INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!

• Entrust the dishwasher connections for power supply and water supply to qualified professionals.
  • The appliance must not stand on the supply or drain hose or on the electrical power cable.
• The dishwasher must be connected to a water supply with a new set of hoses. Do not use an old supply hose.

Placement of the dishwasher

• Before installation, unpack the dishwasher and dispose of all packaging according to label instructions, and make sure that there is no damage caused by transportation. If you find any damage, stop the installation immediately and contact your vendor.
• When choosing a place for the dishwasher, make sure that you can load and unload dishes easily.
• Place the dishwasher close to water supply and drain.
• To facilitate the installation, the supply and drain hoses may be connected from left and right sides.
• When moving the dishwasher, do not lift it holding the door or the front panel.
• The dishwasher can also be inserted under your kitchen counter. Be careful when inserting the dishwasher in place that you do not squeeze the supply and drain hoses. Make sure that the dishwasher is not standing on the power cable.
• Place the dishwasher on a flat hard floor. Using the front adjustable feet, level the dishwasher horizontally. The tilt of the dishwasher should no exceed 2°. The level horizontal position ensures greater stability, prevents movement of the appliance and limits vibration and noise. Correct positioning of the dishwasher will also make the opening and closing of the door easier.
• If the dishwasher door does not close correctly, make sure the dishwasher is stable and level and if necessary adjust the level using the adjustable levelling feet.

Note: The maximum height of the adjustable feet is 20 mm.

Connecting the water supply hose

1. The water pressure must be in range 0,04 up to 1,0, MPA. If the water pressure is lower, contact a technician.
2. Make sure that the supply hose is not bent or twisted.
3. If the water pipes are new or have not been used for a long time, have at first flow out enough water until completely clean water comes out.
4. Attach the hose to the water supply with 3/4 inch thread and tighten fittings.
5. Check the tightness of the connection.
6. Open the water supply tap fully before using the dishwasher.

English

Connecting the drain hose

Connect the drain hose to the drain pipe and make sure that the hose does not bend or twist. If the drain hose is too short, contact an authorized service center to request a longer hose of the same material. Keep in mind that the hose must not be even with an extension longer than 4 meters. A longer drain hose would prevent proper functioning of the dishwasher. Attach the hose firmly to the drain pipe so that it will not loosen during the operation of the dishwasher.

Connecting to the sink siphon

The waste connection must be placed at a height of between 50 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) above the bottom of the

dishwasher. The drain hose should be attached by a clamp. The free end of the hose must not be submerged in water.

Power connection

Before connecting the plug of the power cord into an electrical outlet, check the following:

• The outlet is grounded and complies with current standards.
- The outlet is suitable for the maximum power of the appliance, which is indicated on the rating plate on the inside of the door.
- The outlet voltage corresponds to the one on rating plate of the appliance.
- The type of outlet matches the type of plug of the power cord of the appliance. Otherwise, ask an authorized technician to replace the improper outlet. Do not use extension cords or power strips to connect the dishwasher.

Starting the dishwasher

Before starting the dishwasher, you need to check the following items.

1. The dishwasher stands straight and firm.
2. The intake valve is open.
3. Hose connections do not leak water.
4. The power cable is properly connected.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before first use

Before first operation:

1. Adjust the water hardness, see chapter below.
2. Pour 500ml of water into the salt dispenser and fill it with dishwasher salt.
3. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
4. Fill the detergent dispenser.

Setting the salt consumption

The dishwasher allows to regulate the consumption of salt depending on the hardness of the water used. Thus can be the salt consumption optimized and regulated. When regulating the salt consumption, proceed as follows:

Salt dispenser can be set from H0 to H7, when setting is H0, the salt is not dispensed.

Determine the hardness of your water (this information can be obtained from your water supplier), and set the dose according to water hardness table:

1. Close the door.
2. Turn on the dishwasher using the button "Power".
3. Hold the button "Delay" and then press for 5 seconds the button "Program". An acoustic signal sounds and the display flashes H (factory setting is H4).
4. Press the button "Delay" to change the setting. The value of the dose increases by 1 level with each pressing of the "Delay" button. After reaching H7, it jumps with next pressing of the "Delay" button to H0 (dispensing is off).
5. Press the button "Program". The setting is saved in the memory of the appliance.

