• Page 3: Safety instructions include general safety warnings, installation warnings, and precautions during usage. Installation covers machine positioning, water connection, water inlet hose, drain hose, electrical connection, and fitting the machine undercounter. Technical specifications detail the general appearance and technical specifications of the appliance. Before using the appliance, prepare the dishwasher for first use, manage salt usage, fill the salt, and understand the water hardness table and softener system. Loading your dishwasher includes recommendations and alternative basket loads. The programme table outlines the available washing programs. The control panel section explains how to change and cancel a programme and switch the machine off. Cleaning and maintenance focus on filters, spray arms, and the drain pump. Troubleshooting provides guidance for resolving common issues.
• Page 4: There may be some residue left in the machine after washing. Keep children away from the machine when it is open. Choose a suitable and safe place to install your machine. Only original spare parts should be used with the machine. Unplug the machine before installation. Your machine must only be installed by an authorised service agent. Installation by anyone other than an authorised agent may cause your warranty to be void. Check that the indoor electrical fuse system is connected in line with safety regulations. All electrical connections must match the values on the plate. Ensure the machine does not stand on the electrical supply cable. Never use an extension cord or a multiple socket connection. The plug should be accessible after the machine is installed.
• Page 5: Always use the coated plug supplied with your machine. If the electrical cable is damaged, it should only be replaced by a qualified electrician. Connect the hose directly to the water inlet tap. The pressure supplied by the tap should be a minimum of 0.03 MPa and a maximum of 1 MPa. This machine is for domestic use only; do not use it for other purposes. Do not stand, sit or place loads on the open door of the dishwasher. Only use detergents and rinse aids produced specifically for dishwashers. Do not drink water from the machine. Due to the danger of explosion, do not place any chemical dissolving agents into the machine’s washing section. Check the heat-resistance of plastic items before washing them in the machine.
• Page 6: Do not open the door while the machine is in operation, hot water may spill out. Safety devices ensure the machine stops if the door is opened. The machine door should not be left open. It may cause accidents. Place knives and other sharp objects in the cutlery basket in a blade-down position. For models with the automatic door-opening system, when the EnergySave option is active, the door will open at the end of a program. To prevent damage to your dishwasher, do not attempt to close the door for one minute after it has opened. For effective drying, keep the door open for 30 minutes after a programme has ended. In the case of a malfunction, repair should only be performed by an authorised service company, otherwise the warranty will be void. Before repair work, the machine should be disconnected from the mains. For safety, disconnect the plug once a program has finished. To avoid an electric shock, do not unplug the machine with wet hands.
• Page 7: Water inlet hose should be new and not from an old machine. Position the machine in an area where dishes can be easily loaded and unloaded. Do not place the machine where the ambient temperature falls below 0°C. Leave adequate distance around the machine for cleaning and movement. Ensure hoses are not squeezed or trapped and the machine is not on the electrical cable. Adjust the feet for a level and balanced machine on flat ground. Connect the hose directly to the water inlet tap with specified pressure limits. Check for water leaks after making connections and turn off the water inlet tap after use. Consider fitting a filter to the water inlet supply to prevent damage from contamination. Use cold water for most models, with a maximum hot water temperature of 60 °C for others.
• Page 8: Drain hose connection is model depending. Your machine operates at 220-240 V. If the mains voltage supply is 110 V, use a transformer of 110/220 V and 3000 W. Connect the product to a grounded outlet protected by a fuse. The earthed plug must connect to an earthed outlet with suitable voltage and current. Connect the water drain hose directly to the water drain hole or sink outlet spigot. The drain connection should be between 50 cm and 110 cm from the floor. An authorized electrician should carry out earthing installation if absent. Items will not wash properly if a drain hose longer than 4 m is used. The plug may incorporate a 13A fuse depending on the target country.
• Page 9: Fitting the machine undercounter requires sufficient space and suitable wiring-plumbing. The countertop must be stable to prevent imbalance. The top panel of the dishwasher must be removed to fit the machine under the countertop. To remove the top panel, unscrew it from the rear, push it 1 cm from the front, and lift it. Adjust the machine feet according to the slope of the floor. Fit the machine by pushing it under the counter, avoiding crushing or bending the hoses. Consider the product's height when fitting the machine, which varies based on the presence of felt on the top. If there is no felt, the product's height is 820 mm, 830 mm, or 835 mm depending on the configuration. If there is felt on the top of the product with a 2nd or 3rd basket, the height must also be taken into account. Ensure the machine is placed in a space that matches the dimensions shown in the figure.

