Page 6: Installation instructions for the appliance include positioning it against the wall and adjacent cabinets. The dishwasher comes with water supply and drain hoses that can be adjusted for installation. Connect the cold-water supply hose to a ¾ connector and ensure it is tightly fastened. Run the water if the pipes are new or unused to clear impurities and prevent blockage. The top of the hose must be less than 750mm. Alternate suitable positions for the drainage hose are indicated in the accompanying image.
Page 7: Drainage hose Insert the drainage hose into a drainpipe with a minimum diameter of 4cm or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. The free end of the hose must be at a height less than 75cm and must not be immersed in water to avoid backflow. Pre-use checklist Dishwasher is level and fixed properly. Inlet valve is open. Inlet hose connections are fully tightened and not leaking. Wires are tightly connected. Power is switched on. Inlet and drain hoses are connected securely. All packing materials and printings are removed from the dishwasher.
Page 8: Operation Before use, add rinse aid and detergent. Rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to roll off the dishes. The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to the detergent dispenser. To fill the dispenser, open the cap and pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator turns completely black. The capacity of the rinse aid container is about 110ml. Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing and spot and streak free drying. Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substance. Fill gauge indicates the level of rinse aid in the dispenser.
Page 9: How to fill To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the “open” (left) arrow and lift it out. Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, do not overfill it. Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with “open” arrow and turning it to the position marked by the “close” (right) arrow. Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, because this could cause excessive foaming. Clean up any rinse aid that is spilled during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excessive foaming during the next wash. Adjusting rinse aid dispenser The default setting of 4 is recommended, but the dial can be adjusted to use less rinse aid. One tablespoon of detergent is recommended in most cases, due to the dishwasher’s efficient function.
Page 10: Loading and usage recommendations Consider buying utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof. To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately after the programme has ended. Load hollow items such as glasses, pans, etc., upside down to avoid water-collection. Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one over the other or cover each other. Avoid overloading for best results and energy consumption. Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc., should face down. Curved items or those with recesses should be loaded at a slant so that water can run off. All utensils are stacked securely and cannot tip over. Cutlery with wooden or mother-of-pearl handles has limited suitability. Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher, as they could easily fall out of the basket.

Page 12: Wash programmes Cycle selection Description of cycle Detergent running time (min) Energy program information (kWh) Water program information (l) Pre-wash for heavily soiled crockery, pots, pans, dishes, etc. Wash (65°C) for heavily soiled loads This is a standard program suitable to clean normally soiled tableware. It is the most efficient programme in terms of its combined energy and water consumption.
Page 13: For lightly soiled loads, such as glasses, crystals and fine china. Pre-wash. Wash (45°C). Rinse. A short wash for lightly soiled loads and quick wash. To turn on: Remove the basket and add detergent. Insert the power plug into the socket. Use the programme button to set the desired programme. Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle. To add an item mid-cycle, press Start/Pause button and open the door slightly.
Page 14: Cleaning & care General maintenance After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly open so that moisture and odours are not trapped inside. 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. Use only a cloth with warm soapy water. To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water with a little vinegar or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers. If the dishwasher will not be used for a long time, it is recommended to run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty, remove the power plug, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly open. If the dishwasher must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. One of the factors that cause odours to form inside the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring. Clean the door with a soft, warm, damp cloth.
Page 15: The filter assembly comprises the main filter, fine filter, and coarse filter. To disassemble, rotate the filter assembly and lift upwards. Remove parts B and C from the filter assembly A. With the filter disassembled, clean gently using a cleaning brush. Follow the above steps in reverse to reassemble.
Page 16: Spray arms To remove the upper spray arm, hold the nut; rotate the arm clockwise to remove it. To remove the lower spray arm, pull out the spray arm upward. Wash the arms in soapy and warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing thoroughly.

Page 18: Affected items are not rust-resistant. Do not wash these in the dishwasher. Rust stains can occur on cutlery. If using dishwasher salt, only run the basic Quick Wash programme. Check and secure the lid if it is loose. Pause the programme and readjust if there is a knocking noise in the wash cabinet. Crockery items may be insecure, causing rattling noises. Dishes may not be clean due to insufficient detergent or incorrect loading. Clean or refit the filter combination if it is unclean or incorrectly fitted. Use a short cycle to clean glassware if there is cloudiness.
