- Page 4: Putting your safety first General safety warnings All electrical connections must match the values on the rating plate. Read these instructions carefully before using your appliance and keep this manual for future reference. Ensure the machine does not stand on the electrical supply cable. Do not operate the machine if it appears damaged or if the packaging has been opened. Never use an extension cord or a multiple socket connection. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above, and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities if they have been given supervision or instruction. This machine is for domestic use only; commercial use will void the guarantee. Only use detergents and rinse-aids produced specifically for dishwashers. Your machine must only be installed by an authorised service agent.
- Page 5: Putting your safety first Only put items in the machine which are suitable for dishwashing, and take care not to overfill the baskets. Material unsuitable for domestic waste must be disposed of at recycling centres. Do not open the door while the machine is in operation, hot water may spill out. The machine door should not be left open as it may cause accidents. Packaging materials protect your machine from damage that may occur during transportation. The packaging materials are environmentally friendly as they are recyclable. For effective drying, keep the door open for 30 minutes after a programme has ended. We declare that our products meet the applicable European Directives, Decisions and Regulations. The symbol on the product indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste.
- Page 6: Installation When positioning the machine, place it in an area where dishes can be easily loaded and unloaded. Do not put the machine in an area where the ambient temperature falls below 0°C. Read all warnings located on the packaging before removing the packaging and positioning the machine. Use the new water inlet hose supplied with your machine, do not use an old machine’s hose. Run water through the new hose before connecting. 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. Adjust the feet so the machine is level and balanced. After the connections are made, turn the tap on fully and check for water leaks at both the tap end and the dishwasher end. It is not recommended to fit the dishwasher on any kind of carpet or carpet tiles. We recommend fitting a filter to your water inlet supply in order to prevent damage to your machine due to contamination.
- Page 7: Installation Items will not wash properly if a drain hose longer than 4m is used. Electrical connection Your machine is set to operate at 220-240 V. If the mains voltage supply to your machine is 110V, connect a transformer of 110/220V and 3000W between the electrical connection and the appliance. Connect the product to a grounded outlet protected by a fuse complying with the values in the technical specifications table. The earthed plug of the machine must be connected to an earthed outlet supplied by suitable voltage and current. In the absence of earthing installation, an authorised electrician should carry out an earthing installation. In the case of use without earthing installed, we will not be responsible for any loss of use that may occur. The plug on this appliance will incorporate a 13A fuse.

- Page 9: Before using your appliance Technical specification Only add water to the salt compartment before first use. Capacity: 10 place settings Use softener salt specifically produced for use in dishwashers. When you start your dishwasher, the salt compartment is filled with water. If the softener salt has overflowed and you do not start the machine immediately, run a short washing programme to protect your machine against corrosion. To add softener salt, open the salt compartment cap by turning it counterclockwise. Before first use, fill the compartment with 1Kg salt. For a good washing function, the dishwasher needs soft, i.e., less calcareous water. The dishwasher can only use special dishwasher salt to soften the water.
- Page 10: Before using your appliance, run water through the tap for 1 minute. Keep the test strip in the water for 1 second and wait for 1 minute. Set the hardness level of your machine. The default hardness level is set to 3. If the water is well water or has a hardness level above 90 dF, it is recommended to use filter and refinement devices. The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener that reduces the hardness in the mains water supply. To find out the hardness level of your tap water, contact your water company or use the supplied test strip. To change the salt level, open the door of the machine and the machine will display the last setting. Set the level by pressing the Programme button and switch off the machine to save the setting. Turn on the machine and press the Programme button as soon as it is turned on.
- Page 11: Before using your appliance, only use detergents specifically designed for domestic dishwashers. Combined detergents should be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions and should not be put into the interior section or the cutlery basket. It is recommended to use powder detergents instead of combined detergents in short programmes. Keep your detergents in cool, dry places out of reach of children. The amount of detergent needed depends on the cycle, load size, and soil level of dishes. Do not fill detergent into the compartment more than required to avoid whitish streaks or bluish layers on glass and dishes. Using too much detergent may cause machine damage, while using too little can result in poor cleaning. When using combined detergents, ensure that water hardness and rinse-aid settings are set to the correct level. Rinse-aid helps to dry the dishes without streaks and stains and is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses. The rinse-aid dispenser should be refilled just before the start of each programme.
- Page 12: Before using your appliance To fill the rinse-aid compartment, open the rinse-aid compartment cap. Fill the compartment with rinse-aid to the MAX level and then close the cap. Be careful not to overfill the rinse-aid compartment and wipe up any spills. If excessive amounts over spill it is advisable to immediately run the Prewash cycle. In order to change the rinse-aid level, follow the below steps before turning on the machine: Open the door of the machine. Turn on the machine, and press the Programme button as soon as the machine is turned on. Hold down the Programme button until all LED’s blink twice. Rinse-aid setting follows water hardness setting. The machine will display the last setting. Change the level by pressing the programme button. Switch 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.
