Loading The Salt Into The Softener

Only use salt specifically designed for dishwashers use!

Every other type of salt not specifically designed for dishwasher use,

especially table salt, will damage the water softener. In case of damages

caused by the use of unsuitable salt the manufacturer does not give any

warranty nor is liable for any damages caused.

Only fill with salt before running a cycle.

This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been

spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time,

which may cause corrosion.

WARNING

Always use salt intended for dishwasher use.

The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as

explained in the following:

Please check the section 1 Water Softener of PART : Special Version,

If you need to set the water softener .

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

External Care

The door and the door seal Clean the door seals regularly with a soft damp cloth to remove food deposits.

When the dishwasher is being loaded, food and drink residues may drip onto the

sides of the dishwasher door. These surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not

accessed by water from the spray arms. Any deposits should be wiped off before the

door is closed.

The control panel If cleaning is required, the control panel should be wiped with a soft damp cloth only.

To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components,

do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.

Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because

they may scratch the finish. Some paper towels may also scratch or leave

marks on the surface.

Caring For The Dishwasher

Frost precaution

Please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in winter. Every time after

washing cycles, please operate as follows:

1. Cut off the electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source.

2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.

3. Drain the water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to gather the water)

4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.

5. Remove the filter at the bottom of the tub and use a sponge to soak up water in

the sump.

After every wash After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly

open so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside.

Remove the plug Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket.

No solvents or abrasive cleaning To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or

abrasive cleaning products. Only use a cloth with warm soapy water.

To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with

water an a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.

When not in use for a longtime It is recommend that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove

the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the

appliance slightly open. This will help the door seals to last longer and prevent odors

from forming within the appliance.

Moving the appliance If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely

necessary, it can be positioned on its back.

Seals One of the factors that cause odours to form in the dishwasher is food that remains

trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from

occurring.

17

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION

Ensure the voltage and frequency of the power being corresponds to those on the

rating plate. Only insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthed properly. If

the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for

the plug, replace the socket, rather than using a adaptors or the like as they could

cause overheating and burns.

the appliance.

safety supply hose

ordinary supply hose

About the safety supply hose The safety supply hose consists of the double walls. The hose's system guarantees its

intervention by blocking the flow of water in case of the supply hose breaking and

when the air space between the supply hose itself and the outer corrugated hose is

full of water.

How to connect the safety supply hose 1. Pull The safety supply hoses completely out from storage compartment located at

rear of dishwasher.

2. Tighter the screws of the safety supply hose to the faucet with thread 3/4inch.

3. Turn water fully on before starting the dishwasher.

WARNING

Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items increases water and energy consumption

and is not recommended.

Washing tableware in a household dishwasher usually consumes less energy

and water in the use phase than hand dishwashing when the household

dishwasher is used according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Water Softener The water softener must be set manually, using the water hardness dial.

The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, which

would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.

The more minerals there are, the harder your water is.

The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area.

Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.

Adjusting salt consumption The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjustment in the amount of salt consumed

based on the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimise and customise

the level of salt consumption.

1. Switch on the appliance;

2. Press the Program button for more than 5 seconds to start the water softener set

model within 60 seconds after the appliance was switched on;

3. Press the Program button to select the proper set according to your local

environment, the sets will change in the following sequence:

H1->H2->H3->H4->H5->H6;

4. Press the Power button to end the set up model.

Please follow the steps below for adjustment in salt consumption.

dH=1.25 Clarke=1.78 fH=0.178mmol/l 1

The manufactory setting: H3

Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.

NOTE: If your model does not have any water softener, you may skip this section.

Water Softener

The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the

dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes and utensils.

The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt container

specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.

Preparing And Loading Dishes

Consider buying utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof.

For particular items, select a program with the lowest possible temperature.

To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher

immediately after the program has ended.

Cutlery with wooden, horn china or mother-of-pearl handles

Plastic items that are not heat resistant

Older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature resistant

Bonded cutlery items or dishes

Pewter or cooper items

Crystal glass

Steel items subject to rusting

Wooden platters

Items made from synthetic fibres

Some types of glasses can become dull after a large number of washes

Silver and aluminum parts have a tendency to discolour during washing

Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently

For washing the following cutlery/dishes

Are not suitable

Are of limited suitability

8

Please check the section 3 Loading The Salt Into The Softener

of PART Generic Version, If your dishwasher lacks salt.:

Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are faced downwards.

Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded aslant so that water can run

off.

All utensils are stacked securely and can not tip over.

All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotate freely during

washing.

Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. With the opening facing

downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.

Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.

To avoid damage, glasses should not touch one another.

The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as

glasses, coffee and tea cups.

Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard!

Long and / or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned

horizontally in the upper basket.

Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and for

reasonable consumption of energy.

NOTE: Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall

out of the basket.

To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower basket, we

recommend that you empty the lower basket first, followed by the upper basket.

Removing the dishes

WARNING Items will be hot! To prevent damage, do not take glass and

cutlery out of the dishwasher for around 15 minutes after the

program has ended.

Recommendations for loading the dishwasher Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. Soften remnants of burnt food in

pans. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water.

For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines.

(Features and appearance of baskets and cutlery baskets may vary from

your model.)

Place objects in the dishwasher in following way:

Loading the upper basket The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and

lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups

and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow

pans (as long as they are not too dirty). Position the

dishes and cookware so that they will not get moved by

the spray of water.

WARNING Do not let any item extend through the bottom. Always load sharp utensils with the sharp point down!

Loading the cutlery basket Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery rack separately from each other in the

appropriate positions, and do make sure the utensils do not nest together, this may

cause bad performance.

For the best washing effect, please load the baskets refer to standard

loading options on last section of PART Generic Version:

Loading the lower basket We suggest that you place large items and the most

difficult to clean items are to be placed into the lower

basket: such as pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls,

as shown in the figure below. It is preferable to place

serving dishes and lids on the side of the racks in order to

avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.

The maximum diameter advised for plates in front of the

detergent dispenser is of 19 cm, this not to hamper the

opening of it.

10

The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets

on your dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing

water to roll off the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids.

WARNING

Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser

with any other substances (e.g. Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent).

This would damage the appliance.

Function Of The Rinse Aid And Detergent

11

fresh and dry. Don't put powdered detergent into the dispenser until you are ready to wash

dishes.

Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Keep dishwasher

detergent out of the reach of children.

When to refill the rinse aid The regularity of the dispenser needing to be refilled depends on how often dishes are

washed and the rinse aid setting used.

The Low Rinse Aid indicator ( ) will appear in the display when more rinse aid

is needed.

Do not overfill the rinse aid dispenser.
