PRIOR TO USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
» Set the water softener.
» Add 1.5Kg dishwasher salt and then fill the salt container with water.
» Fill the Rinse Aid dispenser.
» Fill in detergent.

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.
Please follow the steps below for adjustment in salt consumption:

1. Open the door and Switch on the appliance.
2. Press the Programme button for more than 5 seconds to start the water softener setting within 60 seconds after the appliance was switched on (The Salt and Rinse Aid warning lights will be on periodically when it is in this setting mode).
3. Press the Programme button to select the proper set according to your local environment, the sets will change in the following sequence: H1->H2->.H3->H4->H5->H6;
4. Press the Power button to end the set up model.

NOTE: 2
The manufactory setting: H3
(EN 50242)

Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.
WATER SOFTENER
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes and utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt container specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.
LOADING THE SALT INTO THE SOFTENER
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as explained in the following:

ATTENTION:
» Only use salt specifically designed for the use in dishwashers. Every other type of salt not specifically designed for the use in a dishwasher, 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 just before starting one of the complete washing programmes. 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.

» After the lower basket has been removed, unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container. (1)
» Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and insert about 1.5kg of dishwasher salt.
» Fill the salt container with water. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container. (2)
» After filling the container, screw the cap tightly back on, turning clockwise.
» The salt warning light will turn off after the salt container has been filled with salt.
» Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing programme should be started. Otherwise the filter system, pump or other important parts of the machine may be damaged by salty water.

NOTE:

1. 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.
2. If there are spills of the salt, a soak or a rapid programme should be run to remove the excessive salt.

FILL THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
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
The Rinse Aid warning light in the control panel will illuminate when the dispenser needs re-filling. You can also estimate the remaining amount from the colour 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 level fall 1 / 4 full.
As the Rinse Aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the Rinse Aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below:
Full
¾ full
½ full
¼ full – Should refill to eliminate spotting
Empty

1. To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the “open” (left) arrow and lift it out.
2. Pour the Rinse Aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill.
3. Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with “open” arrow and turning it to the closed (right) arrow.

NOTE:
Clean up any Rinse Aid spilled 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 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 showing 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.
FUNCTION OF DETERGENT
Detergents with chemical ingredients 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.
ATTENTION:
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.

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 fill 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. In this case please choose a programme 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.

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 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 dishwashers. 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.

AMOUNT OF DETERGENT TO USE

NOTE:
» If the lid is closed: press release button. The lid will spring open.
» Always add the detergent just before starting each wash cycle.
» Only use branded detergent aid for dishwasher.

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

FILL THE DETERGENT DISPENSER
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:
» You find information about the amount of detergent for the single programme in the ‘Wash cycle table’.
» Please be aware, that according to the level of soiling and the specific hardness of water, differences are possible.
» Please observe the manufacturer’s recommendations on the detergent packaging.

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 programme 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.

THE FOLLOWING CUTLERY / DISHES:
ARE NOT SUITABLE
» Cutlery with wood, horn china or mother-of-pearl handles.
» Plastic items that are not heat resistant.
» Older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature resistant.
» Bonded cutlery items or dishes.

» Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing.
» Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently.

BEFORE OR AFTER LOADING
THE DISHWASHER BASKET
(For 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 amounts of leftover food. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water.
Place objects in the dishwasher in the following way:

1. Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are faced downwards.
2. Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded aslant so that water can run off.
3. All utensils are stacked securely and can not tip over.
4. 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 thatwater 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 touch.
» 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 inthe 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.

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.
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.

LOADING THE LOWER BASKET
We suggest that you place large items and the most difficult to clean items into the lower basket: such as pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure (right). It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the op spray arm.

LOADING THE BASKETS:

ADJUSTING THE UPPER BASKET
The height of the upper basket can be adjusted in order to create more space for large utensils both for the upper/lower basket. The height of the upper basket can be adjusted by placing the wheels on different height of the rails. Long items, serving cutlery, salad servers and knives should be placed on the shelf so that they do not obstruct the rotation of the spray arms.

FOLDING BACK THE CUP SHELVES
For better stacking of pots and pans, the cup shelves can be folded down as show on the right.

FOLDING SPIKES OF LOWER BASKET
For better stacking of pots and pans, the spikes can be folded down as show in the picture to the right.

