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

CARING FOR THE DISHWASHER
FROST PRECAUTION
Please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in the winter. After every
wash cycle, 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 dishwasher 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 odours 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 LONGTIME
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
odours 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.

WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN
COLD WATER CONNECTION
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.
ABOUT THE SAFETY SUPPLY HOSE
The safety supply hose consists of the double walls. The hose’s 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 sink spray 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
1. Pull The safety supply hoses completely out from storage compartment located at
rear of dishwasher.
2. Tighter the screws of the safety supply hose to the faucet with thread 3/4inch.
3. Turn water fully on before starting the dishwasher.
HOW TO DISCONNECT THE SAFETY SUPPLY HOSE
1. Turn off the water.
2. 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 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 100cm. The free end of the hose must not be immersed in
water to avoid the back flow of it.

HOW TO DRAIN EXCESS WATER FROM HOSES
If the sink is higher than 100cm from the floor, the excess water in hoses cannot be
drained 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.
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 4 metres; otherwise the cleaning effect of the dishwasher could
be reduced.
