting the dishwasher:

1. Whether the dishwasher is levelled and fixed;
2. Whether the inlet valve is opened;
3. Whether there is a 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.

Attention

After installation, please put this manual into the bags of printings, as its content is very helpful to the users.

Prior Using for the First Time

Before using your dishwasher for the first time, refer to the following items:

A. Set the water softener
B. Fill the salt container
C. Fill the rinse aid dispenser

D. Detergent

A. Set the water softener

The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the dishwasher's operation. The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the harder the water is. The softener should be adjusted according to your area's water hardness. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the water hardness in your area.

Setting

The amount of salt dispensed can be set from H0 to H7.

Salt is not required at the set value H0.

1. Find out about the water hardness in your area. Your water utility company will help you with this.
2. Set value can be found in the water hardness table.
3. Close the door.
4. Switch on "Power" switch.
5. Hold down "Delay" button and then press "Programme" button for 5 seconds.

The buzzer rings one time and "H..." flashes on the digital display (factory setting is H4).

To change the setting:

1. Press the "Delay" button.
   Each time the button is pressed, the set value increases by one level; when the value of H7 has been reached, the display jumps back to H0 (off).
2. Press the "Programme" button. The chosen setting has now been stored.
   Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.

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 uses salts specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.

B. Fill the salt container

The salt container is located beneath the lower basket 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 on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.

After the first washing programme the control panel light expires.

A. Remove the lower basket and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container.

B. If you are filling the container for the first time, fill 2/3 of its volume with water (around 500ml)②

C. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce about 2kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container.

D. Carefully screw the cap back on.

E. Usually, the salt warning light will be off in 2-6 days after the salt container is 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 may be full, the light indicator may not be off until the salt fully dissolves. If there is no salt warning light in the control panel, use your best judgement as to when load the salt into the softener dispenser given the number of cycles the dishwasher has run.

2. If the salt overspills, a programme can be run to eliminate them.

C. Fill the rinse aid dispenser

Rinse Aid feature

The rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring a thorough rinsing, 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), as this would damage the appliance.

When to Refill the Rinse Aid Dispenser

If there is no rinse aid warning light on the control panel, you can estimate the amount of rinse aid to be added by the colour 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 is lower, the size of the dark dot decreases. You should never let the rinse aid get below 14 full.

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

① 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 it. 3 Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with the "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 140 ml. Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, as it could cause excess suds. Wipe away any spills with a damp cloth. Don't forget to replace the cap before you close the dishwasher door.

Attention!

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

Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser has four or six settings. Always start with the dispenser set on "4" If spots and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by removing the dispenser lid and rotating the dial to "5". 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. The dose is factory set in the position 5.

NOTE: set the rinse aid dispenser to a higher dosage 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. Detergent

Detergents with its chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport it out of the dishwasher. Most 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

The use of “Eco” washing programmes together with concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; these washing programmes are specially matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For this reason, the “Eco” washing programme in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that could otherwise only be achieved using an “intensive” washing programme.

Detergent Tablets (3 in1)

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

Detergent Dispenser

The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each washing programme following the instructions provided in the Washing programme Table. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting a washing programme, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.

Amount of Detergent to Use

Technical line drawing of a mechanical device with no visible text or symbols

NOTE:

① If the lid is closed: press release button. The lid springs open.

② Always add the detergent just before starting each washing programme. Only use branded detergent aid for dishwasher.

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

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 the detergent

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

1 Where to place the main washing programme detergent. MIN means approximately 20 g of detergent.

②Where to place the pre-washing programme detergent, approximately 5 g of detergent.

Please observe the manufacturer's dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging.

Close the lid and press it 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 be used during the pre-wash phase.

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, powder detergents does not have phosphate. The water softener feature of phosphate is not given. In this case we recommend filling the salt dispenser even when the water hardness level is only 6

dH. If detergents without phosphate are used, together with a high water hardness level, white spots can appear on dishes and glasses. Should this occur, add more detergent to achieve better results. Detergents without chlorine only bleach a little. Strong and coloured spots will not be removed completely. Should this occur, choose a programme with a higher temperature.

Half Load

1.1 Half load is an additional function and can be used during the Intensive, Eco, 90min and 30min program and cannot be used in the pre-rinse program.
1.2 By activating the half load function, the machine will adjust the program reducing water and energy consumption as well as the program duration.
1.3 For best washing results, it is suggested that the use of this function be limited to a maximum load of half of the total load.

Loading the Upper Baskets

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

Attention before or after Loading the Dishwasher Baskets

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 the 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 cannot 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 baskets.

Removing the Dishes

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

Loading the Upper Basket

The upper basket 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 move around with the water spray.

Adjusting the upper Basket

If required, the height of the upper basket can be adjusted in order to create more space for large utensils either in the upper basket or lower basket. The upper basket 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 be required for use.

Loading the lower Basket

We recommend that you place large items which are most difficult to clean in to the lower basket: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure below.

It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the baskets 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 features fold down tine rows so that larger or more pots and pans can be loaded.

Folding racks

Folding racks consisting of two parts that are located on the lower basket of your machine are designed in order to let you more easily place big items, such as pots, pans, etc. If necessary, each part can be folded separately, or all of them can be folded and a larger space can be obtained. You can use folding racks by raising then upwards, or by folding them.

Cutlery basket

Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery basket with the handles down: if the basket has side baskets, spoons should be loaded individually into the appropriate slots and long utensils should be placed horizontally at the front of the upper basket.

