Installation Using Your Dishwasher

Positioning the Appliance

Position the appliance in the desired location. The

Ÿ

back should rest against the wall behind it, and the
sides, along the adjacent cabinets or walls. The
dishwasher is equipped with water supply and
drain hoses that can be positioned either to the
right or the left sides to facilitate proper installation.

WARNING! Where the dishwasher has ventilation
openings in the base, these openings must not be
obstructed by a carpet.

Levelling

Once the appliance is positioned for levelling, the

Ÿ

height of the dishwasher may be altered via
adjustment of the screwing level of the feet. In any
case, the appliance should not be inclined more
than 2 °.

About the Safety Supply Hose

The safety supply hose consists of double walls. The
hose's 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! In order to avoid water staying in the inlet
hose, please close the hydrant after using.

WARNING! A hose that attaches to a sink spray
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.

How to disconnect the safety supply hose

1. Turn off the water.

2. Release the water pressure by depressing the
pressure release button. This relieves water
pressure and protects you, and the room, from
severe splashing.

3. Unscrew the safety supply hose from the faucet.

Cold Water Connection

How to Connect the safety supply hose

The appliance must be connected to the water mains
using new hose-sets. The old hose-sets should not be
reused.

Water pressure must be between 0.04 MPa and
1 MPa. If the pressure is below the minimum, consult
our Service Department for advice.

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 getting blocked and
damaging the appliance.

1. Pull the safety supply hose completely out from the
storage compartment located at the rear of
dishwasher.

2. Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded
3/4(inch) connector and make sure that it is
fastened tightly in place.

3. Turn water fully on before starting the dishwasher.

Drain Hose Connection

Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a

Ÿ

minimum diameter of 40mm, or let it run into the
sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it.
The top of the hose must be at a height less than
1000mm. The free end of the hose must not be
immersed in water to avoid back flow.

Syphon Connection

Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a

Ÿ

minimum diameter of 40mm, or let it run into the
sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it.
The top of the hose must be less than 1000mm.

How to Drain Excess Water from Hoses

If the sink is more than 100cm higher than the floor,

Ÿ

the excess water in the hose cannot be drained
directly into the sink. It will be necessary to drain
excess water from the hose into a bowl or suitable
container that is held outside and lower than the
sink.

Water Outlet

Connect the water drain hose. The drain hose must

Ÿ

be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks. Ensure that
the water drain hose is not kinked or squashed.

Extension Hose

If you need a drain hose extension, make sure to

Ÿ

use a similar drain hose.
It must be no longer than 4 metres; otherwise the

Ÿ

cleaning effect of the dishwasher could be
reduced.

Using Your Dishwasher

BEFORE STARTING THE DISHWASHER

The following things should be checked before
starting the dishwasher:

1. That the dishwasher is level and fixed properly.

2. That the inlet valve is open .

3. There is no leakage at the connections of the
conducts.

4. The wires are tightly connected.

5. The power is switched on.

6. The inlet and drain hoses are not knotted or kinked.

7. All packing & print materials should be taken out of
the dishwasher.

PRIOR TO USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

Fill the Rinse Aid Dispenser

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 roll off the dishes. Your
dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids. The
rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to
the detergent dispenser. To fill the dispenser, open the
cap and pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the
level indicator turns completely black. The volume of
the rinse aid container is about 110ml.

When to refill the Rinse Aid Dispenser

If there is no rinse-aid warning light on the control
panel, you can judge the amount of rinse-aid by the
colour of the optical level indicator "C" located next
to the cap. When the rinse-aid container is full, the
whole indicator will be dark. As the rinse-aid
diminishes, the size of the dark dot decreases. You
should never let the rinse aid get below 1/4 full.

As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot
on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated
below.

Full

3/4 Full

1/2 Full

1/4 Full (Should refill to eliminate spotting)

Empty

C (Rinse-Aid indicator)

Function of the Rinse Aid

Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse,
ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free
drying.

WARNING!

Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill
the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances
(e.g. Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent).
This would damage the appliance.

Page 11Page 18

Using Your Dishwasher

How to fill the Rinse Aid Dispenser

1. To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the "open"
(left) arrow and lift it out.

2. Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful
not to overfill.

3. Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with
"open" arrow and turning it to the closed (right)
arrow.

3

Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, because this
could cause over sudsing. Wipe away any spills with a
damp cloth. Don't forget to replace the cap before
you close dishwasher door.

ATTENTION! Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling
with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming
during the next wash.

