02 INSTALLING
WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN
Cold 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 to make sure that the water is clear and free of
impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk that the water inlet
can get blocked and damage the appliance.
Provided water supply hose has the aqua-safe system. Ensure that
water supply hose’s aqua-safe pipe is connected to the faucet.
Hot water connection
The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to the house hot water line (centralized
system, heating system), as long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60 °C. In this case, the
wash cycle time will be shortened by about 15 minutes and the wash eciency slightly reduced.
The connection must be made to the hot water line following the same procedures as those for
the connection to the cold water line.
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.
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 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, Use a similar size and quality drain hose.
It must be no longer than 4 metres; otherwise the cleaning eect of the dishwasher could be
reduced.
Syphon connection
The waste connection must be at a height of between 40 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum)
from the bottom of the dishwasher. The water drain hose should be fixed by a hose clip.
Aqua-safe
The Aqua-safe System is a safety valve system, preventing water leaks. If the water inlet hose
starts to leak anytime, the safety valve cuts o the running water. If the water inlet hose or the
safety valve is damaged, remove & replace it.
Do not enlarge or shorten the inlet hose.

LOADING THE SALT INTO THE SOFTENER
Always use salt intended for use with dishwasher.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:
ATTENTION
• Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers! All other types of salt not specifically
designed for use in a dishwasher, 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 caused damages.
• Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programs. This will prevent any
grains of salt or salty water, which may have been split, remaining of the bottom of the machine for
any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
• After the first wash cycle the control panel light expires.
1. Remove the lower basket and then unscrew and remove the cap from
the salt container.
Open
2. If you are filling the container for the first time, fill 2/3 of its volume with water (around 1 liter).
3. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce about
1,5 kg of salt. It is Normal for a small amount of water to come out of
the salt container.
4. Carefully screw the cap back on.
5. Usually, the salt warning light will be o after the salt container be filled with salt.
• The salt container must be refilled when the salt warning light in the control panel comes on.
Though the salt container is filled enough, the indicator light may not light may not switch o until
the salt fully dissolves.
If there is no salt warning light in the control panel, you can judge when to load the salt into the
softener by the cycles that the dishwasher has run.
• If a lot of salt is spilt inside the dishwasher run a pre wash program to clan the spillage.

FILL THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
Function of rinse aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and 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
If there is no rinse-aid warning light in the control panel, 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.

Rinse Aid dispenser
1. To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the “open” (left) arrow
and lift it out.
2. Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to
overfill.
3. 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 water to run
o the dishes.
Your dishwashers is 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 130 ml.
Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, because this could cause over sudsing. 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 spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid
excess foaming during the next wash.
Adjusting rinse aid dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser has four settings. Always start with the
dispenser set on “3”. If spots and poor drying are problems,
increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by removing the
dispenser lid and rotating the dial to “4”. We suggest you to set
on “3” (Factory value is “3”).
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.

03 DETERGENT AND WATER SOFTENER
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.
WARNING: Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out of reach of children.
Proper Use of Detergent
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.
Concentrated detergent
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergent 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 programmes in conjunction with concentrated detergents reduces
pollution and is good for your dishes; these wash programmes are specially matched to the
dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For this reason “normal”
wash programmes in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that
can otherwise only be achieved using “intensive” programmes.
Detergent tablets
Detergent tablets of dierent brands dissolve at dierent speeds. For this reason some detergent
tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programmes.
Therefore please use long programmes when using detergent tablets, to unsure the complete
removal of detergent residuals.
Detergent dispenser
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions
provided in the Wash Cycle Table. Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid then
conventional dishwashers. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal
wash load. Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just
before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.
Fill the detergent in dispenser
1. If the lid is closed: press release button. The lid springs
open.
Push latch to open
Push latch to open
2. Always add the detergent just before starting each

A. This section is for main wash detergent, approximately
25g
B. This section is for the pre wash detergent,
approximately 5g
If the dishes are heavily soiled, place an additional
detergent dose in the pre-wash detergent chamber. This
detergent will take eect during the pre-wash phase.
You can find information about the amount of detergent
for the single programmes on the “Wash cycle table”.
(See page 23)
Please be aware, that according to the soiling level and
the specific hardness of water dierences are possible.

2. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.
Please observe the manufacturers dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the
detergent packaging.
Detergents
There are 3 sorts of detergents.
1. With phosphate and with chlorine.
2. With phosphate and without chlorine.
3. Without phosphate and without chloride.
Normally new pulverised detergent is without phosphate. The water softener function of
phosphate is not given. In this case we recommend to fill salt in the salt container even when the
hardness of water is only 6 dH. If detergents without phosphate were used in case of hard water
often white spots appear at dishes and glasses. In this case please add more detergent to reach
better results. Detergents without chlorine do only bleach a little. Strong and coloured spots will
not removed completely. In this case please choose a programme with higher temperature.

HOW TO USE THE 3 IN 1 OPTION
Your dishwasher has a 3 in 1 option which does not need salt and rinse aid but a 3 In1 tablet. This option
can select on Intensive, Auto or Eco program only.
The 3 in 1 setting is only for use with 3 in 1 tablets. If using 3 in 1 tablet without this option, the
appliance will not get it’s best performance.
1. Put the 3 in 1 tablet into the container then start the 3 in 1 option.
2. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.
When using 3 in 1 compact combination detergents ensure that
the lid can be closed correctly.
ATTENTION: Keep all detergents in a safe place out of

Loading the dishwasher racks
For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines.
Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your
model.
Attention before or after loading the dishwasher racks
Scrape o any large amounts of leftover food. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running
water. Place objects in the dishwasher in the following order:
1. Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are stood upside down.
2. Curved items, or those with recesses, should be at a slant so that water can run o.
3. They are stacked securely and can not tip over.
4. They do not prevent the spray arms from rotating while washing takes place.
Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the racks.
Removing the dishes
To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower basket, we recommend that you empty
the lower basket first and then the upper basket.
LOADING THE UPPER BASKET
The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coee and tea
cups and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty).
Position the dishes and cookware so that they will not get moved by the spray of water. Always place
glasses, cups & bowls upside down.

Adjusting the Upper Basket
The height of the upper basket can be adjusted in order to create more space for large utensils
both for the upper/lower basket.
1. To lower the upper rack, press the “A”
levers located at the left and right sides
of the upper basket and push the upper
basket downwards slightly at the same
time.
2. To raise the upper rack, just pull the
upper basket upwards without operating
any levers.
Caution: We recommend adjusting
the height of the upper basket before
loading dishes into the basket. If you
adjust the the basket after loading the
dishes, you may damage the dishes. To lower position To upper position

04 LOADING THE RACKS
LOADING THE LOWER BASKET
We recommend that you place large items which are most dicult to clean in to the lower rack: pots, pans,
lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure to the right.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the racks in order to avoid blocking the
rotation of the top spray arm. Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed top down.
Deep pots should be slanted to allow water to flow out.
The bottom rack feature fold down tine rows so that larger or more pots and pans can be loaded.

Long items, serving cutlery, salad servers and big knives should be placed on the shelf so that they do
not obstruct the rotation of the spray arms.
FOLDING SPIKES OF LOWER BASKET
For better stacking of pots and pans, the spikes can be folded down
as show in the picture right.
