USE

GETTING STARTED
PREPARING YOUR DISHWASHER FOR FIRST USE

• Make sure the electricity and supply water specifications match the values indicated in the installation instructions for the machine.
• Remove all packaging material inside the machine.
• Set the water softener level according to the instructions in this manual (depending on model).
• Set the rinse-aid dosage according to the instructions in this manual.

SETTING THE WATER SOFTENER (DEPENDING ON MODEL)
The dishwasher needs soft water for good cleaning results. Hard water results in a build-up of limescale deposits on dishware and in the dishwasher. Your dishwasher has a special water softening system to remove tap water hardness. Setting this system correctly will increase washing effectiveness.
Water supplies with a hardness level higher than 5 gpg (9° f) need to be softened.
If the hardness level of the water that you use is above 53 gpg (90° f) or if you are using well water, then we recommend using filter and water purification devices.
The dishwasher is preset at level 1 (inactive) water hardness. If this setting matches the hardness of your water, you do not need to do anything else. The dishwasher must be programmed for the water hardness of your area.
To find out the water hardness level of your area, contact your local Water Board, or determine the water hardness level using the test strip provided.
WARNING
If you move to a different location, the water hardness level could be different. It is essential to reset the water hardness in order to obtain optimum washing efficiency.
Follow the steps in the image when using the test strip.
NOTE The level is set to 1 as default. If the water is well water or has a hardness level above 90 dF, we recommend using filter and refinement devices.
WATER HARDNESS TABLE

Adjust the water hardness setting of your machine according to the level specified on the test strip (if available).
In order to change the water hardness level, follow the steps below:

1. Turn on the machine and press the “Start/Pause + On/ Off” button for 3 seconds until – appears on the display with an audible warning, then release the “Start/Pause + On/Off” button
2. Press and hold the “Program Selection + Cancel” button until SL appears on the display. The machine will display the last setting set
3. Adjust the water hardness level by pressing the “Program Selection + Cancel” button
4. Turn the dishwasher off by pressing the “Start/Pause + On/Off” button to save the selected level.

WARNING
In order for the water softening system to work properly, the dishwasher must be filled with dishwasher salt before the first wash. See instructions in the salt dispenser chapter.
PLATE ARRANGEMENT
If you place your dishes into the machine properly, you will be using it in the best way in terms of energy consumption, washing and drying performance.
Into the lower basket, you can load round and deep items such as pots with long handles, pot lids, plates, salad plates, cutlery sets. The upper basket has been designed for dessert plates, salad bowls, cups and glasses. When placing long stem glasses and goblets, lean them against the basket edge, rack or glass supporter wire and not against other items. Do not lean long glasses against one another or they will lose their balance and may be damaged. It is more appropriate to place thin narrow parts into the middle sections of baskets. You can place spoons among other cutlery sets in order to prevent them from sticking to one another.
We recommend that you use the cutlery grid for best results. To avoid possible injury, always place long-handled  and sharp-pointed utensils such as serving forks, breadknives, etc., with their sharp points facing downwards or horizontally on the baskets.
WARNING Place your dishes into your machine so that they will not prevent the upper and lower spray arms from spinning.
WARNING Do not put into the appliance items that can absorb water (sponges, dishcloths).
NOTE Place all containers such as cups, glasses and pots into the dishwasher with the opening facing downwards (so that they cannot collect water).
NOTE Dishes and cutlery should not be placed above one another.
NOTE Do not overload your dishwasher and pay attention to manufacturer instructions regarding dishes which are appropriate for use in a dishwasher. Only with suitable dishes (mentioned in section 5) will you obtain optimal washing results with a sensible use of energy.
High temperature water and dishwasher detergent may form a chemical synthesis that can damage certain items.
WARNING
Be careful when loading and unloading sharp items. Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of personal injury.
Follow the steps below before loading dishwasher.

1. Open the door.
2.  Remove leftover food remains from tableware.
3. Load the dishwasher.

NOTE
If you open the door while the appliance is running, all functions are automatically interrupted. Once the door is closed, functions will resume operation.

DETERGENT & RINSE-AID DISPENSER
WARNING
Only use detergents specifically designed for household dishwashers.
You can find powder, gel, and tablet detergents in the market that have been designed for household dishwashers. Add the proper detergent for the selected program to ensure the best performance. Use less detergent if the dishes are only lightly soiled. Using excess detergent can leave a film on dishes and in the dishwasher resulting in poor wash performance.
NOTE
The amount of detergent needed depends on the cycle, load size, and soil level of dishes. Too much detergent in soft water may cause glass corrosion and does not dissolve in water.
WARNING
Do not use too much detergent if your water supply is soft.
WARNING
Keep your detergents in a cool, dry place out of the reach of children. See the detergent manufacturer’s instructions for further information.
WARNING
Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with short programs. To prevent detergent residue on tableware, we recommend using tablets with long programs.
WARNING
Do not use detergent in the Rinse cycle (depending on model). If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15 ml/ 3 tsp detergent. Increase the amount of detergent if you see white watermarks, especially on the surface of glassware.
Should you need more information concerning the detergent you intend to use, contact the detergent manufacturers directly. Check that the detergent dispenser is empty after the completion of each wash program.
