LOADING THE SALT INTO THE SOFTENER
WARNING
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.

WARNING
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.

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.

Type 1:

1. Pull out the upper basket.
2. Remove the upper basket.
3. Re-attach the upper basket to upper or lower rollers.
4. Push in the upper basket.

Type 2:

1. To raise the the upper basket, just lift 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. You can also remove it when it is not required for use.

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.

Installation instructions

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard! Disconnect electrical power before installing dishwasher. Failure to do so could result in death or electrical shock.

ATTENTION
The installation of the pipes and electrical equipments should be done by professionals.

ABOUT POWER 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 fuse 10A/13A/16A, 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 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 a adaptors or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.

WARNING
Ensure that proper earthing exists before use

WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN
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. This precaution is needed to avoid the risk of the water inlet to be blocked and damage the appliance.

About the safety supply hose
The safety supply hose consists of the double walls. The system guarantees its intervention by blocking the flow of water in case of the supply hose breaking and when the air space between the supply hose itself and the outer corrugated hose is full of water.

WARNING
A hose that attaches to a tap can burst if it is installed on the same water line as the dishwasher. If your sink has one, it is recommended that the hose be disconnected and the hole plugged.

How to connect the safety supply hose

1. Pull the safety supply hoses out from storage compartment located at rear of dishwasher.
2. Tighten the screws of the safety supply hose to the faucet with thread 3/4inch.
3. Turn the water fully on before starting the dishwasher.

How to disconnect the safety supply hose

1. Turn off the water.
2. Unscrew the safety supply hose from the faucet.

CONNECTION OF DRAIN HOSES

Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4 cm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. The height of drain pipe must be less than 1000 mm. The free end of the hose must not be immersed in water to avoid the back flow of it.

NOTE
Please securely fix the drain hose in either position A or position B

How to drain excess water from hoses
If the connection to the drain pipe is positioned higher than 1000 mm, excess water may remain in the drain hose. It will be necessary to drain excess water from the hose into a bowl or suitable container that is held outside and lower than the sink.

Water outlet
Connect the water drain hose. The drain hose must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks. Ensure that the water drain hose is not kinked or squashed.

Extension hose
If you need a drain hose extension, make sure to use a similar drain hose. It must not be longer than 4 meters, otherwise the cleaning effect of the dishwasher could be reduced.

Syphon connection
The waste connection must be at a height less than 1000 mm (maximum) from the bottom of the dishwasher.

POSITIONING THE APPLIANCE
Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or walls. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned either to the right or the left sides to facilitate proper installation.

Levelling the appliance
Once the appliance is positioned for levelling, the height of the dishwasher may be altered via adjustment of the screwing level of the feet. In any case, the appliance should not be inclined more than 2°.

FREE STANDING INSTALLATION

Fitting between existing cabinets
The height of the dishwasher, 845 mm, has been designed in order to allow the machine to be fitted between existing cabinets of the same height in modern fitted kitchens. The laminated top of the machine does not require any particular care since it is heatproof, scratchproof and stainproof.

Underneath existing work top
(When fitting beneath a work top)
In most modern fitted kitchens there is only one single work top under which cabinets and electrical appliances are fitted. In this case remove the work top of the dishwasher by unscrewing the screws under the rear edge of the top (a).

ATTENTION
After removing the work top, the screws must be screwed again under the rear edge of the top (b).

Loading the baskets according to EN60436

Operation (Button)

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 optimise and customise the level of salt consumption. Please follow the steps below for adjustment in salt consumption.

1. Close 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, the salt indicator blinks as 1Hz frequency.
3. Press the Program button again to select the proper set according to your local environment, 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 setting mode.

1°dH=1.25°Clarke=1.78

The factory setting: H3

1. Every cycle with a regeneration operation consumes additional 2.0 litres of water, the energy consumption increases by 0.02 kWh and the program extents by 4 minutes.

NOTE
If your model does not have any water softener, you may skip this section: 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.

PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES

• Consider buying utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof.
• For particular items, select a program with the lowest possible temperature.
• To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately after the program has ended.

For washing the following cutlery/dishes
Are not suitable

• Cutlery with wooden, 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
• Pewter or cooper items
• Crystal glass
• Steel items subject to rusting
• Wooden platters
• Items made from synthetic fibres

Are of limited suitability

• Some types of glasses can become dull after a large number of washes
• Silver and aluminum parts have a tendency to discolor during washing
• Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently

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:

• Items 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!

FUNCTION OF THE RINSE AID AND DETERGENT

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 run off the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids.

WARNING
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
The regularity of the dispenser needing to be refilled depends on how often dishes are washed and the rinse aid setting used.

• The Low Rinse Aid indicator ( ) will appear in the display when more rinse aid is needed.
• Do not overfill the rinse aid dispenser.

Function of detergent
The chemical ingredients that compose the detergent are necessary to remove, crush and dispense all dirt out of the dishwasher. Most of the commercial quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.

WARNING
Proper Use of Detergent

• Use only detergent specifically made for dishwashers use. Keep your detergent fresh and dry.
• Do not fill detergent into the dispenser until you are ready to start the dishwasher
• Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children.

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.
