DISHWASHER FEATURES

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
A. Fill the rinse aid dispenser
B. Function of detergent

A. FILL THE RINSE AID DISPENSER

Function of Rinse Aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, 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
You can judge the amount of rinse-aid by the colour of the optical level indicator “D” 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 get below 1 / 4 full. As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below.

RINSE AID DISPENSER

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, be careful not to overfill.
3. Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with “open” arrow and turning it to the “closed” (right) arrow. The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes that can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to sheet off the dishes. Your dishwashers are 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 140ml. Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, because this could cause over sudsing. Wipe away any spills with a damp cloth. Don’t forget to replace the cap before you close dishwasher door.
   Attention! Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.

Adjusting Rise Aid Dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser has four or six settings. Always start with the dispenser set on “4” If spots and poor drying are problems, 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 spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number until your dishes are spot-free. The dose is factory set in position 5.
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 streaks on the dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

B. FUNCTION OF DETERGENT
Detergents with its chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport it out of the dishwasher. Most of commercial quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.

Concentrated Detergent
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher can be split in two basic types:

• conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components
• low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes
  The use of “normal” washing programme in conjunction with concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; these washing programmes are specially matched to the dirtdissolving properties of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For this reason”normal” washing programme in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that can otherwise only be achieved using”intensive” programme.

Detergent Tablets
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent 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 washing cycle following the instructions provided in the Wash Cycle Table. Your dishwashers use less detergent and rinse aid than conventional dishwashers. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.

Amount of Detergent To Use

NOTE:

1. If the lid is closed: press release button. The lid springs open.
2. 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 Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put powder detergent into the dispenser until you’re ready to wash dishes.

FILL IN THE DETERGENT

Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent.
The marking indicates the dosing levels, as illustrated on the right:

1. Main wash cycle detergent MIN means approximately 20g of detergent dispenser.
2. The place of pre-wash cycle detergent dispenser, approximately 5g of detergent.

Please observe the manufacturer’s 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 on the last page. Please be aware that according to the level soiling and the specific hardness of water, differences are possible. Please observe the manufacturer’s recommendations on the detergent packaging.

Use of “3 in 1” Detergent Tablets

For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of baskets and Cutlery tray may vary from your model.

Attention before or after Loading the Dishwasher Baskets

1. Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water. Place objects in the dishwasher in the following way:
   A. Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are stood upside down.
   B. Curve items, or those with recesses, should be at a slant so that water can run off.
   C. They are stacked securely and can not tip over.
   D. They do not prevent the spray arms from rotating while washing takes place.

2. Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the Baskets.

3. The upper and lower baskets can not be pulled out at the same time when the dishwasher is loading, or it may lead to dumping.

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 cup 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 do not get Moved by the Spray of water.

Adjusting the Upper Basket

If required, the height of the upper basket can be adjusted in order to create more space for large utensils either in the upper basket or lower basket. The upper basket can be adjusted for height by putting wheels of different height into the rails. Long items, serving cutlery, salad servers or knives should be placed on the shelf so that they do not obstruct the rotation of the spray arms. The shelfcan be folded back or removed when not be required for use.

Loading the Lower Basket

We recommend that you place large items which are most difficult to clean in to the lower basket: 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 baskets in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm. 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 fold down tine rows so that larger or more pots and pans can be loaded.

Upper and Lower basket folding racks

Folding racks consisting of two parts that are located on the upper / lower basket of your machine are designed in order to let you place big items easier such as pots, pans, etc. If preferred, each part can be folded separately, or all of them can be folded and larger can be obtained. You can use folding racks by rasing then upwards, or by folding.

Cutlery tray
Arrange the cutlery in the tray as shown. Cutlery should be placed to ensure that water runs off freely.

For washing in the dishwasher 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 is not temperature resistant
• Bonded cutlery items or dishes
• Pewter or cooper items
• Lead crystal glass
• Steel items subject to rusting
• Wooden platters
• Items made from synthetic fibre

WARNING! Do not let any item extend through bottom Are of limited suitability. Some types of glasses can become dull after a large number of washes. Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing. Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently.

NOTE : Do not put in items that are dirty of cigarette ash, candle wax, lacquer or paint. If you buy new dishes please make sure that they are suitable for dishwashers.

STARTING A WASH PROGRAMME

NOTE : Please do not overload your dishwasher. There is only space for 9 standard dishes. Do not use dish that is not suitable form dishwashers. This is important for good results and for reasonable energy consumption.

Loading Cutlery and Dishes
Before loading the dishes, you should: Remove large left-overs. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans.

When Loading the Dishes and Cutlery, Please Note:
Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms. Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. with the opening 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 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.

Attention: 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 in the upper basket.

Damage to Glassware and other Dishes
Possible causes:

• Type of glass or manufacturing process. Chemical composition of detergent.
• Water temperature and duration of dishwasher programme.

Suggested remedy:

• Use glassware or porcelain dishes that have been marked dishwasher-proof by the manufacturer.
• Use a mild detergent that is prescribed for the kind of dishes. If necessary, seek further information from detergent manufacturers.
• Select a programme with a low temperature.
• To prevent damage, take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the programme has ended.

At the End of the Wash
When the wash cycle has finished, the buzzer of dishwasher will ring for 6 times, then stop. Turn off the appliance using the “Power“ button, shut off the water supply and open the door of the dishwasher. Wait 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.

The 6 programme lights show the state of the dishwasher:
a) All program lights off –> stand by
b) One of the program lights on –> cycle running
c) One of the program lights blinking –> pause

Forget to Add Dish
A forgotten dish can be added any time before the detergent dispenser opens.

