General

Use only the special Dishwasher detergent to avoid 
suds. If this occurs, open the Dishwasher and let suds 
evaporate.
Add approx 4.5 litres of cold water to the tub. Close 
and latch the Dishwasher, then select any cycle.
Dishwasher will drain out the water at the fi rst step.
Open the door after draining is stopped and check if 
the suds is disappeared.
Repeat if necessary.

To clean the interior, use a damp sponge with 
Dishwasher detergent and wear rubber gloves.
Never use any other cleaner than Dishwasher

Wrap warm towels around the joints of the Inlet Hose. 
Disconnect the Inlet Hose, and soak them in warm 
water (50 °C or lower)

noise in the 
wash cabinet

A spray arm is knocking 
against an item in a 
basket.

Interrupt the programme, and rearrange the items 
which are obstructing the spray arm.

Rattling 
noise in the 
wash cabinet

Items of crockery are loose 
in the wash cabinet.

Interrupt the programme, and rearrange the items of 
crockery.

Noise in the 
Inlet Hose 
and Drain 
Hose

This may be caused by 
on-site installation or the 
cross-section of the piping.

This has no infl uence on the Dishwasher function.
If in doubt, contact a suitably qualifi ed plumber.
