Water supply and drain
Cold water connection
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 t he 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 damage the appliance.
Provided water supply hose has the aqua-safe system. Ensure that
water supply hose’s aqua-safe pipe is connected to the faucet.
Hot water connection
The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to the house hot water line (centralized
system, heating system), as long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60 °C. In this case, the
w ash cycle time will be shortened by about 15 minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced.
The connection must be made to the hot water line following the same procedures as those for
the connection to the cold water line.
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.
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 suitable
container that is held outside and lower than the sink.
Water outlet
Connect the water drain hose. The drain hose must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks.
Ensure that the water inlet hose is not kinked or squashed.
Extension hose
If you need a drain hose extension, observe to use a similar drain hose.
It must be no longer than 4 metres; otherwise the cleaning effect of the dishwasher could be
reduced.
Syphon connection
The waste connection must be at a height of between 40 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum)
from the bottom of the dishwasher. The water drain hose should be fixed by a hose clip.
Aqua-safe
The Aqua-safe System is a safety valve system, preventing you from water leaks. If the water
inlet hose starts to leak anytime, the safety valve cuts off the running water. If water inlet hose or
the safety valve is damaged, remove & replace it.
Do not enlarge or shorten the inlet hose.

using the detergent and water
softener
Water softener
The water softener must be set manually, using the water hardness dial.
The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, which would have a detrimental
or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance. The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the
harder your water is. The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area.
Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.
Adjusting salt consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of salt consumed based on
the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimize and customize the level of salt
consumption so that the salt consumption could be set proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the cap from the salt container.
2. There is aring on the container with an arrow on it (see figure
to the side), if necessary, rotate the ring in t he anticlockwise
direction from the “-” Setting toward the “+”sign, based on the
hardness of the water being used. It i s recommended that
adjustments should be made in accordance with the following

WATER SOFTENER
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the
dishwasher, deposits will from on the dishes and utensils. The appliance is equipped with
a special softener that uses a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from
the water.
14_ using the detergent and water softener
Loading the salt into the softener
Always use salt intended for use with dishwasher.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:
ATTENTION
• Only fill with s alt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes. This will prevent
any grains of salt or salty water, which ma y have been split, remaining of the bottom of the ma chi
ne for any period of time, which ma y ca use corrosion.
• After the first was h cycle the control panel light expires.
1. Remove the lower basket and then unscrew and remove the cap from
the salt container.
Open
2. If you are filling the container for the first time, fill 2/3 of its volume with water (around 500 ml).
3. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce
about 1,2 kg of salt. It is Normal for a small amount of water to come
out of the salt container.
4. Carefully screw the cap back on.
5. Usually, the salt warning light will be off in 2-6 after the salt container days be filled with salt.
• The salt container must be refilled when the salt warning light in the control panel comes on.
Though the salt container is filled enough, the indicator light may not black out before the salt fully
dissolve.
If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (for some models), you can judge when to load
the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher had run (see the following schema ).
• If there are spills of the salt, a soak program could be run to wipe them out.

03 using the detergent and water softener
• Only use s alt specifically designed for use in dishwashers! All other types of salt not specifically
designed for use in a dishwasher, e specially table salt, will damage the water softener. In ca se of
damage s ca used by the use of unsuitable salt the manufacturer does not give any warranty nor
is liable for any caused damages.

Fill the rinse aid dispenser
Function of rinse aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and 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
If there is no rinse-aid warning light in the control panel, you can judge t he amount of rinseaid by the color 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 t he 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.

03 using the detergent and water softener
2. Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being 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 140 ml.
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 split during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid
excess foaming during the next wash.
Adjusting rinse aid dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser has six or four 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.
We suggest you to set on “4” (Factory value is “4”).

