BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR DISHWASHER

Before connecting your dishwasher to the power supply, check that the voltage stated on the rating label of your appliance corresponds to the voltage in your home. The appliance must be grounded. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages that may occur as a result of usage without grounding.

WARNING: Disconnect electrical power before installing your dishwasher.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Your dishwasher can be installed in various locations in your kitchen as long as there is space and accessibility to connect your dishwasher to the water/ drainage and electrical supply. Do not connect an extension lead to the appliance to avoid potential safety hazards. Cold Water Connection The installation of the hose should be done by professionals. Connect the supplied water supply hose to a threaded 3/4” 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. This precaution is needed to avoid the risk of the water inlet to be blocked and damage the appliance. Connection of the Drain Hose Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4 cm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. The height of drain pipe must be less than 1000mm. The free end of the hose must not be immersed in water to avoid the back flow of it. Please securely fix the drain hose in either position A or position B. The installation of the hose should be done by professionals.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always switch off and unplug the appliance before cleaning. To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components,do not use a spray cleaner of any kind. Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they may scratch the finish. Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of clean water and detergent (underpressure) against the soiled surface of dishes. The water is pumped through a rotating spray arm, drained through a filter removing food and soiled particles and pumped back through the spray arm. Soiled water is pumped out and replaced with clean water at the end of each cycle (the number of times depends on the cycle being used). NOTE: Hard water conditions will adversely affect wash ability performance of your dishwasher. Hard water conditions will also contribute to "Lime" (white film substance) deposits and/or"Scaling" on the stainless steel surface of the dishwasher tub and heater element located in the sump underneath the removable filter screen. To minimise these conditions, it is recommended to periodically operate/ rinse the inside of the dishwasher (empty) using 1 cup of white vinegar (at least once a week). Cleaning the door and the door seal Clean the door seals regularly with a soft damp cloth to remove food deposits. When the dishwasher is being loaded, food and drink residues may drip onto the sides of the dishwasher door. These surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not accessed by water from the spray arms. Any deposits should be wiped off before the door is closed. Cleaning the control panel If cleaning is required, the control panel should be wiped with a soft damp cloth only.

Cleaning the filtering system The filtering system in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse debris from the washing cycle. The collected coarse debris may cause the filters to clog. Check the condition of the filters regularly and clean them if necessary under running water. Follow the steps below to clean the filters in the wash cabinet. Coarse filter Main filter Open Fine filter

1. Hold the coarse filter and rotate it

anticlockwise to unlock the filter. Lift the filter upwards and out of the dishwasher.

2. Pull the fine filter off the filter assembly.

Detach the coarse filter from the main filter by gently squeezing the tabs at the top and pulling it away.

3. Rinse the filters under running

water. For a more thorough clean, use a soft cleaning brush.

4. Reassemble the filters, replace the

filter insert, and rotate clockwise to the close arrow. WARNINGS! . Do not over tighten the filters. Put the filters back in sequence securely, otherwise coarse debris could get into the system and cause a blockage.

• Never use the dishwasher without filters in place. Improper replacement

of the filters may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils. Cleaning the spray arms It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly, otherwise hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings. To clean the spray arms, follow the instructions below:

1. To remove the upper spray

arm,hold the nut in the centre still and rotate the spray arm anticlockwise to remove it

lower spray arm, pull out the spray arm upward.

2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from

3. Drain the water from the inlet pipe and water valve (Use a pan to

4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.

5. Remove the filter at the bottom of the tub and use a sponge to soak

up water in the sump.

After every wash After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly open so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside. No solvents or abrasive cleaning 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 cloth d ampened with water an a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers. When not in use for a long time It is recommend that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the mains 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 odors from forming within the appliance. Moving the appliance If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back. Cleaning the seals One of the factors that cause odours to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.
