Page 5: Safety information Please read these instructions fully before installing or operating. Keep this manual for future reference. Check that the indoor electrical fuse system is connected in line with safety regulations. Do not operate the machine if it appears damaged or if the packaging has been opened. Ensure the machine does not stand on the electrical supply cable. Never use an extension cord or a multiple socket connection. This machine is for domestic use only; do not use it for other purposes. Keep children away from detergents and rinse aids. Do not stand, sit or place loads on the open door of the dishwasher. Only use detergents and rinse aids produced specifically for dishwashers. Your machine must only be installed by an authorised service agent.
Page 6: Safety information Please read these instructions fully before installing or operating. Keep this manual for future reference. Do not open the door while the machine is in operation, hot water may spill out. Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the basket with their points down or placed in a horizontal position. 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 agent. Before cleaning and maintenance, the machine should be disconnected from the mains. To avoid loading the dishwasher incorrectly, always refer to the section of Using Your Dishwasher before operation. The maximum number of place settings to be washed is 12. The new hose-sets supplied with the machine are to be used and any old hose-sets should not be reused. For safety reason, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and switch off the water tap if the machine will not be used for an extended period of time.

Page 12: Installing your dishwasher involves several key steps. The machine operates at 220-240 V; if the mains voltage is 110 V, a transformer is required. The drain hose must be inserted into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4 cm or run into the sink, avoiding bends or crimps. The height of the drain pipe should be less than 1000 mm, and the free end of the hose must not be immersed in water. The product should be connected to a grounded outlet protected by a fuse. In the absence of earthing installation, an authorized electrician should perform the installation. If the drain pipe connection is higher than 1000 mm, excess water may remain in the hose and must be drained into a suitable container. The dishwasher height is designed to fit between existing cabinets of the same height in modern kitchens. Ensure the water drain hose is correctly fitted to avoid leaks and is not kinked or squashed. If extending the drain hose, use a similar hose and keep the length under 4 meters to maintain cleaning effectiveness.
Page 13: Installing your dishwasher requires careful consideration of space and leveling. Ensure there is space for the door to open if the dishwasher is installed at the corner of the cabinet. Remove the worktop of the dishwasher by unscrewing the screws under the rear edge. The dishwasher must be level for proper dish rack operation and wash performance. Check the level by placing a spirit level on the door and rack track inside the tub. Adjust the four leveling feet on the base of the dishwasher to achieve the correct level. The installation position should be near the existing inlet and drain hose and power socket. Ensure the gap between the top of the dishwasher and the cabinet is less than 5mm. Align the dishwasher to the cabinet to prevent tipping over. Consult the troubleshooting section for technical guidance if the product is not operating as intended.
Page 15: Functions Operating the machine Forget to add a dish? A forgotten dish can be added any time before the detergent dispenser opens. It is recommended to load the lower basket first, then the upper one. Press the Start/Pause button to pause the washing. When the spray arms stop working, you can open the door after 5 seconds to avoid the steam heat. A program can only be changed if it has been running only for a short period of time. If the dishes are not intended to be offloaded right after washing, it is recommended to open the door slightly to air it out. It is dangerous to open the door mid-cycle, as hot steam may scald you.
Page 16: Functions Simple everyday use Programme table shows which programs are best for levels of food residue and detergent needed. Consumption values and program duration are indicative except for ECO program. ECO program is suitable for normally soiled tableware and is the most efficient in terms of energy and water consumption. Pre-rinsing of tableware items is not recommended as it increases water and energy consumption. Washing tableware in a dishwasher usually consumes less energy and water than hand dishwashing when used according to instructions. Technical guidance can often be found in the Troubleshooting section of these instructions.
Page 18: Using your dishwasher Getting the most from your appliance Test the water hardness using a strip. Keep the strip in the water for 1 second. Set the hardness level of your machine. The default hardness level setting is “3”. If the water is well water or has a hardness level above 90 dF, use filter and refinement devices. The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which reduces the hardness in the mains water supply. To find out the hardness level of your tap water, contact your water company or use a test strip.
Page 19: Using your dishwasher Getting the most from your appliance Adjusting salt consumption The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjustment in the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used. Please follow the steps below for adjustment in salt consumption. Add detergent into the larger cavity for the main wash cycle. For better cleaning results, especially if you have very dirty items, pour a small amount of detergent onto the door. Only use detergents specifically designed for domestic dishwashers. The amount of detergent needed depends on the cycle, load size, and soil level of dishes. Do not fill detergent into the detergent compartment more than required. Using little detergent can result in poor cleaning and you can see whitish streaks in hard water.
Page 20: Using your dishwasher Getting the most from your appliance Combined detergents contain not only the detergent but also rinse-aid, salt replacement substances, and additional components. Never put combined detergents into the interior section or the cutlery basket. We recommend you do not use combined detergents in short programmes. To achieve a better drying performance with limited rinse aid, the dishwasher is designed to adjust the consumption by user. Rinse aid helps to dry the dishes without streaks and stains. Rinse aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses. If rinse aid dosage setting is set too low, whitish stains remain on dishes. The regularity of the dispenser needing to be refilled depends on how often dishes are washed and the rinse aid setting used. The default setting for rinse aid is D3.
Page 21: Using your dishwasher Getting the most from your appliance Loading your dishwasher For best results, follow these loading guidelines. The height of the upper basket can be easily adjusted. Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy consumption and is not recommended. Place all containers such as cups, glasses and pots into the dishwasher with the opening facing downwards. Dishes and cutlery should not be placed above each other. Take care not to obstruct the rotation of spray arms. Remove any coarse residue on dishes before placing them in the machine. To avoid any possible injuries, place long-handle and sharp-pointed knives with their sharp points facing down.
Page 22: Using your dishwasher Getting the most from your appliance Loading the baskets according to EN60436 Important note for test laboratories The maximum loading weight is 1.5kg. Loading the dishwasher to its full capacity will contribute to energy and water savings. Incorrect loading can cause poor washing and drying performance. Please follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for a good performance result. Capacity: 12 place settings Position of the upper basket: lower position

Page 27: Product support Help is always at hand Troubleshooting The dishes aren't drying With a short program, the washing temperature is lower, decreasing cleaning performance. Choose a program with a long washing time. Wrong program has been selected. Use of cutlery with a low-quality coating. Water drainage is more difficult with these items.