• Page 11: Recycling Some machine components and packaging consist of recyclable materials. Plastics are marked with the international abbreviations. The cardboard parts consist of recycled paper. They can be put into waste paper containers for recycling. Material unsuitable for domestic waste must be disposed of at recycling centres. Contact a relevant recycling centre to obtain information about disposal of different materials. Packaging and the environment Packaging materials protect your machine from damage that may occur during transportation. The packaging materials are environmentally friendly as they are recyclable. The use of recycled material reduces raw material consumption and therefore decreases waste production. Disposal of your old machine The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead, it shall be taken to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health.
• Page 12: To add softener salt, open the salt compartment cap by turning it counterclockwise. At first use, fill the compartment with 1 kg salt and water until it is almost overflowing. Using a funnel will make filling easier. After every 20-30 cycles, add salt into your machine until it fills up (approx. 1 kg). Make sure the electricity and supply water specifications match the values indicated in the installation instructions for the machine. Remove all packaging material inside the machine. Set the water softener level. Fill the rinse aid compartment. The dishwasher needs soft, less calcareous water for a good washing function. Use softener salt specifically produced for use in dishwashers.
• Page 13: Test strip procedure involves running water through the tap for one minute and keeping the strip in the water for one second. The hardness level of the machine is set to 3 by default. For well water or hardness levels above 90 dF, it is recommended to use filter and refinement devices. The water hardness table includes various levels of hardness measured in French dF, British dE, and German dH. The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener that reduces the hardness in the mains water supply. To find out the hardness level of tap water, contact the water company or use a test strip. To set the machine, turn it on and press the Program button for at least three seconds. Release the Program button when SL is shown to display the last setting level. Each press of the Program button increases the hardness level, cycling back to 1 after reaching level 6. The last selected water hardness level is stored in memory when the machine is turned off.
• Page 14: Detergent usage requires using products specifically designed for domestic dishwashers. Keep detergents in cool, dry places out of reach of children. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for detergent use. Never put combined detergents into the interior section or the cutlery basket. The amount of detergent needed depends on the cycle, load size, and soil level of dishes. Using too much detergent can cause glass corrosion and machine damage. Combined detergents may contain rinse-aid and other components; avoid using them in short programs. Rinse aid helps to dry dishes without streaks and is required for stain-free utensils. If rinse aid dosage is set too low, whitish stains may remain on dishes. To fill the rinse aid compartment, open the cap and fill to the MAX level, avoiding overfill.
• Page 15: In order to change the rinse aid level, follow the below steps before turning on the machine. Turn on the machine by pressing the On/Off button. Press the Programme button for at least 5 seconds immediately after the machine is turned on. Release the Programme button when “rA” is shown. Rinse aid level setting follows water hardness level setting. Set the level by pushing the programme button. Switch off the machine to save the setting. The factory setting is “4”. If the dishes are not drying properly or are spotted, increase the level. If blue stains form on your dishes, decrease the level.
• Page 16: Recommendations for loading your dishwasher include removing coarse residue from dishes before placing them in the machine. Start the machine with a full load for best results. Loading the dishwasher to the manufacturer's indicated capacity contributes to energy and water savings. Manual pre-rinsing of tableware is not recommended as it increases water and energy consumption. Place cups, glasses, and small plates in the upper basket, ensuring long glasses do not lean against one another to avoid damage. Do not overload the drawers or place dishes in the wrong basket. For safety, place sharp knives with their points facing down or horizontally. Ensure all containers are placed with openings facing downwards to prevent water collection. Use the cutlery grid if available for best results. Place large and very dirty items in the lower rack, and avoid obstructing the rotation of spray arms. Ensure that loaded dishes do not prevent the opening of the detergent dispenser.
• Page 17: Four folding racks allow easier placement of larger items, such as pots and pans. Each section can be folded separately. The racks can be raised up or folded down. The upper basket includes a mechanism that enables the height of the basket to be adjusted without having to remove it. Hold the basket on both sides and pull it up or push it down. Ensure both sides of the upper basket are in the same position.
