•Choose a suitable and safe place to install your machine.
•Only original spare parts should be used with the machine.
Unplug the machine before installation.
Your machine must only be installed by an authorised service agent. Installation by
anyone other than an authorised agent may cause your warranty to be void.
Check that the indoor electrical fuse system is connected in line with safety
regulations.
All electrical connections must match the values on the plate.
Ensure the machine does not stand on the electrical supply cable.
Never use an extension cord or a multiple socket connection.
The plug should be accessible after the machine is installed.
•After installation, run your machine unloaded for the first time.
The machine must not be plugged in during positioning.
Always use the coated plug supplied with your machine.
If the electrical cable is damaged, it should only be replaced by a qualified
electrician.
•Connect the hose directly to the water inlet tap. The pressure supplied by the tap
should be a minimum of 0.03 MPa and a maximum of 1 MPa. If the pressure exceeds 1
MPa, a pressure relief valve must be fitted between the connection.
DURING USAGE
•This machine is for domestic use only; do not use it for other purposes. Commercial
use will void the guarantee.
Do not stand, sit or place loads on the open door of the dishwasher.
Only use detergents and rinse aids produced specifically for dishwashers. Our
company is not responsible for any damage that may occur due to misuse.
Do not drink water from the machine.
Due to the danger of explosion, do not place any chemical dissolving agents into the
machine’s washing section.
•Check the heat-resistance of plastic items before washing them in the machine.
Only put items in the machine which are suitable for dishwashing, and take care not to
overfill the baskets.
Do not open the door while the machine is in operation, hot water may spill out. Safety
devices ensure the machine stops if the door is opened.
The machine door should not be left open. It may cause accidents.
Place knives and other sharp objects in the cutlery basket in a blade-down position.

For models with the automatic door-opening system, when the Energy Save option
is active, the door will open at the end of a program. To prevent damage to your
dishwasher, do not attempt to close the door for one minute after it has opened. For
effective drying, keep the door open for 30 minutes after a programme has ended. Do not
stand in front of the door after the auto-open signal sounds.
In the case of a malfunction, repair should only be performed by an authorised service
company, otherwise the warranty will be void.
Before repair work, the machine should be disconnected from the mains. Do not
pull the cable to unplug the machine. Switch off the water tap.
Operation at a low voltage will cause a decline in performance levels.
For safety, disconnect the plug once a program has finished.
To avoid an electric shock, do not unplug the machine with wet hands.
Pull the plug to disconnect the machine from the mains, never pull on the cord.

2. INSTALLATION
MACHINE POSITIONING
•When positioning the machine, place it in an area where dishes can be easily loaded
and unloaded. Do not put the machine in an area where the ambient temperature falls
below 0°C.
•Read all warnings located on the packaging before removing the packaging and
positioning the machine.
•Place the machine close to a water tap and drain. Take into consideration that the
connections will not be altered once the machine is in position.
•Do not hold the machine by its door or panel.
•Leave an adequate distance around the machine to allow ease of movement when
cleaning.
Ensure the water inlet and outlet hoses are not squeezed or trapped and that the
machine does not stand on the electrical cable while positioning.
•Adjust the feet so the machine is level and balanced. The machine should be placed on
flat ground otherwise it will be unstable and the door of the machine will not close
properly.
WATER CONNECTION
We recommend fitting a filter to your water inlet supply in order to prevent damage to your
machine due to contamination (sand, rust, etc.) from indoor plumbing. This will also help
prevent yellowing and deposit formation after washing.
NOTE: Cold water preferred; hot water max. temperature 60 °C.
WATER INLET HOSE
WARNING: Use the new water inlet hose supplied with your machine, do not use an
old machine’s hose.
WARNING: Run water through the new hose before connecting.
WARNING: Connect the hose directly to the water inlet tap. The pressure supplied by
the tap should be a minimum of 0.03 MPa and a maximum of 1 MPa. If the pressure
exceeds 1 MPa, a pressure relief valve must be fitted between the connection.
WARNING: After the connections are made, turn the tap on fully and check for water
leaks. Always turn off the water inlet tap after a wash program has finished.

5
DRAIN HOSE
Connect the water drain hose directly to water drain hole or to the sink outlet spigot. This
connection should be minimum 50 cm and maximum 110 cm from floor.
IMPORTANT: Items will not wash properly if a drain hose longer than 4m is used.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONE
WARNING: Your machine is set to operate at 220-240 V~.
Connect the product to a grounded outlet protected by a fuse complying with the
values in the "Technical Specifications" table (PAGE 24).
The earthed plug of the machine must be connected to an earthed outlet supplied
by suitable voltage and current.
In the absence of earthing installation, an authorised electrician should carry out an
earthing installation. In the case of use without earthing installed, we will not be
responsible for any loss of use that may occur.
The plug on this appliance is incorporate 13A fuse.

4. BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
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.
Salt usage (If Available)
For a good washing function, the dishwasher needs soft, i.e. less calcareous water.
Otherwise, White lime residues will remain on the dishes and the interior equipment. This
will negatively affect your machine’s washing, drying and shining performance. When
water flows through the softener system, the ions forming the hardness are removed from
the water and the water reaches the softness required to obtain the best washing result.
Depending on the level of hardness of the inflowing water, these ions that harden the
water accumulate rapidly inside the softener system. Therefore, the softener system has to
be refreshed so that it operates with the same performance also during the next wash. For
this purpose, dishwasher salt is used.
Machine can only be used by special dishwasher salt to soften the water. Do not use any
small grained or powdered type of salts which can easily soluble. Using any other type of
salt can damage your machine.
Fill the salt (If Available)
•Step 1 & 2: To add softener salt, open the salt compartment cap by turning it counter
clockwise.
•Step 3: At first use, fill the compartment with 1 kg salt and water until it is almost
overflowing.
If available, using a funnel will make filling easier. Replace the cap and close it. After
every 20-30 Cycles add salt into your machine until it fills up (approx. 1 kg).

8
Only add water to the salt compartment on first use.
•Use softener salt specifically produced for use in dishwashers.
•When you start your dishwasher, the salt compartment is filled with water, therefore put
the softener salt in prior to starting your machine.
•If the softener salt has overflowed and you do not start the machine immediately, run a
short washing program to protect your machine against corrosion.
