Installation instruction
Electrical Shock Hazard!
- Disconnect electrical power before installing dishwasher.
- Failure to do so could result in death or electrical shock.
Attention!
The installation of the pipes and electrical equipments should be done by professionals.
About power connection
WARNING!
For personal safety:
- Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug with this appliance.
- Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the earthing connection from the power cord.
Electrical requirements
Please look at the rating label to know the rating voltage and connect the dishwasher to the appropriate power supply. Use the required fuse 10A/13A/16A, time delay fuse or circuit breaker recommended and provide separate circuit serving only this appliance.
Electrical connection
Ensure the voltage and frequency of the power being corresponds to those on the rating plate. Only insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthed properly. If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace the socket, rather than using a adaptors or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.
WARNING!
Ensure that proper earthing exists before use.
Water supply and drain
Cold water connection
Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 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. This precaution is needed to avoid the risk of the water inlet to be blocked and damage the appliance.
B Product usage
ordinary supply hose
safety supply hose
About the safety supply hose
The safety supply hose consists of the double walls. The system guarantees its intervention by blocking the flow of water in case of the supply hose breaking and when the air space between the supply hose itself and the outer corrugated hose is full of water.
WARNING!
A hose that attaches to a tap can burst if it is installed on the same water line as the dishwasher. If your sink has one, it is recommended that the hose be disconnected and the hole plugged.
How to connect the safety supply hose
- Pull the safety supply hoses out from storage compartment located at rear of dishwasher.
- Tighten the screws of the safety supply hose to the faucet with thread 3/4 inch.
- Turn the water fully on before starting the dishwasher.
How to disconnect the safety supply hose
- Turn off the water.
- Unscrew the safety supply hose from the faucet.
Connection of drain hoses
Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4cm , 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.
WARNING!
Please securely fix the drain hose in either position A or position B.
How to drain excess water from hoses
If the connection to the drain pipe is positioned higher than 1000mm , excess water may remain in the drain hose. It will be necessary to drain excess water from the hose 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 not be longer than 4 meters, otherwise the cleaning effect of the dishwasher could be reduced.
Syphon connection
The waste connection must be at a height less than 1000mm (maximum) from the bottom of the dishwasher.
Positioning the appliance
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 appliance
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^ .
B Product usage
Free standing installation
Step 1. Fitting between existing carbenets
The height of the dishwasher, 845mm , has been designed in order to allow the machine to be fitted between existing cabinets of the same height in modern fitted kitchens.
The laminated top of the machine does not require any particular care since it is heatproof, scratchproof and stainproof.
Step 2. Underneath existing work top
(When fitting beneath a work top)
In most modern fitted kitchens there is only one single work top under which cabinets and electrical appliances are fitted. In this case remove the work top of the dishwasher by unscrewing the screws under the rear edge of the top (a).
Attention!
After removing the work top, the screws must be screwed again under the rear edge of the top [b].
B Product usage
Selecting the best location for the dishwasher
The installation position of the dishwasher should be near the existing inlet and drain hose and power socket.
Illustrations of cabinet dimensions and installation position of the dishwasher.
- Less than 5mm between the top of dishwasher and cabinet and the outer door aligned to cabinet.
- If dishwasher is installed at the corner of the cabinet, there should be some space when the door is opened.
NOTE:
Depending on where your electrical outlet is, you may need to cut a hole in the opposite cabinet side.
Before using your dishwasher
- Set the water softener
- Loading the salt Into the softener
- Loading the basket
- Fill the detergent dispenser
NOTE:
Please check the section "Water Softener", if you need to set the water softener.
Loading the salt into the softener
NOTE:
If your model does not have any water softener, you may skip this section.
Always use salt intended for dishwasher use.
- The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as explained in the following:
WARNING!
Only use salt specifically designed for dishwashers use!
Every other type of salt not specifically designed for dishwasher use, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. In case of damages caused by the use of unsuitable salt the manufacturer does not give any warranty nor is liable for any damages caused.
Only fill with salt before running a cycle.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
B Product usage
Please follow the steps below for adding dishwasher salt:
- Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.
- Place the end of the funnel (if supplied) into the hole and pour in about 1.5kg of dishwasher salt.
- Fill the salt container to its maximum limit with water, It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container.
- After filling the container, screw back the cap tightly.
- The salt warning light will turn off after the salt container has been filled with salt.
- Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing program should be started (We suggest to use a short program). Otherwise the filter system, pump or other important parts of the machine may be damaged by salty water. This is out of warranty.
NOTE:
- The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light (三) in the control panel comes on. Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be on even though the salt container is filled. If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (for some models), you can estimate when to fill the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher has run.
If salt has spilled, run a soak or quick program to remove it.

Maintenance and cleaning
External Care
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.
The control panel
If cleaning is required, the control panel should be wiped with a soft damp cloth only.
WARNING!
- 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. Some paper towels may also scratch or leave marks on the surface.
Internal Care
Filtering system
The filtering system in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse debris from the washing cycle, including foreign objects such as tooth picks or shards. The collected coarse debris may cause the filters to clog. Check the condition of the filters regularly, carefully remove foreign objects and clean the parts of the filtering system if necessary with water. Follow the steps below to clean the filter.
NOTE:
Pictures are only for reference, different models of the filtering system and spray arms may be different.
- Hold the coarse filter and rotate it anticlockwise to unlock the filter. Lift the filter upwards and out of the dishwasher.
- The fine filter can be pulled off the bottom of the filter assembly. The coarse filter can be detached from the main filter by gently squeezing the tabs at the top and pulling it away.
- Larger food remnants can be cleaned by rinsing the filter under running water. For a more thorough clean, use a soft cleaning brush.
- Reassemble the filters in the reverse order of the disassembly, replace the filter insert, and rotate clockwise to the close arrow.
WARNING!
- 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 filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.
Spray arms
It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly for hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings.
To clean the spray arms, follow the instructions below:
- To remove the upper spray arm, hold the nut in the center still and rotate the spray arm counterclockwise to remove it.
C Cleaning and maintenance
- To remove the lower spray arm, pull out the spray arm upward.
- Wash the arms in soapy and warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets.
Caring For The Dishwasher
Frost precaution
Please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in winter. Every time after washing cycles, please operate as follows:
- Cut off the electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source.
- Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
- Drain the water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to gather the water)
- Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
- 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 for a while so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside.
Remove the plug
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket.
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 dampened with water and 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 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.
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.