Water hardness table

Water hardness		mmol/l Set value
°Clark Hardness
0–8 soft 0-1.1 H0
9–10 soft 1.2-1.4 H1
11–12 medium 1.5-1.8 H2
13–15 medium 1.9-2.1 H3
16–20 medium 2.2-2.9 H4
21–26	hard	3.0-3.7 H5
27–38	hard	3.8-5.4 H6
39–62	hard	5.5-8.9 H7

Note:

• The water hardness can vary in each area.
• If hard water would be used, deposits would form on the dishes and cutlery.
- The appliance is equipped with a special water softener using salt dispenser designed to remove calcium and other minerals from the water.

Addition of salt to water softener

The salt dispenser is located under the bottom basket. Fill it according to the following description:

- Use only salt designed for dishwashers! Other types of salts, which are not intended for dishwashers, for example kitchen salt could damage the dishwasher. In case of damage caused by use of improper salt the manufacturer does not keep warranty and is not responsible for any damage.

- Replenish salt just before starting one of the complete washing programs. You will prevent corrosion due to left over salt crystals or overflowed solution on the bottom of the dishwasher.

A. Remove the bottom basket and then unscrew and remove the lid of the salt container 1.
B. When filling the container for the first time, fill it up to 2/3 volume with water (about 500 ml) 2.
C. Insert a funnel (not included) into the opening of the dispenser and pour into it about 2kg of salt. A small amount of water usually overflows from the dispenser.
D. Screw the lid back properly after filling the dispenser.
E. Usually within 2–6 days after filling the salt container the salt indicator light goes off.

Note:

1. Salt should be added when on the control panel the salt indicator lights up. Before the salt fully dissolves, the salt indicator is lit even after the salt has been replenished.
2. If you spill salt around the container, start the soaking / rinsing program, which removes salt.

Filling the rinse aid dispenser

The rinse aid function

Rinse aid is automatically dispensed for the final polishing process and prevents spotting and streaking upon drying.

WARNING

Use only brand name rinse aids for the dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher detergent, liquid detergent). The dishwasher could be damaged.

When to replenish the rinse aid dispenser

When the rinse aid content decreases, the extent of indicator's dark parts changes as shown in the picture.

1. Open the dispenser by turning the cap to the arrow "open" (left) and remove the lid.
2. Pour in the rinse aid carefully so it does not overflow.
3. Put the lid back on, flush with the arrow "open", and close it by turning right towards "closed".

The rinse aid is released during the final phase of the program during polishing. This prevents forming drops on the dishes, which would leave them with stains and smudges. Also, it speeds drying and water draining from the dishes.

Liquid rinse aid is used in your dishwasher. The rinse aid dispenser is located in the door next to the detergent dispenser. When filling the dispenser remove the lid and pour rinse aid into it until indicator of rinse aid goes completely dark. The volume of the rinse aid dispenser is 140 ml.

Be careful to avoid overfilling the dispenser – residues of rinse aid cause foaming. Wipe off the leaked residue with cloth. Before closing the door, remember to put back the lid of the dispenser.

WARNING

Wipe with absorbent cloth the rinse aid spilled during replenishing, to prevent excessive foaming during the next wash.

Setting the rinse aid dispenser

Rinse aid dispenser allows six setting positions. For the first time wash set the control to "4". If you encounter difficulties with bad drying and spots, increase the rinse aid dosage by removing the lid dispensers and set the control to "5". If the dishes still are not drying well and bear noticeable stains, set the control to the next higher value, until spots stop forming. The manufacturer's setting is 5.

Note:

- If after washing are on the dishes drops of water or chalky stains, increase the rinse aid dosage. If there appears on the dishes white, sticky spots or on the knives and glass bluish coating, reduce the rinse aid dosage.

Detergent function

The detergent contains chemicals necessary to dissolve and remove dirt from dishes and wash them out of the dishwasher. For these purposes are suitable most of the quality generally available detergents.

