Before First Use

Rinse Aid Dispenser
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes. That can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to slide off the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids. 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 volume of the rinse aid container is about 110ml.

Function of Rinse Aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak-free drying.

Attention!
Only use a branded rinse aid for the dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.

When to Refill the Rinse Aid Dispenser
If there is no rinse-aid warning light in the control panel, you can judge the amount of rinse-aid by the color of the optical level indicator”C “located next to the cap. When the rinse-aid container is full, the whole indicator will be dark. As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the dark dot decreases. You should never let the rinse aid get below 1 / 4 full.

1. To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the “open” (left) arrow and lift it out.
2. Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill.
3. Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with the “open” arrow and turning it to the closed (right) arrow.

Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser has four settings. The recommended setting is on “3” If the dishes still are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number on “4”.

Function of Detergent

Proper Use of Detergent
Detergents with chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt, and transport it out of the dishwasher. Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put powder detergent into the dispenser until you’re ready to wash dishes. Detergents
There are 3 sorts of detergents

1. With phosphate and chlorine
2. With phosphate and without chlorine
3. Without phosphate and chloride

Normally new pulverised detergent is without phosphate. The water softener function of phosphate is not given. In this case, we recommend filling the salt in the salt container even when the hardness of the water is only 6°dH. If detergents without phosphate were used in case of hard water often white spots appear on dishes and glasses. In this case please add more detergent to reach better results. Detergents without chlorine do only bleach a little. Strong and coloured spots will not removed completely. In this case please choose a program with higher Temperature.

Concentrated Detergent
Based on their chemical composition, dishwashers can be split into two basic types:

• conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components
• Low-alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes

The use of a “normal” washing program in conjunction with concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; these wash programs are specially matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For this reason “normal” wash program in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that can otherwise only be achieved using a “heavy” program.

Detergent Tablets
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason, some detergent tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during a short program. Therefore please use a long program when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.

Detergent Dispenser
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the Wash Cycle Table. Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid than a conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.

Amount of Detergent to Use

NOTE

• If the lid is closed: press the release button. The lid springs open.
• Always add the detergent just before starting each wash cycle.
• Only use branded detergent aid for dishwashers.

Fill in detergent

Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels, as illustrated on the right:

1. Capacity-15g
2. Capacity-25g

Please observe the manufacturer’s dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging.

Close the lid and press until it locks in place. If the dishes are heavily soiled, place an additional detergent dose in the pre-wash detergent chamber. This detergent will take effect during the pre-wash phase.

NOTE

• You find information about the amount of detergent for the single program on the last page.
• Please be aware, that according to the level of soiling and the specific hardness of water, differences are possible.
• Please observe the manufacturer’s recommendations on the detergent packaging.

Loading the Dishwasher Baskets

Recommendation

• Consider buying utensils that are identified as dishwasher-proof.
• Use a mild detergent that is described as specially for dishware. If necessary, seek further information from detergent manufacturers.
• For particular items like glassware, select a program with a low temperature.
• To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately after the program has ended.

Items Not Recommended For The Dishwasher

Are not suitable

• 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 fibers

Are of limited suitability

• Some types of glasses can become dull after a large number of washes
• Silver and aluminum parts tend to discolor during washing
• Glazed patterns may fade if machine-washed frequently

Attention Before or After Loading The Dishwasher Baskets
(For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of baskets and cutlery baskets may vary from your model.). 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. Place objects in the dishwasher in the following way:

1. Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are face down.
2. Curved items, or those with recesses, should be loaded at a slant so that water can run off.
3. All utensils are stacked securely and can not tip over.
4. All utensils are placed in a way that the spray arms can rotated freely during washing.

NOTE
Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the basket.

• Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. The opening is downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
• Dishes and cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
• To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
• Load large items that are most difficult to clean into the basket.
• 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 basket.
• Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and for reasonable energy consumption.

Loading the Basket
Position the dishes and cookware so that they will not get moved by the spray of water.

Cutlery Basket
Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery basket with handles at the bottom. If the rack has side baskets, the spoon should be loaded individually into the appropriate slots, especially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at the front of the upper basket as shown.

For personal safety and a top-quality clean, place the silverware in the basket:

• So they do not nest together.
• With handles facing down.
• Sharp knives and other potentially dangerous utensils with handles facing up.

Starting a Washing Program

Wash Cycle Table

Turning On the Appliance
Starting a wash cycle:

1. Draw out the basket(see the section entitled “Loading the Basket ” );
2. Pour in the detergent (see the section entitled “Detergent and Rinse Aid “);
3. Insert the plug into the socket. The power supply is 120V/60 Hz;
4. Make sure that the water supply is turned on to full pressure;
5. Close the door and press the on/off button to turn on the power supply;
6. Press the program button to select the wash program you need Heavy->Normal->BabyCare->ECO->Glass->Speed->Rinse->Mini-party
7. Then press the Start/Pause button, until the dishwasher begins to start.

