Safety First: Always read the safety instructions before installation or use. Ensure packaging is kept away from children and the appliance is properly installed by a qualified person. Do not tamper with controls or play with the product. Never use the dishwasher for anything other than its intended purpose, and keep detergents out of reach of children.
Before First Use: Ensure connections are correct, remove packaging, set the water softener, fill with dishwasher salt, and fill the rinse aid dispenser. Adjust the water hardness setting both manually and electronically as described.
Daily Use: Check salt and rinse aid levels, load cutlery and dishes according to instructions (avoiding overloading and ensuring spray arms can rotate), fill with detergent, select the appropriate wash programme, and start the machine. Always close the door after loading/unloading. "Rinse and Hold" programme is for partial loads.
Maintenance: Regularly clean filters, exterior, and interior. Perform a 65°C wash program every 3 months without dishes.
Troubleshooting: The manual provides guidance for common issues like the machine not starting, not filling or draining, or unsatisfactory wash results. If problems persist, contact the Service Force Centre.