Concentrated detergent

According to their chemical composition, detergents can be split into two basic groups:

• Conventional alkaline agents with caustic components
- Weak alkaline concentrated agents with natural enzymes

Using the washing program "Eco" together with the concentrated detergent reduces environmental pollution and is optimal for your dishes. These washing programs are specially adapted to the enzyme's ability to dissolve

dirt. For this reason can the "Eco" wash program using concentrated detergent achieve the same results, which would otherwise only be achieved using the "intensive" program.

Detergent tablets

Detergents in tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason, some tablets during short programs are not completely dissolved and do not release all cleaning agents. Therefore use the detergents in tablets only for long programs to dissolve all the contained chemicals.

Detergent dispenser

The detergent must be added before each wash as described in the instruction in the program table. This dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid than conventional dishwashers. The normal dose of detergent is only one tablespoon for one wash of normal load of dishes. More dirty dishes require a higher dose of detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could become moist and hard to dissolve.

Used amount of detergent

Line drawing of a hand pressing down on a device with a tool and circular button (no text or symbols)

Note:

• When the lid is closed: push the open button. The lid opens.
• Add detergent just before washing. Use only brand name detergents designed for dishwashers.

WARNING

Detergents are aggressive substances! Keep carefully away from children.

Proper use of detergent

Use only detergents designed for use in dishwashers. Store detergents in a dry and clean place. Pour the powder detergent in the dispenser just before dishwashing.

Detergent dosage

Fill the dispenser with detergent. Markings indicate the correct dose, as shown:

1 Compartment for the main cycle detergent dose. The value "MIN" represents about 20 g of the detergent.
2 Compartment for pre-wash dose, about 5 g of the detergent.

When dispensing and storing detergents, make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.

Push the lid until it locks.

If the dishes are heavily soiled, fill the detergent compartment of the prewash cycle also. The agent will start to work during prewash.

Note:

• In the program table you will find information about dosage of detergent for each program. Please note that due to the degree of soiling of the dishes and the hardness of the water some differences may occur.
- Read the recommendations of the manufacturer on the detergent's packaging.

Detergents

There are three kinds of detergents

1. With phosphates and chlorine
2. With phosphates without chlorine
3. Without phosphates and without chlorine

New powder detergents usually do not contain phosphates. For this reason there is not water softening by phosphates. In this case it is recommend to fill the salt container, even if the water hardness is only 6^ dH. When using phosphate-free detergent with hard water, on the dishes and glass often appear white spots. In this case you can achieve better results, when you add larger amount of detergent. Chlorine-free detergents bleach less. Dark coloured stains may not be removed completely. In this case, run a program with higher working temperature.

Half Load function

1. Half Load is an additional function of the dishwasher, allowing full washing of half load.
2. When you turn on the Half Load function, you can use common washing programs: Intensive, Economical (ECO), 90 min. and 30 min. and Rinse. The pre-rinse cannot be used when the Half load function is activated.
3. When the "Half load" function is switched on, the water pressure is adjusted when washing dishes and changes in time intervals for the individual washing steps. The washing times become shorter.

Using the "3 in 1" tablets

General recommendations

These products are detergents with integrated rinse aid and softener (salt).

1. You should make sure prior to using these products that the hardness of your water allows the use of the tablets (see the recommendation of the manufacturer on the product package).
2. These products should be used exactly according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3. If you would encounter problems when using "3 in 1" the first time, contact the customer support of the manufacturer.

Special recommendation

- When using combined products, the rinse aid and the softener are not effective. It could be useful to set the lowest possible water hardness.

Filing the dishwasher baskets

You will achieve the best cleaning results if you follow these instructions. The function and the appearance of the baskets can vary according to the model of the dishwasher. Incorrect placement in the baskets may cause dishes and cutlery to become unclean after washing.

Loading and unloading dishes from the basket

• Remove larger food leftovers from the dishes. Let the pans with burnt leftovers soak. It is not necessary to pre -rinse the dishes under running water.
• Load the objects in the dishwasher as follows:

- Place items such as cups, glasses, pots, bowls, etc. upside down to prevent them from collecting water.

