DISHWASHER SETUP Before using your dishwasher for the first time: A. Set the water softener B. Pour 500ml of water inside the salt container and then fill with dishwasher salt C. Fill the rinse aid dispenser D. Function of detergent A. Water Softener 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 the water is.
B. Loading the Salt into the Softener Always use salt intended for use with dishwasher. NOTE: If your model has no 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 salts specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.
NOTE: 1. The salt container must be refilled when the salt warning light in the control panel comes on. Though the salt container is filled enough, the indicator light may not black out before the salt fully dissolve. If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (for some models), you can judge when to load the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher had run (see the following schema). 2. If there are spills of the salt, a Rinse program could be run to wipe them out. C.
1 2 3 To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the "open" (left) arrow and lift it out. Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, be careful not to overfill. The volume of the rinse aid container is about 140ml. Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, because this could cause over sudsing. Wipe away any spills with a damp cloth. Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with "open" arrow and turning it to the "closed" (right) arrow.

Detergent Dispenser The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each washing cycle following the instructions provided in the Wash Cycle Table. Your dishwashers use less detergent and rinse aid than conventional dishwashers. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load.

It is recommended to load the lower basket first, then the upper one (see the section entitled "Loading the Dishwasher"). Pour in the detergent (see the section entitled "Salt, Detergent and Rinse Aid"). 2. Insert the plug into the socket. You must have:120-volt,60Hz,AC-only,10-or 12-amp,fused electrical supply. Make sure that the water supply is turned on to full pressure.
Forget to Add Dish A forgotten dish can be added any time before the detergent cup opens. 1 Open the door a little to stop the washing. 2 After the spray arms stop working, you can open the door completely. 3 Add forgotten dishes. 4 You need press the Start/Pause button and close the door within 4 seconds and the dishwasher will work after ten seconds. WARNING! It is dangerous to open the door when washing, because the hot water may scald you.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Filtering System The filter is used to avoid the big remnants and other sundries getting inside the pump. The residue can obstruct the filter in sometime. The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (Main filter) and a micro filter (fine filter). 1 Flat filter Food and debris will be trapped by a special jet on the lower spray arm. 2 Coarse filter Big debris, such as bone and glass that could clog the drain will be trapped in the coarse filter.
Filter assembly For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned. The filter efficientlyremoves food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle. 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 assembly, pull on the cup handle in the upward direction.
