PART 3: INSTALLATION

Unpacking

Remove the external packaging, remove the protective plastic  lm from the surface of the appliance (if used) and clean the external parts of the appliance with an agent designed for this purpose. Do not use steel wool or any coarse agents, which could irreparably damage the surface of the appliance. Carefully remove all papers and adhesive tape from the appliance, door and other parts packed in polystyrene. Remove documents and accessories from inside the appliance. The packaging material is recyclable and is marked with a recycling symbol. For disposal follow the local regulations. Packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc.) must be kept out of the reach of children, because they present a possible source of danger. Carefully inspect the appliance. If you discover any defects, stop the installation and contact the vendor.

Placement

Place the appliance in the desired location. The dishwasher is equipped with a water supply hose and a drain hose, which can be connected either on the right or left hand side of the dishwasher.

Levelling the appliance

After placing the dishwasher in its place it is not level, you can level it by using the levelling feet. Under no circumstances should the dishwasher be tilted by more than 2°.

Connecting to a power source

WARNING! For reason of personal safety: Do not connect to an extension cord or a multi-plug socket. Under no circumstances remove or cut away grounding from the power cord.

Power source demands

Information about the required voltage for the connection of the dishwasher to a suitable power source is contained on the appliance's rating label. Use the required 10A fuse, the recommended delaying fuse or circuit breaker and ensure that this appliance has its own independent electrical circuit.

Before use, check that the appliance is properly grounded.

EN - 6

Electrical connection

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 plug the opening.

EN - 7

How to disconnect the water supply hose?

 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.

Cold water supply connection

Connect the water supply hose to the cold water inlet with a 3/4" thread and check that you have tightened it properly. If the hoses are new or have not been used for a long time,  ush them out with water, to be sure that they are clean inside with all dirt removed. If you do not do this, you risk clogging up the water inlet and damaging the appliance.

Hot water supply connection

You can also connect hot water to the dishwasher (supplied by the central system, heated by the heating system), if the water temperature does not exceed 60 °C. This will shorten the washing cycle by 15 minutes and the washing e ciency will be slightly reduced. The connection must be carried out in the same way as for the cold water.

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 100 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 100 cm above the ground. The loose end must not be submerged in water.

EN - 8

Draining 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.

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.

EN - 9

After connecting the inlet and drain hoses, slide the dishwasher into the installation area. Take care not to damage, crimp, bend or otherwise impair any of the hoses.

ATTENTION! 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 is open?  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.

PART 5: BEFORE PUTTING INTO OPERATION

Before  rst use

Before you put your dishwasher into operation: a) set water softening; b) pour 1/2 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.

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).

Remove the testing strip from the packaging.

Allow tap water to  ow over the strip for about 1 minute.

minute

Leave the testing strip dipped in the water for approximately 1 second.

second

Take it out of the water and tap it.

Wait approximately 1 minute for the result.

Compare the hardness value on the strip to the hardness table supplied with the testing strip.

Level 1 (L1) Level 2 (L2) Level 3 (L3) Level 4 (L4) Level 5 (L5) Level 6 (L6)

Without lime scale deposits Very low content Low content Medium high content Slightly high content High content

Setting salt consumption

The dishwasher is designed to enable the adjustment of salt consumption on the basis of the hardness of the water used. This should optimise and adapt the level of salt consumption.

We recommend to make these adjustments according to the following table:

Water hardness level

1 0 – 5 0 – 9 0 – 6 L1 will appear on the display. 2 6 – 11 10 – 20 7 – 14 L2 will appear on the display. 3 12 – 17 21 – 30 15 – 21 L3 will appear on the display. 4 18 – 22 31 – 40 22 – 28 L4 will appear on the display. 5 23 – 31 41 – 55 29 – 39 L5 will appear on the display. 6 32 – 50 56 – 90 40 – 63 L6 will appear on the display.

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. b) Before the  rst wash, pour water into the salt compartment.

EN - 14

salt

c) Place the funnel (included accessory) on the opening of the compartment and pour 2 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) The salt warning indicator light will turn o within 2 - 6 days after the salt compartment has been re lled. f) 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

(depending on the model).

Adding rinsing aid

Rinsing aid compartment

 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.

NOTE 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.

EN - 15

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 bluish layers on glasses or knife blades, lower the dosage.

Function of the detergent

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.

EN - 16

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.