• To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch
• Load large items which are most difficult to clean into the lower rack
• The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups

Attention!

Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard!

Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.

Damage to glassware and other dishes Possible causes:

- Type of glass or manufacturing process. Detergent's chemical composition.

- Water temperature and duration of the dishwasher programme. Suggested solution:

Suggested solution:

• Use glassware or porcelain dishes that have been marked dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.
• Use a mild detergent that is described as delicate on dishes. If necessary, seek further information from detergent manufacturers.
• Select a low temperature programme.
• To prevent damage, take glasses and cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the programme finishes.

At the End of the Wash

When the working cycle has finished, the digital display “---”, then stop. Turn off the appliance using the Power button, shut off the water supply and open the door of the dishwasher. Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid handling the dishes and utensils while they are still hot and more susceptible to breakage. They will also dry better.

Turning on the appliance

Starting a washing programme...

Pull out the lower and upper basket, load them with dishes and proceed accordingly:

1. Push them back. It is recommended to load the lower basket first, then the upper one (refer to section "Loading the Dishwasher"). Pour in the detergent.
2. Insert the plug into the socket. The power supply is 220-240 V AC 50 Hz, the specification of the socket is 12 A 250 VAC, 50 Hz.

Make sure the water supply is turned on to full pressure. Close the door, press the ON/OFF button, press the "programme" button to select a desired "Washing programme" (refer to section "Washing programme Table").

The Eco program is suitable to clean normally soiled tableware, it is the most efficient program in terms of its combined energy and water consumption. It is used to assess compliance with the EU ecodesign legislation.

Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy consumption and it's not recommended.

Apply a little force to ensure the door is properly closed.

NOTE: a click will be heard when the door is properly closed.

When the washing is over, you can switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.

Switching on

1. Open the tap, if it is closed.
2. Close the door.
3. Make sure the spray arms are not obstructed.
4. Switch the dishwasher on using the "Start/Pause" button.

Cancel/Change the program

Note: a cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has only been running for a short time. Otherwise, the detergent may have already been released, and the appliance may have already drained the wash water. Should this be the case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled (refer to section "Fill in the Detergent").

Open the door and press the power button for more than 3 seconds to turn off the machine and cancel the program. When you restart the machine, you can change the program to the desired cycle setting (refer to section "Starting a washing programme").

NOTE: if you open the door during a washing programme, the machine pauses, a warning alarm will ring and the display will show E1. When you close the door, the dishwasher will resume working.

Forget to add a dish

Dishes can be added any time before the detergent container opens.

1. Slightly open the door to stop the washing programme.
2. After the spray arms stop working, open the door completely.
3. Add the dishes.
4. Close the door. The dishwasher will resume work after 10 seconds.

WARNING!

It is dangerous to open the door when washing, as hot water may scald you.

Switch Off the Dishwasher

The digital display shows "--", only in this case the programme has ended.

1. Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the ON/OFF button.
2. Turn off the water tap!

2.3. Product Description Filtering System

The filter is used to avoid large residues and other sundries from getting inside the pump, as they can obstruct the filter.

The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (main filter) and a micro filter (fine filter).

1. Flat filter

Food and debris will be trapped by a special jet on the lower spray arm.

2. Coarse filter

Larger debris, such as bone and glass that could clog the drain, will be trapped in the coarse filter.

To remove an item caught in this filter, gently squeeze the taps on the top of this filter and lift it out.

3. Micro filter

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

• . Inspect the filters for obstructions after each use of the dishwasher.
• By unscrewing the coarse filter, you can remove the filter system. Remove any food remnants and clean the filters under running water.

Step 1. Rotate the coarse filter counter-clockwise and lift it up.

Step 2: Lift the flat filter.

NOTE: If operate from step 1 to step 2, the filter system will be removed; while operate from step 2 to step 1, the filter system will be installed.

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 recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the filter after each washing programme by rinsing the semi-circular filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull the cup handle upwards. The entire filter assembly should be cleaned once a week. To clean the coarse filter and the micro filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter parts as shown in the figures above and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning them in place 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 hit them. Otherwise, the filters could be contorted and the performance of dishwasher could be debased.

Cleaning the Spray Arms

It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly as 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.

Caring for the dishwasher

To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened cloth then dry it 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 location during the winter, ask a service technical t

O:

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 the water from the inlet pipe and water valve (you can use a pan to catch the water).
4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
5. Remove the filter in the tub and the bottom and use a sponge to collect water in the sump.

Cleaning the Door

To clean the edge around the door, you should only use a soft, warm, damp cloth. To prevent water penetration into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.

Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces as they will scratch the finish. Some paper towels can also scratch or leave marks on the surface.

WARNING!

Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel as it could damage

the door lock and electrical components. Do not use an abrasive agent or paper towels as you risk scratching or leaving spots on the stainless steel surface.

How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape

After every wash

After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave 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 take any unnecessary risks.

No solvents or abrasive cleaning

To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. 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 washing programme 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 in 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 cause for dishwasher odours is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this.

Attention:

The installation of the pipes and electrical equipment should be done by professionals.

Disconnect the electrical power before installing dishwasher. Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

Warning

Electrical Shock Hazard!

Disconnect the electrical power before installing dishwasher. Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

WARNING!

The packaging material could be dangerous for children!

Dispose of package and of the appliance at a recycling centre.

Cut off the power supply cable and make the door closing device unusable.
