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
the water drain hole or to the sink outlet spigot.
This connection should be minimum 50 cm
and maximum 110 cm from the floor.
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.
The indoor fuse current value
should be 10-16 A.

4.3. 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,
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 rinse
aid setting set to correct level.
4.4. 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.
4.5 Filling the rinse-aid and setting
To fill the rinse aid compartment, open
the rinse-aid compartment cap. Fill the
compartment with rinse aid to the MA level
and then close the cap. Be careful not to

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 down.
Upper Basket
The upper basket includes a mechanism
which enables the height of the basket to be
adjusted up (1) or down (2) without having
to remove the basket. Hold the basket on
both sides and pull it up or push it down,
ensuring both sides of the upper basket are
in the same position.
Height Adjustable Rack (peg type)
The height adjustable racks enable glasses
and cups to be placed on or under the
racks. The racks can be adjusted to 2
different heights. Cutlery and utensils can
also be placed on the racks horizontally.

8. CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning your Dishwasher is important
to maintain the machine’s service life.
Oil and limescale may build up in your
Dishwasher over time. If this occurs:
• Fill the detergent compartment
but do not load any dishes. Select
a programme which runs at high
temperature and run the Dishwasher
empty. If this does not clean your
Dishwasher sufficiently, use a
cleaning agent designed for use with
dishwashers.
•Wipe the door seals regularly
with a damp cloth to remove any
accumulated residue.
8.1. Cleaning machine and filters
Clean the filters and spray arms at least
once a week. If any food waste remains on
the coarse and fine filters, remove them and
clean them thoroughly with water.

of the micro filter (2).Then pull and remove
the metal filter (3).Rinse the filter with lots of
water until it is free of residue. Reassemble
the filters. Replace the filter insert, and
rotate it clockwise (4).
• Never use your Dishwasher without a
filter.
• Incorrect fitting of the filter will reduce
the washing effectiveness.
• Clean filters are necessary for proper
running of the machine.
8.2. Spray arms
Make sure that the spray holes are not
clogged and that no food waste is stuck
to the spray arms. If there is any clogging,
remove the spray arms and clean them
under water. To remove the upper spray
arm undo the nut holding it in position
by turning it clockwise and pulling it
downwards. Make sure that the nut is
properly tightened when refitting the upper
spray arm.