PART 6: ARRANGING DISHES / CUTLERY IN THE DISHWASHER

 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 eating utensil 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.

EN - 19

 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.

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.

Setting the height of the upper rack

The height of the upper rack can be set so as to create more space for larger dishes in the upper / lower rack, without you having to remove the upper rack from the dishwasher. To increase the height of the upper rack, hold the upper rack by both sides and pull it upwards. To reduce the height, hold the upper rack by both sides and push it downwards. Make sure that both sides are at the same height.

EN - 20

Setting the height of the side partitions

You can set the height of the side partitions to create more / less room for larger / smaller glasses / cups in the upper rack. At the same time the side partitions are divided into 4 smaller sections, so you can set 2 di erent heights on either side.

Tilting down the tines in the upper rack

The tilt down tines in the upper rack make it possible to increase the space for placing dishes. Each part may be folded down independently or all at once. The tilting tines can either be tilted down or completely removed.

EN - 21

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.

Remember that:

 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.

Tilting down the tines in the lower rack

For the easier placement of pots and pans into the lower rack, you can tilt down the tines as shown in the picture.

EN - 22

Bottle tine

The bottle tine makes it easier to wash bottles.

Side partitions of the lower rack

The side partitions of the lower rack make it possible to comfortably wash glasses, cutlery, ladles, knives and other kitchen utensils. If you will not be using the side partitions, move them from position "a" to position "b". Make sure that the safety latch are correctly in position "c". If you wish to use the side partitions, perform the latter in reverse order. The side partitions can be used in two position – low position "d" and high position "e". In this way you can gain more space for other dishes.

EN - 23

Basket for cutlery

The special basket for cutlery is located above the upper rack and is specially designed for holding cutlery and small kitchenware. This basket can be easily removed from the dishwasher.

The basket for cutlery consists of two part, which you can use as necessary.

NOTE: Knives and other sharp utensils must be placed horizontally in the basket for cutlery.

Dual wash

This product combines low water pressure in the upper spray arm with high pressure in the lower spray arm. You can, therefore, place lightly soiled dishes in the upper rack and heavily soiled dishes in the lower rack and wash the dishes together. * The "Quick wash 18'" is only suitable for washing lightly soiled dishes from about 4 people. In this program you can only use a powder washing agent.

WARNING! The programs "Quick wash 18'", Quick 30'" and "Super 50'" 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 on conditions such as the type of dishes used, degree of dirtiness, type of dishwashing detergent, water pressure, water hardness, etc.).

The message "Program Paused" (Program paused) will appear on the display. You can open the door when this message appears. Nevertheless, be very careful when opening the door as steam, which may form after the door is opened, may be very hot and may easily cause scalding or other injuries. Restart a paused program by closing the door and pressing the Start/Pause button. The message "Program Activated" (Program activated) will appear on the display after the button is pressed and the selected program will continue in the washing cycle.

EN - 27

Monitoring the washing cycle

When the washing cycle is started, the washing cycle time countdown will also be activated and will be shown on the display. You can monitor the individual phases of the washing cycle by means of the symbols on the display. Gradually the symbols for washing, rinsing and drying will be shown. When the drying symbol is shown, the dishwasher will not make any sound for about 40 – 50 minutes.

Do not open the dishwasher door until the end of cycle symbol appears on the display.

NOTE: You can open the door several minutes after the end of the washing cycle to speed up the drying process. If you open the door during the washing cycle or if the power supply is interrupted during the washing phase, the washing cycle will resume at the point of the interruption. If you open the door during the washing cycle or if the power supply is interrupted during the drying phase, the program will end. The appliance will be ready for starting a new program. The dishwasher is equipped with a water softening process depending on the set water hardness level. For this reason the time remaining to the end of the washing cycle may di er to the time shown at the beginning of the washing cycle. The total washing cycle time may also depend on the room temperature, water temperature in the supply hose, the amount of dishes, etc.

Additional functions

You can add additional functions to a washing program as necessary. The washing programs have been developed to reliably remove all soils from dishes and to provide clean dishes. The additional functions serve to save time, water, power, making washing more e ective. For example, if the dishes are only slightly soiled, the "Quick wash" function will su ce. You will shorted the time and reduce water consumption compared to the standard program. If you also use a tablet that contains all the washing components, you will achieve better results. Additional functions are not available for all washing programs. In the table below you will  nd detailed information about additional functions and washing programs.