1. Open the door a little to stop the washing.
2. After the spray arms stop working, you can open the door completely.
3. Add forgotten dishes.
4. Close the door, the dishwasher will work after ten seconds.

WARNING! It is dangerous to open the door when washing, because the hot water may scald you.

Switch Off the Dishwasher
The digital display appears “—” and the buzzer rings 6 times, only in this case the programme has ended.

1. Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the “ Power “ button.

2. Turn off the water tap!
   Open the door carefully. Hot steam may escape when the door is opened!

   • 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.

The filter is used to avoid the big remnants and other sundries getting inside the pump. The residue can obstruct the filter in overtime.

The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (Main filter) and a micro filter (fine filter).

1. Flat filter
   Food and debris will be trapped by a special jet on the lower spray arm.

2. Coarse filter
   Big debris, such as bone and glass that could clog the drain will be trapped in the coarse filter. To remove an item caught in this filter, gently squeeze the taps on the top of this filter and lift it out.

3. Micro filter
   This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being redeposit on the dishes during a cycle.

   • Inspect the filters for obstructions every time the dishwasher has been used.
   • By unscrewing the coarse filter, you can remove the filter system. Remove any food remnants and clean the filters under running water.
     NOTE : If operate from step 1 to step 2, the filter system will be removed; while operate from step 2 to step 1, the filter system will be installed.

Filter assembly

For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned. The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle. 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 assembly, pull on the cup handle in the upward direction. The entire filter assembly should be cleaned once a week. To clean the coarse filter and the micro filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter parts as shown in the figures above and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat and pressing downward. 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.

Warning!
Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place. When cleaning the filters, don’t knock on them. Otherwise, the filters could be contorted and the performance of dishwasher could be debased.

Cleaning the Spray Arms
It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly for hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings. To remove the spray arms, screw off the nut clockwise to take out the washer on top of the spray arm and remove the arm. Wash the arms in soapy and warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing thoroughly.

Caring for the Dishwasher
To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened cloth then dry thoroughly. To clean the exterior, use a good appliance polish wax. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

Protect Against Freezing
If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technical to:

1. Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3. Drain water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to catch the water)
4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
5. Remove the filter in the tub and the bottom and use a sponge to use up water in sump.

Cleaning the Door
To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm, damp rag. To prevent penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind. Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they will scratch the finish. Some papers towels can also scratch or leave marks on the surface.
Warning! Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel for it could damage the door lock and electrical components. It is not allowed to use the abrasive agent or some paper towels because of the risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stainless steel surface.

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 ajar so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside.
Remove the Plug
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket. Do not run risks.

No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Use only a cloth and warm soapy water. To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.

When You Go on holiday
When you go on holiday, it is recommended 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 ajar. This will help the seals last longer and prevent odors from forming in 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 odors to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this.
Attention: The installation of the pipes and electrical equipments should be done by professionals.

INSTALLATION

Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future reference. If the appliance is sold, given away or moved, please ensure the manual is kept with the machine, so that the new owner may benefit from the advice contained within it. Please read this instruction manual carefully: it contains important information regarding the safe installation, use and maintenance of the appliance. If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its back.

Positioning and leveling

1. Remove the appliance from all packaging and check that it has not been damaged during transportation. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed and further with the installation process.
2. Check the dishwasher by placing it so that its sides or back panel are in contact with the adjacent cabinets or even with the wall. This appliance can also be recessed under a single worktop (see the Assembly instruction sheet).
3. Position the dishwasher on a level and sturdy floor. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance may be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position (the angle of inclination must not exceed 2 degrees). If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to move or cause vibrations and noise while it is operation.

Connecting the water and electricity supplies
Connection to the water and electricity supplies should only be performed by a qualified technician. The dishwasher should not stand on top of the water hoses or the electricity supply cable The appliance must be connected to the water supply network using new hose sets. Do not use old hose sets.

Connecting the water inlet hose
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 the appliance could be damaged.

Connecting the water outlet hose
Fit the drainage hose of your machine to the drainage pipe without bending. If the length of the hose is not sufficient, apply to the authorized service for an extension made from the same material as the original. Remember that the length of the hose should not exceed 4meters even when with an extension. If the drainage hose is longer the 4 m. the dishes will not be cleaned properly. Secure your hose firmly to the drainage pipe to avoid it coming off during the washing process.

Electrical connection
Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure that:

• the socket is earthed and complies with current regulations;
• the socket can withstand the maximum load of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the inside of the door(see description of the appliance);
• the power supply voltage falls within the values indicated on the data plate on the inside of the door;
• the socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If this is not the case, ask an authorised.
• technician to replace the plug (see assistance); do not use extension cables or multiple sockets.
• Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket should be easily accessible.
• The cable should not be bent or compressed.
• If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its Technical
• Assistance Service in order to prevent all potential hazards.(See Assistance)
• The company shall not be held responsible for any incidents that occur if these regulations are not observed.

Advice regarding the first wash cycle
After the appliance has been installed, immediately before running the first wash cycle, completely fill the dispenser of Rinse Aid (see Rinse aid).

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 wall. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left to facilitate proper installation.

Leveling the Appliance
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them in or out) to adjust the height of the dishwasher, making it level. In any case, the appliance should not be inclined more than 2.
NOTE: The maximum adjustment height of the feet is 20 mm.

How to Drain Excess Water From Hoses
If the sink is 1000mm higher from the floor, the excess water in hoses cannot be drained directly into the sink. It will be necessary to drain excess water from hoses into a bowl or a suitable container that is held outside and lower than the sink.

Water Outlet