Page 12 Page 17

Using Your Dishwasher

Adjusting the Rinse Aid Dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser has six settings. Always start
with the dispenser set on "3". If spots and poor drying
are a problem, increase the amount of rinse aid
dispensed by removing the dispenser lid and rotating
the dial to "4". If the dishes are still not drying properly
or show spots, adjust the dial to the next higher level
until your dishes are spot free. The recommended
setting is "3". (Factory value is "3".)

NOTE: Increase the dose if there are drops of water or
lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce it if
there are sticky whitish stains on your dishes or a
bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

Adjust lever (R inse)

Concentrated Detergent

Based on their chemical composition, detergents can
be split in two basic types:

Conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic

Ÿ

components
Low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural

Ÿ

enzymes

The use of “normal” washing programs in combination
with concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is
good for your dishes; these wash programs are
specifically matched to the dirt-dissolving properties
of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For this
rea s on “ n o rmal” w ash p rogr a ms i n which
concentrated detergents are used can achieve the
same results that can otherwise only be achieved
using “intensive” programs.

Detergent Tablets

Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at
different speeds. For this reason some detergent
tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning
power during short programs. Therefore please use
long programs when using detergent tablets, to
ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.

Detergents

Detergents have chemical ingredients that are
necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport it
out of the dishwasher. Most of the commercial
quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.

There are 3 sorts of detergents:

1. With phosphate and with chlorine

2. With phosphate and without chlorine

3. Without phosphate and without chlorine

Normally new pulverised detergent is without
phosphate. Thus the water softener function of
phosphate is not given. In this case we recommend to
fill salt in the salt container even when the hardness of
water is only 6 °dH. If detergents without phosphate
are used in the case of hard water often white spots
appear on dishes and glasses. In this case please add
more detergent to reach better results. Detergents
without chlorine do only bleach a little. Strong and
coloured spots will not be removed completely. In this
case please choose a program with a higher
temperature.

Detergent Dispenser

The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each
wash cycle following the instructions provided in the
wash cycle table. Your dishwasher uses less
detergent and rinse aid than Conventi onal
dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of
detergent is needed for a normal wash load. More
heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add
the detergent just before starting the dishwasher,
otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve
properly.

Adding detergent to Dishwasher

If the lid is closed: press release button. The lid will

Ÿ

spring open.
Always add the detergent just before starting each

Ÿ

wash cycle.
Only use branded detergent aid for dishwasher.

Information regarding the amount of detergent for

Ÿ

each program is shown on Page 19.

Loading the Upper Basket

The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate
and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea
cup and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and
shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty).

Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not
get moved by the spray of water.

TURNING ON THE APPLIANCE

Starting a wash cycle:

1. Draw out the lower and upper basket, load the
dishes and push them back. It is recommended to
load the lower basket first, then the upper one (see
the section entitled “Loading the Dishwasher”).

2. Pour in the detergent (see Page 14).

3. Insert the plug into the socket. The power supply is
220-240 VAC / 50 HZ, the specification of the
socket is 10A 250VAC. Make sure that the water
supply is turned on to full pressure.

4. Close the door, press the ON/OFF button to switch
on the machine.

5. Press the program button to select your desired
program, when the program is selected, the
corresponding icon will light up, then press the
Start/Pause button, the program will begin.

FORGET TO ADD A DISH?

A forgotten dish can be added at any time before the
detergent cup opens.

1. Press the Start/Pause button.

2. Open the door a little to stop the washing.

3. After the spray arms stop working, you can open
the door completely.

4. Load the forgotten dishes.

5. Close the door.

6. Press the Start/Pause button, the dishwasher will

start running again after 10 seconds.

WARNING! It is dangerous to open the door
when washing, because the hot water may
scald you.

NOTE: When you press the Start/Pause button to
pause during washing, the running indicator will stop
blinking and the dishwasher will sound every minute
unless you press the Start/Pause button to start.

CHANGE THE PROGRAM

Premise:

1. A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it
has only been running for a short time. Otherwise,
the detergent may have already been released, and
the appliance may have already drained the wash
water.

If this is the case, the detergent dispenser must be
refilled (see the section entitled "Adding
Detergent").

2. Press the Start/Pause button, the machine will be in
standby mode, then press the program button
more than 3 seconds then you can change the
program to the desired cycle setting (see the
section entitled " Starting a wash cycle. . .").

NOTE:

If you open the door during a wash cycle ,
the machine will pause. The LED display will
stop blinking and the buzzer will sound every
min ute unt il you c los e t he door. After
you close the door, the machine will keep on
working after 10 seconds.

