Electrical Connection
WARNING!
For personal safety:
- Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug with this appliance.
- Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the earthing connection from the power cord.
Please look at the rating label to know the rating voltage and connect the dishwasher to the appropriate power supply. Use the required fuse 10-amp, time delay fuse or circuit breaker recommended and provide separate circuit serving only this appliance.
E nsure proper ground exists before use!
Ensure the voltage and frequency of the power being 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 an adaptor or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.
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.
NOTE: After having installed the appliance, the switched outlet must always be in an accessible position.

Dishwasher Features
Prior to using for the first time
Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
A. Fill the rinse aid dispenser
B. Fill in detergent
A. Rinse Aid Dispenser
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to roll off the dishes. 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 110ml.
Function of Rinse Aid
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.
How to fill the Rinse Aid Dispenser
- To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the “open” (left) arrow and lift it out.
- Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill.
- 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 a damp cloth. Don’t forget to replace the cap before you close dishwasher door.
Attention!
Clean up any rinse aid spill during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.
NOTE! Clean up any rinse aid spilled while during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excessive foaming during the next wash. Don’t forget to replace the cap before you close dishwasher door.
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 still are not drying properly or are show 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 knife blades.
B. Detergent
Detergents have chemical ingredients that 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
There are 3 sorts of detergents:
- With phosphate and with chlorine
- With phosphate and without chlorine
- Without phosphate and without chlorine
Normally new pulverized detergent is without phosphate. Thus, the water softener function of phosphate is not given. 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 colored 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 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 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 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 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.
Proper Use of Detergent
Use only detergent specifically made for the use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put powdered detergent into the dispenser until you’re ready to wash dishes.
Adding detergent to dispenser
Fill in Detergent
Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels , as illustrated on the right:
A. The place of main wash cycle detergent placed.
B. The place of pre-wash cycle detergent placed.
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!
- If the lid is closed: push the latch to open.
- Always add the detergent just before starting each wash cycle.
- Only use branded detergent and rinse aid for dishwasher.
- You see information about the amount of detergent for the single Programme on page 8.
- Please be aware that soiling levels and water hardness can effect wash results.
- Please observe the manufacturer’s recommendations on the detergent packaging.
WARNING! Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out of reach of children.
Loading the Dishwasher Baskets
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 information from the detergent manufacturers.
- For particular items, select a program with as low temperature as possible.
- To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately after the program has ended.
Suitability of use in the dishwasher
Attention before or after loading the Dishwasher Baskets
(For the 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 food particles. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans.
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 faced downwards.
- Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded aslant so that water can run off.
- All utensils are stacked securely and cannot 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 be touched.
- 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 tea cups.
- 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.
The Method of Loading Normal Dishware
Please be reminded that:
- Pots, serving bowls, etc., must always be placed top down.
- Deep pots should be slanted to allow water to flow out.
- The Bottom Basket features folding spikes so that larger or more pots and pans can be loaded.
Cutlery Basket
Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery basket with the handles at the bottom. If the rack has side baskets, the spoons should be loaded separately into the appropriate slots, especially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at the front of the upper basket as shown in the picture.
WARNING!
- Do not let any item extend through the bottom.
- Always load sharp utensils with the sharp point down!
For personal safety and a top-quality cleaning, place the silverware in the basket making sure that:
- They do not nest together.
- Silverware is placed with the handles-down.

Cleaning and Maintenance
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).
-
Main Filter
Food and soil particles trapped in this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the lower spray arm and washed down to drain. -
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 this filter, gently squeeze the tap on the top of this filter and lift it out. -
Fine Filter
This filter holds soil and food residues in the sump area and prevents it from being redeposit on the dishes during wash cycle.
Filter assembly
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 damage dishes and utensils.
Step 1：Turn the filter in anti-clockwise direction.
Step 2：Lift the filter assy up.
NOTE! When following this procedure from step1 to step 2, the filter system will be removed; when following it from Step 2 to Step 1, the filter system will be installed.
How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape
After Every Wash
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the
door slightly open 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 and a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for
dishwashers.
When not in Use for a Longtime
It is recommended 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 odors to form in the dishwasher is food that
remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will
prevent this from occurring.
Notes:
- Inspect the filters for blocking after every time the dishwasher has been used.
- By unscrewing the coarse filter, you can remove the filter system. Remove any food remnants and clean the filters under running water.
NOTE! The entire filter assembly should be cleaned once a week.
Cleaning the Filter
To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Reassemble the filter parts as shown in the figures on the last page and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning it in its seat and pressing downwards.
WARNING! When cleaning the filters, don’t knock on them. Otherwise, the filters could be contorted and the performance of the dishwasher could be decreased.
Caring for the Dishwasher
The control panel can be cleaned by using a lightly dampened cloth. After cleaning, make sure to dry it thoroughly. For the exterior, use a good appliance polish wax. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.
Cleaning The Door
To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm, damp cloth. To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.
WARNING!
- Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel as it may damage the door lock and electrical components.
- Abrasive agents or some paper towels should not be used because of the risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stainless-steel surface.
Protect Against Freezing
Please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in winter. Every time after washing cycles, please operate as follows:
- Cut off the electrical power to the dishwasher.
- Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
- Drain the water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to gather the water)
- Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
- Remove the filter at the bottom of the tub and use a sponge to soak up water in the sump.
NOTE! If your dishwasher cannot work because of the ice, please contact professional service persons.
Cleaning the Spray Arms
- It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly for hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings.
- To remove the upper spray arm, hold the nut, rotate the arm clockwise to remove it.
- To remove the lower spray arm, pull out the spray arm upward.
- Wash the arms in soapy and warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing them thoroughly.
