Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For Household Use Only
• When loading items to be washed:
- Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.
- Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
- 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.
- Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
- Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
- Do not tamper with controls.
- Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.
- To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a dishwasher.
- 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 ow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the
gas is ammable, do not smoke or use an open ame during this time.
- Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.
• To avoid oor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under
the dishwasher.
• Protect your dishwasher from freezing to avoid possible damage to the ll valve. Damage caused by
freezing is not covered by the warranty.
• WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, re or injury to persons, the installer must ensure
that the dishwasher is completely enclosed at the time of installation.
• A hose that attaches to a sink spray can burst if it is installed on the same water line as the
dishwasher. If your sink has one, it is recommended that the hose be disconnected, and the hole be
plugged.
• This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance
is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
• WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualied electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the
appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance, if it will not t
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.

Operation
DISHWASHER SETUP
Before using your dishwasher for the rst time:
A. Set the water softener
B. Load the salt into the water softener
C. Fill the rinse aid dispenser
D. Fill in the detergent
A. Water Soener
The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, which would have a
detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance. The higher the content of these minerals
and salts, the harder the water is. The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water
in your area. Your local water authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.
Seing:
The amount of salt dispensed can be set from H0 to H7, depending on the hardness of your water. Salt is
not required at the set value H0.
1. Find out the hardness value of your tap water. Your water utility company will help you with this.
2. Set value can be found in below water hardness table.
3. Close the door.
4. Press Power button.
5. Hold down Delay button, then press Program button for 5 seconds. The buzzer rings once, a “H”
ashes on the display. (Factory setting is H0.)
6. Press Delay button. Each time the button is pressed, the set value increases by one level; when the
value of H7 has been reached, the display jumps back to H0 (off).
7. Press Program button. The chosen setting is stored.

Operation
B. Load the salt into the soener
Always use the salt intended for use with the dishwasher.
NOTE: If your model has no water softener, skip this section.
WATER SOFTENER
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher,
deposits will form on the dishes and utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses salts specically designed to eliminate
lime and minerals from the water.
Aention!
• Only use salt specically designed for use in dishwashers! All other types of salt will damage the
water softener. In case of damages caused by the use of unsuitable salt, the manufacturer does not
give any warranty nor is liable for any caused damages.
• Only ll with salt just before starting a complete washing program. This will prevent any grains of salt
or salty water to left on the bottom of the machine for a period of time and cause corrosion.
The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be lled as follows:
A. Remove the lower basket, unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container.
B. If it is your rst time to ll the salt container, ll 2/3 of its volume with water (around 500ml).
C. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and pour in 2.6 lbs. salt. It is normal for a small
amount of water to come out of the salt container.
D. Carefully screw the cap back.
E. Usually, the salt warning light will be off in 2-6 days after the salt container is lled with salt.

17
Operation
NOTE:
1. The salt container must be relled when the salt warning indicator lights up.
2. When the salt is not enough, the indicator light may not be off before the salt is fully dissolved.
3. If there is no salt warning light on the control panel (for some models), you can infer when to load
the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher had run.
4. If there are spills of salt, a rinse program could run to wipe them out.
5. After the rst wash cycle nishes, the control panel light will turn off.
C. Fill the rinse aid dispenser
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing and drying. The rinse aid
can prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes and leave spots and streaks. It also improves
drying by allowing water to sheet off the dishes.
Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aid. The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next
to the detergent dispenser. To ll the rinse aid dispenser, open the cap and pour the rinse aid into the
dispenser until the level indicator turns completely black. Do not forget to replace the cap before you
close the dishwasher door.
WARNING:
• Only use branded rinse aid for this dishwasher.
• Do not ll the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid
detergent), this would damage the appliance.
When to rell the rinse aid dispenser
If there is no rinse-aid warning light on the control panel, you can infer the amount of rinse-aid by the
color of the indicator located next to the cap. When the rinse-aid container is full, the whole indicator will
be dark. As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the dark dot decreases. Make sure the rinse aid volume is
not less than 1/4 full.
As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid indicator changes, see below
illustration.

Operation
How to operate the rinse aid dispenser

1. To open the rinse aid dispenser, turn the cap to the “Open” (left) arrow and lift it out.
2. The volume of the rinse aid container is 140ml. Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, be careful not
to overll. Wipe away any spills of rinse aid with a damp cloth.
3. Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with “open” arrow and turning it to the “closed” (right) arrow.
Aention!
Clean up any rinse aid split during lling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming forming in next
wash cycle.
Adjust the rinse aid dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser has four settings. Always
start with the dispenser set on “4”. To adjust the dial,
remove the dispenser lid and rotate the dial.
D. Detergent
Detergent with its chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport dirt out of
the dishwasher. Most of commercial quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.
• For concentrated detergent, use the “Normal” washing program.
• For detergent tablets, do not use short programs, which will not dissolve and develop their full
cleaning power. Use longer washing programs to ensure the complete removal of residuals.

Operation
Use the detergent dispenser
The detergent dispenser must be relled before the start of each washing cycle following the instructions
provided in the Wash Cycle Table. Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid than conventional
dishwashers. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. Also, more
heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher,
otherwise the detergent could get damp and will not dissolve properly.
Amount of detergent to use
1 2
NOTE:
1. If the lid is closed, press the release button, the lid springs to open.
2. Always add the detergent before starting each wash cycle. Only use branded detergent aid in this
dishwasher.
WARNING!
Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out of reach of children.
Use only detergent specically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Do not put
powder detergent into the dispenser until you're ready to wash dishes.
Fill in detergent
Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent.
The marking indicates the dosing levels, as
illustrated on the right:
• Observe the manufacturer's dosing and
storage recommendations as stated on the
detergent packaging.
• Close the lid and press until it locks in place.
• If the dishes are heavily soiled, place an
additional detergent dose in the pre-wash
detergent chamber. This detergent will take
effect during the pre-wash phase.

20
Operation
Detergent type
There are 3 sorts of detergents:
1. Detergents with phosphate and with chlorine.
2. Detergents with phosphate and without chlorine.
3. Detergents without phosphate and without chloride.
• Normally new pulverized detergent is without phosphate. The water softener function of phosphate
is not given. In this case we recommend to ll salt in the salt container even when the hardness of
water is only 6 dH.
• If detergents without phosphate were used in case of hard water, white spots will appear at the
dishes and glasses. In this case add more detergent to reach better results.
• Detergents without chlorine do only bleach a little. Strong and colored spots will not be removed
completely. In this case choose a program with higher temperature.
DISHWARE MATERIALS
Note: Before using your dishwasher, check the information in this section. Some items are not dishwasher
safe and should be hand washed; others require special loading.
