INSTALLATION

Step 1: Selecting the dishwasher location
Fig. 3

1. Connecting the electric supply, the water supply and the drain.
2. Space between the floor, bottom of the cabinet and the floor
   – When placing the machine, do it in an area in which the tableware can be loaded and unloaded easily. Do not place the dishwasher in an area in which room  temperature is below 0°C.
   – If you wish to install the dishwasher between two cabinets (Fig. 4) or under a worktop, you must make sure there is enough space to do so and that the wiring and  plumbing are appropriate.
   – Place the dishwasher near a tap, a water drain and a grounded electrical outlet. Remember you should not modify the connections once the dishwasher is installed.
   – You must leave at least a 5-mm space between the upper part of the dishwasher and the cabinet, and the exterior door must be aligned with the piece of furniture.
   ** Follow the indications on image 3 on the dimensions the gap where you want to install the dishwasher must have.
   WARNING:** the worktop under which you want to install the dishwasher must be stable in order to avoid imbalances.
   – If you want to install the dishwasher in the corner of a cabinet, you must make sure there is enough space to open the door completely. Fig. 5

– Do not hold the device by its door or panel.
– Leave an appropriate distance around the machine to make its disconnection from the mains and movement easier when cleaning it.

Step 2: Water supply hose connection Fig. 6
Connect the water supply hose to a cold water tap, and make sure it is securely in place.

WARNING: use the water supply hose provided with your dishwasher, do not reuse the water supply hose from your old dishwasher.
WARNING: open the tap and let water run through the water supply hose before connecting it to the dishwasher.
WARNING: connect the water supply hose directly to the water inlet (1). The pressure supplied by the inlet must be at least 0.04 MPa and at most 1 MPa. If the pressure is  over 1 MPa, you must install a pressure release valve in the connection (2).
When the connections are ready, open the tap completely and check if there is any water leakage. Close the water supply tap after every washing programme.

Step 3: Draining hose connection Fig. 7

5. Drain hose
6. Worktop
   – Connect the drain hose directly to a drain (B) or to an outlet with at least a 4-cm diameter (A). This connection must be at least 50 cm and at most 100 cm over the floor level.
   – If the end of the drain hose is free, it should not be immersed in water, to prevent water backflow.
   – Make sure the drain hose is not twisted.
   IMPORTANT: utensils will not be washed correctly if you use a drain hose with over 4-m length.

Step 4: Electric connection
– Connect the dishwasher to the electric circuit.
WARNING: make sure that the mains voltage matches the voltage stated on the rating label of the appliance and that the wall outlet is grounded.
**** The dishwasher plug must be connected to a grounded socket. If you do not have a grounded socket, a grounded installation must be carried out by a licensed electrician. In  case of ungrounded use, Cecotec shall not be liable for any malfunction or damage that this may cause.
– Make sure there is an appropriate grounded socket before using the appliance.

Step 6: Levelling the dishwasher Fig. 8

1. Set the level from front to back.
2. Set the level from side to side.
   – For a correct operation, the dishwasher must be level.
   – Once you have placed the device, you can modify its height with the adjustment of the screwed level feet. Fig. 9
   – Place a spirit level in the door and in the basket rail, as shown on image 8, to check the dishwasher is level.
   – Level the dishwasher adjusting the three level feet individually. The rear foot can be set from the front part of the dishwasher by turning the screw located on the centre of the dishwasher base with a screwdriver. To set the front feet, use a flat-head screwdriver and turn the front feet until the dishwasher is level.
   – When levelling the dishwasher, be careful not to knock it over.
   NOTE: the maximum height adjustment of the feet is 50 mm.
   NOTE: it is not recommended to lean the device over 2º.

Step 7: Setting the spring tension on the door Fig. 10
– The door springs are factory set to the appropriate tension for the exterior door.
– Turn the adjustment screw to tighten or loosen the steel cable. Adjust the tension of the door springs using a screwdriver by turning it clockwise to tighten the left and right  door  springs.
– The door spring tension is correct when the door remains horizontal in the fully open position, but can be raised to the closed position with a slight push.

Step 8: Cabinet fixing
Fit the machine by pushing it under the worktop, taking care not to crush or bend the hoses.
Make sure the water supply and water outlet hoses are not crushed or trapped.
Make sure the dishwasher is not placed over the electric cable when installing it.

