• Position the appliance near a water supply, drain, and electrical outlet.

4.3 Water Connection:

• Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe or sink, ensuring it is securely fastened and positioned to prevent backflow.

• Ensure the voltage and frequency match the specifications on the rating plate of the dishwasher.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Control Panel:

The control panel (Figure 2) features an LED display and various buttons for program selection and settings. Familiarize yourself with the icons and their functions.

5.2 Selecting a Wash Program:

Your dishwasher offers 7 wash programs to suit different types of loads and soil levels:

• Eco: Energy-efficient program for normally soiled dishes.
• Intensive: For heavily soiled dishes, pots, and pans.
• Quick: A shorter program for lightly soiled dishes without drying.
• Auto: Automatically adjusts wash cycle based on soil level detected by sensors.
• Delicate: Gentle wash for fragile items like glassware.
• Pre-wash: A short rinse cycle to prevent food from drying onto dishes if you're not running a full wash immediately.
• Glass: Specifically designed for delicate glassware, ensuring sparkling results.

Use the program selection buttons on the control panel to choose your desired program. The LED display will show the selected program and estimated remaining time.

5.3 Starting a Cycle:

• Load the dishwasher (see Section 6).
• Add detergent to the dispenser.
• Select the desired program.
• Close the dishwasher door firmly.
• Press the Start button to begin the cycle.
