Electrical connection
Check that the voltage and frequency of the used power source correspond to the information on the
appliance's rating label. Insert the power plug only into aproperly grounded power socket. If the socket to
which the appliance will be connected is not properly grounded, replace the socket rather than using adapters,
etc., which could lead to overheating or burning.
WARNING!
• The incorrect connection of the grounding conductor may create arisk of injury by electrical
shock.
• If you have any doubts about the proper grounding of the appliance, ask aqualied electrician
or service technician for verication.
• Donot modify the power plug supplied with the appliance. If the power plug does not correctly
t into your power socket, ask aqualied electrician to replace it.
Water supply
How to connect the water supply hose?
You must connect the dishwasher to awater supply using anew hose. Donot use perished, old or otherwise
damaged hoses. Water pressure must be in the range 0.04 MPa to 1 MPa. If the water pressure in your system is
lower, ask for advice from our service department.
• Pull out the hose fully from the storage area in the rear part of the dishwasher.
• Screw in the water supply hose to atap with a3/4" thread.
• Fully open the water supply before turning on the dishwasher.
Water supply hose
The water supply hose has double wall.The water lling system guarantees intervention by blocking the water
supply in the event that the water supply hose fails.
WARNING!
The hose connected to the water supply to the sink may break, if the sink is connected to the same
water system as the dishwasher. We recommend that you disconnect the hose and seal the opening.
How to disconnect the water supply hose?
• Shut o the water inlet.
• Reduce water pressure by pressing the reduce pressure button. This will reduce the water pressure and
prevent water from possibly squirting out into the room.
• Unscrew the water supply hose from the water tap.

Cold water supply connection
Connect the water supply hose to the cold water inlet with a3/4" thread and check that you have tightened
it properly. If the hoses are new or have not been used for along time, ush them out with water, to be sure
that they are clean inside with all dirt removed. If you donot dothis, you risk clogging up the water inlet and
damaging the appliance.
Hot water supply connection
You can also connect hot water to the dishwasher (supplied by the central system, heated by the heating
system), if the water temperature does not exceed 60 °C.This will shorten the washing cycle by 15 minutes and
the washing eciency will be slightly reduced.
The connection must be carried out in the same way as for the cold water.
WARNING!
To prevent water from staying in the hose, close the water inlet into the dishwasher.
(This does not apply to dishwashers with the aqua-stop function.)
Connecting the drain hose
Insert the drain hose into the waste water pipe with aminimum diameter of 4cm or leave it lying in the sink
and ensure that it is not bent or dented. Use aspecial plastic bracket supplied with the appliance. The hose
must be at aheight of 40 to 100cm above the ground. The loose end of the hose must not be submerged in
water so that reverse water ow does not occur.
Hang the drain hose using one of the methods A, B, C.

Before rst use
Before you put your dishwasher into operation:
a) set water softening;
b) pour 1/2 litre of water into the salt compartment and ll it up with salt;
c) ll the rinsing aid compartment;
d) ll the dishwashing detergent compartment.
Water softener
Water softening must be set manually using the water hardness dial.
The water softener is made so that it releases minerals and salts contained in water, which would have
anegative eect on the operation of the dishwasher. The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the
harder the water is. You should set the water softener according to the water hardness in your area. Information
about water hardness in your area should be provided by your water supply company.
Setting salt consumption
The dishwasher is designed to enable the adjustment of salt consumption on the basis of the hardness of the
water used. This should optimise and adapt the level of salt consumption.

EN - 11
04/2011
2011
Adjust salt consumption according to the following steps:
• Unscrew the lid of the salt compartment.
• On the compartment there is adial with an arrow (see illustration). If necessary turn the dial anticlockwise,
direction from the symbol "-" to "+" depending on the hardness of the water you are using.
We recommend to make these adjustments according to the following table:

Your water supply company will provide you with information about the hardness of your water.
NOTE:
If your dishwasher does not have awater softening system, you can skip this chapter.
Water softener
Water hardness varies from place to place. If you use hard water in your dishwasher, then there will be particle
deposits on your dishes. The appliance should be equipped with a special softener, which uses the salt
compartment for salt specically designed for eliminating scale and minerals from water.

