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 a salt container specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.
Adjusting salt consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjustment in the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimise and customise the level of salt consumption. Please follow the steps below for adjustment in salt consumption.
- Switch on the appliance;
- Press the program button for more than 5 seconds to open the water softener settings mode within 60 seconds after the appliance was switched on;
- Press the program button to select the correct setting according to your local environment. The settings will change in the following sequence: H1->H2->H3->H4->H5->H6;
- Press the On/Off button to confirm the setting and to end the setting mode.
Water hardness table

B --> C["Add salt using a salt can be added"]
C --> D["Add salt into a container with liquid"]
D --> E["Add salt into a container with a curved arrow"]
- Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.
- Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the container
- Fill the salt container to its maximum limit with dishwasher salt (about 1.5 kg). It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container.
- After filling the container, put back the cap (tighten firmly).
- The salt warning light will go off after the salt container has been filled with salt.
- Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing program should be started (we suggest to use a short program). Otherwise the filter system, pump or other important parts of the machine may be damaged by salty water. This 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 well the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be on even though the salt container is filled. If salt has spilled, run a soak or quick program to remove it.
Preparing and loading dishes
- Consider buying utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof.
- For particular items, select a program with the lowest possible temperature.
- To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately after the program has ended.
For washing the following cutlery/dishes are not suitable:
▶Cutlery with wooden, horn china or mother-of-pearl handles
▶Plastic items that are not heat resistant
▶ Older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature resistant
▶ Bonded cutlery items or dishes
▶Pewter or cooper items
▶Crystal glass
▶Steel items subject to rusting
▶Wooden platters
▶Items made from synthetic fibres
For washing the following cutlery/dishes are of limited suitability:
Some types of glasses can become dull after a large number of washes
Silver and aluminum parts have a tendency to discolour during washing
▶Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently
Recommendations for loading the dishwasher
Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water. For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines.

Features and appearance of baskets and cutlery baskets may vary, depending on your model.
- Place objects in the dishwasher in the following way:
Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are faced downwards.
▶ Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded aslant 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.
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, glasses should not touch one another.
The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups.
▶ 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.
▶ Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and for reasonable consumption of energy.

Note: Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the basket.
Loading the upper basket
The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups 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 will not get moved by the spray of water.

natural_image
Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with no visible text or symbolsLoading the lower basket
We suggest that you place large items and the most difficult to clean items into the lower basket: such as pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls. 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. The maximum diameter advised for plates in front of the detergent dispenser is of 19 cm, this not to hamper the opening of it.

natural_image

Removing the dishes
To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower basket, we recommend that you empty the lower basket first, followed by the upper basket.

Warning! Items will be hot! To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher for around 15 minutes after the program has ended.
Adjusting the height of the upper basket type 1 (depending on the model)
The height of the upper basket can be easily adjusted to accommodate taller dishes in either the upper or lower basket. To adjust the height of the upper basket, follow these steps:

text_image
raise upwards fold backwardsFunction of the rinse aid and dishwasher detergent
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to roll off the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids.

Warning! 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
- Unless the rinse-aid warning light on the control panel is on, you can always estimate the amount from the color of the optical level indicator located next to the cap.
- When the rinse-aid container is full, the indicator will be fully dark. The size of the dark dot decreases as the rinse-aid diminishes. You should never let the rinse aid level be less than 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 Empty
◎ ○
Function of the dishwasher detergent
The chemical ingredients that compose the detergent are necessary to remove, crush and dispense all dirt out of the dishwasher. Most of the commercial quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.

Warning! Proper use of the dishwasher detergent
- Use only detergent specifically made for dishwashers use.
- Keep your dishwasher detergent fresh and dry.
- Don't put powdered detergent into the dispenser until you are ready to wash dishes.
- Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children.

