Remove all packaging materials inside the machine.
Fill the salt reservoir and fill it up with water until it almost overflows. Set the water hardness setting.
Fill the rinse aid reservoir.

FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR

For a good washing result, the dishwasher needs soft, i.e. less calcareous water. Otherwise, white lime residues will remain on the dishes and the interior of the dishwasher. This has a negative effect on your appliance’s washing, drying, and shining performance. For this purpose, dishwasher salt is used.

• Remove the basket and unscrew the cap of the salt reservoir (1).
• Fill with salt till the overflow level, about 1.0 kg (2).
• Fill the reservoir before first use with water. It is normal for a little water to flow out of the opening when doing this.
• Screw the cap back on firmly.

ATTENTION!

• Remove any spilled salt and run a full program Open to prevent corrosion to the bottom.
• Refill the salt reservoir when the indicator light of the salt reservoir lights up.

SETTING THE SALT CONSUMPTION
To find out the water hardness level in your area, contact your local water company. Adjust the salt consumption according to the table on the next page.
Note! The hardness level is adjusted to level 4 as a factory setting.

• Close the door and switch on the machine.
• Press and hold the Program button P for 5 seconds to enter the mode for setting the salt consumption. This must be set within 60 seconds after turning the machine on. ·
• Set the level by pressing Program button P repeatedly. Use the table of water hardness level settings.
• After adjusting the level of water hardness, press the On/Off button to confirm and store the setting. If the setting is not confirmed, it is stored automatically after 5 seconds.

FILLING WITH RINSE AID AND SETTING THE CONSUMPTION
Rinse aid is used to prevent traces of water droplets from being left on the clean dishes. It also increases the drying performance, since the water drains off more easily. Only use rinse aid which is designed for use in dishwashers.

• The rinse aid reservoir is located on the inside of the door, alongside the detergent reservoir.

• Unscrew the cap of the rinse aid reservoir (1).

• Fill the rinse aid reservoir until the rinse aid level indicator turns dark (2).

• full 3/4

• full 1/2

• full 1/4

• full should refill to eliminate spotting

• empty

• Replace the cap and make sure it lines up with the indication marks (3).

• The rinse aid level can be adjusted between the setting 1 and 6. The factory setting for rinse aid is level 4.

Unscrew the cap and use a large screwdriver to set the correct level (3). You need to increase the level of rinse aid when water stains form on your dishes after a wash program. Decrease it when strips or blue stains form on the dishes. Keep adjusting the level until the dishes are streak-free when you take them out of the dishwasher.

Attention!

• Refill the rinse aid reservoir when the rinse aid indicator lights up.
• Do not overfill the rinse aid reservoir. The reservoir will overflow.
• Spilled rinse aid must be cleaned up. Otherwise, they may lead to leakage as a result of extreme foaming.

DISHWASHER DETERGENTS

Use a detergent specifically designed for use in domestic dishwashers. You can find it in powder, gel capsules, and tablets. Detergent must be placed into the reservoir before starting the dishwasher. Keep the detergents stored in a cool, dry place and out of reach of children. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately and take the packaging with you. Do not fill more detergent than required in the reservoir; otherwise, it may cause scratches on your glasses as well as lead to a poorly dissolved detergent. · Push the latch (1) to open the detergent reservoir. The detergent reservoir has level lines inside. It is possible to measure the right amount of detergent using these lines.

• Fill the large compartment (2a) with detergent powder or a detergent tablet. Pour a small amount of detergent powder in the small pre-wash compartment (2b) when there are dried food wastes in the dishes and when the dishwasher is overly loaded.
• Close the lid, close the door and start the dishwasher.
• Depending on the water hardness and the amount of dirt on the dishes add extra detergent.
• Do not fill the detergent into the dispenser until you are ready to start the dishwasher.

Detergent manufacturers also produce combined detergents called 2-in-1, 3-in-1, 5-in-1 etc. Generally, combined detergents produce sufficient results under certain usage conditions only.
Observe the instructions on the packaging when using a combined product. Never put the detergent tablet into the interior section or in the cutlery basket of the dishwasher. Always put the tablet into the detergent reservoir. When using short wash cycles it is possible the tablet does not dissolve fully.
Therefore use detergent tablets only in combination with a long wash cycle, so that the detergent tablet has time to fully dissolve.

