Water Connection

Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap with a 3/4-inch thread. Ensure the connection is secure to prevent leaks. The drain hose should be connected to a suitable drain pipe or sink trap, ensuring it is not kinked or obstructed.

Electrical Connection

The dishwasher operates on 220/240V, 60Hz. Connect the power cord to a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords or adapters.

Initial Use

Before the first wash cycle, it is recommended to fill the salt dispenser with dishwasher salt and the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid. Refer to the "Operating" section for detailed instructions on adding these consumables.

Operating Instructions

Control Panel Overview

The control panel is located on the top edge of the dishwasher door. It features an LED display and push-button controls for program selection, start/pause, and other functions.

(Note: Specific button layouts and display indicators may vary slightly. Refer to the diagram in your physical manual for exact details.)

Loading the Dishwasher

Proper loading ensures optimal cleaning results. Scrape off large food particles before loading. Place larger items in the lower basket and smaller, delicate items in the upper basket. Ensure spray arms can rotate freely.

• Lower Basket: Ideal for plates, bowls, pots, and pans.
• Upper Basket: Suitable for glasses, cups, and small plates.
• Cutlery Basket: Place forks, spoons, and knives with handles down (knives with sharp points down for safety).

Adding Detergent, Rinse Aid, and Salt

Open the detergent dispenser and add the recommended amount of dishwasher detergent. Close the dispenser cover firmly. Check the rinse aid indicator and refill if necessary. For areas with hard water, regularly check and refill the salt dispenser.

Program Selection

Your dishwasher offers 8 wash programs. Select the appropriate program based on the type and soil level of your dishes.

Starting a Wash Cycle

Close the dishwasher door firmly. Select your desired program using the program selection button. Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle. The display will show the remaining time.

Interrupting/Cancelling a Cycle

To interrupt a cycle, open the door slightly. The dishwasher will pause. To resume, close the door. To cancel a cycle, press and hold the Start/Pause button for a few seconds until the program resets. Be cautious when opening the door during a cycle as hot steam may escape.

End of Cycle

At the end of the cycle, the dishwasher will beep and the display will indicate completion. Open the door slightly to allow steam to escape and dishes to cool before unloading. Unload the lower basket first to prevent water from dripping onto dry dishes.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures the efficient operation and extends the lifespan of your dishwasher.

Cleaning the Filters

The filter system prevents larger food particles from entering the pump. Clean the filters regularly (at least once a week) to ensure optimal cleaning performance.

1. Twist the cylindrical filter counter-clockwise and lift it out.
2. Remove the fine filter from the bottom of the wash tub.
3. Rinse all filter components under running water to remove food particles. Use a soft brush if necessary.
4. Reassemble the filters in reverse order, ensuring they are securely in place.

Cleaning the Spray Arms

Check the spray arm nozzles for blockages (e.g., from food particles). If blocked, remove the spray arms and clean the nozzles with a thin object like a toothpick. Rinse thoroughly and reattach.

Cleaning the Interior and Exterior

Wipe the exterior of the dishwasher with a damp cloth. For the interior, periodically run a dishwasher cleaner or a cycle with white vinegar to remove grease and limescale buildup.

Descaling

In hard water areas, limescale can build up. Use a dishwasher descaler as per the product instructions, or run an empty cycle with a cup of white vinegar placed in the lower basket.

Winterizing (for non-use periods)

If the dishwasher will be out of use for an extended period or in an unheated location during winter, drain all water from the appliance to prevent freezing damage. Disconnect water and power supplies.
