Usage Features

The washer offers six distinct programs:

P1 (ECO): A standard program suitable for normally soiled tableware, optimized for combined energy and water consumption. It runs at 55°C for 160 minutes, consuming 0.43 kWh and 5L of water.
P2 (1 Hour): For lightly soiled dishes that do not require excellent drying efficiency. It runs at 50°C for 60 minutes, consuming 0.4 kWh and 5L of water.
P3 (Rapid): A quick wash for lightly soiled dishes. It runs at 45°C for 29 minutes, consuming 0.35 kWh and 5L of water.
Fruit Wash (Hot): Uses hot water (36°C) for washing fruit surfaces with certain sizes (e.g., apple, grape, jujube). It runs for 12 minutes, consuming 0.2 kWh and 5L of water, with a little soda water. Not suitable for fruits with a weak surface.
Fruit Wash (Cold): Uses cold water for fruits with a weak surface (e.g., strawberries). It runs for 6 minutes, consuming 0.01 kWh and 5L of water.
Baby Care: Suitable for washing baby bottles, incorporating Steam Adding. It runs at 69°C for 120 minutes, consuming 0.5 kWh and 5L of water.
Glass Wash: For lightly soiled loads such as glasses and crystals, also incorporating Steam Adding. It runs at 50°C for 90 minutes, consuming 0.4 kWh and 5L of water.

The appliance includes a Steam Adding function, which is automatically included in the washing process if the salt indicator is off. It also features a Storage function to get rid of smell, dampness, and mildew proofing, and an Extra Dry function. A Delay function allows setting a delay time from 00-24 hours.

Loading the Basket: Items like cups, glasses, and pots/pans should face downwards. Curved items should be tilted to allow water to run off. All tableware must be neatly arranged to prevent falling and ensure free rotation of spray arms. Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher. Long bladed knives should be placed horizontally in the basket. The dishwasher should not be overloaded to ensure good results and reasonable energy consumption. The manual provides specific instructions for filling the main basket, baby bottle holder, and cutlery basket. The rack shelves can be folded down to accommodate larger items.

Detergent Use: Only detergents specifically designed for dishwashers should be used. Concentrated detergents (conventional alkaline or low alkaline with natural enzymes) are recommended. For detergent tablets, longer programs are advised to ensure complete dissolution. Detergent should be added before each wash cycle. The Fruit Wash program should not use detergent.

Operation: To start a wash cycle, load the basket, add detergent, plug in the appliance, turn it on, ensure water supply, select a program, and press Start/Pause. The display shows the appliance's state (standby, pause, run, end). Programs can be changed if the dishwasher has only run for a short time by pressing the Program button for more than three seconds to enter standby mode. Forgotten dishes can be added by pausing the machine, opening the door, adding dishes, closing the door, and pressing Start/Pause again. At the end of a wash cycle, the buzzer sounds, and the appliance should be turned off, water supply shut off, and the door opened to allow dishes to cool and dry.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance and longevity.

Filter System: The filter system, consisting of a main filter and a fine filter, efficiently separates food particles. It must be cleaned regularly after each wash cycle by rinsing under running water. To remove the filter, pull the filter cup handle upward, rotate the filter counterclockwise, and then lift out the fine filter. Re-installation is in reverse order. The entire filter assembly should be cleaned once a week. It is important not to knock on the filters during cleaning to avoid damage.

Product Maintenance:

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 cloth. Do not use a spray cleaner to prevent water penetration into the door lock and electrical components.
Spray Arms: Can be removed for periodic cleaning of nozzles to prevent clogging. Wash under running water and carefully replace, ensuring free rotation.

General Care:

After Every Wash: Turn off the water supply and leave the door slightly open to prevent moisture and odors from being trapped.
Before Cleaning/Maintenance: Always remove the plug from the socket.
No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning: For exterior and rubber parts, use only a cloth with warm soapy water. For interior spots or stains, use a dampened cloth with a little vinegar or a dishwasher-specific cleaning product.

Salt Container: If the model has a salt container, it should be filled with dishwasher-specific salt when the indicator light illuminates. Before the first wash, add 1 liter of water, then about 0.13 kg of salt using a funnel. After filling, close the cap tightly. A rapid washing program should be started immediately after filling to prevent damage from salt water. The salt consumption can be adjusted based on water hardness levels (H1-H6 settings).

Forced Drain Operation: In standby mode, pressing and holding the "Baby care" and "Glass wash" buttons together for 3 seconds will drain the water tank.

Troubleshooting: The manual provides a detailed troubleshooting chart for common issues such as the dishwasher not starting, water not pumping, suds in the tub, stained interior, white film, rust stains, knocking/rattling noise, and dishes not being clean or dry. It also lists error codes (E1, E3, E4, E9, Ed, EF, EA) with their meanings and recommended actions, which typically involve contacting a qualified worker for repair.
