3. INSTALLATION

• Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future reference. If you sell, give away or move the appliance, make sure to keep this manual with the appliance, so that the new owner can refer to it at any time.
• Please read this instruction manual carefully: it contains important information on the safe installation, use and maintenance of the appliance.
• If it is necessary to move the appliance at any time, keep it in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it can be tilted on its back.

Positioning and levelling

1. Remove the device from its packaging and check that it has not been damaged during transport. If it is damaged, please contact the official Cecotec Technical Support Service and do not continue with the installation process.
2. Check the dishwasher and position it so that its sides or rear panel are in contact with adjacent cabinets or even the wall. This appliance can also be installed under a single worktop.
3. Place the dishwasher on a level and sturdy floor. If the floor is uneven, the front legs of the appliance can be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position (the angle of inclination should not exceed 2 degrees). If the appliance is correctly levelled, it will be more stable and much less likely to move or cause vibration and noise during operation.

Connecting water and electricity supplies

• The connection of the water and electricity supplies must only be carried out by a qualified technician.
• The dishwasher must not be placed on top of the water hoses or the power supply cable.
• The appliance must be connected to the water supply network by means of new pipes. Do not use old hoses.

ENGLISHENGLISH

Connecting the water inlet hose. Fig. 3

• Connect the cold-water supply hose to a 3/4 inch/19 mm threaded connector and make sure it is securely in place.
  If the water pipes are new or have not been used for a long period of time, let the water run to ensure that it is clean and free of impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk that the water inlet will be blocked, and the appliance will be damaged.

Connecting the drain hose. Fig. 4

Insert the drain hose into a drainpipe. When the hose is attached, the height of the outlet is between 0.5-1 metre.

Note

• Please note that the drain hose cannot be disconnected, so the outlet must be fixed and as close as possible to the dishwasher. The drain hose must be at a maximum distance of 1\~1.5 metres from the dishwasher.
  In case the distance is longer, this will affect the draining process of the dishwasher, causing too much wastewater to accumulate in the hose, thus affecting the performance of the dishwasher.

Electrical connections

• Before plugging the appliance into the mains, make sure that:
• The plug is earthed and complies with current regulations.
• The socket can withstand the maximum load of the appliance, which is indicated on the rating plate on the inside of the door (see description of the appliance).
• The supply voltage is within the values indicated on the rating plate inside the door.
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If not, have the plug replaced by an authorised technician. Do not use an extension cord or multiple sockets.
• Once the appliance has been installed, the power cable and the power socket must be easily accessible.
• The cable must not be bent or compressed.
• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or the official Cecotec Technical Support Service to avoid any potential risk.
• Cecotec will not be held responsible for any incidents that occur if these rules are not followed.

Advice regarding the first wash cycle

Once the appliance has been installed, just before starting the first wash cycle, fill the rinse aid dispenser completely and add, approximately, 2.0 kg of salt (see below for details on how). Water may overflow: this is normal and not a cause for concern.
- It is also normal for the LOW SALT indicator light to keep flashing for a few cycles after the salt has been loaded.

Positioning the appliance

Position the appliance in the desired location. The back of the dishwasher must rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, in the cabinets or adjacent walls. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain hoses which can be positioned on the right or left for easy installation.

Levelling the device

Once the appliance has been positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them in or out) to adjust the height of the dishwasher and level it. In any case, the appliance must not be tilted by more than 2^ .

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

How to drain excess water from hoses

If the outside drain hose is higher than the lowest point of the dishwasher, it is possible that the wastewater cannot be completely discharged through the drain pump, so it is necessary to remove the hose and place it horizontally on the floor in order to discharge the water from the hose into a container.

Water outlet

Install the drain hose. The drain hose must be correctly placed to prevent water leakage. Make sure the water inlet hose is not twisted or crushed.

Syphon installation

The connection must be between 50 cm (minimum) and 110 cm (maximum) above the bottom of the dishwasher. The drain hose must be secured with a hose clamp.

4. BEFORE USING THE DISHWASHER

Before switching on the appliance, check:

1. If the dishwasher is level and fixed.
2. If the inlet valve is open.
3. If there are leaks in the conductor connections.
4. If the cables are properly connected.
5. If the power is on.
6. If the inlet and drain hoses are screwed on.
7. If all packaging material and printed material have been removed from the dishwasher.

Then, before using the dishwasher for the first time:

A. Set the water softener.
B. Pour 500 ml of water into the salt dispenser and then fill it with dishwashing salt.
c. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
D. Set the detergent.