BEFORE USING THE DISHWASHER

– For a correct washing, the dishwasher needs soft water. Otherwise, water will leave scale remains in the tableware and in the interior of the machine which may block the dishwasher. To do this, water goes through a system that removes the ions that form the hardness of the water, either special dishwasher salt or a water softener.
– Before the first use, follow these steps:

1. Set the water softener.
2. Add salt to the water softener.
3. Load the baskets.
4. Fill the detergent compartment. Fig. 11

4.1. Dishwasher salt
Use only salt special for dishwashers.
The salt compartment is located under the lower basket.

Filling the compartment with dishwasher salt Fig. 12

1. Remove the lower basket and loosen the compartment cap.
2. Open the salt compartment cap by turning it counterclockwise.
3. Fill the compartment with dishwasher salt until it is almost full. Using a funnel will make the process easier.
4. Add water to the salt compartment until the limit (only in the first use). It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt compartment.
5. Place the cap back and tighten it.
6. The salt indicator light will turn off after the salt compartment is filled with salt.
   – When running the dishwasher, the salt compartment will fill with water, so you must fill the compartment before running the dishwasher.
   – Fill the salt compartment immediately before running the dishwasher as, otherwise, the filtering system, pump and other important parts of the machine may get  damaged. The guarantee shall not cover this eventuality.

Note
You must only refill the salt compartment when the salt indicator lights up on the control panel. Depending on how well the salt is dissolved, the salt indicator light may  remain on, even if the salt compartment is full.

4.2 Water softener
– This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which uses a salt compartment specifically designed to reduce water hardness.
– To find out the hardness level of your tap, you can contact your water company or use a test strip.
– You must set the water softener manually according to the water hardness in your area, to do so use the water hardness dial. The goal is to optimise and customise the salt consumption level.

Water hardness table

Germany water hardness level (dH)| France water hardness level (dF)| United Kingdom water hardness level (dE)| Indicator on the display
---|---|---|---
0-5| 0-9| 0-6| H1
6-11| 10-20| 7-14| H2
12-17| 21-30| 15-21| H3
18-22| 31-40| 22-28| H4
23-34| 41-60| 29-42| H5
35-55| 61-98| 43-69| H6c

NOTE: water hardness is set in H3 by default. If water comes from a well or its water hardness is over 90 dF, it is recommended to use refinement filters and devices.

Setting the water softener

1. Close the dishwasher door and turn it on by pressing the power button.
2. Wait for a minute and hold down the half load button for more than 5 seconds and access the water softener setting mode.
3. Press the half load button again to select the water hardness level suitable according to the previous table.
4. Press the power button to save settings.

4.3 Detergent use
– Use only detergents designed specifically for household dishwashers. Keep the detergent in a cool, dry place and out of reach from children.
– The ingredients used in the detergents are necessary to remove dirt from the dishwasher.
– Do not fill the compartment with powder detergent until it is ready to wash the tableware.
– The necessary detergent quantity will depend on the cycle, the load size and the tableware soiling level. Add an adequate quantity to ensure optimum performance.
– If the detergent amount is too high, you will notice glass and dishes have whitish stripes or bluish layers, which may rust the tableware. Continued use of too much detergent may cause damage to the dishwasher.
– If the amount of detergent is too low, it can cause bad cleaning, as well as whitish stripes if the water is hard.
– Check the manufacturer instructions for the detergent to get more information.

Filling the detergent dispenser Fig. 13

1. Press the detergent compartment release tab to open the cover.
2. Add detergent in the larger hole (A) for the main wash. For dirtier loads, also add detergent in the smaller hole (B) so that detergent is released during prewash.
3. Close the cover and press it until it is blocked in place.

4.4 Rinse aid use
– Use only detergents designed specifically for household dishwashers. Keep the rinse aid in a cool, dry place and out of reach from children.
– Rinse aid is used to promote the drying of the dishes without marks and stains. The rinse aid is automatically released during the last rinse to prevent water droplets from  forming on the dishes, which can leave stains and marks.
– This dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids.
– If the rinse aid dose is too low, there will be whitish stains in the tableware and they will not dry correctly.
– If the rinse aid dose is too high, you will see bluish layers on glass and dishes.
**** Never fill the rinse aid compartment with other substances, as this could damage the dishwasher.

– Never allow the rinse level to be below ¼ of its capacity.

Filling the rinse aid compartment Fig. 15

1. Remove the rinse aid dispenser cap by turning it counterclockwise.
2. Pour the rinse aid in the dispenser carefully, avoiding spilling it out of the compartment.
3.  Close the cap by turning it counterclockwise.
   – You must fill the rinse aid compartment when the rinse aid level indicator lights up, as it indicates there is little rinse aid left.
   – Do not overfill the rinse aid compartment.
   NOTE: be careful not to spill rinse aid outside the compartment and clean it if it is spilled.

3. Empty the water from the supply hose and from the water valve. (Use a bucket to pick up water).
4. Connect the water supply hose again to the water valve.
5. Remove the filter from the bottom of the dishwasher and use a sponge to absorb the water on the drain.

After every wash
After every wash, close the device water supply and leave the door slightly open for some minutes so moisture and odours are not trapped in the interior.

When not in use for a long time
– We recommend running a washing cycle without any load and, next, disconnect the plug from the mains supply, close the water supply and leave the door slightly open.
– This will help preserve the door gaskets for more time and will prevent odours forming inside the device.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Remove any other device sharing the same circuit as the dishwasher.
The power supply is not on.| Make sure the dishwasher is on and door is properly closed.
Make sure that the power cord is plugged into the socket properly.
