Under certain conditions, Hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has not been used for two
weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.If the hot-water system has not been used for such a period,
before using the dishwasher turn on all hot-water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes.
This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame
during this time.

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
A. Setthe water softener
B. Pour 1／2 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with dishwasher salt
C. Fill the rinseaid dispenser
D. Function ofdetergent
The water softener must be set manually, using the water hardness dial.
The water softener is designed to removeminerals and salts from the water, whichwouldhave
a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance. The higher the
content of these minerals andsalts, the harder your water is. The softener should be
adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority
can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.
Adjusting Salt Consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of salt consumed based on
the hardness of the water used. This is inte nded to optimize and customize the level of
salt consumption sothat the salt consumption could be set proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the cap from thesalt container
2. There is aring onthe container with anarrow on it (see
figureto the side), if necessary, rotatethe ring in the
anticlockwise direction from the “-”Setting toward the
“ ”sign, based on the hardness of the water being used.
Itis recommended thatadjustments should be madein
accordance with the following schema:

Always use salt intended for use with dishwasher.
The salt containeris located beneath the lower rackand should be filled as follows:
Attention!
Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers! All other typesof
salt notspecifically designed foruse in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will
damage the water softener. In case of damages caused by the use of unsuitable
salt the manufacturer does not give anywarranty nor is liable for anycaused
damages.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been split,
remaining of the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause
corrosion.
After the first wash cycle the control panel light expires.
A Remove the lower basket and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container.
B If you are filling the container for the first time, fill 2/3 of its volume with water(around 500ml).
C Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce about 1,2kg of salt. It is
Normalfora small amount of water to come out of the salt container.
D Carefully screw the cap back on.
E Usually, the salt warning light will be off in 2-6 after the salt container be filled with salt.days
NOTE:
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot

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.

To open the dispenser,turn the capto 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.
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes
that 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 aiddispenser 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 volumeoftherinseaidcontainer
is about140ml.

with a damp cloth. Don't forget to replace the cap before you close dishwasher door.
Attention!
Clean up any rinse aid split during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming
during the next wash.
The rinse aid dispenser has 6 settings. Always startwith the dispenser set on
“2”.Ifspots and poor drying are problems,increase the amount of rinse aiddispensed
by removing the dispenser lid and rotating the dial to “3”. 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 “2”(Factory value is “2”)

Based on their chemical composition, dishwasherdetergent can be:
conventional, alkaline detergents wi th caustic components
low alkaline concentrated d etergents with natural enzymes
The use of “normal”washing programmes in conjunction with concentrated detergents
reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; these wash programmes are specially matched
to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For this reason
“normal”wash programmes in whichconcentrated detergentsareused canachieve the
same results that can otherwiseonly be achieved using “intensive” programmes.
Detergent tabletsof different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some
detergent tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short
programmes. Therefore pleaseuse long programmes when using detergent tablets, to
unsure the complete remova l of detergent residuals.
The dispenser must be refilledbefore the start of each wash cycle following the instructions
provided in the Wash Cycle Table. 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.
Amount of Detergent to Use
Alwaysadd the detergent just before starting each wash cycle.
Only use branded detergent aid for dishwasher.
If the lid is closed: press release button. The lid springs open.
Dishwasherdetergent is corrosive!Take care to keep it out of reach of children.
Proper Use of Detergent
Use only detergent spec ifically 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.

Turbo drying is a very effective drying system.
The moist, warm air is expelled quickly by a fan
to provide optimum drying results.