ENGLISHENGLISH

A. Setting 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 operation of the appliance. The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the harder the water is. The amount of water softener must be adjusted according to the water hardness in your region.

Settings

1. The amount of salt dispensed can be set from H0 to H7. Salt need not be added if the value is H0.
2. Find out about the hardness value of your tap water. Your local water company will provide you with this information.
3. The pre-set value can be found in the water hardness table.
4. Close the dishwasher door.
5. Press the power icon.
6. Press and hold the Delay icon and then press the Programme icon for 5 seconds. The appliance beeps and H flashes on the display (the factory setting is H4).
7. To change the setting, press the Delay icon. Each time the icon is pressed, the set value increases by one level. When the H7 level is reached, the display goes back to H0 (off). Press the Programme icon to save the settings.

Every cycle with a regeneration operation consumes additional 2.0 litres of water; the energy consumption increases by 0.001 kWh/Wt

39-62	Hard	5.5-8.9	H7	1

B. Adding salt into the water softener

• Water hardness varies from one place to another. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, limescale deposits will form on the dishes and cutlery.
  The appliance is equipped with a special water softener that uses salts specifically designed to remove limescale and minerals from the water.

Note

Only use salt special for dishwashers. Any other type of salt not specifically designed for dishwasher use, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. In case of damage caused by the use of unsuitable salt. Cecotec does not give any guarantee and is not liable for any damage caused.
- Only add salt just before starting one of the full washing programmes. This will prevent salt grains or salt water, which may have spilled, from remaining in the bottom of the machine for a certain period of time, which could cause corrosion.

A. The salt dispenser is located under the lower basket and must be filled as follows and as shown in figure 5;
B. Remove the lower basket and, next, unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container.
C. If it is the first time you fill the dispenser, first add about 500 ml of water.
D. Place the end of a funnel into the hole and introduce about 2 kg of dishwasher salt. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt dispenser.
E. Carefully screw the cap back on.
E. Normally, the low salt warning light will go out 2-6 days after the salt dispenser has been filled with salt.

Notes

• The salt dispenser must be refilled when the low salt warning light on the control panel illuminates. Even if the salt dispenser is sufficiently full, the indicator light may not go out before the salt is completely dissolved.
  If the low salt warning light on the control panel does not light up, you can estimate when to fill the salt dispenser by the cycles the dishwasher has run.
• If salt residues are present, you can run a soaking programme to remove them.

Warning

If you do not add salt, the tableware will not be cleaned properly and limescale will form.

C. Filling the rinse aid dispenser. Fig. 6.

Warning!

Only use rinse aids for dishwashers. Never refill the rinse aid dispenser with other substances (e.g., dishwasher detergent, liquid detergent). This could damage the dishwasher.

ENGLISHENGLISH

1. To open the dispenser, turn the cap towards the open arrow (left) and lift it up.
2. Pour the rinse aid in the dispenser, careful not to pour too much.
3. Replace the cap by aligning it with the "open" arrow and turning it towards the "close" arrow (right).

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 colour of the optical level indicator "0" next to the cap. When the dispenser is full, the indicator will darken completely. As the rinse aid diminishes, the light fades too. Never let the rinse aid level fall below 14 of its capacity.
• As the rinse aid is used, the size of the black dot in the rinse aid level indicator will change as shown in figure 7.
• Rinse aid is released during the last rinse to prevent water droplets from forming on the dishes, which can leave stains and marks. It also facilitates drying as it allows water to slide through the dishes. This dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids.
• The rinse aid dispenser is inside the dishwasher door, next to the detergent dispenser.
• Be careful not to overfill the dispenser too much, as this may cause sudsing.
• Do not forget to replace the cap before closing the dishwasher door.

Warning!

Clean the spilled rinse aid with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.

Adjusting the rinse aid dispenser

• Always start with the dispenser set on 4 position. If this results in stains and poor drying, increase the amount of rinse aid dosed. To do so, remove the dispenser lid and turn the knob to the 5 position.
• If the dishes still are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the knob to the next higher number until your dishes are spot-free. The dose is factory set in position 5.

Please note

Reduce the rinse aid level if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes or a bluish layer on glassware or knife blades.

D. Detergent

Detergents are necessary to remove the dirt and expel it out of the dishwasher.

