PRIOR USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Before using your dishwasher for the first time

  • Set the water softener
  • Add 1.5 Kg dishwasher salt and then full fill the salt container with water
  • Fill the rinse aid dispenser
  • Fill in detergent

A. 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 higher the content of these minerals and salts, 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 optimise and customise the level of salt consumption.

  1. Close the door, switch on the appliance;
    2. Within 60 seconds after the appliance was switched on press the PROGRAM button (5) for more than 5 seconds to start the water softener set model. The display shows H3.

  2. Press the PROGRAM button (5) to select the proper set according to your local environment, the sets will change in the following sequence:  H3>H4>H5>H6>H1>H2>H3

  3. Press the POWER button (1) to end the setting mode.

  3. Every cycle with a regeneration operation consumes additional 2 litres of water, the energy consumption increases by 0.02 kWh and the programme extents by 4 minutes.

Water softener

  • The hardness of the water varies from place to place.
  • If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will from on the dishes and utensils.
  • The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.

Loading the Salt into the Softener

  • Always use salt intende d for use with dis hwasher.
  • The salt container is located beneath the rack and should be filled as follows:

ATTENTION!
Only uses alt specifically designed for use in dishwa shers! All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwas her, especially tablesalt, will damage the water softener. In case of damage s ca used by the use of unsui tabl e salt the manuf acturer does not give any warranty or is liable for any cause damages. Only fill withs alt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes. This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been split, remai ni ng of the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion. After the first wash cycle the control panel light expires .
WARNING:
if salt is not added, it will cause poor cleaning effect of dishes, and will produce scale.

eta 238290000C Dishwasher - basket has been removed

  1. After the lower basket has been removed, unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container.
  2. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce about 1.5 kg of dishwasher salt.
  3. Full fill the salt container with water,It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container.
  4. After filling the container, screw the cap tightly back clockwise.
  5. The salt warning light will stop being 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 ofthe machine may be damaged by salty water. This is out of warranty.

NOTE

  • The salt container must be refilled when the salt warning light in 1. the control panel comes on. Though the salt container is filled enough, the indicator light may not black out before the salt fully dissolve. If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (for some models) , you can judge when to load the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher had run (see the foregoing schema ).
  • If there are spills of the salt, a soak program could be run to wipe them out.

B. RINSE AID
Function of Rinse Aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. It also improves drying by allowing water to roll off the dishes.

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.
Rinse Aid Dispenser
Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids. 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 110 ml.

When to Refill the Rinse Aid Dispenser

  • If there is rinse-aid warning light in the control panel.et below 1/4 full.

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 streaks on the dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

C. DETERGENT
Detergents with its chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport it out of the dishwasher. Most of commercial quality detergents are suitable for
this purpose.

Proper Use of Detergent

  • Use only detergent specifically made f or use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don‘t put powder detergent into the dispenser until you‘re ready to wash dishes.

WARNING:
If the washing powder is not added, the washing effect will be poor, resulting in increased water and electricity consumption for secondary washing

Detergents
There are 3 sorts of detergents:

  1. With phosphate and with chlorine
  2. With phosphate and without chlorine
  3. 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 fi ll 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 hard water often white spots appear on dishes and glasses. In this case please add more detergent to reach better results. Detergents without chlorine do only bleach a little.
Strong and coloured spots will not be removed completely. Inthiscase pleasechoosea program with ahighertemperature.

Cocentrated Detergent
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher can be split in two basic types:

  • conventional, alkaline detergents wi th caustic components
  • low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes

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 programmes. Therefore please use long programmes when using detergent tablets, to unsure the complete removal 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 dishwashers use less detergent and rinse aid then conventional dishwashers. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.

WARNING!
Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out of reach of children.

Fill in detergent

  1. Please choose an open way according to the actual situation.
    1. Open the cap by sliding the release catch.
    2. Open the cap by pressing down the release catch.eta 238290000C

WARNING:
If the washing powder is not added, the washing effect will be poor, resulting in increased water and electricity consumption for secondary washing
Note
You find information about the amount of detergent for the single programmes on the last page. Please aware, that according to the level soiling and the specific hardness of water differences are possible.

LOADING THE DISHWASHER RACKS (EN 60436)

For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model.

Recommendation

  • Consider buying utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof.

  • Use a mild detergent that is described as ‘kind to dishes‘. If necessary, seek further informat on from the detergent manufacturers.

  • For particular items, select a program with as low a temperature as possible.

  • To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately after the programme has ended.
    Attention before or after Loading the Dishwasher Racks
    Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water. Place objects in the dishwasher in following way:

  • Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are stood upside down.

  • Curve items, or those with recesses, should be at a slant so that water can run off.

  • They are stacked securely and can not tip over.

  • They do not prevent the spray arms from rotating while washing takes place.

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

WARNING:

It can only be used with Auto, Intensive, Universal, ECO, Glass, 90 min by pressing the P and F buttons together.
The door opens automatically in the last drying phase – a few minutes before the end of the washing program. They open approximately 75 to 150 mm from the closed door position, so it is necessary to keep enough space in front of the dishwasher during the use of the dishwasher, so that at the end of the program (when opening automatically door lock) did not damage the door lock and the entire opening mechanism.

  • Do not remove the dishes from the dishwasher immediately after opening the door (the drying phase is still in progress) – but only after the end of the program.

  • After the dishwasher switches off automatically, turn off the water supply.

Unloading the dishwasher

  • It is normal that the dishwasher is wet inside.

  • Hot dishes are sensitive to shocks.
    You should allow the dishes to cool for about 15 minutes before removing them from the dishwasher.

  • 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.

MAINTANCE AND CLEANING

Filtering System

  • The filter prevent larger remnants of food or other objects from getting inside the pump.
    This residue can occasionally clog up the filters.

  • The filter system consists of a coarse filter,a flat (Main filter) and a microfilter (Fine filter).

1 – Main filter
Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the lower spray arm and washed down the drain.
2 – Coarse filter
Larger items, such as pieces of bones or glass, that could block the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove the items caught by the filter, gently squeeze the tap on the top of this filter and lift out.
3 – Fine filter
This filter holds soil and food residuesinthe sumpareaand prevents it from being redeposit on the dishes during wash cycle.

Filter assembly

  • For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned.
  • The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle. 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.
