FIRST TIME USE

Before using your dishwasher for the first time, fill the rinse aid and detergent dispenser. Rinse Aid Dispenser - The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to roll off the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to the detergent dispenser. To fill the dispenser, open the cap and pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator turns completely black. The volume of the rinse aid container is about 110ml.

NOTE - It is strongly recommended to only use rinse aid specifically designed for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other liquid or substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent, etc.). This could damage the appliance.

Refilling the rinse aid dispenser - If there is no rinse aid warning light on the control panel, you can judge the amount of rinse aid by the colour of the optical level indicator (Refer to Fig.2 Page 7 C) located next to the rinse aid cap. When the rinse aid container is full, the whole indicator will be dark. As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the dark dot decreases. It is not recommended to let the rinse aid get below 1/4 full.

RINSE AID & DETERGENT DISPENSER

As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below.

Attention: Clean up any rinse aid spill during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.

ADJUSTING RINSE AID DISPENSER

Fig.4

The rinse aid dispenser has six settings. Always start with the dispenser set on "4". If spots and poor drying are a problem, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by removing the dispenser lid and rotating the dial to increase the rinse aid indicator until dishes are spot-free. Refer to Fig.4. The factory and recommended setting is "4".

NOTE:

Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing.

Reduce it if there are sticky whitish stains on your dishes or a bluish film on glassware or cutlery.

FUNCTION OF DETERGENT

Detergents with its chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt and transport it out of the dishwasher. Most of the commercial quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.

DETERGENTS

There are 3 types of detergents:

1. With both phosphate and chlorine
2. With phosphate and without chlorine
3. Without both phosphate and chlorine

Normally, modern pulverised detergents do not contain phosphate. Because of this, the water softener function of phosphate is less effective. In this case, we recommend filling the salt container with salt when the hardness of the water is 6 dH or greater. In the case where the detergent is without phosphate and is washed in hard water, white spots may appear on dishes and glassware. When this occurs, it is recommended to add more detergent to achieve better results. Detergents without chlorine, may bleach a little. Strong and coloured spots may not be removed completely. In this case, it is recommended to choose a program with a higher temperature.

CONCENTRATED DETERGENTS

Based on their chemical composition, detergents can be split in two basic types:

• Conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components
• Low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes

The use of normal washing programs in combination with concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; these wash programs are specifically matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For this reason, normal wash programs in which concentrated detergents are used, can achieve the same results that can otherwise only be achieved using intensive programs.

DETERGENT TABLETS

Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason, some detergent tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programs. Therefore, it is recommended to use long programs when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.

DETERGENT DISPENSER

The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the wash cycle table. Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid than Conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. More heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.

AMOUNT OF DETERGENT TO USE

B - Location for pre-wash cycle detergent.

Please check and follow the recommended dosage and storage instructions as stated on the detergent packaging.

Close the lid and press until it locks in place.

If the dishes are heavily soiled, place an additional detergent dose in the pre-wash detergent chamber.

This detergent will take effect during the pre-wash phase of the wash cycle.

Fig.6

NOTE

• You can find information about the amount of detergent for each program on page 12 of this manual.
• Please be aware that soiling levels and water hardness can effect wash results.
• Please observe the directions and recommendations found on the chosen detergent packaging.

LOADING THE DISHWASHER

RECOMMENDATIONS

• Consider buying dishes, glassware, mugs, cups, cutlery, etc. which are identified as dishwasher-proof or dishwasher-safe.
• Use a mild detergent that is described as ‘kind to dishes’. If necessary, seek further information from the detergent manufacturers.
• For particularly delicate or thin items, select a program with as low a wash temperature as possible. Refer to Page 12.
• To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately after the program has ended.

NOT SUITABLE FOR DISH WASHING

• Cutlery with wooden, horn china or mother of pearl handles.
• Plastic items that are not heat resistant.
• Older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature resistant.
• Bonded cutlery items or dishes
• Pewter or cooper items
• Crystal glass
  • Steel items subject to rusting
• Wooden platters
• Items made from synthetic fi bres

LIMITED DISHWASHER SUITABILITY

• Some types of glasses can become dull after a large number of washes.
  • Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing.
• Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently.

ATTENTION: BEFORE & AFTER LOADING BASKETS

(For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines.

Features and appearance of baskets and cutlery baskets may vary from your model.) Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water.

Place objects in the dishwasher in the following way:

1. Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are faced downwards.
2. Curved or items with recesses, should be loaded on a slant so that water can run off.
3. All utensils are stacked securely and can not tip over.
4. All utensils are placed in a way that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.

NOTE - Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the basket.

• Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. with the opening facing downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
• Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
• To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
• Load large items which are most difficult to clean into the lower basket.
• The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups.
• Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard.
• Long and/or sharp items of cutlery, such as carving knives, must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.

REMOVING THE DISHES

To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower basket, it is recommended that you empty the lower basket first and then the upper baskets.

LOADING UPPER BASKET

The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups, saucers, plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty).

Position the dishes and cookware so that they will not get moved by water spray.

LOADING LOWER BASKET

It is suggested that you place large items and the most diffi cult to clean items to be placed into the lower basket: such as pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls. Refer to Fig.8 below.

It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.

REMINDER

• Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed top down.
• Deep pots should be slanted to allow water to flow out.
• The bottom basket features folding tines so that larger or more pots and pans can be loaded into the lower basket.

ADDING ADDITIONAL ITEMS

Items can be added at any time to a wash that has begun. It is not recommended, however, to add items once the detergent has been released into the wash cycle. The additional items will not receive the minimum required detergent for a complete clean.

To add items once a wash cycle has started:

1. Press the Start/Pause button.
2. Slightly open the door (<50mm) and wait for the dishwasher to stop.
3. Once the wash arms have come to a complete stop, open the door completely.
4. Add the additional items to the top or bottom baskets.
5. Close the dishwasher door.
6. Press the Start/Pause button. The wash cycle will resume after 10 seconds.

AT THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE

When the wash cycle has finished, the buzzer will sound for 8 seconds, then stop.

1. Press the power button to switch off the dishwasher
2. Shut off the water supply
3. Open the dishwasher door. Wait for a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid handling the dishes and utensils while they are still hot and more susceptible to breakage. This will assist in the drying process.
4. Switch off the dishwasher at the mains power source.
5. Carefully open the door completely.

NOTE: Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down for aprox. 15 minutes before removing from the dishwasher baskets.

1. Unload the dishwasher. It is normal to find the dishwasher is wet inside.

Empty the lower basket first and then the upper basket. This will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower basket.

CAUTION

Be very careful when opening the dishwasher door during a wash cycle as hot water and steam may cause injury or burns.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

FILTERING SYSTEM

The filter prevents larger remnants of food or other objects from getting inside the pump. The residues may block the filter, in this case they must be removed.

The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (main filter) and a micro filter (fine filter).

Fig.13

1. MAIN FILTER

Food and dirt particles trapped in this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the lower spray arm and washed down the drain.

2. COARSE FILTER

This fi Iter is designed for larger debris, such as bone pieces or food scraps, that could block the drain. To remove the items that become trapped in the course fi Iter, gently squeeze the tap on the top of this fi Iter and lift out.

3. FINE FILTER

This filter collects dirt and food residues in the sump area and prevent it from returning to the dishes during wash cycles.

FILTER ASSEMBLY

The filter efficiency removes food particles from the water during a wash, allowing the water to be recycled during a cycle. For best performance and results, the filter must be cleaned regularly. For this reason, it is recommended to remove the larger food particles trapped in the filter after each wash by rinsing the semicircular filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter, pull the cup handle in an upward direction.

Fig.14

Two technical diagrams showing a mechanical component with open and closed states, no text or symbols present.

WARNING

• The dishwasher must never be used without the filters.
• Improper replacement of the fil ters may reduce the performance of the dishwasher and damage dishes and utensils.

Step 1

Turn the fi Iter in an anti clockwise direction.

Step 2

Lift the fi Iter in an upward direction.

NOTE

To replace the filter after maintenance, lower the filter into place and turn in a clockwise direction to lock in place.

• Inspect the filters for blockages after each use.
• By unscrewing the coarse filter, you can remove the filter system. Remove any food scraps and debris by cleaning the filters under running water.

The entire filter assembly should be checked regularly and cleaned once a week.

CLEANING THE FILTER

To clean the coarse and fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Reassemble the filter parts (refer to page 14) and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning it in place and pressing downwards.

NOTE: When cleaning the filters, avoid knocking and abrasive action as this could cause the filter to become distorted and effect the performance of the filter and the dishwasher.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

The control panel can be cleaned by using a lightly damp cloth. After wiping down, ensure to dry thoroughly.

To clean the exterior cabinet, use a good appliance polish. Be sure to follow directions on the polish packaging. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

Fig.15

Metallic electronic component with internal structure and mounting holes, no visible text or symbols

To clean the edge around the door, you should only use a soft, warm and damp cloth.

To avoid penetration of water into the door lock (refer to Fig.15) and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.

WINTER MAINTENANCE

In extremely cold and frosty environments, please follow these steps to protect your dishwasher:

1. When not using the dishwasher, disconnect the mains power from the wall socket.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3. Drain the water from the inlet pipe and valve. (Use a pan or bucket to gather water).
4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
5. Remove the filter at the bottom tub and use a sponge to soak up water in the sump.

