INSTALL THE APPLIANCE

Place your appliance

• When choosing the place of installation, make sure you will be able to easily load and remove dishes and utensils from the dishwasher.
• Do not place the appliance in a room where the temperature can fall below 0°C.
• Before installing unpack the appliance following the instructions on the packaging.
• When you move the appliance do not handle it by the door or control panel.
• Leave some room on all sides to have convenient access to the dishwasher when cleaning.
• Make sure that when you set the dishwasher you do not crush the water supply and drain hose. Also, make sure that the appliance is not placed on the power cord.
• Level the appliance using adjustable legs. Proper level ensures trouble-free opening and closing of the dishwasher doors.
• If the dishwasher door will not close properly, check that the appliance stands firmly on the floor, if not, adjust using the adjustable legs.

Water supply connection
Make sure that the domestic water supply system is suitable for the dishwasher. It is recommended to install a filter in the water supply line to avoid damage to the appliance
due to impurities (such as sand, clay, rust, etc.) that occasionally occur in water. This will also prevent the accumulation of sediment after dishwashing.
Water supply hose

• Do not use the water supply hose from the old dishwasher.
• Use the new water supply hose provided with the appliance.
• Before connecting, rinse the hose with water.
• Connect the water supply hose directly to the water feed valve.
• The domestic water system pressure should be at least 0.03 MPa and up to 1 MPa. If the water pressure exceeds 1 MPa, install a pressure-reducing valve.
• When the connection is ready, open the valve completely and check for leaks.
• For safety reasons, close the water supply tap after every wash.
• NOTE: Aquastop water supply is used in some dishwasher models.
• The dangerous voltage could occur with Aquastop.
• Do not cut the Aquastop water supply.
• Do not allow it to bend or twist.
• Note: For safety reasons, close the water tap after every wash
• The drain hose
• The drain hose can be connected directly to a water drain or kitchen sink stub pipe.
• You can also drain the water directly into the sink using the special bracket (if available), placing the drain hose outlet on the kitchen sink edge.
• The drain hose connection should be made at least 50 cm and up to 110 cm from the floor.
• If the drain hose is longer than 4m, dishes may not be washed properly. The manufacturer will not be held responsible.

Electrical connection

• The grounded plug must be connected to a grounded power outlet with a proper voltage.
• If there is no grounding, refer this to a qualified electrician.
• If you operate the appliance without proper grounding, the manufacturer does not assume any liability for the possible resulting damage.
• The domestic electrical systems must be protected with a 10-16A fuse.
• The appliance must be supplied with 220-240V/50Hz AC.
• Always use the plug provided with the appliance.
• When you operate the appliance at a lower voltage the dishwashing efficiency will deteriorate and may damage the appliance.
• The power cord may only be replaced by an authorized service or a qualified electrician. Failure to comply with these rules may lead to an accident.
• For safety reasons, you should always unplug the appliance after you have finished using it.
• In order not to avoid electric shock, do not remove the plug from the wall outlet with wet hands.
• When you unplug the appliance from the wall outlet, always pull the plug. Never pull the power cord.

PREPARE THE APPLIANCE FOR OPERATION

Before first use

• Before using the appliance, verify that the data given on the rating plate matches that of local power outlets.
• Remove all packing materials from inside of the appliance.
• Prepare special salt (water softener).
• Pour water into the special salt dispenser and then add about 1.5 kg of special salt (dishwasher salt).
• Pour rinse aid into the dispenser.

The importance of water descaling

• A dishwasher requires soft water (with low calcium content) to operate efficiently.
• Otherwise, white residue mainly remains on the dishes and inside the appliance. This has a negative impact on the quality of dishwashing, rinsing, and drying. When the water flows through the softener, ions responsible for the water’s hardness are removed, and the water becomes soft, for the best dishwashing results. Depending on the degree of water hardness, the ions responsible for water hardness accumulate quickly inside the water softener. Therefore, the water softener must be regenerated to operate with the same efficiency during the next wash. This is why special salt is used in the dishwasher.

