Water Supply and Drain
Cold Water Connection
Connect the cold-water supply hose to a threaded 3/4-inch 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, let the water run to
make sure that the water is clear. This precaution is needed to avoid the risk of the water
inlet blocking and damaging the appliance.
Ordinary supply hose Safety supply hose
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.

11
How to Connect the Safety Supply Hose
1. Pull the safety supply hoses completely out from storage compartment located at
rear of dishwasher.
2. Tighten the screws of the safety supply hose to the faucet with 3/4-inch thread.
3. Ensure the water is 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 drainpipe with a minimum diameter of 4cm or let it run into the
sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. The height of drainpipe must be less than
1000mm. The free end of the hose must not be immersed in water to avoid the back flow of
it.
Securely attach the drain hose in either position A or position B

How to Drain Excess Water from Hoses
If the sink is 1000mm higher from the floor, the excess water in the 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 external 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, ensure to use a similar drain hose. It must be no longer
than 4m; otherwise, the cleaning effect of the dishwasher may be impacted.
Syphon Connection
The waste connection must be at a height less than 1000mm (maximum) from the bottom
of the dishwasher. The water drain hose should be fixed.
Position the Appliance
Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind
it, and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or walls. The dishwasher is equipped with a
water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned either to the right or the left sides to
facilitate proper installation.
Levelling the Appliance
Once the appliance is positioned, the height of the dishwasher may be adjusted rotating
feet. Ensure the appliance is not inclined more than 2°.

13
Free Standing Installation
Fitting between existing cabinets
The height of the dishwasher (845 mm) has been
designed to allow the machine to be fitted between
existing cabinets of the same height. The feet can be
adjusted so that correct height is reached.
The laminated top of the machine does not require
any particular care since it is heatproof, scratchproof
and stainproof.
Underneath existing work top
In most kitchens, there is only one single work top under which cabinets and electrical
appliances are fitted. In this case remove the top of the dishwasher by unscrewing the
screws under the rear edge of the top (a).
The height can then be reduced to 815 mm, as scheduled by the International Regulations
(ISO) and the dishwasher will fit perfectly under the kitchen bench top.
Attention
After removing the top, the screws must be screwed again under the rear edge of the top
(b).

14
Built-in Installation (for the integrated model)
Step 1: Selecting the best location for the dishwasher.
The installation position of dishwasher should be near the existing inlet and drain hoses and
power cord.
1. Ensure there is a gap of no more than 5mm between the top surface of the dishwasher
and the underside of the kitchen cabinet.
2. If dishwasher is installed at the corner of the cabinet, there must be adequate space to
allow the door to open.

Step 3: Tension adjustment of the door spring
1. The door springs are set from the factory to the proper tension for the outer door. If
wooden panels are installed, you will have to adjust the door spring tension. Rotate
the adjusting screw to drive the adjustor to strain or relax the steel cable.
2. Door spring tension is correct when the door remains horizontal in the fully opened
position yet rises to a close with the slight lift of a finger.
Step 4: Dishwasher installation steps
1. Attach the condensation strip under the work surface of cabinet. Please ensure the
condensation strip is flush with edge of work surface.
2. Connect the inlet hose to the cold-water supply.
3. Connect the drain hose.
4. Connect the power cord.
5. Place the dishwasher into position.
6. Level the dishwasher. The rear foot can be adjusted from the front of the
dishwasher by turning the Philips screw in the middle of the base of the dishwasher.
To adjust the front feet, use a flat blade screwdriver and turn the front feet until the
dishwasher is level.
7. Install the wooden panel to the outer door of the dishwasher.
8. Adjust the tension of the door springs by using an Allen key turning in a clockwise
motion to tighten the left and right door springs. Note: Failure to do this could
cause damage to your dishwasher.
9. The dishwasher must be secured in place. There are two ways to do this:
A. Wooden benchtop:Place the installation hook into the slot in the side panel
and secure it to the work surface using wood screws.
B. Marble or granite benchtop: Fix the side using screws.

17
Step 5: Levelling the dishwasher.
The dishwasher must be level for proper dish rack operation and wash performance.
1. Place a spirit level on the door and rack track inside the dishwasher to ensure the
dishwasher is level.
2. If necessary, level the dishwasher by adjusting the 3 levelling legs individually.
3. When levelling the dishwasher, pay attention to avoid letting the dishwasher tip
over.
Check level front to back
Check level side to side
Note:
The maximum adjustment height of the feet is 50 mm.
