INSTALL THE APPLIANCE

Placement of the product

•When choosing the place of installation, make sure you will be able to easily load and remove dishes and utensils from the dishwasher.

•Do not place the appliance in a room where the temperature can fall below 0°C.

•Before installing unpack the appliance following the instructions on the packaging.

•Place the appliance close to the water valve and drain. When installing the dishwasher assume that the connection will not be changed.

•When you move the appliance do not handle it by the door or control panel.

•Leave some room on all sides to have convenient access to the dishwasher when cleaning.

•Make sure that when you set the dishwasher you do not crush the water supply and drain hose. Also, make sure that the appliance is not places on the power cord.

•Level the appliance using the adjustable legs. Proper level ensures trouble-free opening and closing the dishwasher doors.

•If the dishwasher door will not close properly, check that the appliance stands firmly on the floor, if not, adjust using the adjustable legs.

Water supply connection

Make sure that domestic water supply system is suitable for the dishwasher. It is recommended to install a filter in the water supply line to avoid damage to the appliance due to impurities (such as sand, clay, rust, etc.) that occasionally occur in water. This will also prevent accumulation of sediment after dishwashing.

Water supply hose

Do not use the water supply hose from the old dishwasher. Use the new water supply hose provided with the appliance. Before connecting, rinse the hose with water. Connect the water supply hose directly to the

water feed valve. The domestic water system pressure should be at least 0.03 MPa and up to 1 MPa. If the water pressure exceeds 1 MPa, install pressure reducing valve.

When the connection is ready, open the valve completely and check for leaks.

For safety reasons, close the water supply tap after every wash.

		NOTE: Aquastop water supply is used in
	i
		some dishwasher models. Dangerous volt-
		age could occur with Aquastop. Do not cut
		the Aquastop water supply. Do not allow it
		to bend or twist

Important!

For safety reasons, close the water tap after every wash

The drain hose

The drain hose can be connected directly to a water drain or kitchen sink stub pipe. You can also drain the water directly into the sink using the special bracket (if available), placing the drain hose outlet on the kitchen sink edge. The drain hose connection should be made at least 50 cm and up to 110 cm from the floor.

min 50cm / max 110cm

min 50cm / max 110cm

If the drain hose is longer than 4 m, dishes may not be washed properly. The manufacturer is not be held responsible for such a situation

INSTALL THE APPLIANCE

Electrical connection

Grounded plug must be connected to a grounded power outlet with a proper voltage. If there is no grounding, refer this to a qualified electrician. If you operate the appliance without proper grounding, the manufacturer does not assume any liability for the possible resulting damage.

Domestic electrical system must be protected with a 10-16A fuse.

The appliance must be supplied with 220240 V AC. If the supply voltage is 110 V, use 3000W, 110/220 V set-up transformer to connect the appliance. Do not connect the appliance during installation.

Always use the plug provided with the appliance. When you operate the appliance

at lower voltage the dishwashing efficiency will deteriorate and may damage the appliance.

The power cord may only be replaced by authorized service or a qualified electrician. Failure to comply with these rules may lead to an accident.

For safety reasons, you should always unplug the appliance after you have finished using it.

In order not to avoid electric shock, do not remove the plug from the wall outlet with wet hands.

When you unplug the appliance from the wall outlet, always pull the plug. Never pull the power cord.

PREPARE THE APPLIANCE FOR OPERATION

Before first use

• Before using the appliance, verify that the data given on the rating plate matches that of local power outlets.

• Remove all packing materials from inside of the appliance.

• Prepare special salt (water softener).

• Add 2 kg special salt (intended for dishwashers) to the salt dispenser and fill it with water to the brim.

• Pour into the rinse aid dispenser.

		The importance of water descaling
	i
		A dishwasher requires soft water (with
		low calcium content) to operate efficiently.
		Otherwise, white residue main remain on
		the dishes and inside the appliance. This
		has a negative impact on the quality of
		dishwashing, rinsing and drying. When
		the water flows through the softener, ions
		responsible for the water hardness are
		removed, and the water becomes soft, for
		best dishwashing results. Depending on
		the degree of water hardness, the ions
		responsible for water hardness accumulate
		quickly inside the water softener. There-
		fore, the water softener must be regener-
		ated to operate with the same efficiency
		during the next wash. This is why special
		salt is used in the dishwasher.

Add special salt

Only use special salt intended for dishwashers. To add special salt you must first remove the lower basket and then open the lid of the salt dispenser by turning it counter clockwise - (1). Fill the special salt dispenser (~ 1.5 kg of special salt) and water

(2) using the supplied funnel (2). Replace and close the lid. If the salt indicator on the control panel lights up, refill the special salt dispenser.

Use only the special salt intended for dishwashers.

Fill the salt container with water only before first use.

Do not add kitchen salt to the dishwasher. The salt dispenser can degrade over time. When you start a programme special salt dispenser is filled with water. Therefore, you should pour the special salt before starting the dishwasher.

Special salt will be washed away during the dishwashing programme. If you pour the special salt and do not intend to run a dishwashing programme, run the quick programme with an empty dishwasher in order to prevent corrosion.

iThe dishwashing effectiveness is linked to water hardness. Therefore, the appliance is equipped with a system to reduce the hardness of the water supply. The dishwashing effectiveness is improved when the system is set correctly. To check water hardness contact the municipal water company or determined the water hardness using test strip (if available).The test strip