AT THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE

When the working cycle has finished, the buzzer of
the dishwasher will sound for 8 seconds, then stop.
Turn off the appliance using the Power switch button,
shut off the water supply and open the door of the
dishwasher. Wait for a few minutes before unloading
the dishwasher to avoid handling the dishes and
utensils while they are still hot and more susceptible
to breakage. They will also dry better.

Switch off the Dishwasher

The program light is on but is not blinking, only in this
case the program has ended.

1. Switch off the dishwasher by pressing Power
button.

2. Turn off the water tap!

Open the door carefully

Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should
be allowed to cool down around 15 minutes before
removing from the appliance.

Open the dishwasher's door, leave it ajar and wait a
few minutes before removing the dishes. Dishes will
be cooler and the drying will be improved.

Unloading the Dishwasher

It is normal that the dishwasher is wet inside.

Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one.
This will avoid water dripping from the upper Basket
onto the dishes in the lower one.

Page 21Page 8

Filtering System

The filter prevents larger remnants of food or other
objects from getting inside the pump.

The residue may block the filter, in this case they must
be removed.

The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (Main
filter) and a microfilter (Fine filter).

MAIN FILTER: Food and soil particles trapped

1

in this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the
lower spray arm and washed down the drain.

COARSE FILTER: Larger items, such as

2

pieces of bones or glass, that could clog the
drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To
remove an item caught in this filter, gently
squeeze the taps on the top of this filter and
lift it out.

FINE FILTER: This filter holds soil and food

3

residues in the sump area and prevents it from
being redeposit on the dishes during a cycle.

2

STEP 1: Turn the filter in anti-clockwise direction.

1

Open

STEP 2: Lift the filter assembly up.

3

Filter Assembly

The filter efficiently removes food particles from the
wash water, allowing it to be recycled during the cycle.

For best performance and results, the filter must be
cleaned regularly. 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 device, pull the cup handle in the
upward direction.

WARNING!

The dishwasher must never be used without the

Ÿ

filters.

Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the

Ÿ

performance level of the appliance and damage
dishes and utensils.

NOTES:

When following this procedure from step 1 to step

Ÿ

2, the filter system will be removed; when following
it from Step 2 to Step 1, the filter system will be
installed.

Inspect the filters for blocking after every time the

Ÿ

dishwasher has been used.

By unscrewing the coarse filter, you can remove the

Ÿ

filter system. Remove any food remnants and clean
the filters under running water.

The entire filter assembly should be cleaned once a

Ÿ

week.

Cleaning the Filter

To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a
cleaning brush. Reassemble the filter parts as shown
in the figures above and reinsert the entire assembly in
the dishwasher, positioning it in its seat and pressing
downwards.

WARNING!

When cleaning the filters, do not knock on them.

Ÿ

Otherwise, the filters could be contorted and the
performance of the dishwasher could be
decreased.

Care and Cleaning

Caring for the Dishwasher

The control panel can be cleaned by using a lightly
dampened cloth. After cleaning, make sure to dry it
thoroughly.

For the exterior, use a good appliance polish wax.

Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh
cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

Cleaning the Door

To clean the edge around the door, you should use
only a soft warm, damp cloth.

To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and
electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of
any kind.

WARNING!

Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel

Ÿ

as it may damage the door lock and electrical
components.

Abrasive agents or some paper towels should not

Ÿ

be used because of the risk of scratching or leaving
spots on the stainless steel surface.

Protect against Freezing

Please take frost protection measures on the
dishwasher in winter. After washing cycles, please
operate as follows:

1. Turn off the electrical power to the dishwasher.

2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water
inlet pipe from the water valve.

3. Drain the water from the inlet pipe and water valve.
(Use a pan to catch the water)

4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.

5. Remove the filter at the bottom of the tub and use a
sponge to soak up water in the sump.

NOTE: If your dishwasher cannot work because of
the ice, please contact an authorised service person.

Cleaning the Spray Arms

It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly for
hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and
bearings.

To remove the upper spray arm, hold the nut and
rotate the arm clockwise to remove it.

To remove the lower spray arm, pull out the spray arm
upward.

Wash the arms in soapy and warm water and use a
soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing
them thoroughly.

Open

How to keep your Dishwasher in shape

After every wash, turn off the water supply to the

Ÿ

appliance and leave the door slightly open so that
moisture and odours are not trapped inside.

Before cleaning or performing maintenance,

Ÿ

always remove the electrical plug from the socket.

To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the

Ÿ

dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive
cleaning products. Only use a cloth with warm
soapy water.

To remove spots or stains from the surface of the

Ÿ

interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a
little vinegar, or a cleaning product made
specifically for dishwashers.

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 odours 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.
