To fill the dispenser, open the cap and pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator turns completely black.Thevolumeoftherinseaidcontainerisabout110ml.
FunctionofRinseAid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.
Attention.
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
If there is no rinse-aid warning light in the control panel, you can judge the amount of rinse-aid by the color of the optical level indicator "C" located next to the cap. When the rinse-aid container is full, the whole indicator will be dark. As the rinse-aid diminishes, the size of the dark dot decreases. You should never let the rinse aid get below 1/4 full.
As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below.

1 To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the "open" (left) arrow and lift it out.
2 Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill.
3 Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with "open" arrow and turning it to the closed (right) arrow.
Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, because this could cause over sudsing. Wipe away any spills with adampcloth. Don't forget to replace the cap before you close the dishwasher door.
Attention.
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during then next wash.
Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser has six or four settings. Always start with the dispenser set on "4". If spots and poor drying are a problem, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by removing the dispenser lid and rotating the dial to "5". If the dishes are still not drying properly or are showing spots, adjust the dial to the next higher lever until your dishes are spot-free. The recommended setting is "4". (Factory value is "4".)
NOTE:
Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish stains on your dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knifeblades.
B. Function of Detergent
Detergents with its chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport it out of the dishwasher. Most of the commercial quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.
Detergents
Thereare3sortsofdetergents
- With phosphate and with chlorine
- With phosphate and without chlorine
- Without phosphate and without chlorine
Normally new pulverised detergent is without phosphate. Thus the water softener function of phosphate is not given. In this case we recommend to fill salt in the salt container even when the hardness of water is only 6 dH. If detergents without phosphate are used in the case of hardwater often white spots appear on dishes and glasses. In this case please add more detergent to achieve better results. Detergents without chlorine do only bleach a little. Strong and coloured spots will not be removed completely. In this case please choose a program with a higher temperature.
Concentrated Detergent
Based on their chemical composition, detergents can be split into two basic types:
■ conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components
■ low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes
The use of normal washing programs in combination with concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; these wash programs are specifically matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For this reason
“normal” wash programs in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that can otherwise only be achieved using “intensive” programs.
Detergent Tablets
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programs. Therefore please use long programs when using detergent tablets, to ensure the completeremoval of detergent residuals.
Detergent Dispenser
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the wash cycle table. Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid than Conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. More heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.
Amount of Detergent to Use
natural_image
Close-up of a kitchen appliance with a plastic tray, handle, and control panel (no visible text or symbols)
NOTE:
■ If the lid is closed: press release button. The lid will spring open.
■ Always add the detergent just before starting each wash cycle.
■ Only use branded detergent aid for dishwasher.
WARNING
Dishwasher detergent is corrosive. Take care to keep it out of reach of children.
Proper Use of Detergent
Use of detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don't put powdered detergent into the dispenser until you're ready to wash dishes.
FillinDetergent
Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels, as illustrated on the right:
A Theplaceformainwashcycledetergent.
B The place for pre-wash cycle detergent.
Please observe the manufacturers dosing and storage Recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging.
Close the lid and press until it locks in place.
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.
NOTE:
■ Information about the amount of detergent for the single programme is located at the washing cycle table.
■ Please be aware, that according to the level soiling and the specific hardness of water differences are possible.
- Please observe the manufacturer's recommendations on the detergent packaging.
4. Loading the Dishwasher Baskets

(For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines.
Features and appearance of baskets and cutlery baskets may vary from your model.)
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.
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 can not tip over.
- All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.
NOTE: Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the basket.
- 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 to glasses, they must not touch.
■ Load large items which are most difficult to clean into the lower basket.
■ The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and teacups
■ 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.
Removing the Dishes
To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower basket, we recommend that you empty the lower basket first and then the upper basket.

