WARNING: Use the new water inlet
hose supplied with your machine, do not
use an old machine’s hose.
WARNING: Run water through the
new hose before connecting.
WARNING: Connect the hose
directly to the water inlet tap. The pressure
supplied by the tap should be a minimum
of 0.03 MPa and a maximum of 1 MPa. If
the pressure exceeds 1 MPa, a pressure
relief valve must be fitted between the
connection.
WARNING: After the connections are
made, turn the tap on fully and check
for water leaks. Always turn off the
water inlet tap after a wash
program has finished.
An Aqua-stop water spout is
available with some models. Do not
damage it or allow it to become
kinked or twisted.
2.4. Drain Hose

4. BEFORE USING THE
APPLIANCE
4.1. Preparing your dishwasher for
first use
• Make sure the electricity and supply
water specifications match the values
indicated in the installation instructions
for the machine.
• Remove all packaging material inside
the machine.
• Set the water softener level.
• Fill the rinse aid compartment.
4.2 Salt usage (IF AVAILABLE)
For a good washing function, the
dishwasher needs soft, i.e. less calcareous
water. Otherwise, white lime residue
will remain on the dishes and the interior
equipment. This will negatively affect your
machine’s washing, drying, and shining
performance. When water flows 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
inflowing water, these ions that harden
the water accumulate rapidly inside the
softener system. Therefore, the softener
system must be refreshed so that it
operates with the same performance
during the next wash. For this
purpose, dishwasher salt is used.
Only use 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
the machine.
4.3. Fill the salt (IF AVAILABLE)
To add softener salt, open the salt
compartment cap by turning it
counterclockwise (1&2) At first use, fill the
compartment with 1kg salt and water (3) until
it is almost overflowing. If available, using a
funnel (4) will make filling easier. Replace the
cap and close it. After every 20-30 Cycles,
add salt to the machine until it is filled
(approx.1kg).
1 2
3 4
Only add water to the salt compartment
on first use.
Use softener salt specifically produced for
use in dishwashers.
When you start your dishwasher, the salt
compartment is filled with water, therefore
put the softener salt in prior to starting your
machine.
If the softener salt has overflowed and you
do not start the machine immediately, run
a short washing program to protect your
machine against corrosion.

• Hold down the “Start/Pause” button until the lights flash and “SL” disappears.
• The machine will display the last setting.
• Set the level by pushing the “Start/Pause” button.
• Switch off the machine to save the setting.
4.8. Detergent usage
Only use detergents specifically designed for domestic dishwashers.
Add the recommended amount of detergent for the selected program to ensure the best
performance.
Keep your detergents in cool, dry places out of reach of children.
See the detergent manufacturer’s instructions for further information.

13
Continued use of too much detergent may
cause machine damage.
Using little detergent can result in
poor cleaning and you can see whitish
streaks in hard water. See the
detergent manufacturer’s instructions
for further information.
4.9. 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 refilled just
before the start of each program. If the
dishes are heavily soiled, place additional
detergent in the pre-wash detergent
chamber.
4.10. 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 programs.
Please use powder detergents in such
programs.
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.
4.11. 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 wash
clean. If rinse aid dosage setting
set too heigh, you can see blueish layers
on glass and dishes.
4.12. Filling the rinse-aid and setting
To fill 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 overfill the rinse aid compartment and
wipe up any spills.
To change the rinse aid level, follow the
below steps before turning on the machine:
• Turn the knob to the “off” position.
• Push the “Start/Pause” button and hold
it down.
• Turn the knob counter clockwise one
step.
• Hold down the “Start/Pause” button until
the LEDs flash twice.
• The machine will display the current
setting.
• Set the level by pushing the “Start/
Pause” button.
• Turn the knob to the “off” position 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.

maintain the machine’s service life
Ensure the water softening setting (If
available) is done correctly and the
correct amount of detergent is used to
prevent limescale accumulation. Refill the
salt compartment when the salt sensor
light comes on.
Oil and limescale may build up in your
Dishwasher over time. If this occurs:
• Fill the detergent compartment
but do not load any dishes. Select
a program which runs at high
temperature and run the Dishwasher
empty. If this does not clean your
Dishwasher sufficiently, use a
cleaning agent designed for
dishwasher use.
• To extend the life of your dishwasher,
clean the appliance regularly.
• Wipe the door seals regularly with a
damp cloth to remove any accumulated
residue or foreign objects.
8.1. Filters
Clean the filters and spray arms at least
once a week. If there are any food
waste remains, or foreign objects on
thecoarse and fine filters, remove them
and clean the filters thoroughly with
