BEFORE STARTING THE DISHWASHER
The following things should be checked before
starting the dishwasher:
1. That the dishwasher is level and fixed properly.
2. That the inlet valve is open .
3. There is no leakage at the connections of the
conducts.
4. The wires are tightly connected.
5. The power is switched on.
6. The inlet and drain hoses are not knotted or kinked.
7. All packing & print materials should be taken out of
the dishwasher.
PRIOR TO USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
Fill the Rinse Aid Dispenser
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to
prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes,
which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves
drying by allowing water to roll off the dishes. Your
dishwasher is 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.
Function of the Rinse Aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse,
ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free
drying.
WARNING!
Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill
the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances
(e.g. Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent).
This would damage the appliance.
As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot
on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated
below.
Full
3/4 Full
1/2 Full
1/4 Full (Should refill to eliminate spotting)
Empty
C (Rinse-Aid indicator)
When to refill the Rinse Aid Dispenser
If there is no rinse-aid warning light on the control
panel, you can judge the amount of rinse-aid by the
colour of the optical level indicator "C" located next
to the cap. When the rinse-aid container is full, the
whole indicator will be dark. As the rinse-aid
diminishes, the size of the dark dot decreases. You
should never let the rinse aid get below 1/4 full.
Page 12
Using Your Dishwasher
How to fill the Rinse Aid Dispenser
1. Remove the rinse aid reservoir cap by rotating it
counterclockwise.
2. Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful
not to overfill.
3. Once the reservoir is full, refit the rinse aid cap by
rotating it clockwise.
Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, because this
could cause over sudsing. Wipe away any spills with a
damp cloth. Don't forget to replace the cap before you
close dishwasher door.
ATTENTION! Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling
with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming
during the next wash.

Adjusting the Rinse Aid Dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser has six or four settings. Always
start with the dispenser set on "4". If spots and poor
drying are a problem, increase the amount of rinse aid
dispensed by removing the dispenser lid and rotating
the dial to "5". If the dishes are still not drying properly
or show spots, adjust the dial to the next higher level
until your dishes are spot free. The recommended
setting is "4". (Factory value is "4".)
NOTE: Increase the dose if there are drops of water or
lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce it if
there are sticky whitish stains on your dishes or a
bluish film on glassware or knife blades.
Page 13
Using Your Dishwasher
Detergents
Detergents have chemical ingredients that are
necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport it
out of the dishwasher. Most of the commercial
quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.
There are 3 sorts of detergents:
1. With phosphate and with chlorine
2. With phosphate and without chlorine
3. Without phosphate and without chlorine
Normally new pulverised detergent is without
phosphate. Thus the water softener function of
phosphate is not given. In this case we recommend to
fill salt in the salt container even when the hardness of
water is only 6 °dH. If detergents without phosphate
are used in the case of hard water often white spots
appear on dishes and glasses. In this case please add
more detergent to reach better results. Detergents
without chlorine do only bleach a little. Strong and
coloured spots will not be removed completely. In this
case please choose a program with a higher
temperature.
Concentrated Detergent
Based on their chemical composition, detergents can
be split in two basic types:
Conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic
Ÿ
components
Low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural
Ÿ
enzymes
The use of “normal” washing programs in
combination with concentrated detergents reduces
pollution and is good for your dishes; these wash
programs are specifically matched to the dirt-
dissolving properties of the enzymes of the
concentrated detergent. For this reason
“normal”wash programs in which concentrated
detergents are used can achieve the same results
that can otherwise only be achieved using “intensive”
programs.
Detergent Tablets
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at
different speeds. For this reason some detergent
tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning
power during short programs. Therefore please use
long programs when using detergent tablets, to
ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.
Detergent Dispenser
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each
wash cycle following the instructions provided in the
wash cycle table. Your dishwasher uses less
detergent and rinse aid than Conventional
dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of
detergent is needed for a normal wash load.
More heavily soiled items need more detergent.
Always add the detergent just before starting the
dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not
dissolve properly.
Adding detergent to Dishwasher
1. Add detergent into the larger cavity (A) for the main
wash cycle . For more heavily soiled wash loads,
also add some detergent into the smaller cavity (B)
for the pre-wash cycle .
2. Add detergent or tablet into the larger cavity (A) for
the main wash cycle . For better cleaning result,
especially if you have very dirt items, pour a small
amount of detergent onto the door (B). The
additional detergent will activate during the pre-
wash phase.
Only use branded detergent for dishwasher.

WARNING! Dishwasher detergent is poisonous!
Take care to keep it out of reach of children.
Proper Use of Detergent
Only use detergent specifically made for the use in
Ÿ
dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry.
Don't put powdered detergent into the dispenser
Ÿ
until you're ready to wash dishes.
Please observe the manufacturers dosing and
Ÿ
storage recommendations as stated on the
detergent packaging.
If the dishes are heavily soiled, place an additional
Ÿ
detergent dose in the pre-wash detergent
chamber. This detergent will take effect during the
pre-wash phase.
NOTE: See information about the amount of
detergent for the single programs on ‘Wash Cycle
Table’. Please be aware, that according to the level
soiling and the specific hardness of water differences
are possible.

Close the Detergent compartment
If your dishes are only moderately dirty. You may be
able to use less detergent
1. Close the cover and press down on it until it locks
into place.
If you are using detergent in tablet form, read the
manufacturer recommendations on the packaging
in order to determine where the tablets should be
placed inside the dishwasher (eg. in the cutlery
basket, detergent compartment etc;)
Make sure the lid on the detergent compartment is
closed, even if you are using a tablet.

