Summary of Contents

• Page 2: Installation Product description First time use Advice and tips Loading the racks Selecting a cycle and options Cycle table Options and settings Settings menu Care and maintenance Troubleshooting After-sales service
• Page 3: The control panel of this dishwasher activates by pushing the ON/OFF button. For energy saving, the control panel deactivates automatically after 10 minutes if no cycle has started. Product description includes various components such as the upper rack, cutlery rack, foldable flaps, and sprayer arms. The control panel features an ON-OFF button, display indicators, and buttons for selecting cycles. There are six buttons for direct access to popular cycles and an EXTRA CYCLES button for additional options. The INFO button provides information for the selected cycle. The display includes indicators for start delay, eco cycle, multizone options, and alerts for closed water tap and low salt. Buttons for navigating options/settings include previous, set, and next. The START button initiates the selected cycle. The multizone feature allows for selective cleaning of the upper and lower racks.
• Page 4: First time use After connecting the appliance to the power supply for the first time, the display will guide you to set up the appliance for first use. Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can get into the container during the wash program. Only use salt that has been specifically designed for dishwashers. The language selection allows you to choose your preferred language. Whenever you need to add salt, it is mandatory to complete the procedure before the beginning of the washing cycle. The water hardness is by default set to level 3. The brightness level is by default set to level 5. To allow the water softener to work effectively, the water hardness setting must be based on the actual water hardness in your house. It is important to choose what type of detergent will be used (tablet/capsule or gel/powder). When water hardness is set, it is required to fill the water softener with water and special regeneration salt.
• Page 5: Open the dispenser by pressing and pulling up the tab on the lid. Carefully introduce the rinse aid as far as the maximum reference notch of the filling space. Before normal use of the appliance, it is recommended to run the intensive cycle first to calibrate the appliance. Press the lid down until you hear a click to close it. The rinse aid dosage can be adjusted to the detergent used. Check the water tap is open and confirm by pressing the SET button. Only use detergent which has been specifically designed for dishwashers. Good washing results depend on the correct amount of detergent being used. The amount can be adjusted to the soil level. If using all-in-one detergents, we recommend adding salt, especially if the water is hard or very hard.
• Page 6: Advice and tips for loading crockery include removing food residues and emptying glasses before loading. Wooden crockery, delicate decorated glasses, and parts in synthetic material are unsuitable for the dishwasher. Crockery soiled with ash, wax, or lubricating grease should not be loaded. Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower basket for better washing performance. Only use glasses and porcelain guaranteed as dishwasher safe. To maintain hygiene, run a high temperature program at least once a month. The third rack is designed to house cutlery, improving washing and drying performance. Arrange cutlery with blades facing downwards for safety. The cutlery basket features sliding side trays for optimal space usage. Ensure sprayer arms can rotate freely after loading the appliance.
• Page 7: Upper rack is designed for delicate and light dishes like glasses, cups, and low salad bowls. The height of the upper rack can be adjusted to accommodate bulky crockery or create more space. Tip-up supports in the upper rack can be used for arranging tea/dessert saucers or loading bowls. To adjust the upper rack, hold the sides and lift it to the desired position without pressing the levers. The side foldable flaps can be positioned at three different heights for optimal crockery arrangement. It is recommended not to adjust the height of the rack when it is loaded. The lower rack is suitable for pots, lids, plates, and cutlery, with large items placed at the sides. Dynamic Clean feature uses special water jets for intensive washing of heavily soiled items in the lower rack. The lower rack includes a Dynamic Clean pull-out support for upright positioning of frying and baking pans. Glass care accessory allows safe storage and optimized positioning of different types of stem glasses in the lower rack.
• Page 8: Selecting a cycle and options can be found in the Cycle Table. Eco cycle is selected by default. You can change the default cycle in the Settings Menu. If a wrong program was selected, it is possible to change it if it has only just begun. Open the door, press and hold the ON/OFF button to switch off the machine. Select a cycle by pressing one of six direct access buttons or by pressing the Extra Cycles button repeatedly. To pause the cycle and add extra items, open the door and place the crockery inside the dishwasher. Press the START button and close the door within 4 seconds to resume the cycle. If the door is opened during the wash cycle or there is a power cut, the cycle stops. To resume, press the START button and close the door within 4 seconds. After the cycle finishes, there is an acoustic signal, and the display shows additional information. Indicators show the name of the selected cycle, energy consumption, and water consumption. It is recommended to degrease and clean the machine every 50 cycles using WPRO cleaner. If needed, refill the salt reservoir or rinse aid dispenser before starting the next cycle. When the cycle and option selection is complete, press the START button and close the door within 4 seconds to start the chosen cycle.

To set an option, press the SET button. The SET OPTIONS message will appear, allowing navigation through the option list. Dynamic Clean provides a more intensive wash in the lower rack area and optimizes performance for combined detergents in tablet form. The boost option reduces cycle duration by 25%-67% while maintaining washing and drying quality. The start delay feature allows the cycle to begin after a selected period. A LED light on the floor indicates that the dishwasher is in operation. Multizone allows washing in one rack only if there are fewer dishes. The tub light feature activates LEDs when the door is opened or closed. By default, the Multizone option is not active, and all racks are lit. These features can be deactivated in the settings menu.

• Page 12: Care and maintenance instructions emphasize the importance of unplugging the appliance during cleaning and maintenance. Cleaning the dishwasher involves using a damp cloth with water and vinegar for the interior and a non-abrasive cloth for the exterior. To prevent unpleasant odors, keep the door ajar to avoid moisture buildup and clean seals around the door regularly. Regularly check the water supply hose for brittleness and cracks, replacing it if necessary. After cleaning filters, ensure the filter assembly is correctly reinstalled for efficient operation. Food residue can block spray arms, so they should be checked and cleaned with a non-metallic brush. If the water stop function is triggered, the hose must be replaced. New or unused water hoses should be flushed to clear impurities before connections are made. Regular cleaning of the filter assembly is essential to prevent clogging and ensure proper wastewater flow. The filter assembly consists of three filters that need to be kept clean for optimal washing results.