• Page 18: Height adjustable rack (peg type) The foldable racks in the upper basket enable the placement of large items such as pots and pans. Each section can be folded separately. The foldable racks can be either raised up or folded down. The upper cutlery basket is designed for the placement of large and small cutlery and utensils. Warning: Knives and other sharp objects must be placed horizontally in the cutlery basket.
• Page 19: Alternative basket loads Unsuitable items for dishwashing Lower basket • Cigarette ashes, candle leftovers, polish, paint, chemical substances, iron-alloy materials. • Forks, spoons and knives with wooden, bone, ivory or nacre-coated handles; glued items, items soiled with abrasive, acidic or base chemicals. • Temperature-sensitive plastics, copper or tin-coated containers. • Aluminium and silver objects. Upper basket • Some delicate glasses, ornamental printed porcelains; some crystal items, adhered cutlery, lead crystal glasses, cutting boards, synthetic fibred items. • Absorbent items such as sponges or kitchen rugs. Important: In future, purchase dishwasher-proof kitchenware. Incorrect loads Incorrect loading can cause poor washing and drying performance. Please follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for a good performance result.
• Page 20: Programme table outlines various washing programs available. Program names include Smart, Dual Pro Wash, Mini 14', Quick 30', Eco, and Super 50'. Each program is suitable for different types of soil and levels of soil. The Smart program is designed for both lightly soiled and daily using dishes. The Dual Pro Wash program is suitable for delicate glassware and heavily soiled crockery. The Mini 14' program is the fastest option for lightly soiled dishes. The Quick 30' program is ideal for normally soiled daily dishes. The Eco program focuses on reduced energy and water consumption. The Super 50' program is suitable for normally soiled delicate dishes. Detergent amounts and program durations vary for each washing program.
• Page 21: The program duration may change according to the amount of dishes, the water temperature, the ambient temperature and selected additional functions. Eco programme is suitable to clean normally soiled tableware and is the most efficient programme in terms of its combined energy and water consumption. Washing tableware in a household dishwasher usually consumes less energy and water in the use phase than hand dishwashing when used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Only use powder detergent for short programs. Short programs do not include drying. To assist drying, we recommend slightly opening the door after a cycle is complete. You can access the product database where the model information is stored by reading the QR code on the energy label. According to regulations 1016/2010 and 1059/2010, Eco program energy consumption values may differ. This table is in line with regulations 2019/2022 and 2017/2022.

• Page 26: To remove and clean the filter combination, turn it counter clockwise and remove it by lifting it upwards. Pull the coarse filter out of the micro filter. Rinse the filter with lots of water until it is free of residue. Reassemble the filters and rotate the filter insert clockwise. Cleaning your dishwasher is important to maintain the machine’s service life. Make sure that the water softening setting is done correctly and the correct amount of detergent is used to prevent limescale accumulation. Never use your dishwasher without a filter. Clean filters are necessary for proper running of the machine. Make sure that the spray holes are not clogged and that no food waste or foreign object is stuck to the spray arms. Wipe the door seals regularly with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated residue or foreign objects.
• Page 27: Drain pump Large food residues or foreign objects which were not captured by the filters may block the waste water pump. The rinsing water will then be above the filter. Warning risk of cuts! When cleaning the waste water pump, ensure that you do not injure yourself on pieces of broken glass or pointed implements. First always disconnect the appliance from the power supply. Take out baskets. Remove the filters. Scoop out water, use a sponge if required. Check the area and remove any foreign objects. Install filters.
• Page 28: Troubleshooting Possible causes for issues with the dishwasher include being unplugged or switched off. Check indoor fuses if the fuse is blown. Ensure the water inlet tap is turned on and the dishwasher door is closed. If the program does not start, check for a closed water inlet tap or an open dishwasher door. Clogged water inlet hose and machine filters can prevent operation. Water remaining inside the machine may be due to clogged filters or an unfinished program. If the machine stops during washing, check for water inlet failure. Shaking and hitting noises may occur if the spray arm is hitting dishes in the lower basket. Dishes should be placed correctly to ensure proper water spray coverage. Use the correct amount of detergent as instructed in the program table to avoid food waste on dishes.
• Page 29: Fault possible cause troubleshooting Use the correct amount of detergent, as instructed in the programme table. Not enough detergent used. Increase rinse aid and/or water softener setting.
