• Page 7: Pull the plug to disconnect the machine from the mains, never pull on the cord.
• Page 8: 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. Run water through the new hose before connecting it. Connect the hose directly to the water inlet tap, ensuring the pressure is between 0.03 MPa and 1 MPa. Adjust the machine's feet to ensure it is level and balanced on flat ground. Check for water leaks after making connections and turn off the water inlet tap after use. Fitting a filter to the water inlet supply is recommended to prevent damage from contamination. Cold water is preferred for all models, with a maximum hot water temperature of 60 °C for some models.
• Page 9: Drain hose connection is model depending. Your machine operates at 220-240 V. If the mains voltage supply is 110 V, connect a transformer of 110/220 V and 3000 W. Connect the product to a grounded outlet protected by a fuse. The earthed plug must be connected 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 connection should be between 50 cm and 110 cm from the floor. Items will not wash properly if a drain hose longer than 4 m is used. An authorized electrician should carry out an earthing installation. The plug may incorporate a 13A fuse depending on the target country.
• Page 10: Fitting the machine undercounter requires sufficient space and suitable wiring-plumbing. The countertop must be stable to prevent imbalance.

• Page 13: Fill the salt compartment by turning the cap counterclockwise. At first use, fill the compartment with 1 kg salt and water until it is almost overflowing. After every 20-30 cycles, add salt into your machine until it fills up (approx. 1 kg). Make sure the electricity and water supply specifications match the installation instructions. Remove all packaging material inside the machine. Set the water softener level. Fill the rinse aid compartment. The dishwasher needs soft water to avoid white lime residues on dishes. Use softener salt specifically produced for use in dishwashers. Do not use any small grained or powdered type of salts which can easily dissolve.
• Page 14: Test strip instructions include 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 provides various levels of hardness measured in British dE, French dF, German dH, and PPM. 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. Setting the machine involves turning the knob to the off position and holding the Start/Pause button while adjusting the knob. The machine will display the last setting, and the level can be adjusted using the + and - buttons. Only use detergents specifically designed for domestic dishwashers.
• Page 15: Detergents should be stored in cool, dry places out of reach of children. Use powder detergents instead of combined detergents in short programs. Ensure water hardness and rinse aid settings are correct when stopping the use of combined detergents. The amount of detergent needed depends on the cycle, load size, and soil level of dishes. Do not overfill the detergent compartment to avoid streaks or corrosion on glass and dishes. Rinse aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses. If rinse aid dosage is set too low, dishes may not dry properly. To fill the rinse aid compartment, open the cap and fill to the MAX level. Follow specific steps to change the rinse aid level before turning on the machine. Combined detergents should be used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Page 16: If the dishes are not drying properly or are spotted, increase the level. If blue stains form on your dishes, decrease the level. Rinse-aid not dispensed is indicated by r1 on the display. 1 dose is dispensed is indicated by r2 on the display. 2 doses are dispensed is indicated by r3 on the display. 3 doses are dispensed is indicated by r4 on the display. 4 doses are dispensed is indicated by r5 on the display.
• Page 17: Height adjustable racks enable glasses and cups to be placed on or under the racks. The racks can be adjusted to two different heights. Cutlery and utensils can also be placed on the racks horizontally. Loading the dishwasher up to the manufacturer's indicated capacity contributes to energy and water savings. Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items is not recommended as it leads to increased water and energy consumption. Place cups, glasses, and pots into the dishwasher with the opening facing downwards to prevent water collection. Use the cutlery grid in the cutlery basket for best results. Place large and very dirty items in the lower rack. Dishes and cutlery should not be placed above each other. Take care not to obstruct the rotation of spray arms.
• Page 18: Upper basket knife holder allows for storage of kitchen utensils like bread knives and ladles. The knife holder is easy to wash. To remove the upper basket, turn the rail stop clips to the sides and pull out the basket. Change the position of the wheels before reinstalling the basket. Ensure the rail stop clips are closed after reinstalling. When the upper basket is higher, larger items can be placed on the lower basket. The upper basket knife rack can be removed by pulling it upwards when not in use.
