USING YOUR DISHWASHER
Before using your dishwasher:
NOTE
Please check the section 1 “Water Softener” of PART II: Special Version, If you need to set the water softener .
NOTE
If your model does not have any water softener compartment, you may skip this section. Always use salt that
is intended for dishwasher use. The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as
explained in the following:
WARNING!
• Only use salt specifically designed for dishwashers use!
Every other type of salt not specifically designed for dishwasher use, especially table salt, will damage the water
softener compartment. In case of damages caused by the use of unsuitable salt the manufacturer does not give
any warranty nor is liable for any damages caused.
• Only fill with salt before running a cycle.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the
machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
Please follow the steps below for adding dishwasher salt:
1. Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir
cap.
2. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole
and pour in about 1.5kg of dishwasher salt.
3. Fill the salt container to its maximum limit with water,
it is normal for a small amount of water to come out
of the salt container.
4. After filling the container, screw back the cap tightly.
5. The salt warning light will stop shining after the salt
container has been filled with salt.
6. Immediately after filling the salt into the salt
container, a washing program should be started
(We suggest using a short program). Otherwise the
filter system, pump or other important parts of the
machine may be damaged by salty water. This is
void of warranty.
1. Set the water softener
2. Loading salt into the softener compartment

ENG
NOTE
• The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light ( ) in the control panel comes on.
Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be on even though the salt container is
filled.
If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (for some models), you can estimate when to fill the salt into
the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher has run.
• If salt has spilled, run a soak or quick program to remove it.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
External Care
The door and door seal
Clean the door seals regularly with a soft damp cloth to remove food deposits. When the dishwasher is being
loaded, food and drink residues may drip onto the sides of the dishwasher door. These surfaces are outside the
wash cabinet and are not accessed by water from the spray arms. Any deposits should be wiped off before the
door is closed.
The control panel
If cleaning is required, the control panel should be wiped with a soft damp cloth ONLY.
WARNING!
• To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any
kind.
• Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they may scratch the finish. Some
paper towels may also scratch or leave marks on the surface.
Internal Care
Filtering system
The filtering system in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse debris from the washing cycle, including foreign
objects such as tooth picks or shards. The collected coarse debris may cause the filters to clog. Check the condition
of the filters regularly, carefully remove foreign objects and clean the parts of the filtering system if necessary
with water. Follow the steps below to clean the filter.
NOTE
Pictures are only for reference, different models of the filtering system and spray arms may be different. Please
prevail in kind.
Hold the coarse filter and rotate it counterclockwise to
unlock the filter. Lift the filter upwards and out of the
dishwasher.
The fine filter can be pulled off the bottom of the filter
assembly.The coarse filter can be detached from the
main filter by gently squeezing the tabs at the top and
pulling it away.

Frost precaution
Please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in winter. After every washing cycles, please operate as
follows:
1. Cut off the electrical power to the dishwasher at the power source.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3. Drain the water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to gather the water)
4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
5. Remove the filter at the bottom of the tub and use a sponge to soak up water in the sump.
After every wash
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly open for a while so that
moisture and odours are not trapped inside.
Remove the plug
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket.
No solvents or abrasive cleaning
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Only
use a cloth with warm soapy water.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar, or a
cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
When not in use for a long time
It is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the
socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly open. This will help the door seals to
last longer and prevent odours from forming within the appliance.
Moving the appliance
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned
on its back.
Seals
One of the factors that cause odours to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic
cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.