Loading your dishwasher

Properly placing your dishes into the dishwasher has a positive effect on energy consumption and washing and drying performance.
Remove larger food residues from the dirty dishes. It is not necessary to rinse the dirty dishes before placing them in the dishwasher. The basket is for cups and saucers, mugs, bowls, plates, and glasses. Items such as cups, glasses, pots, and pans must be placed in the basket with the opening facing down. The maximum diameter of plates that fit in the basket is 26 cm. Wine glasses and long-stem glasses must be placed against the edge of the basket, rack or glass supporter wire and not against other items. Long, small cooking utensils, such as wooden spoons, should be placed lying down in the middle of the upper basket.
The cutlery basket is designed for cutlery. Sharp items of cutlery, such as knives and forks should be placed with their sharp points facing down. Place the cutlery piece by piece in a compartment to ensure the spray arms can reach every part.
WARNING: do not let any item extend through the bottom of the basket.
WARNING: place your dishes into your dishwasher in a way that they will not prevent the spray arm from spinning.

• The duration of the program can vary on the basis of the number of dishes, the water temperature, the ambient temperature, and the selected extra functions, except in the case of the ECO program.
• The eco program is suitable to clean normally soiled dishes. It is the most efficient program because of the combined energy and water consumption and it complies with the EU ecodesign legislation.

NOTE: The energy consumption values of the eco-program can differ according to regulations 10/16/2010 and 1059/2010. The table complies with regulations 2019/2022 and 2017/2022.

• When the appliance is used according to the instructions of the manufacturer, washing dishes in a household dishwasher usually consumes less energy and water during the use phase compared to hand-washing dishes.
• Short programs do not include drying.
• Only use powder detergent when you choose a short program.
• To assist with drying, we recommend opening the door 15 cm after a cycle is complete.

SAVING ENERGY

1. Pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy consumption and is not recommended.
2. Washing tableware in a household dishwasher usually consumes less energy and water in the use phase than hand dishwashing when the household dishwasher is used according to the instructions.

Cleaning & maintenance

Cleaning the dishwasher regularly prolongs the dishwasher’s service life.
Check before cleaning the dishwasher if it is turned off. Unplug the dishwasher and turn off the tap.
Clean the outside of the dishwasher with a damp cloth. To prevent odors from forming within the dishwasher, clean the seals of the door regularly with a soft damp cloth.
To prevent the dishwasher from getting clogged, we advise cleaning the dishwasher regularly with a special cleanser. Fill the detergent reservoir with detergent, select a cycle with a high temperature and start the program. If this is insufficient, use a special cleanser for the dishwasher and follow the instructions on the packaging.
Clean the filters and the spray arm once a week.

CLEANING THE FILTERS

Check once a week if there is any residue on the filters. Remove the filters and clean them thoroughly under the water tap.
The filter system consists of three components:

• sieve (A)
• filter – fine (B)
• filter – coarse (C)

1. To remove the filters, turn the filter (B) anti-clockwise

2. Pull it (B and C) upwards.

3. Pull the coarse filter (C) from the fine filter (B) and clean both parts with warm water using a dishwashing brush.

4. Take the sieve (A) out of the dishwasher and clean it with warm water and if needed a dishwashing brush. Place the sieve back in the dishwasher.

5. Place the coarse filter in the fine filter with the markings lined. Re-fit the filters in the sieve and turn it clockwise to fixe it.

• Do not use the dishwasher when there are no filters in place.
• Incorrect fitting of one of the filters will result in the dishwasher no longer delivering maximum performance.
• Make sure the filters are clean. This ensures the proper functioning of the dishwasher.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARM
Check the nozzles of the spray arm regularly for waste. Waste can block the nozzles and bear in the spray arm. Remove the clogging in the spray arm and clean them with warm water.

• Remove the spray arm by pulling it upwards.
• Clean the spray arm with warm water.
• Make sure the spray arm is perfectly locked when refitting the spray arm.

CLEANING THE 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 cuts! When cleaning the wastewater pump, ensure that you do not injure yourself on pieces of broken glass or pointed implements.

• First, always disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
• Take out the basket.
• Remove the filters.
• Scoop out the water, and use a sponge or cloth if required.
• Check the area and remove any foreign objects.
• Install the filters.
