⚫DO NOT under any circumstances, cut or remove the grounding
connection from the power cord

Water Connection
Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4
inch connector and make sure that it is fastened tightly
in place. If the water pipes are new or have not been
used for an extended period of time, let the water run
first to make sure that the water is clean and free of dirt.
If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk that the
water inlet can get blocked and damage the appliance.
Please Note: If the supplied hose does not fit your tap, please contact your local
plumbing supply center where adapters are available for purchase.
Drain Hose Connection
The connection of the drain pipe: Put the end of the drain to a sink or bucket.
How to Drain Excess Water
If the sink is 1000 mm higher or more than the floor, the excess water in hoses
cannot be drained directly to the sink. It will be necessary to drain the excess water
from hoses into a bowl or suitable container that placed outside and is lower than
the sink.
Water Outlet
Connect the water drain hose. The drain hose must be installed properly to avoid
water leaks. Ensure that the water drain hose is not kinked or crushed.
Install the drain pipe to the back pipe
of the machine. The interface is fitted
with clamps and tightened with a
screwdriver.

Filling the Salt Container
If your model does not have salt container, you may skip this section. The salt
container is located beneath the basket and should be filled as follows:
A. Remove the basket and remove the cap from the salt container by rotating it
counter clockwise.
B. Before the first wash, add 1 liter of water to the salt container of your machine.
C. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) on the hole and add about 0.13 kg of salt.
It is normal when a small amount of water come out from the salt container.
D. After filling the container, place the cap tightly by rotating it in clockwise direction.
E. Usually, the salt warning lightwill turns off within 2-6days after the salt container
has been filled.
F. A washing program should be started (Rapid program suggested) immediately
after filling the salt container. Otherwise the filter system, pump or other
important parts of the machine may get damaged by the salt water. This will
cancel the product warranty.
WARNING!
⚫Only use salt specifically designed for dishwashers use! Other types of
salt that not specifically designed for dishwasher use, especially table
salt, will damage the water softener. In case of damage caused by the
use of unsuitable salt, the manufacturer does not give any warranty nor
is liable for any damage.
⚫Only fill the salt before running a cycle. This will prevent any grains of salt
or salty water that might spill, remain on the bottom of the machine for
any period of time, which may cause corrosion.

Filling The Detergent
Concentrated Detergent
Based on their chemical composition, detergents can be divided in two basic types:
⚫Conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components.
⚫Low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.
The use of Normal washing program in combination with concentrated detergent
reduces pollution and is good for your dishes.
Detergent Tablets
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason
some detergent tablets cannot dissolve and maximize their full cleaning power with
short programs. Therefore, please use long programs when using detergent tablets,
to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.
Detergent
The detergent must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the
instructions provided in the Wash Cycle Table. Your dishwasher uses less detergent
than conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is
needed for a normal wash load. More heavily soiled items need more detergent.
Always add the detergent before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get
damp and will not dissolve properly.
Adding Detergent
Insert detergent into the designated box.
Note: Fruit wash program should not use detergent
WARNING!
⚫Only use detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. Never use any
other detergents as it will damage the appliance
⚫Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Keep out of reach from the children