Change the Programs
Premise: You can modify the washing program at the beginning of the cycle. Otherwise, the detergent may have already been released, and the appliance may have already drained the wash water. If this is the case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled (see the section entitled ” Loading the Detergent” ).

To change the washing program, press the Start/pause button to pause the machine, then press the program button for more than three seconds to set the machine on standby, then you can change the program to the desired cycle setting. (See the section entitled ” Starting a wash cycle ” ) The lights show the state of the dishwasher:

1. All phase lights off——-Stand by
2. The display is not blinking–Paused
3. The display blinking —-Running

Forgot to Add a Dish?
A forgotten dish can be added any time before the detergent cup opens.

1. Press the start/pause button
2. Open the door a little to stop the washing.
3. After the spray arms stop working, you can open the door completely.
4. Add forgotten dishes.
5. Close the door
6. Press the start/pause button, the dishwasher will run after 10 seconds.

At the End of the Wash Cycle
When the working cycle has finished, the buzzer of the dishwasher will sound for 8 seconds, then stop. Turn off, the appliance using the ON/OFF button, shut off the water supply, and open the door of the dishwasher. Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid handling the dishes and utensils while they. are still hot and more susceptible to breakage. They will also dry better. Since the appliance is standing by, it will power off automatically after 30 minutes without any operation.

• Switch Off the Dishwasher
  All the phase lights are off, only in this case, the program ended.
  • Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the ON/OFF button.
  • Turn off the water tap!
• Open the door carefully
  Hot dishes are sensitive to cold shock. The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down for around 15 minutes before removing from the appliance. Open the dishwasher’s door, leave it ajar, and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes. In this way, they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.
• Unloading the dishwasher
  Normally, the dishwasher is wet inside.

WARNING!
It is dangerous to open the door when washing, because the hot water may scald you.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Filtration System
The filter prevents larger remnants of food or other objects from getting inside the pump.

The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (main filter), and a microfilter (fine filter).

Main filter A
Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the spray arm and washed down to the drain.

Eine filter B
This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being deposited on the dishes during the wash cycle.

Coarse filter C
Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass, that could block the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove the items caught by the filter, gently squeeze the tap on the top of this filter and lift out.

Filter Assembly
The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle. For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be regularly cleaned. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapping in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull on the cup handle in the upward direction.

Remarks

• Inspect the filters for blocking every time the dishwasher has been used.
• By unscrewing the coarse filter, you can remove the filter system. Remove any food remnants and
  clean the filters under running water.

Caring for the Dishwasher
The control panel can be cleaned by using a lightly dampened cloth and dry thoroughly. The exterior uses a good appliance polish wax. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads, or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

Cleaning The Door

To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm, damp cloth. To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.

WARNING!

• Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel as it may damage the door lock and electrical components.
• An abrasive agent or some paper towel should not be used because of the risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stainless steel surface.

Protection Against Freezing
Please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in winter. After each wash cycle, please operate as follows:

1. Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3. Drain water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to catch 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 use up water in the sump.

Cleaning the Spray Arms

The spray arms can be easily removed for periodic cleaning of the nozzles, to prevent possible clogging. Wash them under running water and carefully replace them in their seats, checking that their rotary movement is in no way impeded. Grasp the middle of the spray arm, and pull it upwards to remove it. Wash the arms under a jet of running water and return them carefully to their seat. After reassembly, check that the spray arms turn freely. Otherwise, check that they have been installed correctly.

How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape

• 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 with a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
• When it is not needed for a long time
  It is recommended 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 necessary, it can be positioned on its back.
• Seals
  One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.

Installation Instructions

Installation Preparation
The installation position of the dishwasher should be near the existing inlet drain hoses and power cord. One side of the cabinet sink should be chosen to facilitate the connection of the drain hoses of the dishwasher.

Positioning the Appliance
Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped with a water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left to facilitate proper installation.

Important

1. Once you open the water supply line, (even if it is closed immediately thereafter), the inlet hose will be pressurized.
2. To relieve water pressure from inside the inlet hose, (make sure the water line (faucet) is closed): press and hold the red pressure-relief button on the quick connect until the flow of water stops.

WARNING
FAILURE TO RELIEVE WATER PRESSURE, BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE QUICK-CONNECT FROM THE FAUCET, WILL RESULT IN BACK-PRESSURE OVER-SPRAY. THE TEMPERATURE OF INCOMING WATER CAN BE VERY HOT, AND BACK-PRESSURE OVER-SPRAY COULD CAUSE SEVERE BURNS AND/OR SCALDING.

DANGER
DO NOT LET CHILDREN DISCONNECT THE DISHWASHER; CLOSE SUPERVISION OF CHILDREN IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT AROUND APPLIANCES.

NOTE
Hard water conditions will adversely affect the washing performance of your dishwasher. Hard water conditions will also contribute to ‘lime’ (white film substance) deposits and/or ‘scaling’ on the stainless steel surface of the dishwasher tub and heater element, located in the sump underneath the removable filter screen. To assist in minimizing these conditions, it is recommended to periodically operate/rinse the inside of the dishwasher (empty) using 1 cup of white vinegar at least once a week.
