Function of Rinse Aid: Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying. Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers.

When to Refill: If there is no rinse-aid warning light on the control panel, you can estimate the amount from the optical level indicator “C” located next to the cap. When the container is full, the indicator will be dark. As the rinse-aid diminishes, the size of the dark dot decreases. You should never let the rinse aid level fall below 1/4 full.

How to Fill:

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.

Clean up any rinse aid spilled during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excessive foaming during the next wash.

Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser: The dispenser has six settings. Always start with the dispenser set on “4”. If spots and poor drying are a problem, increase the amount by rotating the dial to “5”. If dishes are still not drying properly or show spots, adjust the dial to the next higher level until your dishes are spot-free. The recommended setting is “4”. Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish stains on your dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle. 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. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher.

Filling the Dispenser:

1. If the lid is closed, press the release button. The lid will spring open.

2. Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels:

A: Main wash cycle detergent place (“MIN” means approx. 20g).

B: Pre-wash cycle detergent place (approx. 5g).

Please observe the manufacturer’s recommendations on the detergent packaging.

3. 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.

Your dishwasher has a 3in1 function which needs no salt and rinse aid but a 3in1 tablet. Only the 3in1 function (for the programs: Intensive/Normal/Eco) can be used with 3in1 tablets. If you use 3in1 tablets in other programs, the appliance will not achieve a good performance.

1. Hang the 3in1 tablet container on the upper basket.

2. Rotate the upper sprayer and change the location of the container to ensure the upper sprayer is not obstructed by the 3in1 tablet container.

3. Put the 3in1 tablet into the container, then start the 3in1 program.

Note: When using 3in1 combination/compact detergents, please pay attention to make sure that the size of the combination detergents fits the dispenser, so that they can be easily put into the dispenser and the dispenser would not be broken.

Recommendations:

Consider buying utensils identified as dishwasher-proof.

Use a mild detergent described as ‘kind to dishes’.

For particular items, select a program with as low a temperature as possible.

To prevent damage, take glass and cutlery out as soon as possible after the program has ended.

Items Not Suitable: Cutlery with wooden or mother-of-pearl handles, non-heat resistant plastic items, older cutlery with glued parts, bonded cutlery, pewter or copper items, crystal glass, steel items subject to rusting, wooden platters, items made from synthetic fibres.

Before Loading: Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water.

Loading Tips:

Place items like cups, glasses, pots/pans facing downwards.

Curved items should be loaded aslant so water can run off.

All utensils should be stacked securely so they cannot tip over.

Ensure spray arms can rotate freely.

Do not let dishes and cutlery lie inside one another or cover each other.

To avoid damage, glasses must not touch.

Load large, difficult-to-clean items in the lower basket.

The upper basket is for more delicate and lighter dishware.

Long bladed knives are a potential hazard and should be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.

Do not overload your dishwasher.

Removing Dishes: To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower one, empty the lower basket first.

Loading the Upper Basket:

The upper basket is designed for delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee/tea cups, saucers, plates, small bowls, and shallow pans. Position dishes and cookware so they will not be moved by the spray of water. Items include:

1. Cups

2. Saucers

3. Glasses

Loading the Lower Basket:

When using a 3 in 1 detergent, please select the program as Intensive, Heavy, or Normal, and select the 3in1 function to get the best washing purpose.

Starting a cycle wash:

1. Draw out the lower and upper basket, load the dishes and push them back. It is recommended to load the lower basket first, then the upper one.

2. Pour in the detergent.

3. Insert the plug into the socket. The power supply is 240 VAC/50 HZ. Make sure that the water supply is turned on to full pressure.

4. Close the door, press the ON/OFF button, and the display will light up. Turn the knob to select a desired wash cycle, and press the START/Reset button, the machine will work.

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. Wait for a few minutes before unloading to avoid handling hot dishes. They will also dry better.

Unloading the dishwasher: It is normal that the dishwasher is wet inside. Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one. This will avoid water dripping from the upper Basket onto the dishes in the lower one.

Filtering System: The filter prevents larger remnants of food from getting inside the pump. It consists of a coarse filter, a main filter, and a fine filter. For best performance, the filter must be cleaned regularly after each wash cycle. The entire filter assembly should be cleaned once a week.

To remove the filter device: contrarotate the Coarse filter and then lift it up; then lift the Main filter up.

Caring for the Dishwasher:

The control panel can be cleaned by using a lightly dampened cloth. Dry it thoroughly.

For the exterior, use a good appliance polish wax. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads, or harsh cleaners.

To clean the edge around the door, use only a soft warm, damp cloth. Do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.

Protect Against Freezing: In winter, take frost protection measures. After washing cycles, cut electrical power, turn off water supply and disconnect inlet pipe, drain water from inlet pipe and valve, reconnect pipe, and remove the filter to soak up water in the sump.

Cleaning the Spray Arms: Clean the spray arms regularly to remove scale from hard water and prevent blocking of jets and bearings. You can poke the blocked spray arm jets with a needle to ensure good washing effect.

After Every Wash: Turn off the water supply and leave the door slightly open so moisture and odours are not trapped.

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

No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning: To clean the exterior and rubber parts, use only a cloth with warm soapy water. To remove spots from the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made for dishwashers.

When not in Use for a Long Time: It is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty, remove the plug, turn off the water supply, and leave the door slightly open.

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: Food can remain trapped in the seals causing odours. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this.

The following things should be checked before starting the dishwasher:

1. The dishwasher is level and fixed properly.

2. The inlet valve is open.

3. There is no leakage at the connections of the conducts.

4. The wires are tightly connected.

5. The power is switched on.

6. The inlet and drain hoses are not knotted.

7. All packing materials and printings should be taken out from the dishwasher.

Attention: After installation, please make sure to keep this manual. The content of this manual is very helpful to the users.

When some malfunctions occur, the appliance will display error codes to warn you. WARNING! If overflow occurs, turn off the main water supply before calling a service. If there is water in the base pan because of an overfill or small leak, the water should be removed before restarting the dishwasher.