6 Pressthe Start/Pausebutton,thedishwasherwillrun after10seconds.
At the End of the Wash Cycle
When the working cycle has finished, the buzzer of the dishwasher will sound for 8 seconds, then stop. Turn off the appliance using the Power switch button, shut off the water supply and open the door of the dishwasher. Wait for a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid handling the dishes and utensils while they are still hot and more susceptible to breakage. They will also dry better.
■ SwitchOfftheDishwasher
The program light is on but is not blinking, only in this case the programme has ended.
1. Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the Power button.
2. Turnoff the watertap.
■ Openthedoorcarefully.

■ Unloading the dishwasher
It is normal that the dishwasher is wet inside.
Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one. This will avoid water dripping from the upper Basket onto the dishes in the lower one.
WARNING
It is dangerous to open the door when washing, because the hot water may scald you.
6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Filtering System
The filter prevents larger remnants of food or other objects from getting inside the pump. The residues may block the filter, in this case they must be removed.
The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (Main filter) And a microfilter(Fine filter).
Mainfilter 1
Food and soil particles trapped in this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the lower spray arm and washed down to drain.
Coarsefilter 2
Larger items, such as pieces of bones or glass, that could block the drain to determine become trapped in the course filter the items caught by the filter, gently squeeze the tapon the top of this filter and liftout.
Finefilter 3
This filter holds soil and food residues in the sumparea and prevents it from being redeposited on the dishes during wash cycle.
Filterassembly
The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be recycled during the cycle. For best performance and results, the filter must be cleaned regularly. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the semicircular filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter device, pull the cup handle in the upward direction.
WARNING
■ The dishwasher must never be used without the filters.
■ Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damaged dishes and utensils.

Electrical Connection
Ensure the voltage and frequency of the power being used corresponds to those on the rating plate. Only insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthed properly. If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace the socket, rather than using a adaptor or the likes as they could cause overheating and burns.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be earthed. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, earthing will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and an earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and earthed in accordance with all local standards and requirements.

The appliance must be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets. The old hose-sets should not be reused.
Waterpressure must be between 0,04 MPa and 1 MPa. If the pressure is below the minimum consultour Service Department for advice.
1 PullThesafetysupplyhosescompletelyoutfromthestoragecompartmentlocatedatrearof dishwasher.
2 Tightenthescrewsofthesafetysupplyhosetothefaucetwiththread3/4inch.
3 Turnwaterfullyonbeforestartingthedishwasher.
ABOUT THE SAFETY SUPPLY HOSE.
Thesafety supply hose consists of the double walls. The hose's system guarantees its intervention by blocking the flow of water in case of the supply hose breaking and when the air space between the supply hose itself and the outer corrugated hose is full of water.
▲WARNING
Ahose that attachesto asinkspray can burst if it is installed on the same water line as the dishwasher. If your sink has one, it is recommended that the hose be disconnected and the hole plugged.
How to Disconnect the safety supply hose
1 Turnoffthewater.
2 Release the water pressure by depressing the pressure release button. This relieves water pressure and protects you, and the room, from severesplashing.
3 Unscrewthesafetysupplyhosefromthefaucet.
COLD WATER CONNECTION
Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4(inch) connector and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place. 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 can get blocked and damage the appliance.
Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 40mm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. The top of the hose must be less than 1000mm.
How to Drain Excess Water From Hoses
If the sink is 1000mm higher from the floor, the excess water in hoses cannot be drained directly into the sink. It will be necessary to drain excesswater from hoses into a bowl or suitable container that is held outside and lower than the sink.
Water Outlet
Connect the water drain hose. The drain hose must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks. Ensure that the water drain hose is not kinked or squashed.
Extension Hose
If you need a drain hose extension, make sure to use a similar drain hose. It must be no longer than 4 metres; otherwise the cleaning effect of the dishwasher could be reduced.
SyphonConnection
Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 40mm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. The top of the hose must be less than 1000mm.

1 The dishwasher is level and fixed properly
2 The inlet valve is open
3 There is no leakage at the connections of the conducts
4 The wires are tightly connected