- Page 13: Loading your dishwasher properly is essential for optimal performance. For best results, follow the loading guidelines provided by the manufacturer. Loading the dishwasher to its 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 leaned against the basket edge. All containers should be placed with the opening facing downwards to prevent water collection. Use the cutlery grid in the cutlery basket for the best results. Large pots, pans, and very dirty items should be placed in the lower rack. Dishes and cutlery should not be stacked on top of each other. Ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely and that the detergent dispenser can open after loading.
- Page 14: Loading your dishwasher involves understanding basket adjustments. The upper basket features height adjustable mug shelves. The height adjustable racks allow for the placement of glasses and cups. Racks can be adjusted to two different heights. To adjust the height, turn the rail stop clips to open them, then remove the basket. Change the position of the wheels before reinstalling the basket. Ensure to close the rail stop clips after adjusting. When the upper basket is higher, larger items can fit in the lower basket. Cutlery and utensils can be placed horizontally on the racks.
- Page 15: Loading your dishwasher Incorrect loading can cause poor washing and drying performance. Please follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for good performance results. Unsuitable items for dishwashing include cigarette ash, candle leftovers, polish, paint, chemical substances, and iron-alloy materials. Forks, spoons, and knives with wooden, bone, ivory, or nacre coated handles should not be washed. Temperature-sensitive plastics, copper or tin coated containers are unsuitable for dishwashing. Aluminium and silver objects should not be placed in the dishwasher. Some delicate glasses, ornamental printed porcelains, and lead crystal glasses are not suitable for dishwashing. Absorbent items such as sponges or kitchen rugs should not be washed. In future, purchase dishwasher-proof kitchenware.
- Page 16: Programme table Programme name and icon Eco programme is suitable for normally soiled daily use dishes with reduced energy and water consumption. Intensive 65°C is suitable for heavily soiled dishes. Super 50’ is suitable for normally soiled daily dishes with a faster programme. Quick 30’ is suitable for lightly soiled dishes and quick wash. Prewash is suitable to rinse dishes that you plan to wash later. The programme duration may change according to the amount of dishes, water temperature, ambient temperature, and selected additional functions. To assist drying, it is recommended to slightly open the door after a cycle is complete. Values for programmes other than the eco programme are indicative only. 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 programmes, as they do not include drying.

- Page 19: Cleaning & 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. To activate or deactivate save power mode, follow specific steps involving the door and buttons. When Save Power Mode is activated, interior lights will turn off after 4 minutes, and the machine will turn off after 15 minutes of inactivity. Rinse the filter with lots of water until it is free of residue and reassemble the filters. Make sure that the water softening setting is done correctly to prevent limescale accumulation. Refill the salt compartment when the salt sensor light comes on. Select a program that runs at high temperature and run the dishwasher empty to clean it. Never use your dishwasher without a filter, as incorrect fitting will reduce washing effectiveness. Wipe the door seals regularly with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated residue or foreign objects.
- Page 20: Cleaning & Maintenance Make sure that the spray holes are not clogged and that no food waste or foreign objects are stuck to the spray arms. If there is any clogging, remove the spray arms and clean them under water. To remove the upper spray arm, undo the nut holding it in position by turning it clockwise and pulling it downwards. Make sure that the nut is properly tightened when refitting the upper spray arm. To remove the lower spray arm, pull the arm upwards from the centre. Large food residues or foreign objects which were not captured by the filters may block the waste water pump. 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 the baskets and remove the filters. Scoop out water, use a sponge if required.
- Page 21: Troubleshooting Your dishwasher is not plugged in. Plug your dishwasher in and switch it on by pressing the On/Off button. The programme does not start. Check the water inlet tap and ensure the dishwasher door is closed. Water remains inside the machine. Clean the filters and check the drain hose for clogs. Shaking and hitting noises are heard during a wash operation. Move or remove items blocking the spray arm and do not overload baskets. Partial food wastes remain on the dishes. Select the most appropriate programme using the information in the programme table. Whitish stains remain on dishes. Increase rinse-aid dosage and check the salt compartment cap is closed properly. Dishes do not dry. Select a programme with a drying option and adjust the water hardness level. Rust stains form on the dishes. Check that the salt compartment cap is closed properly and avoid spilling salt. Detergent remains in the detergent compartment. Ensure the detergent compartment is dry before adding detergent.