– Glasses and other fragile objects must not touch each other to prevent damage.
– Lay diagonally the dishes curved or arched portions to allow water to run out.
– Dishes and cutlery must not lie inside one another and may not overlap.
- Load larger items, more difficult to wash, in the bottom basket.
- The upper basket is designed for fragile and smaller items such as glasses, cups or mugs.
- Arrange all the object so that they cannot be overturned.

- Arrange all objects so that the spray arms can move freely.

• You should not put very small objects in the dishwasher; they could fall through the basket.
• When loading the dishwasher, the bottom and the upper basket should not be pulled out simultaneously to prevent overturning.

WARNING

• Make sure that no object can pass through the basket bottom.
• Always place sharp objects with the cutting edge downwards!
- Do not place long or sharp objects (such as knives) in an upright position, as there is a danger of injury. Place them horizontally in the upper basket.

Unloading dishes from the dishwasher

We suggest that you empty the lower basket first and then the top, you avoid dripping water from the upper basket to the bottom.

Filling the upper basket

The upper basket is designed for smaller and more fragile items such as glasses, mugs, cups and saucers, plates, bowls and shallow bowls (if they are not too dirty).

Load the dishes and the cutlery in such a way that they cannot be overturned by streaming water.

Adjusting the upper basket

The height of the upper basket can be adjusted to create more space for larger items in either the upper or lower basket. The height of the upper basket can be adjusted to an increased (1) or decreased (2) position without having to remove the basket from the dishwasher. From production, the upper basket is in the lowered position.

To increase the position of the upper basket, grab it on both sides and lift it up. The basket settles in an elevated position. If you want to lower the basket again, grab it on both sides, lift it up and let it fall to the lowered position. Always make sure that both sides of the basket are in the same position.

1. Fill both baskets with dishes and load them back.
   We recommend that you fill first the lower basket and then the upper one.
2. Add the detergent (see chapters on dosage).

3. Connect the power cord to a suitable power outlet, see rating plate of the appliance. Check, if the water supply is fully open.

4. Make sure that nothing prevents the spray arms from moving and close the door.

5. Press the power switch and pressing the program button select the required washing cycle, see Program table.

Note:

- When you properly close the door you will hear a click. After completing the wash, you can turn off the appliance by pressing the power button.

Changing program

Basic condition: You can change the program during the operation only in case that the dishwasher runs for only a short time. Otherwise, the detergent may be already consumed and water is drained. Then you need to refill the detergent dispenser again (see section "Adding detergent").

1. Press the power button to cancel the program and when you press this button again, you turn the dishwasher on.
2. Now you can select new required program (see "Starting the washing program").

Note:

- If you open the door during the washing cycle, the dishwasher stops, an alarm signal sounds and the display shows error message "E1". When you close the door, the dishwasher resumes washing after a short pause.

Note:

- If all the control lights start flashing, it means that the dishwasher is out of order. Turn off the main switch, close the water supply and call service.

If you forget to load the dishes

Forgotten dishes can be loaded at any time until the opening of the detergent dispenser.

1. Open the door slightly and wait until the program stops.
2. Once the spray arms stop working, you can open the door.
3. Load the forgotten dishes.
4. Close the door, the dishwasher starts again after 10 seconds.

WARNING!

- It is dangerous to open the door during operation, there is a risk of scalding by the hot water. The washing program stops only when the digital display shows “- - - ” and a beep sounds 6 x. Then turn off the dishwasher using the power switch and turn off the water supply.

After finishing program

1. Press the switch to turn the dishwasher off.
2. Close the water supply.
3. Open the dishwasher door carefully, leave it ajar and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes. The dishes can cool down and dry better.

Notes

• Open the door carefully, the steam coming from the open door is hot!
• Before removing the dishes and cutlery from the dishwasher, wait a few minutes, because shortly after washing the dishes are hot and could easily crack.

