2. INSTALLATION
2.1. 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.
2.2. 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.
2.3. 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.
An Aquastop water spout is available
with some models. Do not damage it or
allow it to become kinked or twisted.
2.4. 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 flor plane.
IMPORTANT: Items will not wash
properly if a drain hose longer than 4 m is
used.

EN - 7
2.5. Electrical connection
WARNING: Your machine is set to
operate at 220-240 V. If the mains voltage
supply to your machine is 110 V, connect
a transformer of 110/220 V and 3000 W
between the electrical connection.
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.

4. BEFORE USING
THE APPLIANCE
4.1. Preparing your
Dishwasher for first use
• Check whether the electricity and supply
water specifications match the values
indicated in the installation instructions
for the machine.
• Remove all packaging materials inside
the machine.
• Set the water softener level.
• Fill the rinse aid compartment.
4.2. Fill the salt (IF AVAILABLE)
To fill with softener salt, open the salt
compartment cap by turning it counter
clockwise. (1) (2) At first use, fill the
compartment with 1 kg salt and water (3)
until it is almost overflowing. If available,
using the funnel (4) provided will make
filling easier. Replace the cap and close it.
After every 20th-30th wash, add salt into
your machine until it fills up (approx. 1 kg).

SALT
Fill the salt compartment with water the
first time you fill the salt compartment
only.
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.

Only use detergents specifically 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 a further information.

EN - 11
4.8. 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 refilled just
before the start of each programme. If the
dishes are heavily soiled, place additional
detergent in the pre-wash detergent
chamber.
DETERGENT
4.9. 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.
4.10. 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.
4.11. Filling the rinse-aid and setting
To fill the rinse aid compartment, remove
the rinse-aid compartment cap by turning it.
Fill the compartment with rinse aid until the
level indicator goes dark. Replace the cap
and close it by turning it. Be careful not to
overfill the rinse aid compartment and wipe
up any spills.
The rinse-aid compartment has a level
adjuster, numbered 1 to 6, which controls
how much rinse aid is used in each wash.
The factory setting is “3”.
If the dishes are not drying properly or are
spotted, increase the level. If blue stains
form on your dishes, decrease level. To do
this, remove the cap and rotate the indicator
arrow setting then replace the cap.
5. LOADING YOUR
DISHWASHER
For best results, follow these loading
guidelines.
We recommend that you place large items
(pots, pans, lids, plates and bowls) which
are heavily soiled in the lower basket.
The upper basket is designed for delicate
and lighter dishware such as glasses,
coffee and tea cups and saucers. Position
the dishes so that they will not get moved
by the spray of water.
Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery
basket. Items should be loaded individually
into the appropriate slots with their handles
downwards. Long utensils should be placed
horizontally on the baskets.
WARNING: Take care not to obstruct
the rotation of spray arms.
5.1. Recommendations
Remove any coarse residue on dishes
before placing the dishes in the machine.
Start the machine with full load.
Do not overload the drawers or place
dishes in the wrong basket.
WARNING: Always place sharp
utensils with the sharp point down and open
utensils with their openings d
