Loading the salt into the softener
• If your model does not have any water softener, you may skip this section.
• Always use salt 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. 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.

WARNING
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:
SALT
1. Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.
2. Place the end of the funnel (if supplied) into the hole and pour in about 1 kg 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 turn off 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 to use a short program). Otherwise the filter system, pump or other
important parts of the machine may be damaged by salty water. This is out of warranty.
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.

About power connection
WARNING
For personal safety:
• Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug with this
appliance.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the
earthing connection from the power cord.
Electrical requirements
Please look at the rating label to know the rating voltage and connect the dishwasher to
the appropriate power supply. Use the required fuse 10A/13A/16A, time delay fuse or circuit
breaker recommended and provide separate circuit serving only this appliance.
Electrical connection
Ensure the voltage and frequency of the power being corresponds to those on the rating
plate. Only insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthed properly. If the electrical
socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace the
socket, rather than using a adaptors or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.
WARNING

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.
• This precaution is needed to avoid the risk of the water inlet to be blocked and damage the
appliance.
ordinary supply hose
safety supply hose
About the safety supply hose
• The safety supply hose consists of the double walls. The system guarantees its intervention
by blocking the flow of water in case of the supply hose breaking and when the air space
between the supply hose itself and the outer corrugated hose is full of water.
WARNING
A hose that attaches to tap can burst if it is installed on the
same water line as the dishwasher. If your sink has one,
it is recommended that the hose be disconnected and the
hole plugged.

to standard loading options.
Function of the rinse aid and detergent
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on
your dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to
run off the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids.
WARNING
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?
• Unless the rinse-aid warning light ( ) on the control panel is on, you can always estimate
the amount from the color of the optical level indicator located next to the cap. When the
rinse-aid container is full, the indicator will be fully dark. The size of the dark dot decreases
as the rinse-aid diminishes. You should never let the rinse aid level be less than 1/4 full.
• As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator
changes, as illustrated below.

When not in use for a long time
• It is recommend 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 odors 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.
