Mode 1: Stand-alone installation mode

• Install the dishwasher on a flat and stable surface. Figure 5 shows the specific dimensions for this type of installation.
• If the dishwasher is installed in a corner, you should reserve at least 50 mm between the dishwasher and the adjacent wall to ensure that there is enough space to open and close the door, and it is recommended to reinforce it with wooden slats as shown in Figure 6.

CAUTION:

• Place the dishwasher on firm, level ground.
• Do not install the dishwasher on an elevated surface.

Mode 2: Flush-mounted installation mode

• Install the dishwasher on a flat and stable floor. Figure 7 shows the specific dimensions for this type of installation.

• Drill holes in the cabinet on both sides to allow passage of hoses and cables (approximately 100 mm x 76 mm), if necessary.

• The holes should be positioned as close as possible to the sink to facilitate the connection of the water inlet hose and drain hose.

• To ensure proper drainage, the installation position of the dishwasher should be no more than 1 meter away from the drainage system.
• Make any necessary height adjustments before positioning the dishwasher.

CAUTION:

• Exposed wood around this dishwasher should be sealed with waterproof paint or sealant to prevent expansion in case of contact with water.
• Place the dishwasher in the cabinet space and make sure the drain hose at the back of the dishwasher and in the cabinet are not kinked or crushed.
• Install the dishwasher in a flat place. Do not place anything between the floor and the dishwasher feet.
• Do not use the handle to pull or lift the dishwasher, to avoid damaging the door and hinges.
• Do not push the dishwasher door with your knees.

Before use

Water softener

This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which reduces water hardness. This system softens the water to a certain extent, allowing the dishes to be washed without mineral residues.

• If the water softener is not needed, it can be used without dishwasher salt, but the hardness level must be set to H0 so that the salt indicator does not stay on all the time.
• To achieve satisfactory washing results, this dishwasher requires soft water; otherwise, water spots will remain on dishes and inside the dishwasher.
• If the hardness of the tap water exceeds a certain level, it should be softened, i.e. decalcified, by adding dishwashing salt. The amount of salt required is set according to tap water hardness.

Check the water hardness

1. Check local water hardness. The water company can help verify this.
2. Set the dishwasher water softener level according to the water hardness level.

• If you are away for a long period of time during the hot season, close the water valve and disconnect the power cord, or turn off the circuit breaker, and clean the filter, inner tank and dispenser to prevent odors.
• If you are away for a long period of time during the cold season and there is a risk of freezing temperatures, take anti-cold measures for the water inlet hose and the dishwasher. These measures should be performed by qualified maintenance personnel.

External cleaning

In most cases, the dishwasher's external surface can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth or sponge, then dried with a soft cloth. If the dishwasher has a stainless steel housing, you can use a stainless steel specific cleaner.

CAUTION:

Any cooking oil splashed on the dishwasher's external surface should be cleaned immediately. Do not use cleaners that may contain alcohol, solvents, bleach, benzene, flammable liquids or abrasives to clean the external surface of this dishwasher to avoid discoloration or damage.

Internal Cleaning

• Regularly clean the dishwasher's internal surface with a soft, damp cloth or sponge to remove food particles and dirt.
• To remove white stains and odors inside the dishwasher, run the «Machine Care» program without dishes and detergent, put white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe container and place it in the upper basket. Vinegar, being an acid, can damage appliances if used frequently.

Cleaning the filter

1. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher and attach the lower spray arm.

2. Rotate the filter cup counterclockwise (as shown in Figure 39) and remove the filter assembly, which consists of the filter cup, wire mesh and microfilter. After removing the filter assembly, check and remove any foreign objects (if necessary).

3. Clean each filter with running water and a soft brush. Reassemble the filter assembly before reinstalling. Fig. 40

4. Reinstall the filter assembly and secure it by turning the filter cup clockwise until it clicks into place. Fig. 41

WARNING:

Be careful with sharp edges when cleaning the metal filters.

CAUTION:

Remove food debris from the filter to prevent foul-smelling bacteria and possible drainage problems.

Tips:

• Clean the filter after each load for best washing results. Food debris left in the filter may cause unpleasant odours.
• Clean the filter with a soft brush at least once a month.
• Clean the filter with non-abrasive materials and warm water.
• Ensure the filter is correctly assembled before starting the dishwasher. Turn firmly until a click is heard during assembly of the filter assembly.

Cleaning the spray arms

If the spray arm orifices are blocked by food debris, the dishes may not be cleaned properly due to inefficient water distribution. It is suggested to clean the spray arm every two weeks.

Cleaning the lower spray arm

1. Make sure that the holes in the spray arm are not blocked by food particles.
2. Remove any debris blocking the spray arm holes with a pin or any sharp tool. Fig. 42

Cleaning the central spray arm

1. Pull the upper basket forward to ensure that the holes in the spray arm are not blocked by food debris.
2. Before cleaning, turn the nut on the bottom of the spray arm counterclockwise and pull down to remove the center spray arm. Fig. 43
3. Remove food particles by rinsing or shaking the spray arm.
4. Remove food debris blocking the orifice of the spray arm with a pin or any sharp tool. Fig. 44
5. Clean the spray arm hole with water after removing food debris.
6. Reinstall the middle spray arm in its position after cleaning. Turn the nut clockwise to ensure that the nut locks the spray arm in its original position. Fig. 45
7. After assembly, check that the spray arm rotates freely.
