cable while positioning.
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.
Connect the product to a grounded outlet
protected by a fuse complying with the
values in the “Technical Specications”
table”.
The earthed plug of the machine must be
connected to an earthed outlet supplied
by suitable voltage and current.

PART 4: BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
Preparing your dishwasher for rst
use

installation instructions for the machine.
• Removeallpackagingmaterialinsidethe
machine.
• Setthewatersoftenerlevel.
• Filltherinseaidcompartment.
Salt usage
For a good washing function, the dishwasher needs
soft, i.e. less calcareous water. Otherwise, White lime
residues will remain on the dishes and the interior
equipment. This will negatively aect your machine’s
washing, drying and shining performance. When
water ows through the softener system, the ions
forming the hardness are removed from the water
and the water reaches the softness required to
obtain the best washing result. Depending on the
level of hardness of the inowing water, these ions
that harden the water accumulate rapidly inside the
softener system. Therefore, the softener system has
to be refreshed so that it operates with the same
performance also during the next wash. For this
purpose, dishwasher salt is used.
Machine can only be used by special dishwasher salt
to soften the water. Do not use any small grained
or powdered type of salts which can easily soluble.
Using any other type of salt can damage your
machine.
Fill the salt
To add softener salt, open the salt compartment cap
by turning it counter clockwise. (1) (2) At rst use, ll
the compartment with 1 kg salt and water (3) until it
is almost overowing. If available, using a funnel (4)
will make lling easier. Replace the cap and close it.
After every 20-30 Cycles add salt into your machine
until it lls up (approx. 1 kg).
 
 
6$/7
!!!
The salt compartment should only be lled with
water when the appliance is used for the rst
time.
Only salt intended for use in dishwashers should
be used.
When salt overows and gets out of the salt
container, launch a short washing programme
to protect the dishwasher from corrosion.
Otherwise there is a risk of corrosion forming in
the dishwasher.

Detergent usage
Only use detergents specically designed for
domestic dishwashers. Keep your detergents in cool,
dry places out of reach of children. Add the proper
detergent for the selected program to ensure the
best performance. The amount of detergent needed
depends on the cycle, load size, and soil level of
dishes. Do not ll detergent into the detergent
compartment more than required; otherwise you
can see whitish streaks or bluish layers on glass and
dishes and may cause glass corrosion. Continued use
of too much detergent may cause machine damage.
Using little detergent can result in poor cleaning and
you can see whitish streaksin hard water. See the
detergent manufacturer’s instructions for a further
information.
Filling the detergent
Push the latch to open the dispenser and pour in the
detergent.
Close the lid and press it until it locks in place. The
dispenser should be relled just before the start of
each programme. If the dishes are heavily soiled,
place additional detergent in the pre-wash detergent
chamber.
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, salt 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 water hardness and rinse aid settings are set
to the correct level.
Rinse-aid usage
The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes without streaks
and stains. Rinse-aid is required for stain-free utensils
and clear glasses. The rinse aid is automatically
released during the hot rinse phase. If rinse aid
dosage setting set too low, whitish stains remains on
dishes and dishes do not dry and washed clean.
If rinse aid dosage setting set too height, you can see
bluish layers on glass and dishes.
Filling the rinse-aid and setting
To ll the rinse aid compartment, open the rinse-aid
compartment cap. Fill the compartment with rinse
aid to the MAX level and then close the cap. Be
careful not to overll the rinse aid compartment and
wipe up any spills.
In order to change the rinse aid level, follow the
below steps before turning on the machine:
• Turn on the machine by pressing the On/O
button.
• PresstheProgrammebuttonforatleast5seconds
immediately after the machine is turned on.
• Release the Programme button when “rA” is

is displayed.
• Setthelevelbypushingtheprogrammebutton.
• Switchothemachinetosavethesetting.
• Thefactorysettingis“4”.
If the dishes are not drying properly or are spotted,
increase the level. If blue stains form on your dishes,
decrease the level.

PART 5: LOADING YOUR DISHWASHER
For best results, follow these loading guidelines.
Loading the household dishwasher up to the capacity
indicated by the manufacturer will contribute to
energy and water savings.
Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to
increased water and energy consumption and is not
recommended
You can place cups, glasses, stemware, small plates,
bowls, etc. in upper basket. Do not lean long glasses
against one another or they cannot remain steady
and may receive damage.
When placing long stem glasses and goblets, lean
them against the basket edge or rack and not against
other items.
Place all containers such as cups, glasses and pots into
the dishwasher with the opening facing downwards
otherwise water can collect on items.
If there is cutlery basket in machine, you are
recommended to use the cutlery grid in order to
obtain the best result. Place all large (pots, pans, lids,
plates, bowls etc.) and very dirty items in the lower
rack.
Dishes and cutlery should not be placed above each
other.
WARNING!
Take care not to obstruct the rotation of
spray arms.
WARNING!
Make sure after loading the dishes do not
prevent opening the detergent dispenser.
Recommendations
Remove any coarse residue on dishes before placing
the dishes in the machine. Start the machine with full
load.
NOTE:
Do not overload the drawers or place dishes in the
wrong basket.
WARNING!
To avoid any possible injuries, place long-
handle and sharp- pointed knives with their
sharp points facing down or horizontally on
the baskets.
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.
