INSTALLATION

1. Please ensure the dishwasher is installed by a
qualified technician. Refer to the tools required.
Location
When selecting a position for your dishwasher you
should make sure the installation surface is flat
and firm, and the room is well ventilated. Avoid
locating your dishwasher near a heat source, e.g.
cooker, boiler or radiator. Extreme cold ambient
temperatures may also cause the appliance not to
perform properly. This dishwasher is not designed
for use in a garage or outdoor installation.
Do not drape the dishwasher with any covering.
When installing, ensure that free space is left at the
sides.
2. Ensure there is sufficient clearance on each side
of the unit to allow slight sideways movement
for servicing when required. Good levelling is
essential for correct closure and sealing of the
door. When the unit is correctly levelled, the
door should not catch the inner liner on either
side of the cabinet. The adjustable feet may be
loosened or tightened in order to obtain the
optimum levelling of the unit.

4. Do not connect the unit to the mains socket
before installation. Ensure you are not installing
the unit right in front of the mains socket. This
is to avoid potential damage to the back of the
unit.
5. The condensation strip must be fitted to the
underside of the worktop above your dishwasher
to help protect it against, and reduce potential
liability moisture. Its purpose is to protect your
worktop’s underside from steam rising from the
dishwasher.
Remove the backing paper from the
condensation strip.
Ensure the surface is clean prior to
sticking the condensation strip to
the underside of the worktop.
Leave some space
Stick the Condensation
Strip under the worktop,
where you want to
install the dishwasher.
6. Stick the condensation strip to the underside of
the worktop.
Failure to attach the condensation
strip could result in damage to the
underside of your worktop!
INSTALLATION

7. Position the dishwasher next to a water tap and
a drain. Ensure the water inlet and drain hoses
are not kinked or squashed. The unit must not
stand on the mains cable.
8. To secure the dishwasher under the table top,
tighten the screws through the sides of the unit
into the adjoining cabinetry.

shown on the Door Template.
INSTALLATION

water pressure from the water mains needs to
be at a minimum of 0.04 MPa and a maximum of
1.00 MPa.
• Connect one end of the water supply hose to
your dishwasher, and then connect the other
end of the hose to your water mains. Please
ensure the black rubber seal is in place.

To Close the Door
• After loading the dishes, push the baskets fully into the dishwasher.
• Lift the door upwards and push until it clicks into position.
• Do not slam the dishwasher door.
Items Not Suitable for Use in the Dishwasher
When purchasing new crockery and cutlery, please make sure they are dishwasher-proof. Some items are
not suitable for dishwashers.
• Wooden cutlery and crockery or items with wooden parts may discolour and fade. The glue used in
these items is not dishwasher-proof and wooden handles may come loose after being washed in a
dishwasher.
• Craft items, antiques, valuable vases and decorative glassware are also not suitable for dishwashers.
• Plastic items (e.g. tupperware) which are not heat resistant may melt or loose shape due to the high
temperature in the dishwasher.
• Copper, brass, tin and aluminium items may discolour or become matt.
• Clouding may occur on glasses and delicate glassware after frequent washing. Do not wash delicate
glassware or glassware containing lead crystal, in a dishwasher. Wash delicate glassware by hand
instead.
• Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing. Residues like egg white, egg
yolk and mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore, please clean the residues
from silver immediately after use.
The following items are not suitable
Towels and sponges
Small plastic items
(Milk bottle nipple)
Plastic items that are
not dishwasher safe
Cast iron pans
Scratched non-stick cookware
Copper pots and pans
Crystal glasses
Silverware

please use no more than the correct amount of detergent. Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent
powder or tablet.
Please follow the steps below to fill the detergent dispenser.
1. Push the button on the lid of the detergent
dispenser in the direction of the arrow until the
flap springs open.

detergent dosage that must be placed in the
pre-wash detergent chamber (please refer to the
wash cycle table). This detergent will take effect
during the pre-wash phase.
4. Close the lid firmly so that it clicks into place.
You can choose to add a detergent tablet
alone or to add detergent powder to both
the main wash detergent chamber and the
pre-wash detergent chamber for your selected
wash cycle.

Adding Rinse Aid
Rinse aid helps to ensure water does not cling and leave marks on crockery during the drying phase and
helps crockery dry faster after it has been washed. Only pour rinse aid that is for domestic dishwashers into
the reservoir. This model is designed to use liquid rinse aids only.
Please follow the steps below to pour the rinse aid into the storage reservoir. The amount will dispense
automatically.
1. Turn the cap and open as indicated.
2. When the cap-open marking is aligned, you
may lift the cap up.
3. Pour the rinse aid in until the level indicator
turns completely black in colour. Close the
cap.
4. Be careful not to overfill the reservoir. Wipe up
any spills.
open
rinse aid indicator
Adjusting the Rinse Aid Reservoir
The rinse aid reservoir has six settings. Both the recommended
setting and the factory setting is “4”. If the dishes are not drying
properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number
until your dishes are spot-free.
• If the water hardness in your area is soft, you may not need rinse aid as it may cause white film to
develop on your dishes.
• If there is some rinse aid residue left on your dishes, please turn the rinse aid dispenser dial to 1.
• If you decide to use a detergent tablet, you do not need to add rinse aid.
• Rinse aid warning light will illuminate when the reservoir is running out of rinse aid and
requires refilling.
• Alternatively, you can judge the amount of rinse aid by checking the rinse aid indicator right
next to the reservoir’s cap. When the indicator is black, it means it is full. When it is clear, it
means it is almost empty.