EN - 12
04/2011
2011
Adding salt into the salt container
Always use salt designed for dishwashers.
The salt compartment is located under the lower rack and you should rell it in the following manner.
NOTE
• Use only salt specically designed for use in dishwashers! Any other kind of salt, which is not
specically designed for use in dishwashers, particularly table salt, would damage the softener
system in the dishwasher. Damage caused by the use of inappropriate salt is not covered by
the manufacturer's guarantee and the manufacturer takes no responsibility for any damages
caused.
• Add the salt before starting one of the full washing cycle programs. This will prevent salt
crystals or salt water from lying at the bottom of the dishwasher, where this could lead to
corrosion.
Open
a) Slide out the lower rack and then unscrew the lid of the salt compartment – see pic. 1.
b) Before the rst wash, pour 1 litre of water into the salt compartment.
c) Place the funnel (included accessory) on the opening of the compartment and pour 1kg of salt into it.
• It is normal for asmaller amount of water to run out of the compartment – see pic. 2.
d) After lling the compartment screw the lid back on by turning it in the clockwise direction.
e) The salt warning indicator light will turn o within 2 - 6 days after the salt compartment has been relled.
f) You should start a washing program immediately after the salt compartment has been relled (we
recommended the rinse or quick wash program). Otherwise the salt water could damage the ltration
system, pump and other important part of the dishwasher. This is not covered by the warranty.
NOTE
• Only rell the salt compartment when the salt warning indicator light on the control panel
lights up. Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the warning indicator light may stay on
even after the salt compartment has been relled.
• If there is no salt warning indicator light on the control panel (on some models), you can
estimate the amount after adding salt to the system by the number of cycles performed by the
dishwasher.
• If salt runs out anywhere, remove it by starting the rinse program or the quick wash program.

EN - 13

Adding rinsing aid
Rinsing aid compartment
• The rinsing aid is released during the last rinse so that water drops donot remain on your dishes causing
stains. It also improves drying due to the fact that all the water ows o the dishes. Your dishwasher is
designed to only be used with aliquid rinsing aid. The rinsing aid compartment is located on the inside
wall of the door next to the dishwashing detergent compartment.
• Fill up the compartment by opening it and pouring in the rinsing aid until the indicator goes completely
dark. The capacity of the rinsing aid compartment is approximately 110ml.
NOTE:
Use only branded dishwasher rinsing aids. Never pour other mixtures (such as liquid detergents, etc.)
into the rinsing aid compartment. Otherwise the dishwasher may be damaged.
When should the rinsing aid be relled?
If there is no rinsing aid warning indicator light on the control panel, you can estimate the amount based on
the colour of the optical indicator "C" located next to the lid. After lling the compartment with rinsing aid the
entire indicator is dark. As the rinsing aid is gradually used up the point of the indicator becomes smaller. Never
allow the amount of rinsing aid to fall below 1/4 of the compartment volume.

1. Open the compartment by turning the lid in the direction of the arrow "open" (to the left) and taking it o.
2. Pour the rinsing aid into the compartment and take care not to overll it.
3. Place the lid back on and tighten it by turning it in the direction of the arrow "closed" (to the right).
NOTE
Wipe any spilled rinsing aid with a wiping cloth, so that excessive suds are not formed in the
following wash. Donot forget to put the lid back on before closing the dishwasher door.
Rinsing aid compartment
Setting dial
(rinse)
The rinsing aid compartment has four or six dierent settings (depending on the model). Always start with the
setting at "4". If stains form on the dishes or if there is aproblem with drying the dishes, increase the released
amount of the rinsing aid by removing the lid and turning the dial to "5". If despite this step the dishes are not
without stains after drying, adjust the setting again to ahigher level until the dishes are clean after drying. The
recommended setting is "4".
(The value set by the manufacturer is "4".)
NOTE:
If there are water drops or scale stains on the dishes after the wash, increase the dosage. If there are
white stains or blueish layers on glasses or knife blades, lower the dosage.

