• Page 7: Control panel On/off button Program button Programme indicators Display Option button Start button Delay button Salt indicator indicates when the salt container needs refilling. Rinse aid indicator indicates when the rinse aid dispenser needs refilling.
• Page 8: Programmes The order of the programmes in the table may not reflect their sequence on the control panel. Crockery, cutlery, pots, pans can be washed using various programmes. Dishwashing temperatures range from 45 °C to 70 °C depending on the programme. Options such as ExtraPower, GlassCare, ExtraHygiene, and AirDry are available for different programmes. Prewash is included in several programmes for better cleaning results. Intermediate rinse and final rinse phases are part of the dishwashing process. Different soil levels can be selected for optimal cleaning. The appliance interior requires regular cleaning for maintenance. The programmes cater to different load types and soil levels.
• Page 9: Programme dishwasher degree of programme phases This programme offers the most efficient use of water and energy consumption for crockery and cutlery with normal soil. The appliance senses the degree of soil and the quantity of items in the baskets. This programme is designed to clean the inside of the appliance effectively and efficiently. It removes limescale and grease buildup. With this programme, you can quickly rinse off food remains from dishes and prevent odours forming in the appliance. The pressure and the temperature of the water, the variations of the mains supply, the options, the quantity of dishes and the degree of soil can change the values. The values for programmes other than ECO are indicative only. To receive the necessary information for conducting performance tests, send an email with the product number code from the rating plate. For any other questions regarding your dishwasher, refer to the service book provided with your appliance.
• Page 10: Options prevent rapid changes in the dishwashing temperature of the selected programme and reduces it to 45 °C. Desired options must be activated every time before you start a programme. It is not possible to activate or deactivate options while a programme is running. ExtraPower improves the dishwashing results of the selected programme by increasing the wash temperature and duration. Not all options are compatible with each other, and the appliance automatically deactivates non-compatible options. ExtraHygiene provides better cleaning results by keeping the temperature between 65 and 70 °C for at least 10 minutes during the last rinsing phase. Activating options can affect water and energy consumption as well as programme duration. The appliance stores the saved settings, eliminating the need to configure it before every cycle. In programme selection mode, it is possible to set a programme and enter user mode. Settings available in user mode include the level of water softener, the level of rinse aid, and activation or deactivation of the AirDry.
• Page 11: After activation, the appliance is in programme selection mode by default. The water softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales. The water softener removes minerals from the water supply, which would have a negative effect on the washing results and on the appliance. Set the right level of the water softener to assure good washing results. The higher the content of these minerals, the harder your water is. The higher the level of water softener, the higher the consumption and the longer the duration. Regardless of the type of detergent used, set the proper water hardness level to keep the salt refill indicator active. Multi-tabs containing salt are not effective enough to soften hard water. Your local water authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.
• Page 12: AirDry improves the drying results with less energy consumption. The appliance door opens automatically during the drying phase and remains ajar. The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes without streaks and stains. It is automatically released during the hot rinse phase. You can set the released quantity of rinse aid between level 1 (minimum quantity) and level 6 (maximum quantity). When the rinse aid chamber is empty, the rinse aid indicator is on, notifying to refill rinse aid. For the best drying performance, always use rinse aid and keep the rinse aid indicator active. Do not try to close the appliance door within 2 minutes after automatic opening. This can cause damage to the appliance. If children have access to the appliance, we advise to deactivate AirDry. The automatic opening of the door may pose a danger. To deactivate the rinse aid dispenser and indicator, set the level of rinse aid to 0. Make sure the appliance is in user mode before making adjustments. Press the on/off button to confirm the setting after making changes.
• Page 13: The remaining indicators are off. The display shows the current setting. Press to change the setting. Press the on/off button to confirm the setting. AirDry is deactivated. AirDry is activated. Before first use, make sure that the current level of the water softener agrees with the hardness of the water supply. Fill the salt container. Fill the rinse aid dispenser. Use rough salt designed for dishwashers only.
