in the attached documentation. Not adhering to this notice may lead to the damage of dishes or kitchen
utensils, or also the appliance. The warranty does not cover this kind of damage.
Do not wash plastic items in the dishwasher unless they are marked by the manufacturer as dishwasher-
safe. For plastic items without such markings, follow the recommendations of the manufacturer.
When using the dishwasher you should prevent the plastic items from coming into contact with the
heating element. (These instructions are intended only for dishwashers with freely accessible heating
elements.)
Use only agents (detergents and rinsing aids, salt and polishing agents) designed to be used with
automatic dishwashers.
Never use soap, washing or cleaning detergents designed for hand washing. Keep all these substances out
of the reach of children.
Store all cleaning agents in a safe place. Keep children away from all washing and rinsing agents and at
a su cient distance from the open dishwasher door, because there could be remains of detergents inside.
Do not use any solvents in the dishwasher. The could cause an explosion.
Dishwasher detergents are very alkaline and their ingestion may be life threatening! Avoid contact with
the skin or eyes, because there is a danger of chemical burns of eyes or skin. Keep children at a su cient
distance from the dishwasher when the door is open. Follow the safety instructions of the dishwasher
detergent manufacturer.
The water inside the dishwasher is not intended for drinking. It may contain remains of detergents.
Place sharp items in such a way that they do not damage the door seal.
WARNING!
Knives and other utensils with sharp tines and blades must be placed inside the basket with tips
facing downwards or in a horizontal position.
Ensure that the dishwasher door is always closed, except for the time when dishes are being inserted or
removed. This will prevent the danger of tripping over the door and subsequent injury. If the door is open,
do not allow children to come close to the dishwasher.
WARNING!
Do not sit on the door or on the wire racks, do not stand on them or handle them with brute force.

Check that the voltage and frequency of the used power source correspond to the information on the
appliance's rating label. Insert the power plug only into a properly grounded power socket. If the socket to
which the appliance will be connected is not properly grounded, replace the socket rather than using adapters,
etc., which could lead to overheating or burning.
WARNING!
The incorrect connection of the grounding conductor may create a risk of injury by electrical shock.
If you have any doubts about the proper grounding of the appliance, ask a quali ed electrician
or service technician for veri cation.
Do not modify the power plug supplied with the appliance. If the power plug does not correctly
t into your power socket, ask a quali ed electrician to replace it.
Water supply
How to connect the water supply hose?
You must connect the dishwasher to a water supply using a new hose. Do not use perished, old or otherwise
damaged hoses.
Water pressure must be in the range 0.03 MPa to 1 MPa. If the water pressure in your system is lower, ask for
advice from our service department.
Pull out the hose fully from the storage area in the rear part of the dishwasher.
Screw in the water supply hose to a tap with a 3/4" thread.
Fully open the water supply before turning on the dishwasher.
Water supply hose
The water supply hose has double wall. The water lling system guarantees intervention by blocking the water
supply in the event that the water supply hose fails.
WARNING!
The hose connected to the water supply to the sink may break, if the sink is connected to the same
water system as the dishwasher. We recommend that you disconnect the hose and seal the opening.
Shut o the water inlet.
Reduce water pressure by pressing the reduce pressure button. This will reduce the water pressure and
prevent water from possibly squirting out into the room.
Unscrew the water supply hose from the water tap.
WARNING!
To prevent water from staying in the hose, close the water inlet into the dishwasher.
(This does not apply to dishwashers with the aqua-stop function.)
Connecting the drain hose
Insert the drain hose into the waste water pipe with a minimum diameter of 4 cm or leave it
lying in the sink and ensure that it is not bent or dented. Use a special plastic bracket supplied
with the appliance. The hose must be at a height of 50 to 110 cm above the ground. The loose end of the hose
must not be submerged in water so that reverse water ow does not occur.
NOTE:
The hose must be at a height of 50 to 110 cm above the ground. The loose end must not be submerged
in water.
Connect the drain hose. The drain hose must be properly attached so that water does not leak. Check that
the hose is not knotted up or pinched.
