INSTALL THE APPLIANCE

PLACE YOUR APPLIANCE

  • When choosing the place of installation, make sure you will be able to easily load and remove dishes and utensils from the dishwasher.
  • Do not place the appliance in a room where the temperature can fall below 0°C.
  • Before installing unpack the appliance following the instructions on the packaging.
  • When you move the appliance do not handle it by the door or control panel.
  • Leave some room on all sides to have convenient access to the dish-washer when cleaning.
  • Make sure that when you set the dishwasher you do not crush the water supply and drain hose. Also, make sure that the appliance is not places on the power cord.
  • Level the appliance using the adjustable legs. Proper level ensures trouble-free opening and closing the dishwasher doors.
  • If the dishwasher door will not close properly, check that the appli-ance stands firmly on the floor, if not, adjust using the adjustable legs.

Water supply connection

  • Make sure that domestic water supply system is suitable for the dishwasher.
  • It is recommended to install a filter in the water supply line to avoid damage to the appliance due to impurities (such as sand, clay, rust, etc.) that occasionally occur in water.
  • This will also prevent accu-mulation of sediment after dishwashing.

Water supply hose

  • Do not use the water supply hose from the old dishwash-er. Use the new water supply hose provided with the ap-pliance. Before connecting, rinse the hose with water.
  • Connect the water supply hose directly to the water feed valve. The domestic water system pressure should be at least 0.03 MPa and up to 1 MPa. If the water pressure
    exceeds 1 MPa, install pressure reducing valve.
  • When the connection is ready, open the valve completely and check for leaks.
  • For safety reasons, close the water supply tap after every wash.Amica-EGSP-14797-1-E-Dishwasher-FIG-1
  • NOTE: Aquastop water supply is used in some dishwasher models. Dangerous volt- age could occur with Aquastop. Do not cut the Aquastop water supply. Do not allow it to bend or twist.
  • Note: For safety reasons, close the water tap after every washAmica-EGSP-14797-1-E-Dishwasher-FIG-2

The drain hose

The drain hose can be connected directly to a water drain or kitchen sink stub pipe. You can also drain the water directly into the sink using the special bracket (if available), placing the drain hose outlet on the kitchen sink edge. The drain hose connection should be made at least 50 cm and up to 110 cm from the floor.
If the drain hose is longer than 4m, dishes may not be washed properly. The manu-facturer will not be held responsible.Amica-EGSP-14797-1-E-Dishwasher-FIG-3

Electrical connection
The grounded plug must be connected to a grounded power outlet with a proper voltage. If there is no grounding, refer this to a qualified electrician. If you operate the appliance without proper grounding, the manu-facturer does not assume any liability for the possible resulting damage.Amica-EGSP-14797-1-E-Dishwasher-FIG-4

  • Domestic electrical system must be protected with a 10-16A fuse.
  • The appliance must be supplied with 220-240V/50Hz AC.
  • Always use the plug provided with the appliance. When you operate the appliance at lower voltage the dishwashing efficiency will deteri-orate and may damage the appliance.
  • The power cord may only be replaced by authorized service or a qualified electrician. Failure to comply with these rules may lead to an accident.
  • For safety reasons, you should always unplug the appliance after you have finished using it.
  • In order not to avoid electric shock, do not remove the plug from the wall outlet with wet hands.
  • When you unplug the appliance from the wall outlet, always pull the plug. Never pull the power cord.

PREPARE THE APPLIANCE FOR OPERATION

Before first use

  • Before using the appliance, verify that the data given on the rating plate matches that of local power outlets.
  • Remove all packing materials from inside of the appliance.
  • Prepare special salt (water softener).
  • Pour water into the special salt dispenser and then add about 1.5 kg of special salt (dishwasher salt).
  • Pour rinse aid into the dispenser.

The importance of water descaling

A dishwasher requires soft water (with low calcium content) to oper-ate efficiently. Otherwise, white residue main remain on the dishes and inside the appliance. This has a negative impact on the quality of dish-washing, rinsing and drying. When the water flows through the softener, ions responsible for the water hardness are removed, and the water becomes soft, for best dishwashing results. Depending on the degree of water hardness, the ions responsible for water hardness accumulate quickly inside the water softener. Therefore, the water softener must be regenerated to operate with the same efficiency during the next wash. This is why special salt is used in the dishwasher.

Add special salt

  • Only use special salt intended for dishwashers.
  • Any other type of salt that is not intended for use in a dishwasher, espe-cially regular kitchen salt, will damage the water softener. In the event of damage caused by the use of the wrong salt, the manufacturer’s war-ranty is void and we will not be liable for damage.
  • Fill with special salt before running the washing programme.
  • This will prevent spilled special salt or salty water from remaining on the bottom of the device, which may cause corrosion.Amica-EGSP-14797-1-E-Dishwasher-FIG-5
  1. Remove the lower basket from the appliance and unscrew the special salt dispenser cap.
  2. Place the end of the funnel (included) in the hole and pour about 1.5 kg of salt.
  3. Pour water into the dispenser until full. It is normal that a small amount of water spills out of the special salt dispenser.
  4. After you fill the dispenser, screw the cap on.
  5. When you fil the dispenser with special salt, the add salt indicator goes out.
  6. Start the washing programme immediately after filling the dispenser with special salt (the quick wash is recommended). Otherwise, salty water can damage the filters, the pump or other important appliance components This is not covered by the warranty.

