Using the appliance

Using your dishwasher

• Before using your dishwasher :

1. Set the water softener
2. Loading the salt Into the softener
3. Loading the basket
4. Fill the detergent dispenser

NOTE
Please check the section «Water Softener», if you need to set the water softener.
Loading the salt into the softener

• If your model does not have any water softener, you may skip this section.
• It must use salt intended for dishwasher.
• 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 0.6 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.

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 aft 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 discolour 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. are faced 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 / or 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 upper spray arm.

Loading the cutlery rack
Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery rack separate from each other in the appropriate positions. Avoid nesting of the cutlery to prevent insufficient cleaning performance.
WARNING
For optimal cleaning and drying results, please refer to the standard loading options in the last section

NOTE
The ECO program is suitable to clean normally soiled tableware, that for this use, it is the most efficient program in terms of its combined energy and water consumption, and it is used to assess compliance with the EU ecodesign legislation.
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.

Starting a program

1. Pull out the lower and upper basket, load the dishes and push them back.
2. Add the detergent in the dispenser.
3. Insert the plug into the socket. For the power supply specification please refer to last page ”Product information sheet”. Make sure that the water supply is turned on within specified range of pressure.
4.  Open the door, Press the Power button.
5. Choose a program then close the door, the dishwasher will start the program.

Changing the program mid-cycle

• A program can only be changed if it has been running only for a short period of time, otherwise the detergent may have already been released or the the wash water with detergent has already been drained. If this is the case, the dishwasher needs to be reset and the detergent dispenser must be refilled.

To reset the dishwasher, follow the instructions below:

1. Open the door a little to pause the cycle, after the spray arms stopped working you can open the door completely.
2. Press Program > button for more than three seconds, the dishwasher will be in program selection mode.
3. You can change the program to the desired cycle setting.
4. Close the door, the dishwasher will restart to run.

1. Open the door a little to stop the washing.
2. After the spray arms stopped working, you can open the door completely.
3. Add the forgotten dishes.
4. Close the door.
5. The dishwasher will start running again.

WARNING
It is dangerous to open the door mid-cycle, as hot steam may scald you.

Auto Open
At the end of a program the door will open automatically to achieve better drying effect and reduce energy use during the drying phase. Rapid and self- cleaning programs don’t have this function.
NOTE
The dishwasher door must not be blocked when set to open automatically. This can disrupt door lock functionality.

Activ’Door is a technology that opens doors at the end of a cycle. This means that residual steam in the tank can escape, rather than being deposited on the dishes. This system optimizes drying while limiting energy consumption. At the same time, this will reduce the amount of residue on your dishes.
There’s a button to deactivate the Activ’ Door. Automatic door opening can operate on all programs except the short programs (i.e. the quick program and the soaking program, if present on your appliance). The automatic opening function can be activated or deactivated by pressing the door opener button.
Usage counter
When the power cord is connected, but the dishwasher is not turned on, press and hold the Delay button « + » for 5 seconds, the dishwasher display will show the usage count.

  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.

• Repeat if necessary.
• Always wipe up rinse aid spills immediately.

The program was not powerful enough.
Not enough detergent was dispensed.

• With a short program, the washing temperature is lower, decreasing cleaning
performance. Choose a program with a long washing time.
