Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind
it and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped with water
supply and drain hoses that can be positioned to the left or right to facilitate installation.
Cold water connection
Connect the cold-water supply hose to a threaded ¾"connector and ensure 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 and free of impurities. If
this precaution is not taken, there is a risk that the water inlet can get blocked and damage
the appliance.
INSTALLATION
Note: The top of the hose must
be less than 750mm.

Drainage hose
Insert the drainage hose into a drainpipe with a minimum diameter of 4cm or let it run into
the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. The free end of the hose must be at a
height less than 75cm and must not be immersed in water to avoid backflow.
Pre-use checklist
• Dishwasher is level and fixed properly.
• Inlet valve is open.
• Inlet hose connections are fully tightened and not leaking.
• Wires are tightly connected.
• Power is switched on.
• Inlet and drain hoses are connected securely.
• All packing materials and printings are removed from the dishwasher.

Before use, add rinse aid and detergent.
Rinse aid dispenser
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on
dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to roll
off the dishes. The dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is
located inside the door next to the detergent dispenser. To fill the dispenser, open the cap
and pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator turns completely black. The
capacity of the rinse aid container is about 110ml.
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing and spot
and streak free drying.
WARNING: Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with
any other substance (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent and liquid detergent).

How to fill
• To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the “open” (left) arrow and lift it out. Pour the
rinse aid into the dispenser, do not overfill it.
• Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with “open” arrow and turning it to the position
marked by the “close” (right) arrow.
• Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, because this could cause excessive foaming.
Adjusting rinse aid dispenser
The default setting of 4 is recommended, but the dial can be adjusted to use less rinse aid.
Detergent
One tablespoon of detergent is recommended in most cases, due to the dishwasher’s
efficient function.
Note:
Clean up any rinse aid that is spilled during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid
excessive foaming during the next wash. Don’t forget to replace the cap before you close
the dishwasher door.
Push latch to open

Loading and usage recommendations
• Consider buying utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof.
• To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately
after the programme has ended.
• Load hollow items such as glasses, pans, etc., upside down to avoid water-collection.
• Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one over the other or cover each other.
Glasses should not touch.
• Load large items which are most difficult to clean into the basket.
• Store knives blade-down and large knives horizontally.
• Avoid overloading for best results and energy consumption.
• Place objects in the dishwasher in following way:
• Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc., should face down.
• Curved items or those with recesses should be loaded at a slant so that water can run
off.
• All utensils are stacked securely and cannot tip over.
• All utensils are properly placed, so that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.

To Turn On
• Remove the basket and add detergent.
• Insert the power plug into the socket. The power supply is 220-240VAC, 50 HZ and the
specification of socket is 10A, 250VAC. Ensure that the water supply is turned on to full
pressure.
• Use the programme button to set the desired programme.
• Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle.
NOTE:
• To add an item mid-cycle, press Start/Pause button and open the door slightly to
interrupt the washing cycle.
• To modify the set programme, press Start/Pause button and then press and hold the
Programme button for 3 seconds to put it into standby.
• If the cycle is paused, the progrmme indicator stops blinking and the dishwasher will
beep every minute until it is restarted.

16
General Maintenance
• 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.
• Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket.
• To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or
abrasive cleaning products.
• Use only a cloth with warm soapy water.
• To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with
water with a little vinegar or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
• If the dishwasher will not be used for a long time, it is recommended to run a wash
cycle with the dishwasher empty, remove the power plug, turn off the water supply and
leave the door of the appliance slightly open. This will help the door seals to last long
and prevent odours from forming within the appliance.
• If the dishwasher must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely
necessary, it can be positioned on its back.
• One of the factors that cause odours to form inside the dishwasher is food that remains
trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from
occurring.