Extending the hose
If you need to extend the drain hose, you must use the same type of drain hose.
The hose must not be longer than 4 meters. Otherwise the e ciency of the dishwasher would be reduced.
Connecting the drain hose
You must connect the drain hose at a height from 50 cm (minimum) to 110 cm (maximum) from the bottom
part of the appliance. Secure the drain hose using a clamp. The loose end must not be submerged in water.
Built-in
This dishwasher is designed to be built-in. Adhere to all warnings and instructions contained in this user‘s
manual during installation.
Before installation check that the required dimensions of the dishwasher to be built-in correspond to the
dimensions of the installation location – see illustration below.
WARNING!
After removing the cover, all rigid parts must remain stable to ensure balance.
WARNING!
Only remove the top cover if it is absolutely necessary for the installation into the built-in area.
The dimensions of some built-in areas may be higher and so the dishwasher will t in with the top
cover attached.
Turning on the dishwasher
Before turning on the dishwasher, check the recommendation below.
The dishwasher is levelled and properly seated.
Is the inlet valve opened?
Joints do not leak in the connection points.
Cables are properly connected.
Is the power source turned on?
The water supply hose and the drain hose are not knotted up.
You have removed all packaging material and all printed materials.
1. ON/OFF button: Turning on/o power to the appliance. After turning on, the End of Program indicator
light will come on.
2. Display: shows the number of the selected program.
3. Program button: select the desired program.
4. Half dish load button: by using the half dish load function you can reduce the washing cycle time and
reduce water and electricity consumption.
5. Delayed start button: thanks to the delayed start function you will be able to delay a program by 3, 6
or 9 hours. Each time the button is pressed the delay time changes as follows: 3 – 6 – 9. After setting the
delayed start time, close the dishwasher door and the function will be activated. If you wish to change or
cancel the delayed start function, open the door and using the delayed start button change or cancel the
function.
You can monitor the delayed start time on the indicator lights of the panel. E.g. if you set a 9-hour delayed
start, the 9-hour indicator light will rst come on, after 3 hours have passed the 6-hour indicator light will
come on, etc.
6. Salt warning indicator light: It will light up if salt needs to be re lled.

The warning indicator lights will turn o during the washing cycle or when using 3-in-1 tablets even if the
amount is insu cient.
End of program indicator light: the indicator light will be lit as soon as the program has nished. A sound
will be made 5 times.
Before rst use
Before you put your dishwasher into operation:
a) set water softening;
b) pour 3/4 litre of water into the salt compartment and ll it up with salt;
c) ll the rinsing aid compartment;
d) ll the dishwashing detergent compartment.
Water softener
The water softener is made so that it releases minerals and salts contained in water, which would have
a negative e ect on the operation of the dishwasher. The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the
harder the water is. You should set the water softener according to the water hardness in your area. Information
about water hardness in your area should be provided by your water supply company.
If you use hard water in your dishwasher, scale deposits will be left on your dishes, which may negatively a ect
the washing e ciency and lifetime of your dishwasher.
The appliance should be equipped with a special softener, which uses the salt compartment for salt speci cally
designed for eliminating scale and minerals from water.
Identifying water hardness
The dish washing e ciency of your dishwasher depends on the hardness of the water used. Therefore, your
dishwasher is equipped with a system which reduces water hardness at the main water inlet. The better the
system is set up the better the achieved washing e ciency. Your water supplier should provide you with
information about water hardness in your area or you may measure it yourself using a simple harness test,
a special testing strip (not included).
Take the

NOTE:
Your water supplier will provide you with information about the hardness of your water.
CAUTION!
If your dishwasher does not have a water softening system, you can skip this chapter.
Adding salt into the salt container
Always use salt designed for dishwashers.
The salt compartment is located under the lower rack and you should re ll it in the following manner.
NOTE
Use only salt speci cally designed for use in dishwashers! Any other kind of salt, which is not
speci cally designed for use in dishwashers, particularly table salt, would damage the softener
system in the dishwasher. Damage caused by the use of inappropriate salt is not covered by the
manufacturer's guarantee and the manufacturer takes no responsibility for any damages caused.