NOTE:

  • Fill the special salt dispenser when the special salt indicator (Amica-EGSP-14797-1-E-Dishwasher-FIG-6 ) on the control panel lights up. Depending on the rate of salt dissolution, the special salt indicator may still be on even after filling the dispens-er.
  • If there is no special salt indicator on the control panel (on some models), you can estimate when to top up the dispenser based on the number of wash cycles performed.
  • If some special salt spills, run the soaking programme or a quick wash program.
  • Use only the special salt intended for dishwashers!

The test strip

The dishwashing effectiveness is linked to water hardness. Therefore, the appliance is equipped with a system to reduce the hardness of the water supply. The dishwashing effectiveness is improved when the system is set correctly. To check water hardness contact the municipal water company or determined the water hardness using test strip (if available).Amica-EGSP-14797-1-E-Dishwasher-FIG-7

Multi-component (multitab) detergents (eg. 2-in-1, 3-in-1, etc.)

There are three types of detergents:

  1. Containing phosphates and chlorine,
  2. Containing phosphates and no chlorine,
  3. Containing no phosphates and no chlorine.
  • The latest tablets are generally phosphate-free. Since phosphates have water softening properties, we recommend adding salt to the container even if the water hardness is only 6°dH. If you use phosphate-free de-tergent where water is hard, white residue may be visible on the dishes.
  • You can prevent this by increasing the amount of detergent. Chlorine-free detergents have less bleaching effect. Stains may not be entirely removed. Select the program with a higher wash temperature. Generally, using multi-component detergents suitable results are obtained only under certain conditions. Such detergents contain rinse aid and/or special salt in a specific amount. It is recommended to use special salt when using multi-component tablets.
  • What you should pay attention to when using these tablets.
  • Always check the type of detergent used and whether it is a mul-ti-component product.
  • Make sure that the detergent used is appropriate for tap water hard-ness.
  • Follow the instructions on the product packaging.
  • If the detergent is in the form of tablets, never place it the cutlery basket. Always place the tablet in the detergent dispenser compart-ment.
  • The use of these detergents yields good results only in certain appli-cations. Using this type of detergent you should contact the manu-facturer for information about proper use.
  • If you use the detergent properly and dishwasher settings are correct you can save on salt and/or rinse aid.
  • If dishwashing results while using 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 detergents are not satisfactory (traces of lime scale on the dishes), please contact the detergent manufacturer. The warranty does not cover complaints due to the use of multi-component detergents.
  • Recommended use: For best results using multi-component cleaning agents, add special salt and rinse aid in the dishwasher and set the water hardness and amount of rinse aid to the lowest setting.
  • The solubility of the detergent tablets made by different manufacturers can vary with regard to temperature and time. It is therefore not recom-
    mended to use detergent tablets in quick programmes. It is recommend-ed to use powder detergents in quick programmes.
  • Always store detergents in a dry, cool place, out of reach of children. Add detergent to the dispenser immediately before using the appliance.
  • Warning: If encounter another problem when using a multi-component detergent, please contact the detergent manufacturer.

Stop using multi-component detergents

  • Add special salt and rinse aid to dispensers.
  • Set the water hardness to the highest level (6) and run an empty dishwasher.
  • Adjust the water hardness.
  • Adjust rinse aid setting.
  • Warning: Use only rinse aid designed for domestic dishwashers. Wipe up spilled rinse aid with a cloth as it will cause the formation of large amounts of foam, and thus will reduce the dishwashing effectiveness.

  • The filter system at the bottom of the dishwasher compartment stops coarse residue during wash cycle. This residue can cause clogging of the
    filters. Regularly check the condition of the filters and rinse them under running water, if necessary. Clean the filters as follows.Amica-EGSP-14797-1-E-Dishwasher-FIG-28
  1. Hold the strainer and turn it counter clockwise to unscrew. Lift the filter up and remove it from the dishwasher.
  2. The fine filter can be removed from the bottom of the filter assem-bly. The strainer can be disengaged from the main filter by gently squeezing the edges and pulling.Amica-EGSP-14797-1-E-Dishwasher-FIG-29
  3. Larger residues can be rinsed under running water. Clean the filter completely with a soft, clean brush.
  4. Install the filters in reverse order, place the filter insert and turn clockwise as indicated by the arrow.

WARNING: Do not overtighten the filters. Carefully replace the filters and install in place. Otherwise, contaminants can enter the dishwasher’s systems and cause clogging.
NEVER: use the dishwasher without the filter assembly. Incorrect filter replacement can reduce the appliance effectiveness and cause damage to the dishes and cutlery.

Clean the dishwasher
Frost protection In winter, the dishwasher must be protected against freezing tempera-ture. After each wash:

  1. Disconnect the dishwasher from power.
  2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet hose from the water valve.
  3. Drain the water from the inlet hose and the water valve. (Collect the water in a bowl)
  4. Reconnect the water inlet hose to the water valve.
  5. Remove the filter and use a sponge to collect the water from the bot-tom of the dishwasher.

After each wash

  • After each wash, close the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly ajar, so that moisture and odours are not trapped inside.

Unplug the appliance

  • Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet before any cleaning and main-tenance.
  • Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents.
  • Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents to clean the outer parts and the rubber seals of the dishwasher. Use only cloths and warm soapy water.
  • To remove stains from the inside use a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar or cleaning detergent intended specifically for dishwashers.

If the dishwasher is not used for a long time

  • It is recommended to run the washing programme with an empty dish-washer, then unplug the appliance from power, close the water supply and leave the door slightly ajar. This protects the gaskets and prevents the formation of unpleasant odours in the appliance.

Move the appliance

  • If the appliance needs to be moved, try to keep it in an upright position. If absolutely unavoidable, you can rest the appliance on the back wall.
