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 clearance each side of the
unit to allow slight sideways movement
for servicing when required. The height
of the unit is 815 mm. The figure outlines
the minimum dimensions required to
accommodate the dishwasher within fitted

the underside of the worktop above your
dishwasher to protect it against any moisture.
Its purpose is to protect your worktop’s
underside from steam rising from the
dishwasher.

19. Make sure your plumbing is suitable for
use with the dishwasher. If in doubt contact
a qualified plumber. This unit MUST BE
connected to COLD WATER MAINS using
the new water inlet hose. OLD HOSE SETS
MUST NOT BE RE-USED. The water
pressure from the water mains needs to be at
a minimum of 0.04 MPa and a maximum of
1.00MPa.
• Connect one end of the safety 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.
• After connecting the hose, turn on your
water mains and check for leaks.
• Connect the dishwasher to the mains
socket.
18. Insert the toe panel to the dishwasher.
17. Attach the toe panel mounting brackets to the
toe panel. Align the screw holes, then use the
4 screws ST4x14 to secure the toe panel.
Water mains
Y-Adaptor
(not included)
Connect
to another
appliance if
required.
Water supply hose
You may use a Y-Adaptor (not
included) for an additional water
feed for another appliance, for
example a washing machine. This
is only applicable for cold water
mains. A Y-Adaptor is available
from most DIY stores.
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.

be extended, otherwise the unit
may not be able to expel the waste
water properly.
• Please close the hydrant after
using.
• Do not bend your drain hose.

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.
