• Page 6: Product overview includes the display and its functions. The display shows the selected program, remaining time, delay time, and error codes. The intensive program is for heavily soiled items like pots and pans. The normal program is suitable for normally soiled loads such as pots, plates, and glasses. The eco program is the standard for normally soiled loads. The glass program is for lightly soiled crockery and glass. The 90 min program is for normally soiled loads needing a quick wash. The rapid program is a shorter wash for lightly soiled loads without drying. The prewash is for rinsing dishes planned to be washed later. Prior to using the dishwasher for the first time, set the water softener, add dishwasher salt, fill the rinse aid dispenser, and fill in detergent.
• Page 7: Loading the salt into the softener. The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as explained. The water softener must be set manually, using the water hardness dial. The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water. The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Only use salt specifically designed for dishwashers. The dishwasher allows for adjustment in the amount of salt consumed based on water hardness. Only fill with salt before running a cycle to prevent corrosion. Follow the steps for adjustment in salt consumption. Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.
• Page 8: Please follow the steps below for adding dishwasher salt. The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances. When to refill the rinse aid dispenser. You should never let the rinse aid level be less than 1/4 full. The salt warning light will turn off after the salt container has been filled with salt. Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing program should be started. The chemical ingredients that compose the detergent are necessary to remove, crush and dispense all dirt out of the dishwasher. Use only detergent specifically made for dishwasher use.

• Page 9: Filling the rinse aid reservoir involves removing the cap, pouring the rinse aid, and closing the cap. For the detergent dispenser, open the flap, add detergent for the main wash cycle, and close the flap. Clean up any spilled rinse aid to avoid excessive foaming during the next wash. Adjust the rinse aid reservoir by turning the indicator dial to a number between 1 and 6 based on drying results. If dishes are not drying properly, increase the rinse aid setting. Reduce the setting if there are sticky stains or a bluish film on glassware. Observe the manufacturer’s recommendations on the detergent packaging. Keep this instruction manual for future reference.
• Page 10: Recommendations for loading the dishwasher include scraping off large amounts of leftover food and softening burnt food remnants. It is not necessary to rinse dishes under running water. For best performance, follow specific loading guidelines. Consider buying utensils identified as dishwasher-proof. Place items such as cups, glasses, and pots facing downwards. Do not remove glass and cutlery immediately after the program ends to prevent damage. Curved items should be loaded at an angle to allow water to run off. Ensure all utensils are stacked securely and cannot tip over. Certain cutlery and dishes are not suitable for washing, including those with wooden or glued parts, plastic items that are not heat resistant, and pewter or copper items. Load hollow items with openings facing downwards to prevent water collection. Avoid overloading the dishwasher for optimal results and energy consumption. Some types of glasses may become dull after multiple washes, and silver or aluminum parts may discolor. Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could fall out of the basket.
• Page 11: Removing the dishes To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower basket, we recommend that you empty the lower basket first and then the upper basket. The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans. Pots, serving bowls, etc., must always be placed top down. Deep pots should be slanted to allow water to flow out. The Bottom Basket features folding spikes so that larger or more pots and pans can be loaded. We suggest that you place large items and the most difficult to clean items into the lower basket. Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery rack separately from each other in the appropriate positions. Do not let any item extend through the bottom. Always load sharp utensils with the sharp point down.
• Page 12: Cutlery rack Basket tips Adjusting the upper basket The height of the upper basket can be easily adjusted to accommodate taller dishes in either the upper or lower basket. To adjust the height of the upper rack, follow these steps: To raise the rack to the upper position, lift rack until both sides are at the same height. The rack will secure into place. To lower the rack, pull on the handles and push the rack down. Folding back the cup shelves To make room for taller items in the dishwasher basket, raise the cup rack upwards. You can then lean the tall glasses against it. Folding back the rack shelves The spikes are used for holding plates and a platter. They can be lowered to make more room for large items.
• Page 13: Cutlery rack tips Programming the dishwasher Wash cycle table The table shows which programmes are best for the levels of food residue and how much detergent is needed. Lift the left basket up, adjust it to lower position. Lift the right basket up, both left and right baskets are flat. Move the right basket from right to left, creating more space for taller glasses. Remove the right basket from the tray. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.
