NOTE

If your model has no water softener, you may skip this section.

- Loading the salt into the softener

Always use salt intended for use with dishwasher. The salt container is located beneath the basket and should be filled as follows:

WARNING

- Only use salt specifically designed for dishwashers! Every other type of salt not specifically designed for dishwasher use, 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 damages caused.

- Only fill with salt before running a cycle. This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.

A. Remove the basket and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container. B. Before first wash, add 1 liter of water in the salt container of your machine. C. Place the end of the funnel (if supplied) into the hole and introduce about 0.13 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container. D. After filling the container, screw the cap tightly back clockwise.

E. Usually, the salt warning light will cease to be illuminated within 2-6 days after the salt container has been filled with salt. F. Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing programme should be started (Suggest choose rapid program). Otherwise, the filter system, pump, or other important parts of the machine may be damaged by salty water. It is out of warranty.

NOTE

• The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light in the control panel comes on. Depending on how fully the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be on even though the salt container is filled. 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.
• If there are spills of the salt, a soak or a rapid program should be run to remove the excess salt.

• Adjusting Salt Consumption

Please follow the steps below for adjustment in salt consumption.

Step 1: Enter the status of salt adjustment

• Some glasses can become dull after a large number of washes. Silver and aluminium have a tendency to discolour during washing.
• Glazed patterns may fade if washed frequently.

Attention before or after loading the dishwasher baskets

For the best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of baskets and cutlery baskets may vary from your model. Scrape off any large food particles. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water. Place objects in the dishwasher in the following way:

• Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are face downwards.
• Curved items, or those with recesses, should be loaded at a slant so that water can run off. All utensils are stacked securely and cannot tip over.
• All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.

NOTE

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

• Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. with the opening facing downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
• Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
• To avoid damage to glasses, they must not be touched.
• 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 basket.
• Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and for reasonable energy consumption.

Filling the detergent

WARNING

- Only use detergent specifically for dishwashers.

Never use any other detergents. This will damage the appliance.

Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children.

Concentrated detergent

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

• Conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components.
• Low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.

The use of Normal washing program in combination with concentrated detergent reduces pollution and is good for your dishes.

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 Programs. Therefore please use long programs when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.

Detergent

The detergent must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the Wash Cycle Table. Your dishwasher uses less detergent than conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. More heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.

- Filter system

WARNING

• Never use the dishwasher without filters!
• Make sure the filter is properly assembled.

The performance may be affected and dishes and utensils could become damaged.

The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be recycled during the cycle.

For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned regularly. 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 filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull the cup handle in the upward direction.

B. Fine filter

This filter holds soil and food residues in the sump area and prevents it from being deposited on the dishes during the wash cycle.

A. Main filter

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

Step 1: Rotate the filter assembly counterclockwise, then lift it all up.

Step 2: Lift the fine filter up from the main filter.

NOTE

If you do it from step 1 to step 2, the filter system will be removed; while if you do it from step 2 to step 1, the filter system will be installed.

The entire filter assembly should be cleaned once a week.

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

WARNING

When cleaning the filters, don't knock on them. Otherwise, the filters could be contorted and the performance of dishwasher could be decreased.

• Caring for the Dishwasher

The control panel can be cleaned by using a lightly dampened cloth. After cleaning, make sure to dry it thoroughly. For the exterior use a good appliance polish wax. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

Cleaning The Door

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

WARNING

- Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel as it may damage the door lock and electrical components.

Protect against freezing

Please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in winter. Before each washing cycle, please operate as follows.

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 at the bottom of the tub and use a sponge to soak up water in the sump.

NOTE

If your dishwasher cannot work because of the ice, please contact authorised service person.

Cleaning the spray arms

The spray arms can be easily removed for periodic cleaning of the nozzles to prevent possible clogging. Wash them under running water and carefully replace them in their seats, checking that their rotary movement is in no way impeded.

Grasp the middle of the spray arm, pull it upwards to remove it. Wash the arms under a jet of running water and replace it carefully to its seat. After reassembly, check that the spray arms rotate freely. Otherwise, check that they have been installed correctly.

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 open so that moisture and odours are not trapped inside.

Remove the plug

Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket.

No solvents or abrasive cleaning

To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Only use a cloth with warm soapy water.

To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water an a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.

When not in use for a long time

It is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, leaving the door of the appliance open. This will help the door seals to 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.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect electrical power before installing dishwasher.

Failure to do so could result in death or electrical shock.

Attention

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

• Installation preparation

The installation position of the dishwasher should be near the existing water inlet tap, drain outlet, and power socket.

One side of the cabinet sink should be chosen to facilitate the connection of drain hoses of the dishwasher.

• 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.

About Power Connection

WARNING

For personal safety:

• Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug with this appliance.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the earthing connection from the power cord.

Electrical Requirements

Please look at the rating label to know the rated voltage and connect the dishwasher to the appropriate power supply. Use the required fuse 10 amp, time delay fuse or circuit breaker recommended and provide a separate circuit serving only this appliance.

Electrical Connection

Ensure the voltage and frequency of the power supply correspond to those on the rating plate. Only 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 adaptors or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.

⚠ Ensure that proper earthing exists before use

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.

Please Note: If the supplied hose does not fit your tap, please contact your local plumbing supply center where adapters are available for purchase.

Connection of drain hoses

The connection of the drain pipe: Put the end of the drain into a sink or bucket.

How to Drain Excess Water From Hoses

If the sink is more than 1000 mm higher than 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 drain hose is not kinked or squashed.