Function of the detergent
Dishwashing detergents with their chemical additives are essential for the removal of soils, their decomposition
and removal from the dishwasher. For this purpose the majority of commercial quality dishwashing detergents
are suitable.
Dishwashing detergents
There are 3 types of dishwashing detergents:
1. containing phosphates and chlorine;
2. containing phosphates and without chlorine;
3. without phosphates and without chlorine.
New dishwashing detergents usually do not contain phosphates. Therefore the softening function of the
phosphates is missing. In such acase we recommended the use of asoftening salt even when the water
hardness is amere 6°dH. If you use dishwashing detergents without phosphates and have hard water, this
leads to the frequent appearance of white stains on dishes and glasses. In such a case you will therefore
achieve better results if you add more dishwashing detergent. Chlorine-free dishwashing detergents whiten
only slightly. For this reason strong and colourful stains will not be completely removed. In such acase select
aprogram with ahigher temperature.
Concentrated dishwashing detergents
Based on their chemical composition dishwashing detergents are divided into two basic types:
• standard, alkaline dishwashing detergents with caustic additives;
• less alkaline dishwashing detergents with natural enzymes.
Using "standard" washing programs in combination with concentrated dishwashing detergents reduces
pollution and is appropriate for your dishes.These programs are specically improved with enzymes, which are
contained in concentrated dishwashing detergents, that can dissolve soils. For this reason you can achieve the
same results with concentrated dishwashing detergents using a"standard" washing program, as you would
achieve only with the use of an "intensive" program.
Dishwashing tablets
The dissolving speed of various brands of dishwashing tablets may dier. For this reason some tablets may not
dissolve during the short programs and therefore fail to perform their cleaning function. So when using tablets
use the long programs to ensure the removal of all dishwashing detergent remains.
Dishwashing detergent compartment
You must ll up the compartment before starting any washing cycle according to the instructions contained in
the dishwashing cycle table.Your dishwasher uses less dishwashing detergent and rinsing aid than an ordinary
dishwasher. Generally a single tablespoon of dishwashing detergent is sucient for a standard wash. For
more heavily soiled dishes you will need more dishwashing detergent. Always add the dishwashing detergent
immediately before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could become damp and subsequently not dissolve
completely.

Amount of used dishwashing detergent
Press to open.
NOTE
• If the lid is closed, press the button. The lid will open.
• Always add the dishwashing detergent immediately before starting each washing cycle.
• Use only branded dishwashing detergents designed for dishwashers.
WARNING!
The dishwashing detergent is corrosive! Keep it out of children's reach.
Using the dishwashing detergent
Use only dishwashing detergent specically designed for use in dishwashers. Store the dishwashing detergent
in adark and dry place.
Donot put dishwashing detergent powder into the compartment unless you intend to start the dishwasher.
Dosage of the dishwashing detergent
Fill the dishwashing detergent compartment.
The mark shows the dosage – see picture.
A. The mark "MIN" in the main wash detergent compartment corresponds to approximately 20g of
dishwashing detergent.
B. The pre-wash detergent compartment will take approximately 5 g of dishwashing detergent.

EN - 17
04/2011
2011
Follow the recommended dosages and storage indicated by the manufacturer on the packaging of the
dishwashing detergent.
Close the lid and press it down until it clicks in.
If the dishes are heavily soiled, also add dishwashing detergent into the pre-wash compartment. This dose will
be used during the pre-wash phase of the wash.
NOTE:
You can nd the information about dishwashing detergent dosages in the washing program table.
Keep in mind that the results may dier depending on the degree of soiling and hardness of the water
used.
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations on the dishwashing detergent package.

PART 5: WASHING DISHES / CUTLERY
Recommendation
• Purchase dishes designated as dishwasher safe.
• Use agentle dishwashing detergent marked as "gentle on dishes". If necessary seek out further information
from the dishwashing detergent manufacturer.
• For certain types of dishes select alower temperature.
• To prevent possible damage, remove glassware and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as possible after
the end of the wash.
Unsuitable are:
• cutlery with wooden, bone or mother-of-pearl handles;
• plastic parts that are not heat resistant;
• older cutlery with glued parts that are not heat resistant;
• glued cutlery or dishes;
• tin or copper dishes;
• crystal glassware;
• metal parts susceptible to corrosion;
• wooden cutting boards;
• dishes made from synthetic bres.
Partially suitable are:
• some types of glass may corrode after several washes;
• silver and aluminium cookware may become discoloured by the wash;
• glazed patterns may fade if washed frequently.
NOTE:
Your dishwasher will achieve the best performance if you follow these instructions for inserting dishes
into the racks.
The function and appearance of the racks and the cutlery basket may dier depending on the model of
the dishwasher.
NOTE:
Donot place any items into the dishwasher soiled by cigarette ash, wax, varnish or paint. When buying
new dishes, check that they are dishwasher safe.
First remove remaining or burned on foods. It is not necessary to wash dishes under running water.
Insert the dishes into the dishwasher as follows.
• Items such as cups, glasses, pots / pans, etc., should be placed bottom up.
• Curved cookware and cookware with projections should be placed at an angle to allow water to freely ow
out.
• Place dishes safely so that they cannot tip over.
• Place dishes in such away that the spraying arms can rotate freely during the wash.