Add the salt before starting one of the full washing cycle programs. This will prevent salt
crystals or salt water from lying at the bottom of the dishwasher, where this could lead to
corrosion.
a) Slide out the lower rack and then unscrew the lid of the salt compartment – see pic. 1/2.
b) Before the rst wash, pour 3/4 litre of water into the salt compartment.
c) Place the funnel (included accessory) on the opening of the compartment and pour 1 kg of salt into it.
• It is normal for a smaller amount of water to run out of the compartment.
d) After lling the compartment screw the lid back on by turning it in the clockwise direction.
e) You should start a washing program immediately after the salt compartment has been re lled (we
recommended the rinse or quick wash program). Otherwise the salt water could damage the ltration
system, pump and other important part of the dishwasher. This is not covered by the warranty.
NOTE
Only re ll the salt compartment when the salt warning indicator light on the control panel
lights up. Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the warning indicator light may stay on
even after the salt compartment has been re lled.
If there is no salt warning indicator light on the control panel (on some models), you can
estimate the amount after adding salt to the system by the number of cycles performed by the
dishwasher.
If salt runs out anywhere, remove it by starting the rinse program or the quick wash program.
The rinsing aid is released during the last rinse so that water drops do not remain on your dishes causing
stains. It also improves drying due to the fact that all the water ows o the dishes. Your dishwasher is
designed to only be used with a liquid rinsing aid. The rinsing aid compartment is located on the inside
wall of the door next to the dishwashing detergent compartment.
Fill up the compartment by opening it and pouring in the rinsing aid until the indicator goes completely
dark. The capacity of the rinsing aid compartment is approximately 110 ml.
NOTE:
Use only branded dishwasher rinsing aids. Never pour other mixtures (such as liquid detergents, etc.)
into the rinsing aid compartment. Otherwise the dishwasher may be damaged.
When should the rinsing aid be re lled?
If the rinsing aid compartment is empty, the relevant indicator light on the control panel will turn on indicating
the need to add rinsing aid. After lling the compartment with rinsing aid the entire indicator is dark. As the
rinsing aid is gradually used up the point of the indicator becomes smaller. Never allow the amount of rinsing
aid to fall below 1/4 of the compartment volume.
CAUTION
Wipe any spilled rinsing aid with a wiping cloth, so that excessive suds are not formed in the
following wash. Do not forget to put the lid back on before closing the dishwasher door.
Setting dial (rinse)
The rinsing aid compartment has six di erent settings. Its factory level setting is 3. If stains form on the dishes
or if there is a problem with drying the dishes, increase the released amount of the rinsing aid by removing
the lid and turning the dial to "4". If despite this step the dishes are not without stains after drying, adjust the
setting again to a higher level until the dishes are clean after drying. If rinsing aid residues remain on the
dishes, reduce the level to 1 – 2. The recommended setting is "3". (The value set by the manufacturer is "3".)
NOTE:
If there are water drops or scale stains on the dishes after the wash, increase the dosage. If there are
white stains or blueish layers on glasses or knife blades, lower the dosage.
Dishwashing detergents with their chemical additives are essential for the removal of soils, their decomposition
and removal from the dishwasher. For this purpose the majority of commercial quality dishwashing detergents
are suitable.
Dishwashing detergents
There are 3 types of dishwashing detergents:
1. containing phosphates and chlorine;
2. containing phosphates and without chlorine;
3. without phosphates and without chlorine.
New dishwashing detergents usually do not contain phosphates and so the softening function of the
phosphates is missing. In such a case we recommended the use of a softening salt even when the water
hardness is a mere 6°dH. If you use dishwashing detergents without phosphates and have hard water, this
leads to the frequent appearance of white stains on dishes and glasses. In such a case you will therefore
achieve better results if you add more dishwashing detergent. Chlorine-free dishwashing detergents whiten
only slightly. For this reason strong and colourful stains will not be completely removed. In such a case select
a program with a higher temperature.
