BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

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.
• Fill the rinse aid compartment.

Salt Usage
For a good washing function, the dishwasher needs soft, i.e. less calcareous water. Otherwise, white lime residues will remain on the dishes and the interior equipment. This will negatively affect your machine’s washing, drying and shining performance. When water flows through the softener system, the ions forming the hardness are removed from the water and the water reaches the softness required to obtain the best washing result. Depending on the level of hardness of the inflowing water, these ions that harden the water accumulate rapidly inside the softener system. Therefore, the softener system has to be refreshed so that it operates with the same performance also during the next wash. For this purpose, dishwasher salt is used. Your machine should only use special dishwasher salt to soften the water. Do not use any small grained or powdered type of salts which are easily soluble. Using any other type of salt can damage your machine.

Fill the salt
To add softener salt, open the salt compartment cap by turning it counter clockwise. (1) (2) At first use, fill the compartment with 1 kg salt and water (3) until it is almost overflowing. If available, using a funnel (4) will make filling easier. Replace the cap and close it. After every 20-30 Cycles add salt into your machine
until it fills up (approx. 1 kg).

• Only add water to the salt compartment on first use.
• Use softener salt specifically produced for use in dishwashers.
• When you start your dishwasher, the salt compartment is filled with water, therefore put the softener salt in prior to starting your machine.
• If the softener salt has overflowed and you do not start the machine immediately, run a short washing program to protect your machine against corrosion.

Test Strip

NOTE: The level is set to 3 as default. If the water is well water or has a hardness level above 90 dF, we recommend that you use filter and refinement devices.

6| 35-50| 61-90| 43-63| L6 is shown on the display.

Water Softener System
The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which reduces the hardness in the mains water supply. To find out the hardness level of your tap water, contact your water company or use a test strip (if available).

Setting
In order to change the salt level, follow the below steps:

• Open the door of the machine.
• Turn on the machine, and press the Program button as soon as the machine is turned on.
• Hold down the Program button until “SL” disappears.
• The machine will display the last setting.
• Set the level by pressing the Program button.
• Turn off the machine to save the setting.

Detergent Use
Only use detergents specifically designed for domestic dishwashers. Keep your detergents in cool, dry places out of reach of children. Add the proper detergent for the selected program to ensure the best performance. The amount of detergent needed depends on the cycle, load size, and soil level of dishes. Do not overfill the detergent compartment. Otherwise you can see whitish streaks or bluish layers on glass and dishes which may cause glass corrosion. Continued over-use of detergent may cause machine damage. Using too little detergent can result in poor cleaning and you may see whitish hard water. See the detergent manufacturer’s instructions for further information.

Filling with Detergent
Push the latch to open the dispenser and pour in the detergent. Close the lid and press it until it locks in place. The dispenser should be refilled just before the start of each program. If the dishes are heavily soiled, place additional detergent in the pre-wash detergent chamber.

Using Combined Detergents

• These products should be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Never put combined detergents into the interior section or the cutlery basket.
• Combined detergents contain not only
• the detergent but also rinse-aid, salt replacement substances and additional components depending on the combination.
• We recommend you do not use combined detergents in short program.
• Please use powder detergents in such program.
• If you encounter problems when using combined detergents, please contact the detergent manufacturer.
• When you stop using combined detergents, make sure that water hardness and rinse aid settings are set to the correct level.

Rinse-Aid Use
Rinse aid helps to dry the dishes without streaks and stains. Rinse-aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses. The rinse aid is automatically released during the hot rinse phase. If an in-sufficient amount of rinse aid is used, whitish stains may be left on the dishes and drying and washing performance will be impaired. If too much rinse aid is used you may see bluish layers on glass and dishes.

Filling the Rinse-aid and Setting
To fill the rinse aid compartment, open the rinse-aid compartment cap. Fill the compartment with rinse aid to the MAX level and then close the cap. Be careful not to overfill the rinse aid compartment and wipe up any spills.
In order to change the rinse aid level, follow the below steps before turning on the machine:

• Open the door of the machine.
• Turn on the machine, and press the Program button as soon as the machine is turned on.
• Hold down the program button until “rA” disappears. Rinse aid setting follows water hardness setting.
• The machine will display the last setting. Change the level by pressing the Program button.
• Turn off the machine to save the setting.
• The factory setting is “4”.
• If the dishes are not drying properly or are spotted, increase the level. If blue stains form on your dishes, decrease the level.

LOADING YOUR DISHWASHER

• For best results, follow these loading guidelines.
• Loading the household dishwasher up to the capacity indicated by the manufacturer will contribute to energy and water savings.
• Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy consumption and is not recommended You can place cups, glasses, stemware, small plates, bowls, etc. in upper basket. Do not lean long glasses against
• one another or they cannot remain steady and may be damaged.
• When placing long stem glasses and goblets, lean them against the basket edge or rack and not against other items.
• Place all containers such as cups, glasses and pots into the dishwasher with the opening facing downwards otherwise water can collect on items.
• If there is a cutlery basket in your machine, you are recommended to use the cutlery grid in order to obtain the best result. Place all large (pots, pans, lids, plates, bowls etc.) and very dirty items in the lower rack.
• Dishes and cutlery should not be placed above each other.
• Take care not to obstruct the rotation of spray arms.
• Make sure after loading the dishes do not prevent opening of the detergent dispenser.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning your dishwasher is important to maintain the machine’s service life. Make sure that the water softening setting is set correctly and the correct amount of detergent is used to prevent limescale accumulation. Refill the salt compartment when the salt sensor light comes on.

• Oil and limescale may build up in your Dishwasher over time. If this occurs:
• Fill the detergent compartment but do not load any dishes. Select a program which runs at a high temperature and run the Dishwasher empty. If this does not clean your Dishwasher sufficiently, use a cleaning agent designed for use with dishwashers.
• To extend the life of your dishwasher, clean the appliance regularly each month
• Wipe the door seals regularly with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated residue or foreign objects.

Filters
Clean the filters and spray arms at least once a week. If any food waste remains or foreign objects on the coarse and fine filters, remove them and clean them thoroughly with water.

• Micro Filter
• Coarse Filter
• Metal Filter

To remove and clean the filter combination, turn it counter clockwise and remove it by lifting it upwards (1).Pull the coarse filter out of the micro filter (2).Then pull and remove the metal filter (3).Rinse the filter with lots of water until it is free of residue. Reassemble the filters. Replace the filter insert, and
rotate it clockwise (4).

• Never use your dishwasher without a filter.
• Incorrect fitting of the filter will reduce the washing effectiveness.
• Clean filters are necessary for proper running of the machine.

Spray arms
Make sure that the spray holes are not clogged and that no food waste or foreign object is stuck to the spray arms. If there is any clogging,remove the spray arms and clean them under water. To remove the upper spray arm undo the nut holding it in position by turning it clockwise and pulling it downwards. Make sure that the nut is properly tightened when refitting the upper spray arm.

Drain Pump
Large food residues or foreign objects which were not captured by the filters may block the waste water pump. The rinsing water will then be above the filter.

Warning Risk of Injury!
When cleaning the waste water pump, ensure that you do not injure yourself on pieces of broken glass or pointed implements.

In this case:

1.  First always disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
2.  Take out baskets.
3.  Remove the filters.
4.  Scoop out water, use a sponge if required.
5.  Check the area and remove any foreign objects.
6.  Install filters.
7.  Re-insert baskets.