CUTLERY BASKET
Arrange the cutlery in the basket as shown below. To make unloading much easier, cutlery should be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, one for spoons, etc. Spoon heads should be placed in contact with at least one of the serrated retainers on the base of the cutlery tray to ensure that water runs off them freely.

| 1.  Soup spoons
---|---
| 2. Forks
| 3. Knives
| 4. Teaspoons
| 5. Dessert spoons
| 6. Serving spoons
| 7. Serving forks
| 8. Gravy Ladle

For personal safety and top quality cleaning, place the silverware in the basket making sure that:
» They do not nest together.
» Silverware is placed with the handles down.

WARNING:
Do not let any item extend through the bottom of the basket, or extend high above. This will prevent damage to the base of the dishwasher and allow the spray arm to work correctly.
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 withthe sharp point down.

TURNING ON THE APPLIANCE
Starting a wash cycle:
» Pull out the lower and upper baskets, load the dishes and push them back. It is recommended to load the lower basket first, then the upper one (see the section entitled “Loading the Dishwasher”).
» Pour in the detergent (see the section entitled Salt, Detergent and Rinse Aid).
» Insert the plug into the socket. The power supply is 220-240 VAC /50 HZ, the specification of the socket is 10A 250VAC. Make sure that the water supply is turned on to full pressure.
» Open the door, press the power button, and the On/Off light will turn on.
» Press the program Button , the wash program will be changed as follows direction: Intensive->Normal->ECO->90Min->Rapid;

CHANGE THE PROGRAMME
» A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has only been running for a short time. Otherwise, the detergent may have already been released, and the appliance may have already drained the wash water. If this is the case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled (see the section entitled “Loading the Detergent“).
» Open the door, press the Programme button for 3 seconds, the machine will be in standby state, then you can change the programme to the desired cycle setting (see the section entitled “Starting a wash cycle”).

NOTE:
If you open the door during a wash cycle, the machine will pause. The programme light will stop blinking and the buzzer will sound every minute until you close the door. After you close the door, the machine will continue working again.

FORGOT TO ADD A DISH
A forgotten dish can be added any time before the detergent cap opens:
» Open the door a little.
» After the spray arms stop working, you can open the door completely
» Add forgotten dishes
» Close the door
» The dishwasher will start running again
AT THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE
When the working cycle has finished, the buzzer of the dishwasher will sound for 8 seconds, then stop. Turn off the appliance using the ON/OFF button, shut off the water supply (if connected to tap only) and open the door of the dishwasher.
Wait for a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid handling the dishes and utensils while they are still hot and more susceptible to breakage. They will also dry better.
SWITCH OFF THE DISHWASHER
The programme light is on but is not blinking, only in this case the programme has ended.

1. Open the door. Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the ON/OFF button.
2. Turn off the water tap (if not plumbed into mains water supply).

OPEN THE DOOR CAREFULLY
Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down around 15 minutes before removing from the appliance.
Open the dishwasher’s door, leave it ajar and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes. In this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.
UNLOADING THE DISHWASHER
It is normal that the dishwasher is wet inside.
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.
WARNING:
It is dangerous to open the door during a wash cycle, because the hot water or steam may scald you.

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).

1. MAIN FILTER
   Food and soil particles trapped in this filter are pulverized by a specialjet on the lower spray arm and washed down to 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 residues in the sump area and prevents it from being deposited 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, turn the filter anti-clockwise and pull the filter in the upwards 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 assembly up.

NOTE:
Reverse these steps to re install the filter.
REMARKS
» 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 remnantsand 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 previous page and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher.
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:

1. Cut off the electrical power to the dishwasher.
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 dishwasher and use a sponge to soak up water in the sump.

NOTE:
If your dishwasher cannot work because of the ice build up, please contact a qualified plumber or serviceman.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS
It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly as 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 warm soapy water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing them thoroughly.

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 odours 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 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 odours 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 causes 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.

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.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Please look at the rating label to know the rating voltage and connect the dishwasher to the appropriate power supply. Use the required 10 amp fuse, time delay fuse or circuit breaker recommended and provide separate circuit serving only this appliance.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Ensure the voltage and frequency of the power corresponds to those on the rating label. 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 adapter as they could cause overheating and burns.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in the risk of an electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance, if it is not fit for the outlet. Have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
COLD WATER CONNECTION
Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4(inch) connector and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place. If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk that the water inlet can get blocked and damage the appliance.
WARNING:
Please close the hydrant after using.
ATTENTION:
After installation, please make sure to keep this manual. The content of this manual is very helpful to the users.
POSITIONING THE APPLIANCE
