Operating Instructions

Filling the Detergent Dispenser

Detergents are necessary to ensure clean crockery and cutlery as they work to remove dirt. Most of the available dishwasher detergents will fulfil this purpose.

The washing programs of your dishwasher were specially designed to work in conjunction with concentrated detergents or detergents tablets. Using these types of detergent will allow you to achieve excellent results by simply using the "ECO" (standard) washing program.

NOTE // Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different rates, for that reason some detergents cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programs. Therefore, please use long programs when using detergent tablets to ensure the complete removal of residuals.

Detergents

Detergents without chlorine don't have a full bleaching capacity. Strong and coloured stains will not be removed completely. In this case, please choose a program with a higher temperature setting.

Concentrated detergent

Based on their chemical composition, detergents can be split in 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 on the concentrated detergent. For this reason normal wash programs in which concentrated detergents are used can

Operating Instructions

Detergent Dispenser

The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each washing cycle. The “Washing Cycle Table” on page 14 provides the amount of detergent required for each washing program.

NOTE // Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid than conventional dishwashers. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load.

NOTE // Always fill the detergent dispenser just before starting a washing cycle to avoid the tablet from getting damp and may impede it from dissolving properly.

1. If the lid is closed: push the latch to open the lid.
2. Fill the detergent dispenser according to the detergent amount suggested on the "Washing Cycle Table" on page 14 just before starting each washing cycle.

NOTE // Please observe the manufacturers dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging.

Operating Instructions

Filling the Rinse Aid Dispenser

Function of the rinse aid

The rinse aid is automatically released during the last rinse in order to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes that can leave spots and streaks.

NOTE // Only use branded rinse aid in the dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent) as this will damage the appliance.

The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to the detergent dispenser.

To fill the dispenser, open the cap and pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator turns completely black. The volume of the rinse aid container is about 110mL . Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, because this could cause over-sudsing.

button. The dishwasher will resume functioning after 10 seconds.

Changing a running program

A cycle that is underway can only be changed to a different program if it has only been running for a short period of time. Otherwise, the detergent may have already been released and the appliance may have already drained the washing water.

If this is the case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled (See Section "Filling the detergent dispenser"-Page 14)

To change a running program:

1. Press the Start/Pause button, and the dishwasher will enter into standby mode.
2. Press the program button for a few seconds to cancel the current program in use.
3. Change the program to your desired

Operating Instructions

IMPORTANT // Slightly opening the door of the dishwasher at the end of the program and leaving it ajar for a few minutes before unstacking the dishwasher will assist the drying process to achieve better results. It will also allow the utensils to cool down before removing them from the dishwasher (hot dishware is more susceptible to breakage).

TIP // To prevent water from dripping from the upper basket onto dishes on the lower basket, empty the lower basket first and then work your way up to the upper basket and cutlery drawer.

TIP // When not in use, leave the door of the dishwasher ajar so that moisture and bad odours are not held inside the appliance.

Maintenance and Cleaning

WARNING // Before cleaning or servicing your dishwasher, always remove the plug from the power point.

A. Filtering system

The filtering system is used to avoid big remnants and other sundries getting inside the pump. Sometimes, deposits of residue can obstruct the water flow in the internal pipes and spray arms.

The filtering system consists of 3 parts:

NOTE // The entire filter assembly should be cleaned at least once a week.

B. Cleaning the filter

Maintenance and Cleaning

NOTE // Improper installation of the filters may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage your dishware.

WARNING // Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place.

Cleaning the spray arms

The spray arms should be cleaned regularly to ensure efficient operation of the spray jets and bearings. To do so, remove the spray

Cleaning the dishwasher

It is not recommended to use solvents or abrasive cleaning products to clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher. Only use a cloth and warm soapy water.

To remove darker spots or stains from the surface of the interior cavity, use a cloth dampened with water and a small amount of white vinegar. Cleaning products made specifically for dishwashers are also indicated.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Protection against freezing

Take frost protection measures by following these instructions after every wash cycle during winter:

1. Remove the power plug from the power supply
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3. Drain the water from the inlet pipe and water valve into a container
4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
5. Remove the filter at the bottom of the tub and use a sponge to soak up water in the sump.

Transporting the appliance

If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it is recommended to position the dishwasher on its back instead of any of the other lateral or front sides.

Installation

ATTENTION // Connection to the water and electrical supplies should only be performed by a qualified technician.

WARNING // Switch off the electrical power before installing the appliance. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or death.

Product dimensions

1. Position the dishwasher in a way so that its sides and back panels are not in contact with the adjacent cabinets or with the wall. This appliance can also be recessed under a bench top.
2. Position the dishwasher on a level and sturdy floor. If the floor is uneven, the three leveling legs of the appliance can be individually adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position. If the appliance is leveled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to move or cause vibrations and noise while in operation.

Water supply connections

The dishwasher should not stand on top of the water hoses or electric supply cable. The appliance must be connected to the water supply network using new piping.

Connecting the safety supply hose

The safety supply hose system blocks the flow of water in the case of the supply hose breaking, or when the air space between the

1. Turn the water supply completely off
2. Unscrew the safety supply hose from the faucet.

WARNING // A hose that attached to a sink spray 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.

Connecting the water inlet hose

Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 34 ” connector and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place.

taken, there is a risk of the water inlet getting blocked, which could damage the appliance.

Connecting the water outlet

Insert the hose into a drainage hose with diameter greater than 40mm or into a sink, in both cases, make sure that the outlet pipe is straight and not higher than 1m from the floor.

Secure your hose firmly to the drainage pipe to avoid it coming off during the washing process.

If the length of the hose is not sufficient, a hose extension can be ordered from an authorised service agent.

NOTE // The hose length, including the extension, should not exceed 4 meters.

ATTENTION // If the end of the outlet hose is positioned at a height above 1m from the floor, the excess water in hoses cannot be drained.
