Detergent Dispenser: Designed for liquid or powder dishwasher detergent. Dosing levels are marked for main wash (approx. 20g) and pre-wash (approx. 5g). Detergent should be added just before starting a wash cycle.
Basket Loading:
- Upper Basket: Designed for delicate and lighter dishware (glasses, cups, saucers, small bowls, shallow pans). Features adjustable height by placing wheels at different heights on the rails.
- Lower Basket: Recommended for large and heavily soiled items (pots, pans, lids, serving dishes, bowls). Features fold-down tine rows for accommodating larger items.

Adding Forgotten Dishes: Dishes can be added before the detergent cup opens by pausing the machine, opening the door, adding items, and then closing the door.
End of Wash: The dishwasher signals the end of the cycle with a buzzer. It's recommended to wait a few minutes after the cycle ends before unloading to allow dishes to cool and dry better.
Error Codes: The appliance displays error codes (e.g., LED1, LED3 flash for "Door open"; LED1, LED4 flash for "Water inlet malfunction") to indicate malfunctions, helping users troubleshoot issues.

Maintenance Features:

Filtering System: Consists of a coarse filter, a flat (main) filter, and a micro filter. Filters should be inspected for obstructions after each use and cleaned regularly under running water. The entire filter assembly can be removed for thorough cleaning.
Spray Arms: Should be cleaned regularly to prevent clogging from hard water chemicals. They can be removed by unscrewing the nut and cleaned with soapy water and a soft brush.
Dishwasher Care:
- Control Panel: Clean with a lightly dampened cloth and dry thoroughly.
- Exterior: Use a good appliance polish wax. Avoid sharp objects, scouring pads, or harsh cleaners.
- Door: Clean the edge around the door with a soft, warm, damp rag. Avoid spray cleaners, abrasive cleaners, or paper towels on the door panel.
- Seals: Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge prevents odors caused by trapped food.
Winter Protection (Against Freezing): If the dishwasher is left in an unheated place, it's recommended to cut off electrical power, turn off and disconnect the water supply, drain water from the inlet pipe and water valve, and remove the filter from the tub to use a sponge to soak up remaining water.
Troubleshooting Guide: The manual provides a comprehensive troubleshooting section to help users identify and resolve common problems without needing professional service. This includes issues like cloudiness on glassware, film on surfaces, detergent residue, and leaks.
