  • 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. Only put items in the machine which are suitable for dishwashing, and take care not to overfill the baskets.
  • 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 as 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, the door will open at the end of a program when the EnergySave option is active. 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 program has ended. In the case of a malfunction, repair should only be performed by an authorised service company. Before repair work, the machine should be disconnected from the mains. To avoid an electric shock, do not unplug the machine with wet hands.
  • Page 7: Installation instructions for the machine emphasize the importance of positioning it in an accessible area for loading and unloading. The machine should not be placed in environments where the temperature drops below 0°C. Warnings regarding the water inlet hose stress the necessity of using the new hose supplied with the machine and running water through it before connecting. It is crucial to ensure that the water inlet and outlet hoses are not squeezed or trapped during positioning. The machine must be leveled and balanced on flat ground to ensure proper door closure. The water inlet tap should provide a pressure between 0.03 MPa and 1 MPa, with a pressure relief valve required if the pressure exceeds 1 MPa. Installation of the decorative panel is necessary to prevent door operation issues and steam leakage. After making connections, it is important to check for water leaks and turn off the water inlet tap after each wash program. Fitting a filter to the water inlet supply is recommended to prevent damage from contamination. Models marked with 25° indicate that the maximum water temperature should be 25 °C.
  • Page 8: Drain hose connection is model dependent. Your machine operates at 220-240 V. If the mains voltage is 110 V, use a 110/220 V transformer. Connect to a grounded outlet protected by a fuse. The earthed plug must connect to a suitable outlet. Connect the water drain hose to the drain hole or sink outlet. The drain hose should be between 50 cm and 110 cm from the floor. An authorized electrician should perform earthing installation if absent. Using a drain hose longer than 4 m may affect washing performance. The appliance plug may include a 13A fuse depending on the target country.

  • Page 13: Recycling Some machine components and packaging consist of recyclable materials. Plastics are marked with the international abbreviations: (>PE<, >PP<, etc.). The cardboard parts consist of recycled paper. 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. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health.
  • Page 14: Fill 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. 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. Remove all packaging material inside the machine. Set the water softener level. For a good washing function, the dishwasher needs soft, less calcareous water. Using softener salt specifically produced for use in dishwashers is essential. Do not use any small grained or powdered type of salts which can easily dissolve. If the softener salt has overflowed and you do not start the machine immediately, run a short washing program to protect your machine against corrosion.
  • Page 15: Test strip procedure involves running water through the tap for one minute and keeping the strip in the water for one second. After shaking the strip, wait for one minute before setting the hardness level of the machine. The default hardness level is set to 3, and it is recommended to use filters for well water or water with a hardness level above 90 dF. The water hardness table provides levels in French dF, British dE, and German dH indicators. Different LED indicators correspond to various hardness levels, indicating wash, dry, and end statuses. The dishwasher includes a water softener that reduces the hardness of the mains water supply. To determine the hardness level of tap water, contact the water company or use a test strip if available. To set the hardness level, turn on the machine and press the Up button for at least three seconds. Release the Up button when all LEDs blink once to view the last setting level. Adjust the hardness level using the Up or Down button and turn off the machine to save the setting.
  • Page 16: Detergent usage should only involve products specifically designed for domestic dishwashers. Keep detergents in cool, dry places out of reach of children. Use detergents according to the manufacturer’s instructions. 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 whitish streaks or bluish layers on glass and dishes. Using little detergent can result in poor cleaning and whitish streaks in hard water. Rinse aid helps to dry dishes without streaks and stains. If rinse aid dosage setting is too low, whitish stains may remain on dishes. To fill the rinse aid compartment, open the cap and fill to the MAX level, being careful not to overfill.
  • Page 17: 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 Up button for at least 5 seconds immediately after the machine is turned on. Release the Up button when all LEDs blink twice. The last setting level is displayed. Press Up or Down button to increase or decrease the hardness level. Turn 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. Brightener dose indicator shows the amount of rinse aid dispensed.
  • Page 18: 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 are not leaning against one another. Avoid overloading the drawers and do not 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 ensure dishes and cutlery are not stacked above each other. Take care not to obstruct the rotation of spray arms and ensure dishes do not prevent the opening of the detergent dispenser.
  • Page 19: Two folding racks allow large items, such as pots and pans, to be placed more easily. Each part can be folded separately. They can either be raised upwards or folded down. To adjust the height, turn the rail stop clips at the ends of the rails to the sides to open them. Pull out and remove the basket, change the position of the wheels, then reinstall the basket to the rail. When the upper basket is in the higher position, large items such as pans can be placed on the lower basket.
  • Page 20: 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.
  • Page 21: Alternative basket loads Important note for test laboratories Lower basket For detailed information required for tests according to EN normatives and a softcopy of the manual, please send the model name and serial number. Top basket Incorrect loads Incorrect loading can cause poor washing and drying performance. Please follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for a good performance result.
  • Page 22: Program table outlines various washing programs available. Jetwash is the fastest program for lightly soiled dishes. Quick 30' is suitable for normally soiled daily dishes with reduced energy and water consumption. Eco program is designed for heavily soiled dishes with effective cleaning by steam. Quick&Clean is a faster program for normally soiled daily dishes. Intensive 65°C is suitable for heavily soiled dishes requiring hygienic washing. Hygiene 70°C is appropriate for lightly soiled dishes and quick washes. Steam Wash is intended for heavily soiled dishes used recently. Each program has specific soil levels and recommended detergent amounts. Program durations and consumption details are provided for each washing option.
  • Page 23: The program duration may change according to the amount of dishes, the water temperature, the ambient temperature and selected additional functions. Values given for programmes other than the eco programme are indicative only. Eco programme is suitable to clean normally soiled tableware and is the most efficient programme in terms of energy and water consumption. Washing tableware in a household dishwasher usually consumes less energy and water 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 by reading the QR code on the energy label. Eco program energy consumption values may differ according to regulations. This table is in line with regulations 2019/2022 and 2017/2022.

  • Page 27: 8 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Clean the filters and spray arms at least once a week. Remove any food waste or foreign objects on the coarse and fine filters and clean them thoroughly with water. 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. Refill the salt compartment when the salt sensor light comes on. Oil and limescale may build up in your dishwasher over time. Wipe the door seals regularly with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated residue or foreign objects. To remove and clean the filter combination, turn it counter clockwise and lift it upwards. Never use your dishwasher without a filter. Clean filters are necessary for proper running of the machine.
  • Page 28: Spray arms should be checked for clogging and cleaned if necessary. To remove the upper spray arm, turn the nut clockwise and pull it downwards. Ensure the nut is properly tightened when reattaching the upper spray arm. Large food residues or foreign objects can block the waste water pump. If the waste water pump is blocked, rinsing water will accumulate above the filter. Warning: Risk of cuts when cleaning the waste water pump. Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning. Remove baskets and filters before cleaning the waste water pump. Scoop out water and check for foreign objects in the area. Reinstall filters and baskets after cleaning.