Concentrated detergent

Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be split in two basic types: - Conventional alkaline detergents with caustic components.
- Low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes

• The use of the Eco programme, together with the use of concentrated detergents, reduces pollution and it is good for your dishes. This washing programme is specifically adapted to the soil dissolving properties of the enzymes in the detergent concentrate.
• For this reason, the Eco programme, in which concentrated detergents are used, can achieve the same results that can otherwise only be achieved using the intensive programme.

Detergent tablets

• Detergent tablets of different brands are dissolved at different speeds. For this reason, some detergent tablets cannot be dissolved and use their full cleaning power during short programmes.
• It is recommended that you use long programmes when using detergent tablets to ensure complete dissolution of detergent residues.

Detergent dispenser

• The dispenser must be refilled before each washing cycle following the instructions provided in the Wash cycle table. Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid than conventional dishwashers.
• Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. If the tableware is dirtier, you will need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher; otherwise, it could get clamp and would not dissolve properly.

Amount of detergent to use

Please note

1. If the lid is closed, press the open button to open it. The door opens.

2. Always add the detergent just before starting each washing cycle. Only use detergents for washing machines.

Warning

• Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Be careful to keep it out of the reach children. If the washing powder is not added, the washing effect will be poor, resulting in increased water and electricity consumption.
• Only use detergent aid for dishwashers. Store the detergent in a dry and cool place. Do not fill the dispenser with powder detergent until it is ready to wash the dishes.

Refilling the detergent. Fig. 8

Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. The marks indicate the dosing levels, as shown below:

1. Detergent place in the main washing cycle. MIN equals to approximately 20 g of detergent. Fig. 9
2. Detergent place in pre-washing cycle. Equals to approximately 5 g of detergent. Fig. 9

ENGLISHENGLISH

• Follow the manufacturer's dosage and storage recommendations on the detergent packaging.
• Close the lid until it locks in place.
• If the dishes are heavily soiled, add an extra dosage of detergent in the pre-wash detergent dispenser. This detergent will be used during the pre-wash phase.

Use of 3 in 1 detergent tablets

1. Before using these products, you should first check that the supplied water hardness is compatible with the use of this type of detergents according to the manufacturer's instructions.
2. These products must be used strictly according to the detergent manufacturer's instructions.
3. If you experience problems when using the 3-in-1 products for the first time, please contact the customer service of the detergent manufacturer (the telephone number is on the detergent packaging). These products are detergents with integrated and combined detergent, rinse aid and salt functions.
4. When combined products are used, the rinse aid and salt indicators stop working. It may be useful to select the lowest possible setting for water hardness.

Selecting the 3 in 1 function

1. Press the power icon and activate the 3in1 washing cycle by pressing the ALT icon until the 3in1 indicator flashes.
2. The 3 in 1 washing cycle will be activated after pressing the start/pause icon The 3in1 indicator light will light up.

Cancelling the 3 in 1 function

Follow the instructions in "Cancelling an ongoing programme". If you wish to switch to the use of a standard detergent system, it is recommended that:

1. Refill both the salt and rinse aid dispensers.

2. Set the water hardness setting to the highest possible position and run the appliance for three Eco cycles without load.

3. Readjust the water hardness according to the conditions in your region (for more information, please refer to the instruction manual).

Please note

Note: the 3 in 1 wash cycle is an additional function and must be used in conjunction with another wash programme (Intensive, Eco or Light).

Using the "Automatic door opening" function

• In the models with automatic door opening function, at the end of each programme, except in the Pre-wash and Eco programmes, the door opens automatically.
• In the ECO wash programme, the door opens automatically during the drying phase.

Cancelling the "Automatic door opening" function

• You can disable the default automatic door opening function by pressing and holding the Programme and ALT icons at the same time while the appliance is on, until the word UP appears on the display.
• After displaying the message for 6 seconds, the display will return to the default time display. To restore the default automatic door opening function, press and hold the Programme and ALT icons at the same time until the word OP appears on the display.
• The display will return to the default time display after displaying the message for 6 seconds. The rinse temperature will increase in the ECO programme after removing the default automatic door opening function.

5. LOADING THE DISHWASHER

• For best dishwasher performance, follow these loading guidelines. The characteristics and appearance of the cutlery baskets may vary depending on the model.
• Remove any leftover food. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water.

Place the dishes and cutlery in the dishwasher as follows:

1. Items like mugs, cups, pans/pots, etc. must face downwards.

2. Curved items or with holes should be loaded at an incline to allow water to drain out.

3. All items must be stacked securely and in such a way that they cannot tip over.

4. Position the items in such a way that they do not prevent the spray arms from rotating during washing.

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

6. Dishes and cutlery should not be placed inside each other or cover each other.

7. To avoid damage in glasses, they must not touch each other

8. Place large objects which are more difficult to clean in the lower basket.

9. The upper basket is designed to place the most delicate and light tableware. like cups, coffee, and teacups.

ENGLISHENGLISH

Warning!

