Loading The Salt Into The Softener
Only use salt specifically designed for dishwashers use!
Every other type of salt not specifically designed for dishwasher use,
especially table 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 damages caused.
Only fill with salt before running a cycle.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been
spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time,
which may cause corrosion.
WARNING
Always use salt intended for dishwasher use.
The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as
explained in the following:
Please check the section 1 “Water Softener” of PART Ⅱ: Special Version,
If you need to set the water softener .

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
External Care
The door and the door seal
Clean the door seals regularly with a soft damp cloth to remove food deposits.
When the dishwasher is being loaded, food and drink residues may drip onto the
sides of the dishwasher door. These surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not
accessed by water from the spray arms. Any deposits should be wiped off before the
door is closed.
The control panel
If cleaning is required, the control panel should be wiped with a soft damp cloth only.
To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components,
do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.
Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because
they may scratch the finish. Some paper towels may also scratch or leave
marks on the surface.
WARNING
Internal Care
Filtering system
The filtering system in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse debris from the
washing cycle. The collected coarse debris may cause the filters to clog. Check the
condition of the filters regularly and clean them if necessary under running water.
Follow the steps below to clean the filters in the wash cabinet.
NOTE:
Pictures are only for reference, different models of the filtering system and spray
arms may be different.

bottom of the filter assembly.
The coarse filter can be detached
from the main filter by gently
squeezing the tabs at the top and
pulling it away.

order of the disassembly, replace the
filter insert, and rotate clockwise to
the close arrow.
Do not over tighten the filters. Put the filters back in sequence securely,
otherwise coarse debris could get into the system and cause a blockage.
Never use the dishwasher without filters in place. Improper replacement of
the filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage
dishes and utensils.

Caring For The Dishwasher
Frost precaution
Please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in winter. Every time after
washing cycles, please operate as follows:
1. Cut off the electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3. Drain the water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to gather the water)
4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
5. Remove the filter at the bottom of the tub and use a sponge to soak up water in
the sump.
After every wash
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly
open 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. Only use a cloth with warm soapy water.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with
water an a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
When not in use for a longtime
It is recommend 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 open. This will help the door seals to last longer and prevent odors
from forming within 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 odours to form in the dishwasher is food that remains
trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from
occurring.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
Ensure the voltage and frequency of the power being corresponds to those on the
rating plate. Only insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthed properly. If
the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for
the plug, replace the socket, rather than using a adaptors or the like as they could
cause overheating and burns.
