Installation

Note:

The dishwasher is equipped with power cord and plug. Before installation, make sure that a suitable wall outlet is available at the desired place of installation.

Consider the dimension of the product for placing and installation.

Fig. 1 Place the dishwasher on an even, horizontal and steady surface. Ensure, that the appliance is placed horizontally and is not tilted.

Note:

The dishwasher can be built in beneath a worktop.

Fig. 2 The dishwasher must be connected to a drainpipe.

• The hose is already connected to the waste water outlet. Cut the straps and unwind the hose.
• Connect the end to a drainpipe (Option A or B). Be aware of the max. height of the outlet of drainage hose. Ensure, that the hose is properly connected and sealed.

Note:

A suitable hose holder is available as optional accessories.

Fig. 3 Connect the water inlet to a tap water supply (3 / 4^ ) using the pre-assembled hose and make sure it is fastened tightly.

Note:

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 might get blocked and damage the appliance.

Fig.4 Connect the power plug to the mains.

Note:

Before using the product for the first time, make sure, that all hydrophilic connections of the product are correctly sealed and connected to both the device as well as the water mains. Check all connections periodically to avoid possible leakage.

Installation beneath a worktop

If you want to place the dishwasher beneath a worktop, you can remove the upper cover plate. To do this, remove the two screws from the cover plate on the back of the dishwasher and remove the cover plate. The dishwasher height of 815mm now meets the standard height for built-in dishwashers.

Warning! Screw the two screws back into the corresponding holes.

Preparation

Filling salt into the salt container

Fig. 5 Depending on your tap water hardness (hardness degree) use additional salt (water softener). Always consider the instructions provided with the salt.

• Remove the basket and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container.
• Before first usage, add 1.5 lt. of water in the salt container of your machine.
• Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and pour in about 1.5kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container.

English

After filling the container, screw the cap tightly back on in clockwise direction.
- Immediately after filling salt into the salt container, a washing program must be started (rapid program suggested). Otherwise filter system, pump or other important parts of the machine may be damaged by salty water which would void the warranty.

Note:

Depending on how fully the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be on even though the salt container is filled.

Warning

• 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 he liable for any caused damages.
• If there are spills of the salt, a soak or a rapid program should be run to remove the excess salt.
• Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programs. This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilt, remaining at the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
• The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light in the control panel comes on.

Adding detergent

Fig. 7 The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle.

For the correct amount follow the instructions provided with the detergent.

• Press the release button. The lid springs open.
  Always add the detergent just before starting each wash cycle, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.
• If the dishes are heavily soiled, place an additional detergent dose in the pre-wash detergent chamber. This detergent will take effect during the pre-wash phase.

Consider the difference of the two compartments:

a) Compartment for detergent for the main wash cycle.

b) Compartment for detergent for the pre-wash cycle.

• Close and press the lid until it locks in place.

Note:

Only use detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry.

Fill rinse aid dispenser

Cleaning and care

Warning

• When cleaning, never use solvents or abrasive materials, hard brushes, metallic or sharp objects. Solvents are harmful to human health and can attack plastic parts, while abrasive cleaning mechanisms and tools may scratch the surface(s).
• Clean the exterior surfaces of the product with a slightly damp cloth and dry them well. Make sure that no water enters the product interior (e.g. at the switches).
• Clean the edge around the door using a soft, warm and damp cloth only. To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.

Cleaning the filter cartridge

The filter prevents larger remnants of food or other objects from getting inside the pump. Inspect the filters for blockage every time the dishwasher has been used and clean it on a regular basis.

Fig.13 The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (main filter) and a micro filter (fine filter).

• Main filter A: Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the spray arm and washed down the drain.
• Fine filter B: This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being spread over the dishes during the washing.
• Coarse filter C: Larger items, such as pieces of bones or glass that could block the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove the items caught by the filter, gently squeeze the tap on the top of this filter and lift it up.

Disassemble and clean the filter according to the following steps:

• Turn the filter cap (filter C) counterclockwise and take out the whole filter cartridge.
  Take out filters B and C.
• Wash filters under running water and remove any residues or objects.
• Reassembling is done in reverse order. Make sure the filter cartridge is installed correctly.

Warning

Do not use the dishwasher without the filter system being properly installed.

Cleaning the spray arms

Fig. 14 The spray arms can be easily removed for periodic cleaning of the nozzles (approximately once per month). This prevents possible clogging.

• Grasp the middle of the spray arm, pull it upwards to remove it.
• Wash the arms under a jet of running water.
• Return them carefully to their seat and make sure that the spray arms are installed correctly and can turn freely.

Dscaling

Descending is not necessary if the detergent is dosed correctly. If you want to descale the drum, proceed according to the descending agent manufacturer's instructions. You can obtain suitable descending agents from retailers.

Notes concerning the energy- and water consumption of the dishwasher

The eco program is suitable for cleaning normally soiled dishes. It is the most efficient program for this purpose in terms of combined energy and water consumption and is used to assess compliance with the EU ecodesign legislation.
- By loading the domestic dishwasher up to the capacity specified by the manufacturer, energy and water can be saved. Arrange the dishes correctly as described in the loading plans in these instructions. Improper loading causes inefficient dish-washing and possibly malfunctions.
- Manual pre-washing of the dishes leads to higher water and energy consumption and is not recommended.
- Washing dishes in a household dishwasher generally uses less energy and water than washing by hand, provided the household dishwasher is used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
- Values for the program duration as well as the energy and water consumption of all programs that include an operating cycle can be found in the corresponding tables in these instructions.
- Observe the information on proper installation (including horizontal alignment, connection to the power supply, cold water connections) in these instructions.
- Use of cleaning agents, salt and other additives must be carried out properly. Incorrect dosage leads to increased environmental pollution and possibly damage to the device.
- Before each use, remove all foreign objects from the household dishwasher.
- Regular cleaning and compliance with the optimal cleaning intervals and measures to prevent limescale deposits, are important. Please refer to the chapter on Cleaning and care.
- Regular control of the filters and the optimal cleaning intervals are important. Please refer to the chapter on Cleaning and care.