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.
using the detergent and water softener _17
using the detergent and water
softener
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.
WARNING : Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out of reach of children.
Proper Use of Detergent
Use only detergent specifically made f or use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry.
Don’t put powder detergent into the dispenser until you’re ready to wash dishes.
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 programmes in conjunction with concentrated detergents reduces
pollution and is good for your dishes; these wash programmes are specially matched to the
dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For this reason “normal”
wash programmes in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that
can otherwise only be achieved using “intensive” programmes.
Detergent tablets
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent
tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programmes.
Therefore please use long programmes when using detergent tablets, to unsure the complete
removal of detergent residuals.
Detergent dispenser
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions
provided in the Wash Cycle Table? Your dishwashers use less detergent and rinse aid then
conventional dishwashers. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal
wash load. Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent. Al ways add the detergent just
before starting dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.

2. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.
You find information about the amount of detergent for the single programmes on the last
page. Please 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.

Detergents
There are 3 sorts of detergents.
1. With phosphate and with chlorine.
2. With phosphate and without chlorine.
3. Without phosphate and without chloride.
Normally new pulverised detergent is without phosphate. The water softener function of
phosphate is not given. In this case we recommend to fill salt in the salt container even when
the hardness of water is only 6 dH. If detergents without phosphate were used in case of hard
water often white spots appear at dishes and glasses. In this case please ad d more detergent
to reach better results. Detergent s without chlorine do only bleach a little. Strong and coloured
spots will not removed completely. In this case please choose a programme with higher
temperature.
How to use the 3 in 1 program
Your dishwasher has a 3 in 1 program which needs not salt and rinse aid but a 3 In1 tablet. And this
dishwasher comes with a 3 in 1 tablet container as an accessory.
Only 3 in 1 program uses 3 in 1 tablet. If using 3 in 1 tablet in other programs, the appliance will not
get a best performance.
1. Referring to the below sketch map, hang the 3 in
1 tablet container on the upper basket.
2. Referring to the below sketch map, rotate the upper sprayer
and of the container if need to make sure the upper sprayer
does not be cumbered by the 3 in 1 tablet container.
3. Put the 3 in 1 tablet into the container then start the 3 in 1 program.
When use “3 in 1 Combination / Compact Deter-Gents, please pay attention to make sure that the
size of the Combination Detergents is fitted to the dispenser, so that Combination Detergents can be
ease to put in the dispenser, and dispenser would not be broken.
ATTENTION : Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s reach.
Always add the detergent i n the dispenser just before starting the dishwasher.
20_ using the detergent and water softener
loading the dishwasher racks
For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks
and silverware baskets may vary from your model.
Attention before or after loading the dishwasher racks
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 following way:
2. Curve items, or those with recesses, should be at a slant so that water can run off.
3. They are stacked securely and can not tip over.
4. They do not prevent the spray arms from rotating while washing takes place.
Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the racks.
Removing the dishes
To prevent water dripping from the upper back into the lower back, we recommend that you empty
the lower basket first and then the upper back.
Loading the upper rack
The upper rack 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. Always place
glasses, cups & bowls upside down.

Cleaning the Filters
Filtering system
2
1
3
ATTENTION : Do not put the fine filter upside down.
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 t he 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 fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble t he filter
parts as shown in the figures left 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 and care _27
06 cleaning and care
For your convenience, we have placed the drain pump and filtering
system within easy reach inside the tub. There are three components
of the filtering system: the main filter, the coarse filter, and the fine filter.
1. Main filter : Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are
pulverized by a special jet on the lower spray arm and washed
down the drain.
2. Coarse filter : Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass, that
could clog the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove an
item caught in this filter, gently squeeze the tabs on top of this filter
and lift it out.
3. Fine filter : This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area
and prevents it from being redeposited on the dishes during a
cycle.
cleaning and care
Cleaning the spray arms
It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly for hard water chemicals w
ill 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 t hem after rinsing them thoroughly.

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 towel because of the
risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stainless steel surface.
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 the bottom and use a sponge to use up water in sump.

How to keep your dishwasher in shape
cleaning and care _29
06 cleaning and care
• After Every Wash
After every wash, turn of f the water supply to the appliance and l eave 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 Slovents or Abrasive cleaning
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive
cleaning products. Rather, 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 recommened 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 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 odors to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in
the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.
