Installation
IMPORTANT: An electrical supply of 220-240V AC only, 50 Hz is required. For your personal safety, the
appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a 3 pin grounding plug.
To minimize possible shock hazards it must be plugged into a matching 3 pin mains electrical outlet. If the
power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified person in order to reduce the risk or a hazard.
1. Remove all packaging carefully. Ensure that the mains plug is disconnected from the socket before
installation.
2. The minimum height clearance required to install your dishwasher on a countertop surface with overhead
cupboards is 48cm. The dishwasher must be situated on a ‘solid’ level surface. Place the dishwasher
adjacent to a water supply and drain. Make sure there is an electrical supply within reach of the electrical
power cord (max 6 feet). To level the dishwasher, adjust the 4 levelling feet underneath the dishwasher.
3. The water inlet hose from the machines terminates in a ¾” female connector. The water supply should
therefore terminate in a similar male connector and should have a stopcock close by in the pipe. It is
recommended to connect the machine to a hot water supply securely. Connect the other end of the drain
hose to the drain connection at the back of the dishwasher cabinet. Do not over tighten the connection as
this may cause damage to the threads.
4. Make a hooked end at the end of the drain hose with the plastic U-bend fitting (provided). The hooked end
should be dropped into a drainage standpipe between 30cm and 100cm from the floor level. The diameter of
the standpipe should be at least 3cm. Connect the other end of drain hose to the drain connection at the
back of the dishwasher cabinet. Tighten the drain hose end on to the drain port using the metal clip included
in the packaging.
5. Slowly open the water line and check for any signs of leaks. If any leaks are found, immediately shut off
the water supply and check the hose connections fully. Tighten connections if necessary. If you are unable to
stop the leak yourself please contact a qualified plumber.

Alternative Installation
You may be able to connect the water inlet hose to the kitchen tap
if this tap has an external or internal thread.
Connect the water supply hose to a threaded ¾” connector and make
sure that it is secured tightly in place.
IMPORTANT: Once you open the water supply line, (even if it is closed immediately thereafter), the inlet
hose will be pressurized.
Disconnecting Your Dishwasher
1. Close the water supply at the stopcock.
2. Disconnect the power supply from the mains electric power outlet.
3. Disconnect the inlet hose assembly from the water supply.
4. When disposing of any appliances always remove the door and the plug.

Water Pressure
For best operating results, incoming water pressure should be between 0.03 ~1Mpa. It is important to
maintain the water supply. The water inlet hose will be pressurized during the washing cycle.
For Best Results
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot clean water and detergent against the soiled surfaces
of the 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 (the number of times
depends on the programme being used).
For best cleaning results, the water temperature must be at least 45-55 °C. To prevent dishwasher dama ge,
the temperature of the incoming water supply should not exceed 60°C.

Using Your Dishwasher
Ensure that you scrape off all solid food particles from dishes. Remove excessive quantities of oil or grease.
Empty any liquids from glasses and cups.
Please note that dishes with dried-on foods are more difficult to wash and may not come clean in a normal
wash cycle.
IMPORTANT: Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers.
Using the 3 in 1 Program
Your dishwasher has a 3 in 1 program which needs not salt and rinse aid but a 3 In1Dishwasher tablet. This
dishwasher comes with a 3 in 1 tablet container.
Note: Only 3 in 1 program uses 3 in 1 tablet. If using 3 in 1 tablet in other programs, the appliance will not
achieve the best performance.
1. Hang the 3 in 1 tablet container on the basket.
2. Put the 3 in 1 tablet into the container then start the 3 in 1 program.
Using a Rinse Aid Agent
Using a rinse aid can help prevent water marks on dishes and
glassware and also reduce drying time.
A rinse agent is specially formulated to rinse away food
and detergent residues that can be left behind on your
dishes. Used regularly, a rinse agent will automatically provide
you with cleaner dishes every time you wash.
To fill the rinse agent dispenser unscrew the dispenser cap
located on the inner door. Add the rinse agent slowly into the
container until it just reaches the bottom of the filling cap inside
the dispenser opening. Replace the cap.
The dispenser automatically releases the rinse agent into the final rinse water at the end of the wash cycle.
The dispenser holds approximately 100 ml of rinse agent.
How to Use 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 dishes and utensils. This appliance is equipped with a
water softener which uses a salt specifically designed to eliminate
the minerals from the water.
IMPORTANT: Only dishwasher salt can be used in this appliance.
How to Load the Salt into the Softener
●To unscrew the cap from the softener turn in an anti-clockwise direction, the salt container is located on the
right hand side of the inner tub.
●When filling for the first time pour half a pint of water in to the salt container.
●Load 500g of salt into the salt container. This will last for approximately 30 full wash loads.
●Fill the salt into the salt container until a small amount of water comes out. This is very important when
you use the dishwasher for the first time. When you have added all the 500 grams of salt and water still does
not come out add a little more water. The salt indicator light will go out after a few wash cycles.
●Screw the cap back carefully.
Please Note: Load the salt before the beginning of wash cycle so as to prevent corrosion to the tub.
Using the Intensive Wash Program
The Intensive wash feature gives you the option of washing and drying dishes at very high water
temperatures. When activated, the intensive wash feature energizes a heating element that will raise and
maintain the internal water temperature of the dishwasher at 69ºC.

delay the start for 1 hour.
IMPORTANT
Do not open the door when dishwasher is running. The door could be allowed to open after pressing the
pause button.
At the beginning of each cycle, the dishwasher always starts in the “drain” mode. This is because the drain
pump always retains a small amount of water (in the sump) from the previous cycle. This is necessary to
keep the pump primed. Therefore, do not be alarmed if you see a small amount of water being pumped-out
from the drain hose prior to the start of the regular wash cycle.
For the drain system to operate properly, the highest
distance between the drain hose and the base of the
dishwasher should not exceed 15 cm (6 inches).
The free end of drain hose must not be in water
waste pipe