• Page 14: How to fill the rinse aid Only use rinse aid designed specifically for dishwashers. Fill the dispenser until the rinse aid reaches the marking MAX. Remove the spilled rinse aid with an absorbent cloth to prevent excessive foam formation. Close the lid and ensure it locks into position. Fill the rinse aid dispenser when the indicator is clear. The compartment is for rinse aid only; do not fill it with detergent. Daily use Open the water tap. Press the on/off button to activate the appliance. Ensure items do not stick out of the basket frame to avoid damage. The ComfortLift mechanism allows lifting the lower rack for easy loading and unloading. Load the baskets and add the detergent. Set and start a programme suitable for the type of load. Do not sit on the rack or put excessive pressure on the locked basket. Do not exceed the max load capacity of 18 kg.
• Page 15: The basket is automatically locked on the upper level. Put the detergent (gel, powder or tablets) in the compartment (B). If the programme has a prewash phase, put a small quantity of detergent on the inner part of the appliance door. Carefully place items in the basket or remove them. Close the lid. Make sure that the lid locks into position. For information about the detergent dosage, refer to the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging of the product. Once the basket is unlocked, push the rack down. If there is a full load of plates, slightly push the basket down. Press the on/off button to activate the appliance. Only use detergent specifically designed for dishwashers.
• Page 16: Press repeatedly until the display shows the desired delay time (from 1 to 24 hours). Press to begin the countdown. The remaining time counts down in hours. Make sure that there is detergent in the detergent dispenser before you start a new programme. Opening the door while a programme is running stops the appliance. When the programme is complete, the Auto Off function switches the appliance off automatically. Close the water tap. The Auto Off function decreases energy consumption by deactivating the appliance when it is not operating. Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. Washing dishes in the dishwasher usually consumes less water and energy than washing dishes by hand.
• Page 17: Make sure that items in the baskets do not touch or cover each other. Only then can the water completely reach and wash the dishes. You can use dishwasher detergent, rinse aid and salt separately or you can use the multi-tablets. Select a programme according to the type of load and the degree of soil. Always use the correct quantity of rinse aid. Insufficient dosage of rinse aid decreases the drying results. Make sure that the water softener level is correct. If the level is too high, the increased quantity of salt in the water might result in rust on cutlery. Before you start to use separately detergent, salt and rinse aid, complete the following steps. Refill the salt container whenever necessary. Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent designed for dishwasher. Other products can cause damage to the appliance. In areas with hard and very hard water, we recommend using basic dishwasher detergent, rinse aid and salt separately for optimal cleaning and drying results. Always use the whole space of the baskets. Use the appliance to wash dishwasher-safe items only.
• Page 18: Make sure that the spray arms can move freely before you start a programme. The programme is suitable to the type of load and the degree of soil. The correct quantity of detergent is used. Let the tableware cool down before you remove it from the appliance. First remove items from the lower basket, then from the upper basket. The filters are clean and correctly installed. The cap of the salt container is tight. Use the automatic cleaning programme for optimal cleaning results. Before maintenance, deactivate the appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the main socket. Clean the appliance with a moist soft cloth.
• Page 19: Make sure that there are no residues of food or soil in or around the edge of the sump. Put back in place the flat filter (A). Make sure that it is correctly positioned under the 2 guides. Turn the filter (B) counterclockwise and remove it. Reassemble the filters (B) and (C). Put back the filter (B) in the flat filter (A). Turn it clockwise until it locks. Remove the filter (C) out of filter (B). Remove the flat filter (A). Wash the filters. An incorrect position of the filters can cause bad washing results and damage to the appliance.
