In accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU and Polish legislation regarding used
electrical and electronic goods, this appliance is marked with the symbol of the crossed-out
waste container.
This marking indicates that the appliance must not be disposed of together with other
household waste after it has been used. The user is obliged to hand it over to waste col-
lection centre collecting used electrical and electronic goods. The collectors, including local
collection points, shops and local authority departments provide recycling schemes. Proper
handling of used electrical and electronic goods helps avoid environmental and health haz-
ards resulting from the presence of dangerous components and the inappropriate storage
and processing of such goods.

For many years, Amica has consistently pursued pro-ecological policy.
Concern for the environment is as important for us as the use of modern technology. That's why
we focus on energy-e󰘲cient appliances of the highest energy e󰘲ciency class — A+, A++ and
A+++.
The development of technology has enabled our factories to become more environmentally
friendly – we use less and less water, electricity and less waste water and solid waste is gener-
ated in the production.
A lot of attention is paid to materials used in production. We strive to use only those that do not
contain harmful substances and make recycling and safe disposal possible after use.

When choosing the place of installation, make sure you will be able to easily load and remove
dishes and utensils from the dishwasher.
Do not place the appliance in a room where the temperature can fall below 0°C.
Before installing unpack the appliance following the instructions on the packaging.
When you move the appliance do not handle it by the door or control panel.
Leave some room on all sides to have convenient access to the dishwasher when cleaning.
Make sure that when you set the dishwasher you do not crush the water supply and drain hose.
Also, make sure that the appliance is not places on the power cord.
Level the appliance using the adjustable legs. Proper level ensures trouble-free opening and clos-
ing the dishwasher doors.
If the dishwasher door will not close properly, check that the appliance stands rmly on the oor, if
not, adjust using the adjustable legs.
Make sure that domestic water supply system is suitable for the dishwasher. It is recommended to
install a lter in the water supply line to avoid damage to the appliance due to impurities (such as
sand, clay, rust, etc.) that occasionally occur in water. This will also prevent accumulation of sedi-
ment after dishwashing.
Do not use the water supply hose from the old dishwasher. Use the new water supply
hose provided with the appliance. Before connecting, rinse the hose with water. Connect
the water supply hose directly to the water feed valve. The domestic water system pres-
sure should be at least 0.03 MPa and up to 1 MPa. If the water pressure exceeds 1 MPa,
install pressure reducing valve.
When the connection is ready, open the valve completely and check for leaks.
For safety reasons, close the water supply tap after every wash.

occur with Aquastop. Do not cut the Aquastop water supply. Do not allow it to bend or twist
Note:
For safety reasons, close the water tap after every wash
THE DRAIN HOSE
The drain hose can be connected directly to a water drain or kitchen sink stub pipe. You can also drain
the water directly into the sink using the special bracket (if available), placing the drain hose outlet on
the kitchen sink edge. The drain hose connection should be made at least 50 cm and up to 110 cm from
the oor.
min 50cm/max 110cm min 50cm/max 110cm
If the drain hose is longer than 4 m, dishes may not be washed properly. The manufacturer will
not be held responsible.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Grounded plug must be connected to a grounded power outlet with a proper voltage. If there is no
grounding, refer this to a qualied electrician. If you operate the appliance without proper grounding,
the manufacturer does not assume any liability for the possible resulting damage.
Domestic electrical system must be protected with a 10-16A fuse.
The appliance must be supplied with 220-240 V AC. If the supply voltage is 110 V, use 3000W,
110/220 V set-up transformer to connect the appliance. Do not connect the appliance during
installation.

15
Always use the plug provided with the appliance. When you operate the appliance at lower
voltage the dishwashing eciency will deteriorate and may damage the appliance.
The power cord may only be replaced by authorized service or a qualied electrician. Failure to
comply with these rules may lead to an accident.
For safety reasons, you should always unplug the appliance after you have nished using it.
In order not to avoid electric shock, do not remove the plug from the wall outlet with wet
hands.
When you unplug the appliance from the wall outlet, always pull the plug. Never pull the power
cord.

Prepare special salt (water softener).
Pour water into the special salt dispenser and then add about 1.5 kg of special salt
(dishwasher salt).
Pour rinse aid into the dispenser.

Before rst use
PREPARE THE APPLIANCE FOR OPERATION
A dishwasher requires soft water (with low calcium content) to operate eciently. Other-
wise, white residue main remain on the dishes and inside the appliance. This has a negative
impact on the quality of dishwashing, rinsing and drying. When the water ows through
the softener, ions responsible for the water hardness are removed, and the water becomes
soft, for best dishwashing results. Depending on the degree of water hardness, the ions
responsible for water hardness accumulate quickly inside the water softener. Therefore,
the water softener must be regenerated to operate with the same eciency during the
next wash. This is why special salt is used in the dishwasher.
2
The importance of water descaling
Only use special salt intended for dishwashers.
Any other type of salt that is not intended for use in a dishwasher, especially regular
kitchen salt, will damage the water softener. In the event of damage caused by the use of
the wrong salt, the manufacturer’s warranty is void and we will not be liable for damage.
Fill with special salt before running the washing programme.
This will prevent spilled special salt or salty water from remaining on the bottom of the
device, which may cause corrosion.
3
Add special salt
Use only the special salt intended for dishwashers!
1. Remove the lower basket from the appliance and unscrew the special salt dispenser cap.
2. Place the end of the funnel (included) in the hole and pour about 1.5 kg of salt.
3. Pour water into the dispenser until full. It is normal that a small amount of water spills out
of the special salt dispenser.
4. After you ll the dispenser, screw the cap on.
5. When you l the dispenser with special salt, the add salt indicator goes out.
6. Start the washing programme immediately after lling the dispenser with special salt
(the quick wash is recommended). Otherwise, salty water can damage the lters, the pump
or other important appliance components This is not covered by the warranty.
NOTE:
Fill the special salt dispenser when the special salt indicator on the control panel lights
up. Depending on the rate of salt dissolution, the special salt indicator may still be on even
after lling the dispenser.
If there is no special salt indicator on the control panel (on some models), you can estimate
when to top up the dispenser based on the number of wash cycles performed.
If some special salt spills, run the soaking programme or a quick wash programme.

The test strip
20
The dishwashing eectiveness is linked to water hardness. Therefore, the appliance is
equipped with a system to reduce the hardness of the water supply. The dishwashing
eectiveness is improved when the system is set correctly. To check water hardness
contact the municipal water company or determined the water hardness using test strip
(if available).
