Using the detergent and water softener

WATER SOFTENER MODE (WATER HARDNESS LEVEL SETTING)

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 optimise the level of salt consumption. To set the salt consumption, proceed as below:

1. Switch on the appliance;

2. Press the Pre Wash o Program button for more than 5 seconds to start the water softener set model within 60 seconds after the appliance was switched on;

• • Press the Pre Wash o Program button to select the proper set according to your local environment, the sets will change in the following sequence: H1 H2  H3  H4  H5  H6; It is recommended that adjustments should be made in accordance with the following table.

* The manufactory setting: H3 (EN 50242)

3. Wait for 5 seconds to end the set up model.

WATER SOFTENER

The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits may form on dishes and utensils. The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.

[Deposits on utensils]

LOADING THE SALT INTO THE SOFTENER

Always use salt intended for use with dishwasher. The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:

ATTENTION

• Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers. All other types of salt not specifically designed for use 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 any warranty nor is liable for any caused damages.
• Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programs. 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.

1. Remove the lower basket and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container. Open

2. If you are filling the container for the first time, fill 2/3 of its volume with water (around 1 liter).

3. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce about 1.5 kg 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.

5. Usually, the salt warning light will be off after the salt container is filled with salt.

Note:

• The salt container must be refilled when the salt warning light on the control panel comes on. Although the salt container is filled enough, the indicator light may not switch off until the salt fully dissolves. If there is no salt warning light on the control panel, you can judge when to load the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher has run.
• If a lot of salt is spilt inside the dishwasher, run a pre wash program to reduce the spillage.

USING DETERGENT

All dishwasher cycles require detergent in the detergent compartment. Add the correct amount of detergent for the selected cycle to ensure the best performance.

CAUTION: Use dishwasher detergent only. Regular detergent produces too much foam, which may decrease the dishwasher’s performance or cause it to malfunction.

WARNING: Do not swallow dishwasher detergent. Avoid breathing in the fumes. Dishwasher detergent contains irritants and caustic chemicals that can induce respiratory conditions. If you have swallowed dishwasher detergent or inhaled the fumes, seek medical attention immediately.

WARNING: Keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children.

Filling the detergent dispenser

1. Open the detergent dispenser flap by pushing the detergent dispenser release catch. The flap is always open at the end of a dishwashing cycle

2. Add the recommended amount of detergent to the main wash detergent compartment.

3. Close the flap by sliding it to the left and then pressing it down. There is no separate button that is specific to using tablet detergents.

4. For better cleaning result, especially if you have very dirt items, add small amount (about 8 g) of detergent on the door. That will act in prewash phase.

USING RINSE AID

Filling the rinse aid reservoir

When the Rinse Refill indicator lights up on the control panel, refill with rinse aid. Your dishwasher has been designed to use liquid rinse aid only. Using a powdered rinse aid will clog the reservoir opening and cause the dishwasher to malfunction. Rinse aid improves the drying performance of the dishwasher.

CAUTION: Do not add regular detergent to the rinse aid reservoir.

1. Remove the rinse aid reservoir cap by rotating it counterclockwise. Adding rinse aid to tablet detergents will improve drying performance.

2. Fill the rinse aid reservoir with rinse aid. Use the viewing port when filling the rinse aid reservoir.

CAUTION: Do not fill the reservoir above the full level indicator. Excess rinse aid can overflow during the wash cycle.

3. Turn the rinse aid indicator dial to a number between 1 and 6. The higher the number, the more rinse aid the dishwasher uses. If you are unable to rotate the rinse aid dial easily, try using a coin.

4. Close the rinse aid reservoir cap by rotating it clockwise.

HOW TO USE THE MULTI TAP OPTION

Your dishwasher has a Multi tap option which does not need salt and rinse aid but a 3 In1 tablet. This option can select on Intensive, Eco program only.

Note: The Multi tap setting is only for use with Multi tap tablets. If using Multi tap tablet without this option, the appliance will not get its best performance.

1. Put the Multi tap tablet into the container then start the Multi tap option.
2. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.

Note: When using Multi tap compact combination detergents ensure that the lid can be closed correctly.

ATTENTION: Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s reach. Always add the detergent in the dispenser just before starting the dishwasher.

Cleaning and care

CLEANING THE FILTERS

Filtering system

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.

1. Main filter: Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the lower spray arm and washed down the drain.
2. Coarse filter: Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass, that could clog the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove an item caught in this filter, gently squeeze the tabs on top of this filter and lift it out.
3. Fine filter: This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being redeposited on the dishes during a cycle.

ATTENTION: Do not put the fine filter upside down.

Filter assembly

For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned. The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle. 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 assembly, turn it in anti-clockwise direction and lift the filter assembly up. The entire filter assembly should be cleaned regularly. To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat, pressing downward, turning it clockwise direction.

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.

WARNING: Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place. When cleaning the filters, do not damage them. Otherwise the filters may not perform as intended and poor wash results or damage to the internal parts may be encountered.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS

It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly as hard water chemicals may clog the spray arm jets and bearings. To remove the middle spray arm, hold the nut, 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

CLEANING THE DOOR

To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm, damp rag. Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they will scratch the finish. Some papers towels can also scratch or leave marks on the surface.

WARNING: Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel for it could damage the door lock and electrical components. It is not advised to use the abrasive agent or some paper towel because of the risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stainless steel surface.

CARING FOR THE DISHWASHER

To clean the control panel use a lightly damp cloth then dry thoroughly. To clean the exterior use a good appliance polish wax. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

PROTECT AGAINST FREEZING

If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter:

1. Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3. Drain 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 in the tub the bottom and use a sponge sock up water.

HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR DISHWASHER

• After Every Wash After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odours not trapped inside.
• Remove the Plug Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket.
• No Solvents or Abrasive cleaning To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. use only a cloth and warm soapy water. To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, Use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
• When You Go on Holiday When you go on holiday, it is recommended 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 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