Concentrated dishwashing detergents
Based on their chemical composition dishwashing detergents are divided into two basic types:
standard, alkaline dishwashing detergents with caustic additives;
less alkaline dishwashing detergents with natural enzymes.
Using "standard" washing programs in combination with concentrated dishwashing detergents reduces
pollution and is appropriate for your dishes. These programs are speci cally improved with enzymes, which are
contained in concentrated dishwashing detergents, that can dissolve soils. For this reason you can achieve
the same results with concentrated dishwashing detergents using a "standard" washing program, as you
would achieve only with the use of an "intensive" program.
Dishwashing tablets
The dissolving speed of various brands of dishwashing tablets may di er. For this reason some tablets may not
dissolve during the short programs and therefore fail to perform their cleaning function. So when using tablets
use the long programs to ensure the removal of all dishwashing detergent remains.
Dishwashing detergent compartment
You must ll up the compartment before starting any washing cycle according to the instructions contained in
the dishwashing cycle table. Your dishwasher uses less dishwashing detergent and rinsing aid than an ordinary
dishwasher. Generally a single tablespoon of dishwashing detergent is su cient for a standard wash. For
more heavily soiled dishes you will need more dishwashing detergent. Always add the dishwashing detergent
immediately before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could become damp and subsequently not dissolve
completely.
NOTE
If the lid is closed, press the button. The lid will open.
Always add the dishwashing detergent immediately before starting each washing cycle.
Use only branded dishwashing detergents designed for dishwashers.
WARNING!
The dishwashing detergent is corrosive! Keep it out of children's reach.
Using the dishwashing detergent
Use only dishwashing detergent speci cally designed for use in dishwashers. Store the dishwashing detergent
in a dark and dry place.
Do not put dishwashing detergent powder into the compartment unless you intend to start the dishwasher.
Dosage of the dishwashing detergent
1. Release the clip to open the dishwashing detergent compartment.
2. Place the required amount of dishwashing detergent into the main wash detergent compartment (if you
are using a dishwashing powder). Make sure that the amount of the dishwashing detergent is between the
MIN and MAX level lines.
3. If the dishes are overly soiled, also add dishwashing detergent into the pre-wash partition.
4. Close the dishwashing detergent compartment.
5. Now turn on the dishwasher.
NOTE:
The mark „MIN” in the main wash detergent compartment corresponds to approximately 20g of
dishwashing detergent. The pre-wash detergent compartment will take approximately 5g of dishwashing
detergent.
Follow the recommended dosages and storage indicated by the manufacturer on the packaging of the
dishwashing detergent.
Close the lid and press it down until it clicks in.
If the dishes are heavily soiled, also add dishwashing detergent into the pre-wash compartment. This dose will
be used during the pre-wash phase of the wash.
NOTE:
You can nd the information about dishwashing detergent dosages in the washing program table.
Keep in mind that the results may di er depending on the degree of soiling and hardness of the water
used.
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations on the dishwashing detergent package.
Purchase dishes designated as dishwasher safe.
Use a gentle dishwashing detergent marked as "gentle on dishes". If necessary seek out further information
from the dishwashing detergent manufacturer.
For certain types of dishes select a lower temperature.
To prevent possible damage, remove glassware and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as possible after
the end of the wash.
Unsuitable are:
cutlery with wooden, bone or mother-of-pearl handles;
plastic parts that are not heat resistant;
older cutlery with glued parts that are not heat resistant;
glued cutlery or dishes;
tin or copper dishes;
crystal glassware;
metal parts susceptible to corrosion;
wooden cutting boards;
dishes made from synthetic bres.
Partially suitable are:
some types of glass may corrode after several washes;
silver and aluminium cookware may become discoloured by the wash;
glazed patterns may fade if washed frequently.
NOTE:
Your dishwasher will achieve the best performance if you follow these instructions for inserting dishes
into the racks. The function and appearance of the racks and the cutlery basket may di er depending on
the model of the dishwasher.
NOTE:
Do not place any items into the dishwasher soiled by cigarette ash, wax, varnish or paint.
When buying new dishes, check that they are dishwasher safe.
First remove remaining or burned on foods. It is not necessary to wash dishes under running water.
