Recommendations for loading the dishwasher
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.
For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines.
(Features and appearance of baskets and cutlery baskets may vary from your model.)
Place objects in the dishwasher in the following way:
tems such as cups, glasses, pots, pans, etc. must face 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.
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, glasses should not touch one another.
The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups.
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard!
Long and 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.

NOTE
Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the basket.

Removing the dishes
To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower basket, we recommend that you empty the lower basket first, followed by the upper basket.

WARNING
Items will be hot! To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher for around 15 minutes after the program has ended.

Loading the upper basket
The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty).
Position the dishes and cookware so that they will not get moved by the spray of water.

Loading the lower basket
We suggest that you place large and difficult to clean items into the lower basket: such as pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure below.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.
The maximum diameter advised for plates in front of the detergent dispenser is of 19 cm, this not to hamper the opening of it.

Loading the cutlery basket
Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery basket separate from each other in the appropriate positions. Avoid nesting of the cutlery to prevent insufficient cleaning performance.

WARNING
Do not let any item extend through the bottom.
Always load sharp utensils with the sharp point down!

LOADING THE BASKETS ACCORDING TO EN60436:
Loading the dishwasher to its full capacity will contribute to energy and water savings.

Basket Loading Tips
Adjusting the upper basket
The height of the upper basket can be easily adjusted to accommodate taller dishes in either the upper or lower basket.
To adjust the height of the upper rack, follow these steps:

1. To raise the upper basket, just lift the upper basket at the center of each side until the basket locks into place in the upper position. It is not necessary to lift the adjuster handle.
2. To lower the upper basket, lift the adjust handles on each side to release the basket and lower it to the lower position.

Sliding cutlery rack
The cutlery rack can slide to the right or left at will.

Folding back the cup shelves
To make room for taller items in the upper basket, raise the cup rack upwards.
You can then lean the tall glasses against it.

Folding back the rack shelves
The spikes of the lower basket are used for holding plates and a platter.
They can be lowered to make more room for large items.

USING YOUR DISHWASHER

1. Set the water softener
2. Loading the salt Into the softener
3. Loading the basket
4. Fill the detergent dispenser

Loading The Salt Into The Softener

NOTE
If your model does not have any water softener, you may skip this section.
Always use salt intended for dishwasher use.
The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as explained in the following:

WARNING
Only use salt specifically designed for dishwashers use!
Every other type of salt not specifically designed for dishwasher use, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. In case of damages caused by the use of unsuitable  salt the manufacturer does not give any warranty nor is liable for any damages caused.
Only fill with salt before running a cycle.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
Please follow the steps below for adding dishwasher salt:

1. Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.
2. Place the end of the funnel (if supplied) into the hole and pour in about 1.5 kg of dishwasher salt.
3. Fill the salt container to its maximum limit with water, It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container.
4. After filling the container, screw back the cap tightly.
5. The salt warning light will turn off after the salt container has been filled with salt.
6. Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing program should be started (We suggest to use a short program). Otherwise the filter system, pump or  other important parts of the machine may be damaged by salty water. This is out of warranty.

NOTE
The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light in the control panel comes on. Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be on even though the salt container is filled.
If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (for some models), you can estimate when to fill the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher has run.
If salt has spilled, run a soak or quick program to remove it.

Water Softener
The water softener must be set manually, using the water hardness dial.
The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.
The more minerals there are, the harder your water is.
The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area.
Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.

Adjusting salt consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjustment in the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimize and customize the  level of salt consumption.
Please follow the steps below for adjustment in salt consumption.

1. Open the door, switch on the appliance;
2. Within 60 seconds after the appliance was switched on press the Program button for more than 5 seconds to enter the water softener setting mode.
3. Press the Program button again to select the proper setting according to your local water hardness, the setting will change in the following sequence: H3->H4->H5->H6->H1->H2->H3;
4. Without operation in 5 seconds or press the Power button to complete the setup and exit the setup mode.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

External Care
The door and the door seal
Clean the door seals regularly with a soft damp cloth to remove food deposits. When the dishwasher is being loaded, food and drink residues may drip onto the sides of the  dishwasher door. These surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not accessed by water from the spray arms. Any deposits should be wiped off before the door is closed.

The control panel
If cleaning is required, the control panel should be wiped with a soft damp cloth only.
WARNING
To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.
Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they may scratch the finish. Some paper towels may also scratch or leave marks on the surface.

Internal Care
Filtering system
The filtering system in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse debris from the washing cycle, including foreign objects such as tooth picks or shards. The collected coarse  debris may cause the filters to clog. Check the condition of the filters regularly, carefully remove foreign objects and clean the parts of the filtering system if necessary with water. Follow the steps below to clean the filter.

WARNING
Pictures are only for reference, different models of the filtering system and spray arms may be different.

1. Hold the coarse filter and rotate it anticlockwise to unlock the filter. Lift the filter upwards and out of the dishwasher.
2. The fine filter can be pulled off the bottom of the filter assembly. The coarse filter can be detached from the main filter by gently squeezing the tabs at the top and pulling it away.
3. Larger food remnants can be cleaned by rinsing the filter under running water. For a more thorough clean, use a soft cleaning brush.
4. Reassemble the filters in the reverse order of the disassembly, replace the filter insert, and rotate clockwise to the close arrow.
   WARNING
   Do not over tighten the filters. Put the filters back in sequence securely, otherwise coarse debris could get into the system and cause a blockage.
   Never use the dishwasher without filters in place. Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.

Spray arms
It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly for hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings.
To clean the spray arms, follow the instructions below:

1. To remove the upper spray arm, hold the nut in the center still and rotate the spray arm counterclockwise to remove it.
2. To remove the lower spray arm, pull out the spray arm upward.
3. Wash the arms in soapy and warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets.

Caring For The Dishwasher
Frost precaution
Please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in winter. Every time after washing cycles, please operate as follows:

1. Cut off the electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source.
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. (Use a pan to gather the water)
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.

After every wash
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly open for a while so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside.

Remove the plug
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket.

No solvents or abrasive cleaning
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Only use a cloth with warm soapy water.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water an a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.

When not in use for a long time
It is recommend that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the  appliance slightly open. This will help the door seals to last longer and prevent odors from forming within the appliance.

Moving the appliance
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.

Seals
One of the factors that cause odours to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.