Caring for the dishwasher
Frost precaution
Please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in winter. Every time after a washing cycle, please operate as follows:
- Cut off the electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source.
- Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
- Drain the water from the inlet pipe and water valve (use a pan to gather the water).
- Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
- Remove the filter at the bottom of the dishwasher and use a sponge to soak up water in the sump.
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 longtime
- It is recommend 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 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.

| The door of the dishwasher is not closed properly. | Make sure the door is closed properly. | |
| The drainage pump does not shut off. | The water is running over. The system is designed so that it can automatically detect overflowing water. In that instance, the appliance shuts off the circulation pump and switches on the drainage pump. | |
| Noise. Some noises are normal. Noise of rotating pump/washing noises; the detergent compartment opening. | ||
Problem Potential causes Solution
| Contamination of the tub. | Poor quality detergent. Only use detergent suitable for dishwashers to prevent contamination. | ||
| Blocked filters. Open the door and clean the filters.Run the pre-wash cycle. | |||
| Rinse agent has been spilled. Always wipe up spilled rinse agent immediately. | |||
| Dishes are not dry. The rinse agent reservoir is empty. | Ensure that the rinse agent reservoir is filled. | ||
| Improper loading. Load the dishwasher as suggested in the manual. | |||
| The dishwasher is unloaded too soon. | Do not unload your dishwasher immediately after washing. Open the door slightly so the steam can come out. Wait for the inside temperature to be safe. Unload the lower basket first. | ||
| Incorrect cycle. A short program with low temperature can have worse washing and drying results compared to a longer program with a higher temperature. Select another wash cycle. | |||
| Dishes and flat objects are not clean. | Incorrect cycle. Select a higher cycle. | ||
| Baskets are incorrectly loaded. Make sure that the detergent compartment and spray arms are not obstructed by large dishes/pans. | |||
| Spotting and scaling on glasses and flat dishes. | Extremely hard water.Incoming water temperature is low. The dishwasher is overloaded.Baskets are incorrectly loaded.Old or damp detergent. Rinse agent reservoir is empty.Incorrect detergent dosage. | To remove spotting from glass objects: Remove all metal objects from the dishwasher. Use the prescribed quantity of detergent.Select the longest cycle. Allow the dishwasher to run for approximately 18 to 22 minutes. It should by then have reached the main wash cycle.Open the door carefully and pour 2 cups of white vinegar into the base. Close the door and allow the dishwasher to complete its cycle. If vinegar does not work: Repeat the above steps, but use a quarter cup (60 ml) of citric acid crystals in place of white vinegar. | |
Problem Potential causes Solution
| Cloudy stains on the glassware. | Combination of soft water and too much detergent. | Use less detergent and choose the glass cycle, which you can use to clean glassware. |
| Yellow or brown scale on the inside of the tub. | Traces of iron in the water may cause spotting to the tub of the dishwasher. | Contact a manufacturer of water softeners for a special filter. |
| White scale on the inside of the tub. | Hard water. Increase salt consumption setting. | |
| Dishwasher detergent is left in the detergent compartment. | The detergent compartment is blocked by dishes. | Load the baskets so that the dishes no longer block the detergent compartment. Clean the upper spray arm. |
| Steam. When opening the door. This is possible at the end of the cycle. | ||
| Black or grey stains on the dishes. | Aluminium cooking utensils have scraped the dishes. | Aluminium can tarnish. |
| Water remains under the filters. | This is normal. A small amount of water around the drain on the rear of the tub base keeps the seal flexible. | |
| The dishwasher is leaking. | Rinse agent reservoir too full or rinse agent is leaking. | Take care not to overfill the rinse agent reservoir. Spilled rinse agent can lead to foam/flooding. Wipe up spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth. |
| The dishwasher is not standing level. | Adjust the dishwasher so that it is standing level. | |
| Faults code E1. Water intake time is too long. Faucets is not opened, or water intake is restricted, or water pressure is too low. | ||
| Faults code E3. Not reaching required temperature. | Malfunction of heating element. | |
