Warranty Information
Applies for 12 months from purchase for faulty workmanship or materials, provided the appliance is correctly installed and used.
Before First Use: Ensure water and electrical connections are correct, remove packaging, set water softener, fill salt container with 1 litre of water and dishwasher salt, and fill rinse aid dispenser. Adjust water softener manually and electronically if needed.
Daily Use: Check salt and rinse aid levels. Load dishes, ensuring spray arms can rotate freely and items don't obstruct each other. Add dishwasher detergent. Select and start a wash programme.
Loading: Do not wash sponges or cloths. Remove large food scraps. Load hollow items with openings downwards. Do not overload. Keep glasses from touching. Place small items in the cutlery basket.
Detergent: Use only dishwasher-specific detergents. Tablets go in the dispenser. Concentrated detergents are best with 50°C programmes. Combi detergents with rinse aid function require an empty rinse aid dispenser.
Programmes: Select the appropriate programme based on soil level and type of load.
End of Cycle: The dishwasher stops automatically with an audible signal. Open the door slightly to allow dishes to cool and improve drying. Switch off the appliance.