Insert the dishes into the dishwasher as follows.
Items such as cups, glasses, pots / pans, etc., should be placed bottom up.
Curved cookware and cookware with projections should be placed at an angle to allow water to freely
ow out.
Place dishes safely so that they cannot tip over.
Place dishes in such a way that the spraying arms can rotate freely during the wash.
NOTE:
Do not wash very small pieces in the dishwasher because they can easily fall out of the rack.
Hollow cookware, e.g. cups, glasses, pans, etc. should be placed bottom up so that water does not
accumulate inside them during the wash.
Dishes and cutlery must not be inserted into each other or to cover each other.
To prevent damaging glasses, they must not touch each other.
Place hard-to-clean large cookware in the lower rack.
The upper rack is intended for lighter and fragile dishes, such as glasses, cups and mugs.
Knives with a large blade placed in a vertical position are dangerous!
Long and/or sharp cutlery, e.g. kitchen knives must be placed horizontally in the upper rack.
Do not over ll your dishwasher. For better washing results and lower power consumption.
Taking dishes out of the dishwasher
To prevent water dripping down from the upper rack on to the dishes in the lower rack, we recommended you
rst empty the lower rack and only then the upper rack.
Filling the upper rack
The upper rack is designed for lighter dishes:
glasses, cups and mugs and saucers, also small plates, small bowls and shallow pots (if they are not too
soiled).
Place the dishes in such a way that they will not be moved by the sprayed water current.
Loading the lower rack
We recommend you place larger cookware and hard-to-clean cookware into the lower rack:
pots, pans, lids, serving plates and bowls.
It is better to place serving plates and lids on the sides of the rack, so that the spraying arm does not become
blocked.
pots, serving bowls, etc. must be place bottom up;
deep pots should be placed at an angle so that water can freely run out of them;
the tines on the lower rack can be folded, so that you can insert larger pots and pans or more smaller items.
Special cookware, e.g. large pans or plates should be placed in the lower rack. The recommended
placement is shown below.
Incorrect arrangements of dishes
Setting the upper rack
Upper rack partitions
The upper rack partitions (a, b) can be tilted upwards as necessary for example for placing tall glasses.
The lower rack contains 4 tine sections, which can be tilted down, and they make placing dishes into the lower
rack easier, e.g. pots, pans, plates, etc. Tilt the tines up or down as necessary.
Basket for cutlery
Place cutlery into the basket with the handle downwards. If the basket has side partitions, place spoons
separately into the appropriate openings. Particularly long cutlery should be place in a horizontal position in
the front part of the upper rack as shown in the picture.
1. Table spoons
2. Forks
3. Knives
4. Dessert spoons
5. Tea spoons
6. Ladles
7. Serving spoons
8. Serving forks
WARNING!
Ensure that no cutlery projects through the bottom of the basket.
Always place sharp cutlery with the tip pointing downwards!
For your personal safety and to achieve the maximum quality way place cutlery into the basket,
ensuring that:
individual items are not lying on each other;
the cutlery is placed with the handle pointing downwards;
place knives and other dangerous cookware with the handle pointing upwards.
WARNING!
Short programs do not include the drying function. The above mentioned values were obtained on
the basis of laboratory tests according to relevant standards. These values may change depending

The lter prevents food remains or other foreign items from entering the pump.
Food remains may clog the lter and in such a case it is necessary to take it out.
The ltration system consists of a coarse lter, a plastic lter and a micro- lter ( ne lter).
1 Plastic lter
Food remains and soils caught by this lter are pulverised by a special jet on the bottom spraying arm and
ushed down the drain.
2 Coarse lter
Larger parts, e.g. bits of bone or glass, which could clog the drain are stopped by the coarse lter. Remove the
soils caught by this lter by taking the lter out - gently press the plug on the top of this lter and lift it up.
3 Fine lter
This lter stops the remains of soils and food in the area of the water tank and prevent the remains from
returning back to the area of the dishwasher during the wash.
