WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN
Cold water connection
Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (inch) connector
and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place.
If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended period
of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is clear and free of
impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk that the water inlet
can get blocked and damage the appliance.
Provided water supply hose has the aqua-safe system. Ensure that
water supply hose’s aqua-safe pipe is connected to the faucet.
Hot water connection
The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to the house hot water line (centralized
system, heating system), as long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60 °C. In this case, the
wash cycle time will be shortened by about 15 minutes and the wash effi ciency slightly reduced.
The connection must be made to the hot water line following the same procedures as those for
the connection to the cold water line.
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
water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left to facilitate
proper installation.
How to drain excess water from hoses
If the sink is 1000mm higher from the fl oor, the excess water in hoses cannot be drained directly
into the sink. It will be necessary to drain excess water from hoses into a bowl or suitable
container that is held outside and lower than the sink.
Water outlet
Connect the water drain hose. The drain hose must be correctly fi tted to avoid water leaks.
Ensure that the water inlet hose is not kinked or squashed.
Extension hose
If you need a drain hose extension, observe to use a similar drain hose.
It must be no longer than 4 metres; otherwise the cleaning effect of the dishwasher could be
reduced.
Syphon connection
The waste connection must be at a height of between 40 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum)
from the bottom of the dishwasher. The water drain hose should be fi xed by a hose clip.
Aqua-safe
The Aqua-safe System is a safety valve system, preventing you from water leaks. If the water
inlet hose starts to leak anytime, the safety valve cuts off the running water. If water inlet hose or
the safety valve is damaged, remove & replace it.
Do not enlarge or shorten the inlet hose.

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 higher the content of these minerals and salts, 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 adjusting the amount of salt consumed based on
the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimize and customize the level of salt
consumption so that the salt consumption could be set proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the cap from the salt container.
2. There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see fi gure
to the side), if necessary, rotate the ring in the anticlockwise
direction from the “-” Setting toward the “+”sign, based on the
hardness of the water being used. It i s recommended that
adjustments should be made in accordance with the following

using the detergent and water softener _15
LOADING THE SALT INTO THE SOFTENER
Always use salt intended for use with dishwasher.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be fi lled as follows:
ATTENTION
Only use s alt specifi cally designed for use in dishwashers! All other types of salt not specifi cally
designed for use in a dishwasher, e specially 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 caused damages.
Only fi ll with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes. This will prevent
any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been split, remaining of the bottom of the
machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
After the fi rst wash cycle the control panel light expires.
1. Remove the lower basket and then unscrew and remove the cap from
the salt container.
2. If you are fi lling the container for the fi rst time, fi ll 2/3 of its volume with water (around 500 ml).
3. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce
about 1,2 kg of salt. It is Normal for a small amount of water to come
out of the salt container.
4. Carefully screw the cap back on.
5. Usually, the salt warning light will be off in 2-6 after the salt container days be fi lled with salt.
The salt container must be refi lled when the salt warning light in the control panel comes on.
Though the salt container is fi lled enough, the indicator light may not black out before the salt fully
dissolve.
If there is no salt warning light in the control panel, you can judge when to load the salt into the
softener by the cycles that the dishwasher had run (see the following schema ).
If there are spills of the salt, a pre-wash option should be run to wipe them out.

FILL THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
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 branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fi ll the rinse aid dispenser
with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would
damage the appliance.
When to refi ll 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 “D” 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.
As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot
on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated
below.

RINSE AID DISPENSER
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
overfi ll.
3. Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with “open” arrow
and turning it to the closed (right) arrow.
The rinse aid is released during the fi nal rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your
dishes that can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to sheet off
the dishes.
Your dishwashers are designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is located inside
the door next to the detergent dispenser. To fi ll 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 130 ml.
Be careful not to overfi ll the dispenser, because this could cause over sudsing. Wipe away any
spills with a damp cloth. Don’t forget to replace the cap before you close dishwasher door.
ATTENTION : Clean up any rinse aid split during fi lling with an absorbent cloth to avoid
excess foaming during the next wash.
Adjusting rinse aid dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser has four settings. Always start with the
dispenser set on “3”. If spots and poor drying are problems, increase
the amount of rinse aid dispensed by removing the dispenser lid and
rotating the dial to “4”. We suggest you to set on “3” (Factory value is
“3”).
Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on
the dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes or a

FUNCTION OF DETERGENT
Detergents with its chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport it out of the
dishwasher. Most of commercial quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.
WARNING : Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out of reach of children.
Proper Use of Detergent
Use only detergent specifi cally 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.
Concentrated detergent
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergent can be split in two basic types:
conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components
low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes
The use of “normal” washing programmes in conjunction with concentrated detergents reduces
pollution and is good for your dishes; these wash programmes are specially matched to the
dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For this reason “normal”
wash programmes in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that
can otherwise only be achieved using “intensive” programmes.
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 short programmes.
Therefore please use long programmes when using detergent tablets, to unsure the complete
removal of detergent residuals.
Detergent dispenser
The dispenser must be refi lled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions
provided in the Wash Cycle Table. Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid then
conventional dishwashers. 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 dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.

Detergents
There are 3 sorts of detergents.
1. With phosphate and with chlorine.
2. With phosphate and without chlorine.
3. Without phosphate and without chloride.
Normally new pulverised detergent is without phosphate. The water softener function of
phosphate is not given. In this case we recommend to fi ll salt in the salt container even when the
hardness of water is only 6 dH. If detergents without phosphate were used in case of hard water
often white spots appear at 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 programme with higher temperature.
HOW TO USE THE 3 IN 1 OPTION
Your dishwasher has a 3 in 1 option which needs not salt and rinse aid but a 3 In1 tablet. And this
dishwasher comes with a 3 in 1 tablet container as an accessory. This option can select on auto, intensive,
normal or eco program only.
Only 3 in 1 option uses 3 in 1 tablet. If using 3 in 1 tablet without this option, the appliance will not get
it’s best performance.
1. Referring to the below sketch map, hang the 3 in
1 tablet container on the upper basket.
2. Referring to the below sketch map, rotate the upper sprayer
and of the container if need to make sure the upper sprayer
does not be cumbered by the 3 in 1 tablet container.
3. Put the 3 in 1 tablet into the container then start the 3 in 1 option.
When use “3 in 1 Combination / Compact Detergents, please pay attention to make sure that the size
of the Combination Detergents is fi tted to the dispenser, so that Combination Detergents can be ease
to put in the dispenser, and dispenser would not be broken.
ATTENTION : Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s reach.
Always add the detergent in the dispenser just before starting the dishwasher.