Add special salt

• Only use special salt intended for dishwashers.
• Any other type of salt that is not intended for use in a dishwasher, especially regular kitchen salt, will damage the water softener. In the event of damage caused by the use of the wrong salt, the manufacturer’s warranty is void and we will not be liable for the damage.
• Fill with special salt before running the washing program.
• This will prevent spilled special salt or salty water from remaining on the bottom of the device, which may cause corrosion.

1. Remove the lower basket from the appliance and unscrew the special salt dis- penser cap.
2. Place the end of the funnel (included) in the hole and pour about 1.5 kg of salt.
3. Pour water into the dispenser until full. It is normal that a small amount of water spills out of the special salt dispenser.
4. After you fill the dispenser, screw the cap on.
5. When you fil the dispenser with special salt, the add salt indicator goes out.
6. Start the washing programme immediately after filling the dispenser with special salt (the quick wash is recommended). Otherwise, salty water can damage the filters, the pump or other important appliance components This is not covered by the warranty

NOTE:

• Fill the special salt dispenser when the special salt indicator on the control panel lights up.
• Depending on the rate of salt dissolution, the special salt indica- tor may still be on even after filling the dispenser.
• If there is no special salt indicator on the control panel (on some models), you can estimate when to top up the dispenser based on the number of wash cycles performed.
• If some special salt spills, run the soaking programme or a quick wash pro- gramme.
• Use only the special salt intended for dishwashers!

The test strip

• The dishwashing effectiveness is linked to water hardness. Therefore, the appliance is equipped with a system to reduce the hardness of the water supply. The dish- washing effectiveness is improved when the system is set correctly. To check water hardness contact the municipal water company or determined the water hardness using test strip (if available).

Multi-component (multitab) detergents (eg. 2-in-1, 3-in-1, etc.)

There are three types of detergents:

1. Containing phosphates and chlorine,
2. Containing phosphates and no chlorine,
3. Containing no phosphates and no chlorine.

• The latest tablets are generally phosphate-free. Since phosphates have water-softening properties, we recommend adding salt to the container even if the water hardness is only 6°dH. If you use phosphate-free detergent where water is hard, white residue may be visible on the dishes.

• You can prevent this by increasing the amount of detergent. Chlorine-free detergents have less bleaching effect. Stains may not be entirely removed. Select the
  program with a higher wash temperature.

• Generally, using multi-component detergents suitable results are obtained only un- der certain conditions.

• Such detergents contain rinse aid and/or special salt in a specific amount.

• It is recommended to use special salt when using multi-component tablets.

• What you should pay attention to when using these tablets.

• Always check the type of detergent used and whether it is a multi-component product.

• Make sure that the detergent used is appropriate for tap water hardness.

• Follow the instructions on the product packaging.

• If the detergent is in the form of tablets, never place it in the cutlery basket. Always place the tablet in the detergent dispenser compartment.

• The use of these detergents yields good results only in certain applications.

• Us- ing this type of detergent you should contact the manufacturer for information about proper use.

• If you use the detergent properly and the dishwasher settings are correct you can save on salt and/or rinse aid.

• If dishwashing results while using 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 detergents are not satisfactory (traces of limescale on the dishes), please contact the detergent manufacturer.

• The warranty does not cover complaints due to the use of multi-component detergents.

• Recommended use: For best results using multi-component cleaning agents, add special salt and rinse aid in the dishwasher and set the water hardness and amount of rinse aid to the lowest setting.

• The solubility of the detergent tablets made by different manufacturers can vary with regard to temperature and time. It is therefore not recommended to use detergent tablets in quick programs. It is recommended to use powder detergents in quick programmes.

• Always store detergents in a dry, cool place, out of reach of children. Add detergent to the dispenser immediately before using the appliance.
  Warning: If encounter another problem when using a multi-component detergent, please contact the detergent manufacturer. Stop using multi- component detergents
  Add special salt and rinse aid to dispensers.

• Set the water hardness to the highest level (6) and run an empty dishwasher.

• Adjust the water hardness.

• Adjust the rinse aid setting.

• Warning: Use only rinse aid designed for domestic dishwashers.

• Wipe up spilled rinse aid with a cloth as it will cause the formation of large amounts of foam, and thus will reduce the dishwashing effectiveness.
