Caring for the Environment
Disposing of Your Packaging
Your new dishwasher was protected by suitable
packaging while on its way to you. All of the
materials used are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can be recycled. Please make a
contribution to protecting the environment by
disposing of the packaging appropriately.

3
Disposing of Your Old Dishwasher
Old dishwashers still have some residual
value. An environmentally friendly method
of disposal will make sure that valuable raw
materials can be recovered and used again.
When your dishwasher has reached the end of
its working life unplug it from the mains. Cut
o the mains cable and dispose of it together
with the plug.
Destroy the door locking mechanism so that
children and pets cannot accidentally lock
themselves in.

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.
• Fill the rinse aid compartment.
Fill the salt (IF AVAILABLE)
To add softener salt, open the salt compartment cap by
turning it counter clockwise. (1) (2) At rst use, ll the
compartment with 1 kg salt and water (3) until it is almost
overowing. If available, using a funnel (4) will make lling
easier. Replace the cap and close it. After every 20-30 Cycles
add salt into your machine until it lls up (approx. 1 kg).
Only add water to the salt compartment on first use.
Use softener salt specically produced for use in dishwashers.
When you start your dishwasher, the salt compartment is
lled with water, therefore put the softener salt in prior to
starting your machine.
If the softener salt has overowed and you do not start
the machine immediately, run a short washing program to
protect your machine against corrosion.

Detergent usage
Only use detergents specically designed for domestic
dishwashers.
Add the recommended amount of detergent for the selected
programme to ensure the best performance.
Keep your detergents in cool, dry places out of reach of
children.
See the detergent manufacturer’s instructions for further
information.
Filling the detergent
Push the latch to open the dispenser and pour in the
detergent.
Close the lid and press it until it locks in place. The dispenser
should be relled just before the start of each programme. If
the dishes are heavily soiled, place additional detergent in the
pre-wash detergent chamber.
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 in such
programmes.
If you encounter problems when using combined detergents,
please contact the detergent manufacturer.
When you stop using combined detergents, make sure that
water hardness and rinse aid settings are set to correct level.
Rinse-aid usage
Rinse-aid makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry without
spotting. Rinse-aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear
glasses. Use only rinse-aid for domestic dishwashers.
Filling the rinse-aid and setting
To ll 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 overll the
rinse aid compartment and wipe up any spills.
In order to change the rinse aid level, follow the below
steps before turning on the machine:
Push the programme button and hold it down.
Turn on the machine.
Hold down the programme button until “rA” disappears from
the display. Rinse aid set follows water hardness set.
The machine will display the current setting.
Change level by pushing the programme button.
Switch o 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 may
become 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 and pots in the
dishwasher with the opening facing downwards otherwise
water can collect on items.
If there is a 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.
n WARNING: Take care not to obstruct the rotation of
spray arms.
n WARNING: Make sure after loading the dishes do not
prevent opening the detergent dispenser.
Recommendations
Remove any coarse residue on dishes before placing the
dishes in the machine. Start the machine with full load.
n Do not overload the drawers or place dishes in the
wrong basket.
n WARNING: To avoid any possible injiuries, place
long-handle and sharp-pointed knives with their
sharp points facing down or horizontally on the
baskets.
Upper Basket
Height adjustment
The upper basket includes a mechanism which enables
the height of the basket to be adjusted up (1) or down (2)
without having to remove the basket. Hold the basket on
both sides and pull it up or push it down, ensuring both sides
of the upper basket are in the same position.

7
Height Adjustable Rack (peg type)
The height adjustable racks enable glasses and cups to be
placed on or under the racks. The racks can be adjusted to 2
dierent heights. Cutlery and utensils can also be placed on
the racks horizontally.

The foldable racks in the upper basket enable the placement
of large items such as pots and pans. Each section can be
folded separately. The foldable racks can be either raised up
or folded down.
Two Folding Racks (10 pc)
The folding racks allow easier placement of larger items,
such as pots and pans. Each section can be folded separately.
The racks can be raised up, or folded down, as shown in the
images.

• The program duration may change according to the
amount of dishes, the water temperature, the ambient
temperature and selected additional functions.
• Values given for programmes other than the eco
programme are indicative only.
• Eco programme is suitable to clean normally soiled
tableware, that for this use, it is the most efficient
programme in terms of its combined energy and water
consumption, and that it is used to assess compliance
with the EU ecodesign legislation.
• 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 manufacturer’s instructions.
• Only use powder detergent for short programs.
• Short programs do not include drying.
• To assist drying, we recommend slightly opening the
door after a cycle is complete.
• You can access the product database where the model
information is stored by reading the QR code on the
energy label.
Note: According to regulations 1016/2010 and 1059/2010,
Eco program energy consumption values may dier. This

5. Looking after your Dishwasher
Fig. 5.1
Fig. 5.2
Fig. 5.3
Fig. 5.4
Cleaning your dishwasher is important to maintain the
machine’s service life Make sure that the water softening
setting (If available) is done correctly and correct amount of
detergent is used to prevent limescale accumulation. Rell
the salt compartment when the salt sensor light comes on.
Oil and lime may build up in your Dishwasher over time. If this
occurs:
• Fill the detergent compartment but do not load
any dishes. Select a programme which runs at high
temperature and run the Dishwasher empty. If this does
not clean your Dishwasher sufficiently, use a cleaning
agent designed for use with dishwashers.
