WARNING !
When using your dishwasher, follow the basic precautions including the following:
WARNING! HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE
Under certain conditions, Hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has not been
used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot-water system has not
been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher turn on all hot-water faucets and let the
water flow from each for several minutes. This will release some accumulated hydrogen gas. As the
gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame this time.
WARNING! PROPER USE
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish basket of the dishwasher.
Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after using.

forward.
When loading items to be washed:
Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal;
Warning: Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the basket with their
points down or placed in a horizontal position.
When using your dishwasher, you should prevent plastic items from contacting with heating
element.
Check that the detergent receptacle is empty after completion of the wash cycle.
Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked dishwasher safe or the equivalent. For plastic
items not so marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.
Use only detergent and rinse additives designed for an automatic dishwasher. Never use soap,
laundry detergent, or hand washing detergent in your dishwasher.
Other means for disconnection from the supply must be incorporated in the fixed wiring with at
least 3mm contact separation in all poles.
Keep children away from detergent and rinse aid, keep children away from the open door of the
dishwasher , there could still be some detergent left inside.
These instructions can also be obtained from BLANCO website.

Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, be careful not to overfill.
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 140ml.
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

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 programme in conjunction with concentrated detergents reduces
pollution and is good for your dishes; these washing programmes are specially matched to the dirt-
dissolving properties of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For this reason"normal"
washing programme in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that
can otherwise only be achieved using"intensive" programme.
Detergent Tablets
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent
cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programmes. Therefore please
use long programmes when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent
residuals.
Detergent Dispenser
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each washing cycle following the instructions
provided in the Wash Cycle Table.
Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. Also, more heavily
lsoiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting dishwasher,
otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly. .

Loading the Lower Basket
It is recommend that you place large items which are most difficult to clean in to the lower basket:
pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure below.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the baskets in order to avoid blocking
the rotation of the top spray arm.
Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed top down.
Deep pots should be slanted to allow water to flow out.
The bottom basket features fold down tine rows so that larger or more pots and pans can be loaded.
Adjusting the Upper Basket
If required, the height of the upper basket can be adjusted in order to create more space for large
utensils either in the upper basket or lower basket. The height of the upper basket can be adjusted
by adjusting which rollers are placed on the rails. (see diagrams). Long items, serving cutlery, salad
servers or knives should be placed on the shelf so that they do not obstruct the rotation of the spray
arms. The shelf can be folded back or removed when not be required for use.
5 Loading the Dishwasher Baskets
For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance
of baskets and Cutlery tray may vary from your model.
Attention before or after Loading the Dishwasher Baskets
1. 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 the following way:
A. Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are stood upside down.
B. Curve items, or those with recesses, should be at a slant so that water can run off.
C. They are stacked securely and can not tip over.
D. They do not prevent the spray arms from rotating while washing takes place.
2. Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the
Baskets.
3. Do not pull out the lower and upper baskets at the same time when loading the baskets;
The combined weight can cause the dishwasher to topple forward.
Removing the Dishes
To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower basket, we recommend that you
empty the lower basket first and then the upper basket.
Loading the Upper Basket
The upper basket 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.
Upper and Lower basket Folding racks
Folding racks consisting of two parts
that are located on the upper and lower
basket of your machine are designed in
order to let you place big items easier
as pots, pans, etc. If more room is needed
for larger items, the sections can be
folded down. When smaller items are being
cleaned, they can be straightened up.

WARNING!
WARNING!
Filtering System The filter is used to avoid the big remnants and other sundries getting inside
the pump. When there is a lot of residue, the filter can become obstructed.
The filter systemconsists of acoarse filter, a flat
(Main filter) anda micro filter(fine filter).
1 Flat filter
Food and debriswill be trappedby a special jet
on the lowerspray arm.
2 Coarse filter
Big debris, suchas bone andglass that could clog the
drain will betrapped in thecoarse filter.
Toremove an itemcaught in thisfilter, gently squeeze
the taps onthe top of this filter andlift it out.
3 Micro filter
This filter holdssoil and food residue in thesump area
and prevents itfrom being redeposit on the dishes
during a cycle.
- Inspect thefilters for obstructions every time the
dishwasher has beenused.
- By unscrewingthe coarse filter, you can remove
the filter system.Remove any food remnants and
clean the filtersunder running water.
Step 1 Rotate the coarse
filter anti-clockwise and lift it up.
Step 2 lift the flat filter up.
7. Maintenance and cleaning
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 the 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 micro filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter parts as shown
in the figures above 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.
Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place. When cleaning the filters, don't knock on them.
If the filters become deformed, they may affect the efficiency of the dishwasher.
Cleaning the Spray Arms
It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly as hard
water chemicals will 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 them after rinsing thoroughly.
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 and the bottom and use a sponge to use up water in sump
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.
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.

How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape
After Every Wash
After every wash, turn off the water supply
to the appliance and leave 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.
No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of
the dishwasher, do not use solvents or
abrasive cleaning products. 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
recommended 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 in 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.
Attention:
The installation of the pipes
and electrical equipments
should be done by professionals.
Electrical Shock Hazard!
Disconnect electrical power before
installing dishwasher.
Failure to do so can result in death or
electrical shock.