- Long-bladed knives placed in an upright position are a potential hazard.

- Long and/or sharp cutlery pieces, such as carving knives, must be placed in a horizontal position in the cutlery tray.

Warning

If tableware placement is not adequate, the washing result will be poor.

Removing the dishes

To prevent water from dripping from the upper basket to the lower basket, it is recommended to unload the lower basket first and then the upper basket.

Loading the upper basket

- The upper basket is designed to place the most delicate and light tableware, like glasses, mugs, and saucers, as well as dishes, small bowls, and shallow pans (as long as they are not too soiled).

- Place the tableware and kitchenware so it does not move because of the water spray.

Adjusting the upper basket. Fig. 11

- If required, the height of the upper basket can be adjusted to create more space in the upper or lower basket, and then put large utensils. The upper basket height can be adjusted by placing its wheels on the different heights of the rails.

- Long objects, serving utensils, salad servers or knives should be placed on the shelf in such a way that they do not obstruct the rotation of the spray arms.

- The shelf can be folded back or removed when not in use.

Loading the lower basket

- It is recommended to place big and difficult to wash items in the lower basket, like pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in fig. 12.

• It is advisable to place platters and lids on the sides of the baskets, so they do not block the rotation of the upper spray arm.
• Pans, dishes, etc. should always be placed with the top side down. Deep pots should be slanted to allow water to flow out.
• The lower basket has rows of hinged rods to accommodate larger pots and pans.

• When loading the dishwasher, it is essential to bear in mind that not all cookware is suitable for this process.
  The following is general advice: however, it is always crucial to check whether the utensil you plan to wash is dishwasher safe, otherwise it may be damaged.

Not dishwasher safe.

• Cutlery with wooden, horn porcelain or mother of pearl handles
• Plastic objects which are not heatproof.
• Old cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature resistant.
• Cutlery or plates stuck with glue or paste.
• Tin or copper cutlery or tableware.
• Lead crystal glass.
• Steel items that could rust.
• Wooden trays.
• Articles made of synthetic fibre.

The following objects are of limited suitability

Some types of glass can lose their brightness after a great amount of dishwasher washing cycles.
- Silver and aluminium pieces tend to discolour during dishwasher washing.
- Enamelled pieces may fade if they are washed frequently in the dishwasher.

Note

• Do not insert objects that are soiled with cigarette ash, candle wax, lacquer or paint. If you buy new dishes, please make sure that it is dishwasher safe.
  Do not overload the dishwasher. There is only space for 15 pieces of cutlery. Do not use dishes that are not dishwasher safe. This is important to get better results and a reasonable energy consumption.

At the end of the wash

- Once the washing cycle has finished, the dishwasher will beep 6 times and then will stop. Switch off the appliance by pressing the power icon, close the water supply and open the dishwasher door.

An ongoing cycle can only be modified if it has been running for a short time. Otherwise, the detergent may have already been released and the machine has already drained the wash water. In this case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled (see section 'Refilling detergent').

1. Press the power icon to cancel the programme.
2. Switch on the dishwasher again and restart a new washing cycle (see section "Starting a washing cycle") or press the programme icon to change the programme.

Note

If you open the door during the washing cycle, the appliance will stop and beep. Moreover, the display will show E1 and flash. After closing the door, the appliance will continue to operate after 10 seconds.

Introducing tableware during the cycle

You can add tableware at any time before the detergent dispenser is activated.

1. Open the door slightly to stop the dishwasher.
2. When the spray arms have stopped, you can open it completely. Open the door carefully. When opening the door, steam may come out.
3. Add the tableware you forgot.
4. Close the door and the dishwasher will start after ten seconds.

Warning!

It is dangerous to open the door while washing, as hot water can cause burns.

Switching off the dishwasher

The digital display shows “---”; only in this case the programme is finished.
1. Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the power icon.
2. Close the water supply.

Unloading the dishwasher

• Hot dishes are sensitive to shocks. Therefore, you should let the dishes cool down for 15 minutes before removing them from the appliance.
• Open the dishwasher door, leave it ajar and wait some minutes before removing the dishes. This will make them cooler and facilitate the drying process.
• It is normal for the dishwasher to be damp inside.
• First empty the lower basket and then the upper one. This will prevent water from the upper basket from dripping onto the dishes in the lower basket.

