Installation

Machine positioning

• When positioning the machine, place it in an area where dishes can be easily loaded and unloaded. Do not put the machine in an area where the ambient temperature falls below 0^ .
• Read all warnings located on the packaging before removing the packaging and positioning the machine.
• Place the machine close to a water tap and drain. Take into consideration that the connections will not be altered once the machine is in position.
• Do not hold the machine by its door or panel.
• Leave an adequate distance around the machine to allow ease of movement when cleaning.

WARNING

Ensure the water inlet and outlet hoses are not squeezed or trapped and that the machine does not stand on the electrical cable while positioning.

• Adjust the feet so the machine is level and balanced. The machine should be placed on flat ground otherwise it will be unstable and the door of the machine will not close properly.

Water connection

We recommend fitting a filter to your water inlet supply in order to prevent damage to your machine due to contamination (sand, rust, etc.) from indoor plumbing. This will also help prevent yellowing and deposit formation after washing.

NOTE PRINTING ON THE WATER INLET HOSE!

If models are marked with 25^ , the water temperature may be max. 25^ (cold water).

For all other models:

Cold water preferred; hot water max. temperature 60^ C .

Water inlet hose

WARNING

• Use the new water inlet hose supplied with your machine, do not use an old machine's hose.
• Run water through the new hose before connecting.
• Connect the hose directly to the water inlet tap. The pressure supplied by the tap should be a minimum of 0.03MPa and a maximum of 1MPa . If the pressure exceeds 1MPa , a pressure relief valve must be fitted between the connection.

WARNING

• After the connections are made, turn the tap on fully and check for water leaks. Always turn off the water inlet tap after a wash program has finished.

WARNING

An Aquastop water spout is available with some models. Do not damage it or allow it to become kinked or twisted.

Drain Hose

Connect the water drain hose directly to water drain hole or to the sink outlet spigot. This connection should be minimum 50 cm and maximum 110 cm from floor that dishwasher is placed.

IMPORTANT

Items will not wash properly if a drain hose longer than 4 ~m is used.

Electrical connection

WARNING

Your machine is set to operate at 220-240 V. If the mains voltage supply to your machine is 110 V, connect a transformer of 110/220 V and 3000 W between the electrical connection.

WARNING

Connect the product to a grounded outlet protected by a fuse complying with the values in the «Technical Specifications» table.

The earthed plug of the machine must be connected to an earthed outlet supplied by suitable voltage and current.

Before using the appliance

Preparing your dishwasher for first use

• Make sure the electricity and supply water specifications match the values indicated in the installation instructions for the machine.
• Remove all packaging material inside the machine.
• Set the water softener level.
• Fill the rinse aid compartment.

Salt usage (IF AVAILABLE)

• For a good washing function, the dishwasher needs soft, i.e. less calcareous water. Otherwise, White lime residues will remain on the dishes and the interior equipment. This will negatively affect your machine's washing, drying and shining performance. When water flows through the softener system, the ions forming the hardness are removed from the water and the water reaches the softness required to obtain the best washing result. Depending on the level of hardness of the inflowing water, these ions that harden the water accumulate rapidly inside the softener system. Therefore, the softener system has to be refreshed so that it operates with the same performance also during the next wash. For this purpose, dishwasher salt is used.
• Machine can only be used by special dishwasher salt to soften the water. Do not use any small grained or powdered type of salts which can easily soluble. Using any other type of salt can damage your machine.

Fill the salt (IF AVAILABLE)

To add softener salt, open the salt compartment cap by turning it counter clockwise. 1 2 At first use, fill the compartment with 1kg salt and water 3 until it is almost overflowing. If available, using a funnel 4 will make filling easier. Replace the cap and close it. After every 20-30 Cycles add salt into your mach until it fills up (approx. 1kg ).

Only add water to the salt compartment on first use.

• Use softener salt specifically produced for use in dishwashers.
• When you start your dishwasher, the salt compartment is filled with water, therefore put the softener salt in prior to starting your machine.
• If the softener salt has overflowed and you do not start the machine immediately, run a short washing program to protect your machine against corrosion.

Test Strip

Run water through the tap (1min.)	Keep the strip in the water (1sec)	Shake the strip.	Wait (1min.)	Set the hardness level of your machine.

Water Softener System

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which reduces the hardness in the mains water supply. To find out the hardness level of your tap water, contact your water company or use the test strip (if available).

Setting

• Turn on the machine by pressing the On/Off button.
• Press the Program button for at least 3 seconds immediately after the machine is turned on.
• Release the Program button when "SL" is shown. Next, the last setting level is displayed.
• Press the program button to set the desired level. Each press of the program button increases the level. Once level 6 has been reached, the next press returns the level to 1.
• The last selected water hardness level is stored in the memory by turning the machine off with the On/Off button.

Detergent usage

• Only use detergents specifically designed for domestic dishwashers. Keep your detergents in cool, dry places out of reach of children.
• Add the proper detergent for the selected program to ensure the best performance.
• The amount of detergent needed depends on the cycle, load size, and soil level of dishes.
• Do not fill detergent into the detergent compartment more than required; otherwise you can see whitish streaks or bluish layers on glass and dishes and may cause glass corrosion. Continued use of too much detergent may cause machine damage.
• Using little detergent can result in poor cleaning and you can see whitish streaksin hard water.
• See the detergent manufacturer's instructions for a further information.

Filling the detergent

• Push the latch to open the dispenser and pour in the detergent.
• Close the lid and press it until it locks in place. The dispenser should be refilled just before the start of each programme. If the dishes are heavily soiled, place additional detergent in the pre-wash detergent chamber.

Using combined detergents

• These products should be used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Never put combined detergents into the interior section or the cutlery basket.
• Combined detergents contain not only the detergent but also rinse-aid, salt replacement substances and additional components depending on the combination.
• We recommend you do not use combined detergents in short programmes. Please use powder detergents instead. If you encounter problems when using combined detergents, please contact the detergent manufacturer.
• When you stop using combined detergents, make sure that water hardness and rinse aid settings are set to the correct level.

Rinse-aid usage

• The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes without streaks and stains. Rinse-aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses. The rinse aid is automatically released during the hot rinse phase. If rinse aid dosage setting set too low, whitish stains remains on dishes and dishes do not dry and washed clean.
• If rinse aid dosage setting set too height, you can see bluish layers on glass and dishes.

Filling the rinse-aid and setting

To fill the rinse aid compartment, open the rinse-aid compartment cap. Fill the compartment with rinse aid to the MAX level and then close the cap. Be careful not to overfill the rinse aid compartment and wipe up any spills.

In order to change the rinse aid level, follow the below steps before turning on the machine:

• Push the programme button and hold it down.
• Turn the machine on.
• Hold down the programme button until "rA" disappears from the display. Rinse aid setting follows water hardness setting.
• The machine will display the last setting.
• Set the level by pushing the programme button.
• Switch off the machine to save the setting.
  The factory setting is "4".

If the dishes are not drying properly or are spotted, increase the level. If blue stains form on your dishes, decrease the level.