NOTE: If your dishwasher does not work due to ice, please contact TECO service.

CAUTION

Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel as it may damage the door lock and electrical components.

Abrasive agents or some paper towels should not be used because of the risk of scratching or leaving spots or streaks on the stainless steel surface.

SPRAY ARM MAINTENANCE

It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly as hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings. To remove the upper spray arm, hold the nut, rotate the arm clockwise to remove it.

To remove the lower spray arm, pull out the spray arm upward. Wash the arms in warm and soapy water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing them thoroughly.

Fig.16

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

AFTER EACH WASH

After every wash, turn off the water supply to the dishwasher and leave the door slightly open so that moisture and odours are not trapped inside.

REMOVE THE PLUG

Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the power plug from the mains wall socket.

NO SOLVENTS OR ABRASIVE CLEANERS To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Only use a cloth with warm soapy water. To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a damp cloth with water and a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.

WHEN NOT USED FOR LONG PERIODS It is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the power plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly open. This will help the door seals to last longer and prevent odours from forming within the dishwasher.

MOVING THE DISHWASHER

If the dishwasher must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.

SEALS

One of the factors that cause odours to form in the dishwasher, is food that remain trapped in the seals.

Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.

INSTALLATION

POSITIONING THE DISHWASHER

Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or walls. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned either to the right or the left sides to facilitate proper installation.

LEVELLING THE DISHWASHER

Once the appliance is positioned for levelling, the height of the dishwasher may be altered via adjustment of the screwing level of the feet. In any case, the appliance should not be inclined more than 2.

POWER CONNECTION (CONT.)

CHECK DISHWASHER IS PROPERLY GROUNDED BEFORE USE

Ensure the voltage and frequency of the power being supplied corresponds to those on the rating plate. Only insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthed properly. This dishwasher is designed to operate on a single phase power supply within a voltage range of 220\~240V/50Hz. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified ed persons in order to avoid a hazard.

POWER CONNECTION - GROUNDING

This appliance must be earthed. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, earthing will reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a power cord with an equipment-earthing conductor and an earthing plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is installed and earthed in accordance with local standards and requirements.

WARNING

• Improper connection of the equipment earthing conductor may increase the risk of an electric shock.
• Check with a qualified electrician or TECO service if you have any doubt about the electrical safety of power source or power plug.
• Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If the plug does not fit properly in the outlet, please consult a qualified electrician.

WATER CONNECTION

CONNECTING THE SAFETY SUPPLY HOSE (AQUA-STOP)

The appliance must be connected to the water mains using a new hose set. An old hose set should not be reused.

Water pressure must be between 0.04 MPa and 1 MPa.

If the pressure is below the minimum requirement, please consult your local water supplier, authorised plumber or TECO service department

Illustration of a hand using a tool to adjust or install a mechanical component (no text or symbols)

Step 1

Pull the Aqua-stop completely out from storage compartment located at rear of the dishwasher.

Step 2

Tighten the screws of the Aqua-stop hose to the faucet with 19mm (3/4inch) thread.

Step 3

Turn on the water to full before starting the dishwasher.

AQUA-STOP HOSE

The Aqua-stop hose consists of double walls. The hose system guarantees its intervention by blocking the flow of water in cases where the supply hose breaks or when the space between the supply hose itself and the outer corrugated hose is full of water.

DISCONNECTING THE AQUA-STOP HOSE

Step 1

Turn off the water at the source.

Step 2

Release the water pressure by depressing the hose slightly.

Step 3

Unscrew the Aqua-stop hose from the faucet.

COLD WATER CONNECTION

Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 19mm (3/4 inch) connector and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place. If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run, to make sure that the water is clear and free of impurities. This is done to prevent the water inlet from blockages and damage to the dishwasher.

DRAIN HOSE CONNECTION

Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 40mm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. The hose must not be raised above 1m.

Choose either method A or B (refer to Fig.19) to connect the drain hose.

Fig.17

DRAINING EXCESS WATER

If the sink is greater than 1m high off the floor, the excess water in the hoses cannot be drained directly into the sink. It will be necessary to drain excess water from the hoses into a bowl or suitable container that is held outside and lower than the sink.

WATER OUTLET

Connect the water drain hose. The drain hose must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks. Ensure that the water drain hose is not kinked or squashed.

EXTENSION HOSE

If you need a drain hose extension, make sure to use a similar drain hose.

It must be no longer than 4m; otherwise the cleaning effect of the dishwasher could be reduced.

SYPHON CONNECTION

Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 40mm, or let it run into a sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. The top of the hose must be less than 1m from the floor.

BEFORE USE CHECKLIST
