Attention before or after loading the dishwasher baskets

(For the 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 the following way:

• Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. load face downwards.
• Curved items, or those with recesses, should be loaded at a slant so that water can run off.
• All utensils are stacked securely and can not tip over.
• All utensils are placed in a way that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.
• Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening facing downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
• Dishes and cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
• To avoid damage to glasses, they must not be touched.
• Long-bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard!
• Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the basket.
• Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and for reasonable energy consumption.

Folding Down The Rack Shelves

Loading The Detergent

This product doesn’t support adding rinse aid. It only needs to add detergent.

Concentrated Detergent

Based on their chemical composition, detergents can be split in two basic types:

• Conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components.
• Low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.

The use of a Normal washing program in combination with concentrated detergent reduces pollution and is good for your dishes.

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
The detergent must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the Wash Cycle Table. Your dishwasher uses less detergent then a 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

• Open the door carefully
  The dishes should be allowed to cool down for around 15 minutes before removing from the appliance. Open the dishwasher’s door, leave it ajar, and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes. In this way, they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.
• Unloading the dishwasher
  It is normal that the dishwasher is wet inside.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Filter System

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 cleaned regularly. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapping in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull the cup handle in the upward direction.

• Step 1: Turn the filter assembly clockwise, then lift it up.
• Step 2: Lift the fine filter up and separate it from the main filter.
• Inspect the filters for blockages after every time the dishwasher has been used.
• By unscrewing the coarse filter, you can remove the filter system. Remove any food remnants and clean the filters under running water.

Dishwasher Maintenance

After Every Wash
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly open so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside.
Remove The Plug
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket.
Cleaning Best Practices
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the 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 th e interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
When Left Unused
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 lightly open. This will help the door seals to last longer and prevent odors from forming within the appliance.
Moving the Appliance
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in a vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.

INSTALLATION

Water Connection

Connect the hot water supply hose to a threaded 3/4(inch) connector and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place. If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk that the water inlet can get blocked and damage the appliance. Please Note: If the supplied hose does not fit your tap, please contact your local plumbing supply center where adapters are available for purchase.

Connection of drain hoses

The connection of the drain pipe: Put the end of the drain into a sink or bucket.

How to Drain Excess Water From Hoses

If the sink is more than 39 1/4″ (1000mm) higher than the floor, the excess water in the hoses cannot be drained directly into the sink. It will be necessary to drain excess water from hoses into a bowl or suitable container that is held outside and lower than the sink.

Water Outlet
Connect the water drain hose. The drain hose must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks. Ensure that the water drain hose is not kinked or squashed.

Extension Hose
If you need a drain hose extension, make sure to use a similar drain hose. It must be no longer than 13″, otherwise the cleaning effect of the dishwasher could be reduced.