Installing the lter
The lter e ectively removes food remains from the water used to wash the dishes and so this water can
be used repeatedly during the wash. You will achieve better wash results if you regularly clean out the lter.
For this reason it is better to remove the food remains from the lter after every wash by ushing out the
semi-circular lter and containers under running water. Take out the lter by pulling upwards on the container
handle.
WARNING!
Never use the dishwasher without a lter.
An incorrectly seated lter may lower the e ciency of the dishwasher and cause damage to
1. To remove and clean the ltration system turn the lter anticlockwise and then lift it up.
2. Pull out the metal/plastic lter.
3. Take the course lter out of the ne lter.
NOTE:
Follow all the steps of this procedure remove the ltration system; then reinstall it by proceeding from
step 3 to step 1.
Recommendation:
After every use of the dishwasher check that the lters are not clogged.
You can take out the ltration system by unscrewing the coarse lter. Remove any food remains
and clean out the lters under running water.
NOTE:
You should clean the entire ltration set once per week.
Cleaning the lters
To clean the coarse and ne lters use a brush. Reassemble the individual parts of the lter as shown on
pictures 1, 2 and 3. Reinsert them back into the dishwasher in their place and press them downwards.
WARNING!
Do not knock on the lters when cleaning them. Otherwise the lters could bend, which would
lower the e ciency of the dishwasher. Never use the dishwasher without a lter. An incorrectly
seated lter may lower the e ciency of the dishwasher and cause damage to dishes.
Dishwasher care
You can clean the control panel using a light damp wiping cloth. Thoroughly dry the area after cleaning.
Clean the exterior parts of the dishwasher using a quality polish.
Never use any sharp items, steel wool or coarse, sandy cleaning products to clean any part of the dishwasher.
To clean the door edges use a soft, warm, damp wiping cloth. To prevent water leaking into the door lock or its
electronic parts, do not use any cleaning agents in sprays.
WARNING!
Never use cleaning agents in sprays to clean the dishwasher door because this could damage
the door lock and electrical parts.
Do not use sandy cleaning agents or certain types of kitchen paper towels, because
they could scratch or leave marks on the stainless steel parts of the dishwasher.
Protection against frost
In winter take steps against the dishwasher freezing. After every wash do the following:
Disconnect the dishwasher from the power source.
Close the water inlet and disconnect the supply hose from the water valve.
Drain water from the water supply hose and the water valve. (Drain the water into a container.)
Reconnect the water supply hose to the water valve.
Take out the lter on the bottom of the dishwasher and using a sponge suck up the water from the waste
tank.
NOTE:
If your dishwasher is not working because it has frozen, contact an authorised service technician.
It is important to regularly clean the spraying arms so that hard water minerals do not clog the jets and the
bearings of the spraying arms. Detach the spraying arms by turning the nut clockwise, remove the washer from
the spraying arm and then the spraying arm itself.
Wash the spraying arms in warm soapy water and clean out the jets using a brush. After thoroughly ushing
them reattach them.
How to keep your dishwasher in good condition?
After every wash
After every wash close the water inlet into the dishwasher and leave the door slightly open so that humidity
that would otherwise accumulate inside is ventilated out.
Disconnect from the power socket
Always disconnect the dishwasher from the power source before cleaning or any maintenance.
No solvents or sandy cleaning agents
Never clean the external or rubber parts of the dishwasher using solvents or sandy cleaning agents.
Only use a wiping cloth dipped in warm soapy water.
Remove stains from the surface of the dishwasher using a wiping cloth dipped in water with a little vinegar or
a cleaning agent specially designed for dishwashers.
When taking out of operation for an extended period
We recommend that you run an empty cycle without dishes and then disconnect the dishwasher from the
power source, shut o the water supply and leave the dishwasher door slightly open. This will help to increase
the lifetime of the door seals and will prevent the accumulation of odours inside the dishwasher.
Moving the appliance
In the event that you need to move the appliance, you must move it in the vertical position. If it is really
necessary place it down on its rear side.
Seal
One of the factors causing odours inside the dishwasher is food remains, which get caught in the seals. You can
prevent this by regularly cleaning with a damp sponge.
