1. The list of options is provided by views display type `Entity reference` (ER). So you need to create it at first to use. The type of the base entity in the view must be the same as for the filter field in your view where you want to use it.
2. Go to your view filters options and try to add a filter. The filter supporting the feature will be with suffix `(entityreference filter)` and select it. If it its exposed you will see the options, if not hence not.
3. To make one ER filter dependent on another use `Arguments for view` in the filter settings.
your second field must be entity reference filter too as the first field and it's argument settings must receive argument as field name like [field_manufacturer] (look at placeholders and arguments field description).
The view used by the second field itself must have a context filter to filter out options to receive your first field value as argument. If not, then the list won't be updated like shown in the gif.
Where to read documentation about contextual filter settings for this module? There is no readme. Do you have a working live example, https://simplytest.me/ maybe? An exported view, anything?

matas.k commentedSeems like it works only if Exposed Filters are Referenced Entity fields only, then the dropdown select list becomes available.
So I'm not sure I understand, if I want Dynamic Dependent Filters, both filters has to be Referenced Entities?

It works as designed.

matas.k commentedHi @maximkashuba I think I set it all up, but I can't get it working, the filter resets to -Any- and doesn't filter out items.
