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

1

container.

If you are filling the container for the first time ,fill 2/3 of its volume with water.

2
3

Place the end of the funnel(supplied) into the hole and introduce about 2kg of
salt .It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container

4

Carefully screw the cap back on.

1.

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 optimize andcustomize the levelof salt consumption so thatthe salt consumption could be set proceedas
follows:

Unscrew the cap from the salt container.

1

There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see Figure to the side), if

2

necessary, rotate the ring in the anticlockwise direction from the "-" Setting
toward the "+" sign, based on the hardness of the waterbeing used.It is
recommended that adjustments should be made in accordance with the following
schema:

YOU MAY NOT ADD TOO MUCH DETERGENT TO PREVENT THE FORMATION OF DEPOSITS BECAUSE YOURDISHWASHERS
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

use less detergent and rinse aid
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 amount of detergent needed can vary due to differencesin waterhardness. 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.

To remove har d water spots, 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 twocups 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 proc ess 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 the dispenser, turn the cap to the "open" (left)
arrow and lift it out.
Pour the rinse aidinto 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 droplets on your dishes thatcan leave spots and
streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to "sheet" off
the dishes.

Your dishwashe rs are 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 dispenser holds about 100 ml of
liquid rinse aid.

Be careful notto overfillthe dispenser, because thiscould
cause oversudsing. W ipe away any spills with a damp cloth.
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 awhite filmto 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 offoaming 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, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed byremoving 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 only four settings we suggest you to set on "2".)

In accorance with En50242 standard, the dispenser should be set on the maximum leverwhen
doing the performance.

5

If there is no rinse aid warning light in the control panel, you can judge the amountof rinse aid by the following means.The
black dot on the rinse aid dispenser indicates the amount of rinse aid inthe 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 the rinse
aid level indicator changes, asillustrated below.

For your convenience, we have placed the drain pump and filtering system within easy reach inside the tub. There are three
components of the filtering system: the main filter, the coarse filter, and the fine filter.

Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass, thatcould clog the drain are trapped in the
coarse filter. To remove an item caught in this filter,gently squeeze the tabs ontop of this
filter and lift it out.

3

Fine filter
This filter holds soil and food residue in thesump 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:

1

Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove
fuses or trip circuit breaker.

Reconnect the water inlet to the

pipe

2

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

Drain water from the inlet and water valve.pipe

(Use a pan to catch the water.)

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, screwoff the nut to take out the washeron top of the spray arm and remove the arm. Wash the arms in soapy and warm
water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing them thoroughly.

Filter assembly
For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned.
The filter efficientlyremoves foodparticlesfrom thewash water, allowing it tobe
recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger
food particles trapped inthe 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 performance level of the appliance and damage dishes 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.

8

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 scratchor 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.

After every wash, turn off the water supply to the
appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so that
moisture andodors are not trapped inside.

Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always
removethe plug fromthe socket. Donot run risks.

To cleanthe exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher,
do not use solvents or abrasive cleaningproducts.
Rather, use only a cloth andwarm soapy water.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the
interior, usea cloth dampened with water anda little
white vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically
for dishwashers.

When you go onholiday, 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 theappliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical

position.If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on

its back.

One of the factors that cause odors to form in the

dishwasher isfood thatremains trapped in the seals.

Periodic cleaningwith a damp sponge will prevent this

from occurring.