• 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.

Please follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for a good performance result.
• Page 20: Program table outlines various washing programs with their durations and descriptions. Quick wash program is for lightly soiled dishes. Eco program is a standard option for daily used dishes that are not heavily soiled. A faster program is available for daily used dishes that are not heavily soiled. Intensive program is designed for heavily soiled dishes. Hygiene program is for heavily soiled dishes requiring hygienic washing. Program duration may change based on the amount of dishes, tap water, ambient temperature, and selected additional functions. Only use powder detergent in short programs. Short programs do not include a drying step. To assist drying, it is recommended to partially open the door after the program has finished.
• Page 21: The control panel allows for program selection and activation of extra features. Simultaneously pressing the + and - buttons activates or deactivates the Child Lock. The Program Selection Knob must be in the 'Off' position for the machine to operate. The Salt Lack Warning Indicator illuminates when dishwasher salt needs filling. Pressing the Start/Pause button initiates the selected program. The Rinse Aid Lack Warning Indicator indicates when rinse aid needs filling. The control panel lights indicate the status of the washing program in operation. Programs can be delayed for 1 hour up to 19 hours using the Remaining Time Indicator. Pressing the Half Load button shortens the program duration and reduces consumption. Extra features remain active on the next selected program unless canceled.
• Page 22: Changing a program can be done while in operation by pressing the Start/Pause button. The End light will illuminate after a program is cancelled. To switch the machine off, select the desired program using the Program Selection button after the program stops. Turn the Program Selection Knob to the 'Off' position to switch the machine off. Disconnect the plug and turn off the water tap after switching off the machine. Do not open the door before the program is complete, as the new program will resume the course of the old program. Leave the door slightly open at the end of a wash program to speed up the drying process. If the door is opened or power is cut off during a wash program, it will continue when the door is closed or power returns. To cancel a program while in operation, press and hold the Start/Pause button for 3 seconds. While cancelling, the Dry light will illuminate and the water discharge process will start and continue for 30 seconds.
• Page 23: 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. Cleaning your dishwasher is important to maintain the machine’s service life. Oil and limescale may build up in your dishwasher over time. Never use your dishwasher without a filter. Clean filters are necessary for proper running of the machine. To extend the life of your dishwasher, clean the appliance regularly each month. Wipe the door seals regularly with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated residue or foreign objects. Make sure that the spray holes are not clogged and that no food waste or foreign object is stuck to the spray arms. Clean the filters and spray arms at least once a week. If any food waste remains or foreign objects on the coarse and fine filters, remove them and clean them thoroughly with water.
• Page 24: Drain pump Large food residues or foreign objects 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 25: 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. A machine stopping during washing could indicate a water inlet failure. Shaking and hitting noises during operation may be caused by the spray arm hitting dishes. Dishes should be loaded correctly to avoid blocking the spray arm and ensure proper cleaning. Using the correct amount of detergent is essential for effective cleaning.
• Page 26: Fault possible cause troubleshooting Use the correct amount of detergent, as instructed in the program table. Not enough detergent used. Increase rinse aid and/or water softener setting. Whitish stains remain on dishes. High water hardness level. Increase water softener level and add salt. Salt compartment cap not closed properly. Check that the salt compartment cap is closed properly. Dishes do not dry. Select a program with a drying option.
• Page 27: Automatic fault warnings and what to do Possible fault and what to do for water inlet system failure Make sure the water inlet tap is open and water is flowing. Separate the inlet hose from the tap and clean the filter of the hose. Contact for service if the error continues. Inability to discharge water Water discharge hose and filters may be clogged. Cancel the program. Faulty heater Unplug the machine and close the tap. The installation and repairing procedures should always be carried out by the Authorised Service Agent to avoid possible risks.