Unloading dishes from the dishwasher

• The interior of the dishwasher is usually moist.
• Empty first the lower and then the upper basket. Thus you will avoid water dripping from the upper into the bottom basket.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Filtration system

The filter protects the pump against penetration of larger pieces of food and other objects. Remains of food may clog the filter. Therefore it is necessary to remove and clean the filter from time to time.

Filtration system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (main filter) and a fine microfilter.

1 Flat filter

The food remains and dirt are guided by a special jet on the lower arm into this filter.

2 Coarse filter

This filter captures the larger particles such as pieces of bone or glass, which could clog the drain. If you need to remove trapped particles from the filter, gently squeeze the tabs at the top and pull out the filter.

3 Micro filter

This filter captures in the dirt trap small food particles and prevents their returning on the dishes.

• Check after each use of the dishwasher that the filter is not clogged.
• After unscrewing the coarse filter, you can remove the entire filter system. Remove all food remains and then rinse the filter under running water.

Step 2: Push the flat filter upward.

Note:

- When removing the filter, proceed from step 1 to step 2, when inserting the filter back, proceed from step 2 to step 1.

Filter assembly

Regular filter cleaning ensures optimum performance and washing results. The filter effectively captures particles from the wash water and allows the recycling of water during the cycle. It is therefore advisable after each wash cycle to remove from the filter larger trapped particles by rinsing the filter under running water. Remove the filter by pulling the tab of the filter in the vertical direction. The whole filter should be cleaned once a week.

Use a cleaning brush to clean the coarse and fine filter. Then reassemble the filter as shown above and insert the entire filtration system into the dishwasher back into position and push it downward.

WARNING!

- The dishwasher must never be used without a filter! Improper insertion of the filter may reduce the performance of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.

- Do not tap on the filter when cleaning it. Deformed filter negatively affects the functionality of the appliance.

Cleaning of the spray arms

Regular cleaning of the spray arms of chemicals from hard water is important because emerging limescale clogs jets and bearings. You can remove the spray arms by unscrewing the nut at the top of the arm in a clockwise direction, then you can remove the arms. Rinse spray arms in warm, soapy water and using a soft brush clean the jets. After thorough rinsing put the arms back.

Caring for the dishwasher

Clean the control panel using slightly wet cloth. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.

For the maintenance of the exterior use high quality polishing wax. Never use sharp tools, abrasive powders or aggressive cleaners to clean the dishwasher.

Frost protection

If the dishwasher is left in the winter in an unheated place, do the following:

1. Disconnect the dishwasher from power.
2. Close the water supply and disconnect the hose from the water supply.
3. Drain water from the water supply hose and water valve. (Use pot to catch the water.)

4. Reconnect the water supply hose to the water valve.

5. From the bottom of the dishwasher, remove the filter tank and use a sponge to dry the water from the sink trap.

Cleaning the door

- Use only a cloth dampened with warm water to clean around the rim of the door. Do not use spray cleaners to prevent water from penetrating the door lock or electrical components. Also do not use any abrasive cleaners or abrasive powders that could scratch the surface of the appliance. Even some paper towels can leave traces on the surface or scratches.

How to keep your dishwasher in good condition

After each washing

After each wash, close the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly open so that the moisture and odors can vent from the interior.

Disconnect the power supply

Before any cleaning and maintenance disconnect the power supply. Do not take a risk.

Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners

Never use solvents or abrasive cleaners to clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher. Use only cloth dipped into warm, soapy water. Remove stains and residue from the interior surfaces of the dishwasher with a cloth soaked in a mild vinegar solution or a special agent intended for dishwashers.

During vacations

If the appliance will not be in use for longer time, perform a wash cycle without dishes, disconnect the power supply, close the water supply and leave the door of the dishwasher ajar. This will prevent forming odors inside the appliance and you will save the door seal.

Moving the dishwasher

If the machine must be moved, try to transport it in an upright position. If it is absolutely necessary, it can be placed on its back.

Seal

Remains of food that gets stuck in the door seals are one of the factors creating the odor in the dishwasher. Prevent the formation of odor by regularly cleaning the seal with a damp sponge.