Baskets.
For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these
loading guidelines. Features and appearance of
baskets and cutlery baskets may vary from your
model.
Scrape off any large food particles. Soften remnants
of burnt food in pans.
It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running
water. Place objects in the dishwasher in following
way:
1. Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are
faced downwards.
2. Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be
loaded aslant so that water can run off.
3. All utensils are stacked securely and can not tip
over.
4. All utensils are placed in the way that the spray
arms can rotate freely during washing.
NOTE: Very small items should not be washed in the
dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the baskets.
Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans
Ÿ
etc. With the opening facing downwards so that
water cannot collect in the container or a deep
base.
Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside
Ÿ
one another, or cover each other.
To avoid damage to glasses, they must not
Ÿ
touch.
Load large items which are most difficult to clean
Ÿ
into the lower basket.
The upper basket is designed to hold more
Ÿ
delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses,
coffee and tea cups.
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position
Ÿ
are a potential hazard!
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as
Ÿ
carving knives must be positioned horizontally in
the upper basket.
Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is
Ÿ
important for good results and for reasonable
consumption of energy.
Note: Very small items should not be washed in
Ÿ
the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the
basket.

Care and Cleaning
Filtering System
The filter prevents larger remnants of food or other
objects from getting inside the pump.
The residue may block the filter, in this case they must
be removed.
The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (Main
filter) and a microfilter (Fine filter).
3
2
1
MAIN FILTER: Food and soil particles trapped
in this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the
lower spray arm and washed down the drain.
COARSE FILTER: Larger items, such as
pieces of bones or glass, that could clog the
drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To
remove an item caught in this filter, gently
squeeze the taps on the top of this filter and
lift it out.
FINE FILTER: This filter holds soil and food
residues in the sump area and prevents it from
being redeposit on the dishes during a cycle.
1
2
3
Filter Assembly & Cleaning
The filter efficiently removes food particles from the
wash water, allowing it to be recycled during the cycle.
For best performance and results, the filter must be
cleaned regularly. 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 device, pull the cup handle in the
upward direction.
WARNING!
The dishwasher must never be used without the
Ÿ
filters.
Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the
Ÿ
performance level of the appliance and damage
dishes and utensils.
STEP 1: Hold the coarse filter and rotate it
anticlockwise to unlock the filter.Lift the filter upwards
and out of the dishwasher.
STEP 2: The fine filter can be pulled off the bottom of
the filter assembly.The coarse filter can be detached
from the main filter by gently squeezing the tabs at the
top and pulling it away.
WARNING!
When cleaning the filters, do not knock on them.
Ÿ
Otherwise, the filters could be contorted and the
performance of the dishwasher could be
decreased.
STEP 3: Larger food remnants can be cleaned by
rinsing the filter under running water. For a more
thorough clean, use a soft cleaning brush.
STEP 4: Reassemble the filters in the reverse order of
the disassembly, replace the filter insert, and rotate
clockwise to the close arrow.

Care and Cleaning
Caring for the Dishwasher
The control panel can be cleaned by using a lightly
dampened cloth. After cleaning, make sure to dry it
thoroughly.
For the exterior, use a good appliance polish wax.
Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh
cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.
Cleaning the Door
To clean the edge around the door, you should use
only a soft warm, damp cloth.
To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and
electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of
any kind.
2. To remove the lower spray arm, pull out the spray
arm upward.
3. Wash the arms in soapy and warm water and use a
soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them using the
reverse method after rinsing them thoroughly.
How to keep your Dishwasher in shape
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the
Ÿ
appliance and leave the door slightly open so that
moisture and odours are not trapped inside.
Before cleaning or performing maintenance,
Ÿ
always remove the electrical plug from the socket.
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the
Ÿ
dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive
cleaning products. Only use a cloth with warm
soapy water.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the
Ÿ
interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a
little vinegar, or a cleaning product made
specifically for dishwashers.
When not in Use for a long time
It is recommend 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 open. This will help the door
seals to 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.
WARNING!
Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel
Ÿ
as it may damage the door lock and electrical
components.
Abrasive agents or some paper towels should not
Ÿ
be used because of the risk of scratching or leaving
spots on the stainless steel surface.
Protect against Freezing
Please take frost protection measures on the
dishwasher in winter. After washing cycles, please
operate as follows:
1. Turn off the electrical power to the dishwasher.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water
inlet pipe from the water valve.
3. Drain the 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 at the bottom of the tub and use a
sponge to soak up water in the sump.
NOTE: If your dishwasher cannot work because of
the ice, please contact an authorised service person.
Cleaning the Spray Arms
It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly for
hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and
bearings.
1. To remove the upper spray arm, hold the nut and
rotate the arm clockwise to remove it.

Always wipe up rinse-aid spills immediately.
Hard water minerals
The affected items are
not corrosion resistant.
A spray arm is
knocking against
an item in a basket
Items of crockery
are loose in the
dishwasher
This may be caused
by on-site installation
or the cross-section
of the piping.
To clean the interior, use a damp sponge with
dishwasher detergent and wear rubber gloves.
Never use any other cleaner than dishwasher
detergent, it may cause foaming or suds.
Interrupt the program, and rearrange the items
which are obstructing the spray arm.
Interrupt the program,
and rearrange the items of crockery.
This has no influence on the dishwasher function.

suds. If this occurs, open the dishwasher and let suds
evaporate. Add 3.75 litres of cold water to the bottom tub
of the dishwasher. Close and latch the dishwasher, then
select any cycle. Dishwasher will drain out the water at the
first step. Open the door after the draining has stopped
and check suds have disappeared. Repeat if necessary.
