This button (see " Control panel " ) is used with the normal cycle in the case where pots and pans with dry caked-on food must be
washed.
This is not recommended for delicate items in so far as the high temperature could make their surfaces opaque or lighten
decorative colorsafter repeated washing.
This button (see " Control panel " )when pressed with wash cycle 4(glassware)makesit possible to run the wash cycle at a lower
temperature(50 C) and eliminates the drying phase.
Your dishwasher has an overfill protection device whichcould automatically shut off the inletvalveandstarts the drain pump
if the water level in the unit is detected to be above the normal level. If thi s occurs, turn off the main water supply before calling for
servicing. If there is water in the base pan because of an overfill or small leak, the water should be removed before restarting the
dishwasher.

If your model have not water softener, you may skip this section.
There are two ways to reduce the hardness: one way is using water softener, the other is using
water
detergent.
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes
and utensils.
The appliances is equipped with a specialsoftener that uses a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the
water.
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:
Remove the lower basket and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt

The salt container must be refilled when the salt warninglight comes on. Though the salt container is filled
enough, the indicator light may not black out before the salt fully dissolve.
If there are spills of the salt, a soak program could be run to wipe them out.
2.
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used.
This is intended to optimizeand customize the levelof salt consumption so that the salt consumption could be set proceed as
follows:
Unscrew the cap from the salt container.

YOU MAY NOT ADD TOO MUCH DETERGENT TO PREVENT THE FORMATION OF DEPOSITS BECAUSEYOURDISHWASHERS
HAVE SPECIALLY-DESIGNED WATER SOFTENERS.
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the" Wash Cycle
Table".Your dishwashers than conventional dishwashers. Generally, only one tablespoon of
detergent is needed for a normal wash load. Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just
before starting dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.
IF THE WATER ISN'T TOO HARD, YOU MAY ALSO PREVENT THE FORMATION OF DEPOSITS BY ADDING DETERGENT.
The amountof detergent needed can vary due to differences in water hardness. To determine the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water utility or area water softening company. The harder the water, the more detergent you may need.
Remember, you should adjust the amount of detergent you use by small amounts until you find the correct amount.
use less detergent and rinse aid
To remove har d water s pots, try the following:
Run dishes through a normal wash program.
Remove all metal dishware,such as cutlery,pans, etc.,
from the dishwasher.
Do not add detergent.
Pour two cups of vinegar into a bowl and set the bowl face
up on the lower rack of the dishwasher.
Runthe dishes through a normal wash program.
If this doesn't work, try the same process with 1 / 4 cup of
citric acid crystals instead of vinegar.
Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out
of reach of children.
To open t he dispenser, turn the cap to the "open" (left)
arrow and lift it out.
Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to
overfill.
Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with "open" arrow
and turning it to the closed (right) arrow.
Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers.
Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don't put powder detergent
into the dispenser until You're ready to wash dishes.
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water
from forming dropletson your dishesthat can leave spots and
streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to "sheet" off
the dishes.
Your dishwashers are designed to use liquid rinse aids. The
rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to the
detergentdispenser. To fill the dispenser, open the cap and
pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator
turns completely black. The dispenser holds about 100 ml of
liquid rinse aid.
Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, because this could
cause oversudsing. W ipe away any spills with a damp c loth.
Don't forget to replace the cap before you close the dishwasher
door.
If you have soft water, you may not need rinse aid for it may
cause a white film to develop on your dishes.
A measured amount of rinse aid is released during the final rinse. As with detergent, the amount
of rinse aid needed for your dishes depends on the hardness of the water in your area. Too much
rinse aid can result in lather of foaming and cause cloudiness or steaks on your dishes. If the
water in your area is very soft, you may not need rinse aid. If you do,you can dilute the rinse aid
with an equal amount of water.
The rinse aid dispenser has six settings. Always start with the dispenser set on " 1 ". If spots and
poor drying are problems, increasethe amount of rinse aid dispensed by removing the dispenser
lid and rotating the dial to "2". If the dishes still are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the
dial to the next higher number until your dishes are spot-free. We suggest you to set on "4" .

If there is no rinse aid warning light in the control panel, you can judge the amount of rinseaid by thefollowing means.The
black dot on the rinse aid dispenser indicates the amount of rinse aid in the dispenser.As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of
the black dot decreases. You should never let the rinse aidget below 1 / 4 full.
Astherinseaiddiminishes,the size of the blackdot on therinse
aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below.

Fine filter
This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being
redeposited on the dishes during a cycle.
If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to:

It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly for hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings. To remove the
spray arm, screw off the nut to take out the washer on top of the spray arm and remove the arm. Wash the arms in soapy and warm
water and use a soft brush to cleanthe jets. Replace them after rinsing them thor oughly.
3
(Use a pan to catch the water.)
Filter assembly
For best performance and results, the filterassembly must be cleaned.
The filter efficiently removes food particlesfrom the wash water, allowingit to be
recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger
food particles trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the semicircular
filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull on the cup
handle in the upward direction. The entire filter assembly should be cleanedat least
once a month.
To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble
the filter parts as shown in the figures left and reinsert the entire assembly in the
dishwasher, positioning in its seat and pressing downward.
The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the
filter may reduce the performancelevel of the appliance and damagedishes and utensils.
Remove the plastic sump cover in the
5
tub the bottom and use a sponge to
soak up water in rubber boot.
Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place.

To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm, damp rag. Toprevent
penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner
of any kind.
Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they will
scratch the finish. Some papers towels can also scratch or leave marks on thesurface.
Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel for it could damage the door lock and electrical components. It is not allowed
to use the abrasive agent or some paper towel becauseof the risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stainless steel surface.
Something will occasionally move into the filters and thedrain pump.If this occurs, the drain
pumpsemployed in your dishwashersare designedto automatically reverse, ejecting the
item back into the sump areaor down the drain.If you have to remove an obstacle from the
drain pump, before you remove the filters, you should turn off the power; Then remove the
small black insert from the sumparea. (You might want to remove any standingwaterfirst).
Scoop out the item that is probably in the sump area and causes the obstruction. Remember
to replace the black insert before you put the filters back in.
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the
appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so that
moisture and odors are not trapped inside.
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always
removethe plug fromthe socket. Do not runrisks.
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher,
do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products.
Rather, use only a cloth and warm soapy water.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the
interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little
white vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically
for dishwashers.
When you go on holiday, it is recommened 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 ajar. This will help
the seals last longer and prevent odors from forming
within 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 bac k.
One of the factors that cause odors to form in the
dishwasher is food thatremains trapped in the seals.
Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this
from occurring.

Fused electrical supply is required-copper wire only. Time delay fuse or circuit breaker recommended and provide separate
circuit serving only this appliance. Outlet should be placed in adjacent cabinet.
Make sure that the plug on the appliance remains accessible after installation.
After making sure that the voltage and the frequency values for the current in the home
correspond to those on the rating plate and that the electrical system is sized for the
maximum voltage on therating plate, insert the plug into an electrical socket whic h is
earthedproperly. If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not
appropriate for the , replace the socket ,rather than
using a adaptors or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.
The appliance must be connected to the water mains usingnew hose-sets.
The old hose-sets should not be reused.