7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Filtering system

• The filter is used to prevent large debris and other debris from entering the pump. Debris can clog the filter at any time.
• The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat filter (main filter) and a microfilter (fine filter). Fig. 15

1. Flat filter

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

2. Coarse filter

• Large debris, such as bones and glass, which could clog the drain, will be trapped in the coarse filter.
• To remove an object caught in this filter, gently squeeze the tabs above this filter and lift it out.

3. Microfilter

This filter retains dirt and food debris in the drain area and prevents it from being deposited back into the dishes during a cycle.
- Check the filters for blockages every time the dishwasher is used.
- The filter system can be removed by unscrewing the coarse filter. Remove food debris and clean the filters under running water.

Removing the filtering system Fig. 16

• Step 1: counterrotate the coarse filter and then lift it up.
• Step 2: lift the flat filter.

Note

• To assemble the filtering system, follow the process in reverse.
• For best performance and results, it is necessary to clean the filtering system. The filter effectively removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to recirculate during the cycle.
• For this reason, it is advisable to remove larger food particles trapped in the filter after each wash cycle. Rinse the semi-circular filter under the tap. To remove all filters, pull the filter handle upwards.
• Filters should be cleaned at least once a week. To clean the coarse filter and the microfilter, use a soft cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter parts as shown in the figures 15 and 16 and put the whole assembly back into the dishwasher.
• Put the filter assembly in place and press down. Never use the dishwasher without the filters installed.

ENGLISHENGLISH

- Incorrect filter replacement may adversely affect the performance of the appliance and damage tableware and utensils.

Warning!

Never use the dishwasher without the filters installed. Be careful not to damage them when cleaning.

Otherwise, the filters may become deformed, which may affect the performance of the dishwasher.

Cleaning the spray arms

The arms accumulate chemical products, so it is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly, as the chemicals in the hard water clog the nozzles and spray arm bearings.

- To remove the spray arms, unscrew the nut clockwise to remove the washer on the top of the spray arm and remove the arm.

- Clean the arms with soap and warm water and use a soft brush to clean the holes. Place them back after rinsing them thoroughly.

Care of the dishwasher

- To clean the control panel, use a slightly damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly.

- To clean the exterior, you can use a polishing wax specifically for household appliances. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or aggressive cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

Protection against freezing

If you leave your dishwasher in an unheated place during the winter, have a service technician:

1. Switch off the power supply to the dishwasher.

2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet tube from the valve.

3. Drain the water from the inlet tube and water valve (use a container to catch the water).

4. Reconnect the water inlet tube to the valve.

5. Remove the filter from the bottom of the dishwasher and use a sponge to absorb the water on the drain.

Cleaning the door

- To clean the edge around the door, just use a soft, warm, damp cloth. To avoid water from entering the door gasket and the electric components, do not use any type of spray cleaning agent.

- Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on exterior surfaces because they can scratch the finish. Some kitchen papers may also scratch or leave marks on the surface.

- Follow these steps when there are foreign materials in the dishwasher.

Warning!

- Never use a spray cleaner to clean the control panel, as this may damage the door opening and closing system and electrical components.

- The use of abrasive products or rougher kitchen paper is not recommended, as they could scratch or leave stains on the stainless-steel surface.

Keeping your dishwasher in good condition

After every wash

After every wash, close the device water supply and leave the door slightly open for some minutes so moisture and odours are not trapped in the interior.

Unplug the appliance

- Always remove the mains plug from the socket before cleaning or performing any maintenance. Do not take risks.

- Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning agents.

- Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners to clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher. Only use a cloth with lukewarm water and neutral soap.

- To remove stains from the interior surface, use a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar, or a cleaning product specifically for dishwashers.

When going on holiday

- When going on holiday, it is recommended to run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then unplug it from the power socket. Turn off the water supply and leave the door slightly ajar.

- This will help preserve the door gaskets for more time and will prevent odours forming inside the device.

Moving the appliance

If you want to move the device, try to do so in an upright position. If it is absolutely necessary, you can place it backwards.

Gaskets

One of the factors that cause odours to form in the dishwasher is food trapped in the gaskets. Regular cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from happening.

Note

The installation of tubes and electrical equipment must be carried out by professionals.

Warning

Danger of electric shock. Disconnect the power supply before installing the dishwasher. Failure to do so can result in death or electric shock.