• Page 20: Cleaning the lower spray arm is recommended to prevent soil from clogging the holes. Cleaning the upper spray arm is also recommended to prevent soil from clogging the holes. Clogged holes can cause unsatisfactory washing results. To remove the lower spray arm, pull it upwards. To detach the spray arm from the basket, press the spray arm upwards and simultaneously turn it clockwise. Wash the spray arm under running water. Use a thin pointed tool, such as a toothpick, to remove particles of soil from the holes. To install the spray arm back, press it downwards. To install the spray arm back, press it upwards and simultaneously turn it counterclockwise until it locks into place.
• Page 21: Move the upper basket to the lowest level to reach the spray arm more easily. To detach the spray arm from the delivery tube, turn the mounting element counterclockwise and pull the spray arm downwards. Wash the spray arm under running water. Use a thin pointed tool to remove particles of soil from the holes. We recommend cleaning the ceiling spray arm regularly to prevent soil from clogging the holes. The ceiling spray arm is placed on the ceiling of the appliance. To install the spray arm back, insert the mounting element in the spray arm and fix it in the delivery tube by turning it clockwise. Make sure that the mounting element locks into place. Install the cutlery drawer on the sliding rails and block the stoppers. Release the stoppers on the sides of the sliding rails of the cutlery drawer and pull the drawer out.
• Page 22: Troubleshooting Improper repair of the appliance may pose a danger to the safety of the user. Any repairs must be performed by qualified personnel. Refer to the below table for information on possible problems. With some problems, the display shows an alarm code. The majority of problems that may occur can be solved without the need for service. Make sure that the mains plug is connected to the mains socket. Make sure that the appliance door is closed. The appliance does not fill with water. The display shows i10 or i11. Make sure that the water tap is open. The appliance does not drain the water. The display shows i20. Make sure that the sink spigot is not clogged.
• Page 23: Problem and alarm code Possible cause and solution The displayed programme duration is different than the duration in the consumption values table. The pressure and the temperature of the water, the variations of the mains supply, the options, the quantity of dishes and the degree of soil can change the programme duration. The remaining time in the display increases and skips nearly to the end of the programme duration. This is not a defect. The appliance is working correctly. Small leak from the appliance door. The appliance is not levelled. Loosen or tighten the adjustable feet. The appliance door is difficult to close. Parts of the tableware are protruding from the baskets. The appliance door opens during the wash cycle. The AirDry function is activated. You can deactivate the function. Rattling or knocking sounds from the inside of the appliance. The tableware is not properly arranged in the baskets. The appliance trips the circuit-beaker. The amperage is insufficient to supply simultaneously all the appliances in use. The appliance is switched on but does not operate. Power supply is out of the operating range. The appliance switches off during operation. Complete power outage. We do not recommend using the appliance until the problem has been completely fixed. Contact an Authorised Service Centre for alarm codes not described in the table.
• Page 24: The dishwashing and drying results are not satisfactory. Poor washing results may be due to improper loading or the need for a more intensive washing program. Activate the ExtraPower option to improve washing results. Clean spray arm jets and filter for better performance. Poor drying results can occur if tableware is left too long inside the closed appliance. Activate the AirDry function to enhance drying performance. Ensure there is sufficient rinse aid and adjust the dosage if necessary. The quality of the rinse aid can affect results; always use rinse aid, even with multi-tablets. Adjust rinse aid dosage if there are whitish streaks or bluish layers on glasses and dishes. Unusual foam during washing may indicate the use of inappropriate detergent.
• Page 25: Odours inside the appliance may be caused by the need for internal cleaning or using a descaler. Limescale deposits can occur due to low salt levels, a loose salt container cap, or hard tap water. It is important to use salt and set regeneration of the water softener even with multi-functional tablets. Dull, discoloured, or chipped tableware may result from washing non-dishwasher-safe items or improper loading. Delicate items should be placed in the upper basket, and the GlassCare option should be activated for glassware. Refer to sections on Before first use, Daily use, or Hints and tips for additional causes of issues. The appliance dimensions are 598 mm width, 850 mm height, and 603 mm depth.
