Water and Electrical Connection
Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water supply with a minimum pressure of 0.04 MPa and a maximum of 1 MPa. Ensure the drain hose is properly connected to a suitable drain. The dishwasher requires a 240V electrical supply. All connections should be performed by a qualified technician in accordance with local codes and regulations.
Filling Salt and Rinse Aid
Before first use, fill the salt dispenser with dishwasher salt and the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid. Refer to the indicators on the appliance for optimal levels. These help prevent limescale and ensure streak-free drying.
Operating Instructions
Loading Dishes
Scrape off large food particles before loading. Place dishes securely in the baskets, ensuring water spray can reach all surfaces. Avoid overcrowding. The dishwasher has a 14 place setting capacity.

Selecting a Program and Starting a Cycle
Turn on the dishwasher. Use the control panel (touch controls with LED display) to select a wash program suitable for your load. Available cycle options include Normal, Intensive, and Delicate. You can also use the flexible half-load function for smaller loads or the three-level time delay function to start the cycle later. Press the Start button to begin the cycle.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Cleaning Filters
Regularly clean the filter system to ensure optimal washing performance. Twist and remove the coarse filter, then separate the fine filter. Rinse both under running water to remove any food debris. Reassemble and secure them back in place.

Cleaning Spray Arms
Check the spray arm nozzles regularly for blockages. If necessary, remove the spray arms and clean the holes with a thin object like a toothpick. Rinse thoroughly and reattach.

Wipe the exterior of the dishwasher with a damp cloth. For the interior, periodically run a dishwasher cleaning cycle with a specialized cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

- Dishwasher does not start: Check power supply, door closure, and selected program.
