Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
A. Set the water softener
B. Add 1.5Kg dishwasher salt and then full fill the salt container with water
C. Fill the rinse aid dispenser
D. Fill in detergent

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 adjustment in the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of
the water used. This is intended to optimise and customise the level o f salt consumption.

Please follow the steps below for adjustment in salt consumption.

1. Open the door ,Switch on the appliance;
2. Press the Program button for more than 5 seconds to start the water softener
set model within 60seconds after the appliance was switched on( The Salt and
Rinse aid warninglights will be on periodically when it get in the set model );
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.

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

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.

4
Always use the salt intended for use with dishwasher.
The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as explained
in the following:

Attention!
Only use salt specifically designed for the use in dishwashers! Every other type of
salt not specifically designed for the use in a dishwasher, 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 just before starting one of the complete washing programs.
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.

A After the lower basket has been removed, unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container.
B Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce about 1.5kg of dishwasher salt.
C Full fill the salt container with water,It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the
salt container.
D After filling the container , screw the cap tightly back clockwise.
E The salt warning light will stop being after the salt container has been filled with salt.
F Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing program should be started (We suggest to use a short
program). Otherwise the filter system, pump or other important parts of the machine may be damaged
by salty water. This is out of warranty.

1. The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light in the control panel comes on.
Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be on even though the
salt container is filled.
If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (for some Models),you can estimate when to fill
the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher has run.
2. If there are spills of the salt, a soak or a rapid program should be run to remove the excessive salt.

 Consider buying utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof.
Use a mild detergent that is described as 'kind to dishes'. If necessary, seek further
information from the detergent manufacturers.
For particular items, select a program with as low a temperature as possible.
To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately
after the programme has ended.

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 following way:
1.Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are faced downwards.
2.Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded aslant so that water can run off.
3.All utensils are stacked securely and can not tip over.
4.All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.

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. 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 to glasses, they must not touch.
Load large items which are most difficult to clean into the lower basket.
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.

To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower basket, we recommend that you
empty the lower basket first and then the upper basket.

begins to start.

11
 Premise:
1 A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has only been running for a short time. 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 " ).
2 Open the door ,press the Program button more than 3 seconds , the machine will be in standby state,
then you can change the program to the desired cycle setting (see the section entitled " Starting a
wash cycle. . ." ).

completely.
3 Add forgotten dishes.

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 for 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.

Switch Off the Dishwasher

The program light is on but is not blinking, only in this case the programme has ended.
1.Open the door. Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the ON/OFF button.
2.Turn off the water tap!

Open the door carefully.

Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down 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

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.

because the hot water may scald you.
12
The filter prevents larger remnants of food or other objects from getting inside the pump.
The residues may block the filter, in this case they must be removed.

The filter system consists of a coarse filter,a flat (Main filter)

And a microfilter(Fine filter).

Main filter 1
2 Food and soil particles trapped in this filter are pulverized by a
special jet on the lower spray arm and washed down to drain.

1 Coarse filter 2
Larger items, such as pieces of bones 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
3 filter and lift out.

Fine filter 3
This filter holds soil and food residues in the sump area and
prevents it from being redeposit on the dishes during wash cycle.

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

The dishwasher must never be used without the filters.

Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance
and damage dishes and utensils.

1
Step 1：Turn the filter in anti-clockwise direction,

2
Step 2：lift the filter assy up

When following this procedure from step1 to step 2, the filter system will be removed;
when following it from Step 2 to Step 1, the filter system will be installed.
13
Remarks:
- Inspect the filters for blocking after 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.

The entire filter assembly should be cleaned once a week.

Cleaning the Filter

To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Reassemble the filter parts as shown in the figures
on the last page and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning it in its seat and pressing downwards.

When cleaning the filters, don't knock on them. Otherwise, the filters could be
contorted and the performance of the dishwasher could be decreased.

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

After cleaning, make sure to dry it thoroughly.
For the exterior, use 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.

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

Protect Against Freezing

For personal safety:

Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug
with this appliance.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the
earthing
Connection from the power cord.

Please look at the rating label to know the rating voltage and connect the dishwasher to the appropriate power supply.
Use the required fuse 10 amp, time delay fuse or circuit breaker recommended and provide separate circuit serving
only this appliance.

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 must be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets.
The old hose-sets should not be reused.

Water pressure must be between 0,04 MPa and 1 MPa. If the pressure is below the
minimum consult our Service Department for advice.
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.

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.

A hose that attaches to a sink spray can burst if it is installed on the same water line as the dishwasher. If your sink
has one, it is recommended that the hose be disconnected and the hole plugged.

1Turn off the water.

2 Release the water pressure by depressing the pressure release button. This relieves water pressure and protects you, and the
room, from severe splashing.
3 Unscrew the safety supply hose from the faucet.

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.

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 walls. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can
be positioned either to the right or the left sides to facilitate proper installation.

How to Drain Excess Water From Hoses

If the sink is 1000 higher from the floor, 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 fitted to avoid water leaks.
Ensure that the water inlet hose is not kinked or squashed.

Extension Hose
If you need a drain hose extension, make sure 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
Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 40mm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to
avoid bending or crimping it. The top of the hose must be less than 1000mm.

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 Inlet hose connections are fully tightened and not leaking
4 The wires are tightly connected
5 The power is switched on
6 The inlet and drain hoses are knotted
7 All packing materials and printings should be taken out from the dishwasher

After installation, please make sure to keep this manual.