• Page 14: Cleaning and maintenance This program is the test cycle for comparability tests in accordance with EN 50242. External care Draw out the lower and upper basket, load the dishes and push them back. Clean the door seals regularly with a soft damp cloth to remove food deposits. Pour in the detergent and ensure the water supply is turned on to full pressure. Open the door, press the power button, and choose a program to start the cycle. To avoid water penetration, do not use a spray cleaner on the control panel. A wash cycle can only be changed if it has been running for a short time. Check the condition of the filters regularly and clean them if necessary. A forgotten dish can be added any time before the detergent dispenser opens. It is dangerous to open the door mid-cycle, as hot steam may scald you.
• Page 15: Spray arms need to be cleaned regularly to prevent clogging from hard water chemicals. To clean the spray arms, follow specific instructions for removing and reassembling filters. Hold the coarse filter and rotate it anticlockwise to unlock and lift it out of the dishwasher. The fine filter can be detached from the main filter by squeezing the tabs at the top. To remove the upper spray arm, hold the nut in the center and rotate it counter-clockwise. Larger food remnants can be rinsed off the filter under running water or cleaned with a soft brush. Reassemble the filters in reverse order and ensure they are securely replaced to avoid blockages. Never use the dishwasher without filters in place, as improper replacement may reduce performance and damage dishes. Keep the instruction manual for future reference.
• Page 16: Caring for the dishwasher Installation instruction Frost precaution Please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in the winter. Disconnect electrical power before installing dishwasher. The installation of the pipes and electrical equipment should be done by professionals. After every wash, we recommend that you turn off the water supply to the appliance. Please look at the rating label to know the rating voltage and connect the dishwasher to the appropriate power supply. Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket. To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. It is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket.
• Page 17: Water supply and drain connection Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4 cm, ensuring it is not bent or crimped. The height of the drain pipe must be less than 100 cm. The free end of the hose must not be immersed in water to avoid backflow. Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 inch connector and ensure it is fastened tightly. If the water pipes are new or unused for an extended period, let the water run to ensure it is clear. The safety supply hose consists of double walls that block water flow if the supply hose breaks. A hose that attaches to a sink spray can burst if installed on the same water line as the dishwasher. If the sink is higher than 100 cm from the floor, excess water in hoses must be drained into a bowl or suitable container. If you need a drain hose extension, use a similar hose no longer than 4 meters. The waste connection must be at a height less than 100 cm from the bottom of the dishwasher.
• Page 18: Position the appliance in the desired location with the back against the wall and sides along adjacent cabinets or walls. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned to the right or left sides for proper installation. The installation position should be near existing inlet and drain hoses and power cord. Once positioned, the height of the dishwasher can be adjusted via the screwing level of the feet. There should be less than 5 mm between the top of the dishwasher and cabinet, with the outer door aligned to the cabinet. If installed at the corner of the cabinet, maintain a gap of at least 50 mm when the door is opened to adjacent cabinets. Depending on the location of the electrical outlet, a hole may need to be cut in the opposite cabinet side. Keep this instruction manual for future reference.
• Page 19: Furniture door panel’s dimensions and installation Dishwasher installation steps Please refer to the specified installation steps in the installation drawings. The furniture door weight should be 5-7KG. Install the hook on the furniture door panel and put the hook into the slot of the outer door of the dishwasher. Connect the inlet hose to the cold water supply. Level the dishwasher. Adjust the tension of the door springs by using a screwdriver. The dishwasher must be secured in place. The door spring tension is correct when the door remains horizontal in the fully opened position.
• Page 20: Aesthetic door panel dimensions and installation The dishwasher must be level for proper operation and wash performance. Place a spirit level on the door and rack track inside the dishwasher to check that the dishwasher is level. Level the dishwasher by adjusting the three levelling legs individually. When levelling the dishwasher, please pay attention not to let the dishwasher tip over. The maximum adjustment height of the feet is 50 mm. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.
