This document serves as a comprehensive guide for the proper and safe use of your new dishwasher, ensuring you get the most out of its features and maintain its optimal performance. It is crucial to read this manual carefully before operating the appliance, as it contains all necessary information regarding its installation, operation, and maintenance.
Function Description
Your dishwasher is designed and manufactured specifically for washing and drying dishes within a household environment. This includes similar settings such as staff kitchens in shops, offices, other workplaces, institutions, and for guests in hotels, hostels, bed and breakfasts, and other residential facilities. Any use outside of this intended function is considered improper, and the manufacturer disclaims all responsibility for such uses.
The dishwasher offers a variety of wash programs tailored to different needs and levels of soiling. These include:
- SOAK: A pre-wash cycle for dishes awaiting a full wash.
- CRYSTAL 45°: Ideal for delicate items like wine glasses and fine china, ensuring dazzlingly clean glassware.
- AUTO 45°-65°: This intelligent cycle automatically adjusts washing parameters based on the detected soil level for mixed loads with dried-on residues.
- ECO 48°C: The most efficient program in terms of water and energy consumption, recommended for normally soiled dishes, including those with dried-on residues. This is the standard program for comparative tests.
- MIX 65°: Suitable for normally soiled mixed loads of dishes and pans, even with dried-on residues.
- INTENSE 70°: For heavily soiled plates, pots, and pans, including those with dried-on residues.
- EXPRESS 27': A quick cycle for lightly soiled dishes, to be washed immediately after use.
- DELICATE 50°: A wash cycle specifically for mixed loads such as wine glasses and lightly soiled dishes.
- SILENT: Designed for normally soiled dishes, even with dried-on residues, ideal for running overnight due to its quiet operation.
- GREEN EXPRESS: A quick wash cycle with low water and energy consumption, suitable for normally soiled mixed loads that have been washed immediately after use.
- FULL EXPRESS 60': A quick cycle for normally soiled mixed loads of dishes and pans, including those with dried-on residues. Dishes are washed and dried within 60 minutes.
- HYGIENE 99.9%: An intensive wash cycle for plates, pots, pans, cutting boards, and feeding bottles. This program is ideal for baby dishes or for households with allergy sufferers. It has been tested by an external laboratory (VDE) and should not be interrupted for optimal effectiveness.
- TRAYS: An intensive cleaning program for oven trays placed in the lower basket. Ensure the upper spray arm rotates freely.
- SELF CLEAN: A dedicated dishwasher cleaning cycle that must be started with the machine empty and without dishes.
Many programs include an "Automatic door opening – Dry Assist" feature, which activates automatically to enhance drying by slightly opening the door during the drying cycle. This feature can be deactivated if not required.
Usage Features
Operating your dishwasher is straightforward. After installation, ensure the basket retainers are removed.

Always use regeneration salt specifically for domestic dishwashers. After adding salt, run a wash cycle to remove any excess.

Troubleshooting:
The dishwasher is equipped with a self-diagnostics system that signals possible faults. If an alarm occurs, the machine stops the current program and indicates the fault.
- Alarms E1 and E11 require contacting technical assistance.
- Alarm E7 is displayed at the end of the cycle but does not affect operation.
- For other alarms (E02, E03, E04, E05, E06, E07, E08, E09), stop the current program, switch off the dishwasher, then switch it on and reprogram to start a new wash cycle.
If a malfunction persists, contact an authorized Service Centre and provide them with the fault code. The manufacturer reserves the right to make necessary improvements to its products without prior notice.
