INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: The installation of the pipes and electrical equipment should be done by professionals.

The installation position of the dishwasher should be near the existing inlet and drain hoses and power cord. One side of the cabinet sink should be chosen to facilitate the connection of the drain hoses of the dishwasher.

RINSE AID DISPENSER

The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets that can leave spots and streaks on your dishes. It also improves drying by allowing water to shed 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. The volume of the rinse aid container is about 110ml.

FUNCTION OF RINSE AID

Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing and spot and streak-free drying.

ATTENTION!

Only use branded rinse aid for the dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances. (e.g., Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.

WHEN TO REFILL THE RINSE AID DISPENSER

If there is no rinse-aid warning light in the control panel, you can judge the amount of rinse-aid by the color 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.

1. Open the dispenser, turn the cap to the “open” (left) arrow, and lift it out.
2. Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill.
3. Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with the “open” arrow and turning it to the closed (right) arrow.

NOTE: Clean up any rinse aid splatter during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excessive foaming during the next wash. Don’t forget to replace the cap before you close the dishwasher door.

ADJUSTING RINSE AID DISPENSER

The rinse aid dispenser has four settings. The recommended setting is on “3”. If the dishes still are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number on “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.

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 a conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. Also, 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.

LOADING THE BASKET

Position the dishes and cookware so that they will not get moved by the spray of water.

PLATE RACKS OF BASKET

The basket is fitted with plate racks which can be stowed horizontally if required.

CUTLERY BASKET

Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery basket with handles at the bottom. If the rack has side baskets, the spoon should be loaded individually into the appropriate slots, especially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at the front of the upper basket.

WARNING: DO NOT LET ANY ITEM EXTEND THROUGH THE BOTTOM. ALWAYS LOAD SHARP UTENSILS WITH THE SHARP POINT DOWN.

TURNING ON THE APPLIANCE

Starting a wash cycle.

1. Draw out the basket.

CHANGE THE PROGRAM

You can modify the washing program when the dishwasher just runs for a short time. Otherwise, the detergent may have already been released, and the appliance may have already drained the wash water. If this is the case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled.

To change the washing program, press the program button for more than three seconds. The machine will be in standby state, then you can change the program to the desired cycle setting (see the section entitled “Starting a wash cycle”)

NOTE: If you open the door when washing, the machine will pause. When you close the door, you need to press the start/pause button to keep the machine working.

1. Press the start/pause button.
2. Open the door a little to stop the washing.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

FILTERING SYSTEM

The filter prevents larger remnants of food or other objects from getting inside the pump. The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (Main filter), and a micro filter (fine filter).

Main Filter

Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the spray arm and washed down to drain.

Fine Filter

This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being deposited on the dishes during the wash cycle.

Coarse Filter

Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass, that could block the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove the items caught by the filter, gently squeeze the tap on the top of this filter and lift out.

FILTER ASSEMBLY

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 assembly must be regularly maintained. 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 filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull on the cup handle in the upward direction.

CLEANING THE FILTER

To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Reassemble the filter parts and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat and pressing downward.

WARNING: When cleaning the filters, don’t knock on them. Otherwise, the filters could be contorted and the performance of dishwasher could be debased.

CARING FOR THE DISHWASHER

The control panel can be cleaned by using a lightly dampened cloth and then dried thoroughly.

The exterior uses a good appliance polish wax.

Never use sharp objects, scouring pads, or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

PROTECT AGAINST FREEZING

Please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in winter. Each time after washing cycles, please operate as follows:

1. Cut 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 water from the inlet pipe and the 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 use up water in sump.

NOTE: If your dishwasher cannot work because of the ice, please contact professional service personnel.
