Water connection
We recommend fitting a filter to your water inlet supply in order to prevent damage to your
machine due to contamination (sand, rust, etc.) from indoor plumbing. This will also help
prevent yellowing and deposit formation after washing.
NOTE PRINTING ON THE WATER INLET HOSE!
If models are marked with 25°, the water temperature may
be max. 25 °C (cold water).
For all other models:
Cold water preferred; hot water max. temperature 60 °C.
Water inlet hose
WARNING
• Use the new water inlet hose supplied with your machine,
do not use an old machine’s hose.
• Run water through the new hose before connecting.
• 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.

7EN

Before using the appliance
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.
Salt usage (IF AVAILABLE)
• 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
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 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.

12 EN

Fill the salt (IF AVAILABLE)
To add softener salt, open the salt compartment cap by turning it counter clockwise.
1 2
At first use, fill the compartment with 1 kg salt and water 3until it is almost overflowing. If
available, using a funnel 4will make filling easier. Replace the cap and close it. After every
20-30 Cycles add salt into your mach until it fills up (approx. 1 kg).

SALT
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.

Water Softener System
The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which reduces the hardness in the mains
water supply. To find out the hardness level of your tap water, contact your water company or
use the test strip (if available).

Setting
• Turn on the machine by pressing the On/Off button.
• Press the Program button for at least 3 seconds immediately after the machine is turned on.
• Release the Program button when “SL” is shown. Next, the last setting level is displayed.
• Press the program button to set the desired level. Each press of the program button increases

Detergent usage
• Only use detergents specifically 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 fill 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.

the pre-wash detergent chamber.
DETERGENT
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 instead. 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.

16 EN
Using the appliance
B
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 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.
In order to change the rinse aid level, follow the below steps before turning on the machine:
• Push the programme button and hold it down.
• Turn the machine on.
• Hold down the programme button until “rA” disappears from the display. Rinse aid setting
follows water hardness setting.
• The machine will display the last setting.
• Set the level by pushing the programme button.
• Switch off 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.
