Installation

Machine Positioning
Place the dishwasher undercounter in the designated space for proper functioning. When positioning the machine, place it in an area where dishes can be easily loaded and unloaded. Do not put the machine in an area where the ambient temperature falls below 0°C. Read all warnings located on the packaging before removing the packaging and positioning the machine. Place the machine close to a water tap and drain. Take into consideration that the connections will not be altered once the machine is in position. Do not hold the machine by its door or panel. Leave an adequate distance around the machine to allow ease of movement when cleaning.

• Ensure the water inlet and outlet hoses are not squeezed or trapped and that the machine does not stand on the electrical cable or any hoses while positioning.

Adjust the feet so the machine is level and balanced.
The machine should be placed on a flat solid surface otherwise it will be unstable and the door of the machine will not close properly. It s not recommended to fit the dishwasher on any kind of carpet or carpet tiles.

Water Connection
Connect the water inlet hose to a suitable water source following the provided instructions. We recommend fitting a filter to your water inlet supply in order to prevent damage to your machine due to contamination (sand, rust, etc.) from indoor plumbing. This will also help prevent yellowing and deposit formation after washing.

Note: printing on the water inlet hose! If models are marked with 25°, the water temperature may be max. 25 °C (cold water).

Water Inlet Hose
Ensure the water inlet hose is securely connected to prevent leaks during operation.

WARNING: Use the new water inlet hose supplied with your machine, do not use an old machine’s hose.
WARNING: Run water through the new hose before connecting.
WARNING: Connect the hose directly to the water inlet tap. The pressure supplied by the tap should be a minimum of 0.03 MPa and a maximum of 1 MPa. If the pressure exceeds 1 MPa, a pressure relief valve must be fitted between the connection.
WARNING: After the connections are made, turn the tap on fully and check for water leaks at both the tap end and the dishwasher end. Always turn off the water inlet tap after a wash programme has finished.

Drain Hose
Properly position and secure the drain hose to avoid water leakage during use. Connect the water drain hose directly to water drain hole or to the sink outlet spigot. This connection should be minimum 50 cm and maximum 110 cm from floor that the dishwasher is placed on.

Before Using Your Appliance

Technical Specifications

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, after filling with salt.
  • Set the rinse- aid level, after filling 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 during every wash. For this purpose, dishwasher salt is used. The dishwasher can only use special dishwasher salt to soften the water. Do not use any small grained or powdered type of salts which are easily soluble (for example table salt). Using any other type of salt can damage your machine and will invalidate your guarantee. Only add water to the salt compartment before 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 (see below for filling instructions). If the softener salt has overflowed and you do not start the machine immediately, run a short washing programme to protect your machine against corrosion.

Fill The Salt
To add softener salt,

1. Open the salt compartment cap by turning it counter clockwise.
2. Remove salt cap.
3. Before first use, fill the compartment with 1Kg salt. If available, using a funnel will make filling easier.
4. Fill the container with water until it is almost overflowing. Replace the cap making sure it is secure and tight.

After every 20-30 Cycles, or when the re-fill light indicates, add salt into your machine until it fills up the container (approx. 1Kg).

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.

Water Hardness Table

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 the test strip supplied.

Setting
To change the salt level, follow the below steps:

• Open the door of the machine.
• Turn on the machine, and press the Programme button as soon as the machine is turned on.
• Hold down the Programme button until all LED’s blink once.
• The machine will display the last setting.
• Set the level by pressing the Programme button.
• Switch off the machine to save the setting.

Detergent Usage
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 programme to ensure the best performance. The amount of detergent needed depends on the cycle, load size, and soil level of dishes. Do not fill detergent into the detergent compartment more than required; otherwise you can see whitish streaks or bluish layers on glass and dishes and may cause glass corrosion. Continued use of too much detergent may cause machine damage. Using little detergent can result in poor cleaning and you can see whitish streaks in hard water areas. See the detergent manufacturer’s instructions for a further information.

Filling The Detergent
Push the latch which will cause the dispenser lid to slide upwards. Once fully open pour in the required amount of detergent. Close the lid by sliding it back over the detergent and press it until it locks in place. The dispenser should be refilled just before the start of each programme.

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 programmes. Please use powder detergents instead. If you encounter problems when using combined detergents, please contact the detergent manufacturer. When using combined detergents, make sure that water hardness and rinse-aid settings are set to the correct level. If you stop using combined detergents make sure that the levels are adjusted accordingly.

Rinse-aid Usage
The 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 the rinse-aid dosage setting is set too low, whitish stains may remain on dishes and dishes do not dry or wash properly. If the rinse-aid dosage setting is set too high you can see bluish layers on glass, dishes and the interior of the dishwasher.

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. If excessive amounts over spill it is advisable to immediately run the Prewash cycle.

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 programme button as soon as the machine is turned on.
• Hold down the programme button until all LED’s blink twice. Rinse-aid setting follows water hardness setting.
• The machine will display the last setting.
• Change the level by pressing the programme button.
• Switch 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 the upper basket. Do not lean long glasses against one another as 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, bowls and pots into the dishwasher with the opening facing downwards otherwise water can collect in items. When placing cutlery into the cutlery basket 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.

WARNING: Take care not to obstruct the rotation of the spray arms.
WARNING: Make sure after loading, the dishes do not prevent the opening of the detergent dispenser.

Recommendations

• IMPORTANT: Remove any coarse residue on dishes before placing them inside the dishwasher. Always try and start the dishwasher with a full load as this will be the most efficient way to use the appliance.
• Do not overload the cutlery basket or place dishes in the wrong basket.
• WARNING: To avoid any possible injuries, place long-handle knives on the knife rack or horizontally on the baskets and sharp-pointed knives in the cutlery basket with their sharp points facing down.

Basket Adjustments

• Lower Basket
• Two Folding Racks

The folding racks on the lower basket allow for the placement of larger items, such as pots and pans. Each section can be folded separately. They can either be folded down or raised up, as shown in the image below.

Upper Basket

• Height Adjustment
  The upper basket includes a mechanism which enables the height of the basket to be adjusted up or down without having to remove the basket. The basket does not need to be empty but any loose or delicate items such as glassware should be removing in case of any damages. If the basket is in the lower position (1) then hold the basket on both sides and pull it up in to the higher position (2). If you wish to lower the basket at any time, then hold the basket on both sides and pull it up slightly before lowering carefully back in to the lower position (1). Take care to always make sure that both sides of the upper basket are in the same position.

Height Adjustable Mug Shelves
The height-adjustable racks enable glasses and cups to be placed on or under the racks. The racks can be adjusted to 2 different heights (A,B). Cutlery and utensils can also be placed on the racks horizontally.

Upper Basket Removal
Turn the Rail Stop Clips, at the ends of the rails, to the sides to open them (as shown in the image below), then pull out and remove the basket. To reinstall the basket to the rail, guide the basket wheels into the rails and close the Rail Stop Clips.
