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.

Connecting to the Mains Water Supply

Inlet hose (Cold water supply)

The water inlet hose from the machine terminates in a 3/4" female connector. The water supply should therefore terminate in a similar male connector and should have a stopcock close by in the pipe.

Connect the straight connector of the inlet hose to the water supply securely ensuring that the washers are securely in place at both ends of the hose.

Water Pressure

For best operating results, incoming water pressure should be between 0.04 MPa and 1MPa. Incoming water supply for the dishwasher is controlled by a 'pressure switch', so if the household water pressure is low, dishwasher fill time will increase or may not operate.

WARNING: Please close the hydrant after using.

Connecting to the water outlet

Insert the drain hose into a drainage pipe.

Attach the drain hose to the wall using the supplied U-bend fitting.

The end of the hose should be dropped into a drainage pipe, the height of which should be from 500mm to 1100 mm above the base of the dishwasher.

To allow for an air gap around the end of the drain hose, the diameter of the drainage pipe should be at least 40 mm.

max 1100 mm min 120 mm min 40 mm min 500 mm

If leaks are detected, immediately shut the water supply and check the hose connections fully.

Re-tighten the connections if necessary.

If for any reason you are unable to stop the leak yourself please seek advice from a qualified plumber.

Levelling

Place the dishwasher on an even, stable surface.

It is very important that the dishwasher is perfectly levelled in order to avoid it to malfunction. You can level the dishwasher by adjusting the feet at the base of the appliance.

Operation

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of clean water and detergent (under pressure) 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 (how many times depends on the cycle being used).

NOTE:

Hard water conditions will adversely affect washability 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).

General Warnings and Recommendations

Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the following recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading.

Before loading the dishes into the baskets it is necessary to:

- Remove coarse food remains, e.g. bones, which may clog the filter or damage the wash pump.

- Soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom then load them into the basket.

There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before loading them into the basket.

WARNINGS:

• Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot tip over or obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the washing cycle.
• Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be loaded with the opening facing downwards and with any cavities at an angle, to allow the water to drain out.
• Do not stack dishes.
• Do not place glasses too close together because they may knock against each other and break.
• Load large items which are most difficult to clean into the lower basket.
• Make sure that the items being washed are dishwasher-safe.

Items which are not dishwasher-safe:

• Wooden dishes, pots or pans
• Handcrafted items
• Plastic dishes (except when marked dishwasher-safe)
• Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass
• Aluminium dishes
  • Silverware
• Glass and crystal
• Decorated items

Loading the Baskets

Loading the upper and lower baskets

The upper basket is designed to hold delicate and light items such as glasses, cups, saucers, serving bowls and shallow pans.

The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.

Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn freely.

Arrange items so that water can reach all surfaces.

Using the Water Softener

The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will be formed on the utensils. This appliance is equipped with a water softener which uses a salt specifically designed to eliminate the minerals from the water.

CAUTION:

• Only use salt specially formulated for domestic dishwashers.
• Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which may damage the water softening system.
• Fill the salt container before starting the washing programme. In this way, the excess saline solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion.
• If you plan to use dishwasher tablets for your washing needs, then you do not require to use salt or rinse agent but please note that the refill salt indicator light will remain illuminated on the control panel. This is quite normal and will not affect the operation of your dishwasher.
