Installation Instructions
Advice regarding the first wash cycle
After the appliance has been installed, immediately before running the first wash cycle, completely
fill the dispenser of Rinse (see Rinse aid).
Positioning the Appliance
Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind it, and
the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and
drain hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left to facilitate proper installation.
Levelling the Appliance
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them in or out) to adjust the height of the
dishwasher, making it level. In any case, the appliance should not be inclined more than 2.
NOTE: The maximum adjustment height of the feet is 20 mm.
How to Drain Excess Water from Hoses
If the sink is 1000mm higher from the floor, the excess water in hoses cannot be drained directly
into the sink. It will be necessary to drain excess water from hoses into a bowl or a suitable
container that is held outside and lower than the sink.
Water Outlet
Connect the water drain hose. The drain hose must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks.
Ensure that the water inlet hose is not kinked or squashed.
Extension Hose
If you need a drain hose extension, observe to use a similar drain hose.
It must be no longer than 4 metres; otherwise the cleaning effect of the dishwasher could be
reduced.
Syphon Connection
The waste connection must be at a height of between 50cm (minimum) and 100cm (maximum)
from the bottom of the dish. The water drain hose should be fixed by a hose clip.
Things to check before starting the dishwasher
The followings should be checked before starting the dishwasher:
•Whether the dishwasher is level and fixed
•Whether the inlet valve is opened
•Whether there is leakage at the connections of the conducts
•Whether the wires are tightly connected
•Whether the power is switched on
•Whether the inlet and drain hoses are knotted
•All packing materials and printings should be taken out from the dishwasher

1. Fill the rinse aid dispenser
2. Function of detergent
1. Fill the rinse aid dispenser
Function of Rinse Aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, spot and streak
free drying.
Attention!
Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other
substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.
When to Refill the Rinse Aid Dispenser
You can judge the amount of rinse-aid by the colour of the optical level indicator "D" located next to
the cap. When the rinse-aid container is full, the whole indicator will be dark. As the rinse aid
diminishes, the size of the dark dot decreases. You should never let the rinse aid get below 1 / 4 full.
As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as
illustrated below.

Operating Instructions
RINSE AID DISPENSER
•To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the "open" (left) arrow and lift it out.
•Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, be careful not to overfill.
•Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with "open" arrow and turning it to the "closed" (right)
arrow.
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes
that can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to sheet off the dishes.
Your dishwashers are designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the
door next to the detergent dispenser.
To fill the dispenser, open the cap and pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator
turns completely black. The volume of the rinse aid container is about 140ml.
Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, because this could cause over suds. Wipe away any spills
with a damp cloth. Don't forget to replace the cap before you close dishwasher door.
Attention!
Clean up any rinse aid split during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the
next wash.
Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser has four or six settings. Always start with the dispenser set on "4" If spots
and poor drying are Problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by removing the
dispenser lid and rotating the dial to "5”. If the dishes still are not drying properly or are spotted,
adjust the dial to the next higher number until your dishes are spot-free. The dose is factory set in
position 5.
NOTE: Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing.
Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife
blades.

Operating Instructions
2. Function of detergent
Detergents with its chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport it out
of the dishwasher. Most of commercial quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.
Concentrated Detergent
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher can be split in two basic types:
•conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components
•low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes
The use of "normal" washing programme in conjunction with concentrated detergents reduces
pollution and is good for your dishes; these washing programmes are specially matched to the dirt
dissolving properties of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For this reason, “normal"
washing programme in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that
can otherwise only be achieved using “intensive" programme.
Detergent Tablets
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason, some detergent
cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programmes. Therefore please
use long programmes when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent
residuals.
Detergent Dispenser
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each washing cycle following the instructions
provided in the Wash Cycle Table. Your dishwashers use less detergent and rinse aid than
conventional dishwashers. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed fora normal wash
load. Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before
starting dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.
Amount of Detergent to Use
1
NOTE:
•If the lid is closed: press release button. The lid springs open.
•Always add the detergent just before starting each wash cycle. Only use branded detergent
aid for dishwasher.
•Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and
dry.
•Don't put powder detergent into the dispenser until you're ready to wash dishes.
