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. 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.

NOTE:
Pictures are only for reference,
different models of the filtering
system and spray arms may be
different.
Do not over tighten the filters. Put the filters back in sequence securely, otherwise coarse debris could get into

WARNING

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:
1. Cut off the electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source.
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 water valve. (Use a pan to gather the water)
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.
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 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
The installation of the pipes and electrical equipment’s should be done by professionals.

Insert the drain hose into a drainpipe 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 drainpipe 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
How to drain excess water from hoses

directly into the sink. It will be necessary to drain excess water from hoses into a bowl or
suitable container that is held outside and lower than the sink.
