This appliance must be supplied with
correct rating voltage and hertz as shown
on instruction manual, and connected to
an individual, properly grounded branch
circuit, protected by minimum 15 amp
circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
Wiring must be 2 wires with ground.
The power plug must be in a accessible
location adjacent to and not behind the
dishwasher and within 1.2 meters of the
dishwasher side.(See page 7 Fig.A)

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
service representative if you are in doubt whether the appliance is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the

HOW TO USE AND OPERATE
1. Loading your Dishwasher
3. Using the Cutlery Basket
For the best washing performance, it is
important that the dishwasher is loaded
according to instructions.
Before loading items into the dishwasher,
you must scrape off large particles in
particular non soluble items such as bones,
toothpicks, pips, etc.
When loading the dishwasher, observe the
following general guidelines:
■Position crockery such that water will
contact all surfaces.
■Deep based items should be placed at an
angle to help water run off and dry
properly.
■Items with burnt on scraps should be
soaked prior to loading in the dishwasher.
Cutlery should be mixed within each
section of the cutlery basket to prevent
nesting of similar items. Place the cutlery in
the cover with the handles down. The cover
can be hinged and clipped away from the
basket if you choose not to use them.
For the knives, place at seperate rack for
knives located at upper rack.
Take care when loading and unloading
sharp items.
Be careful large items not to prevent
the detergent dispenser lid from
opening
2. Loading the Lower Rack
The lower basket is best loaded with dinner
plates, soup bowls, dishes, pots, pans, lids
and even the grill tray.
Plates should be positioned upright and
facing the center of the rack.
Pots, pans and large dishes must be turned
upside down.
Take care not to obstruct the rotation
of the spray arms.

all crockery.
You can change the position of the upper
rack by pulling the rack upward(to upper
position) or pulling the two levers on the
left and right sides of the rack to take the
rack down (to lower position).
It is recommended to level the upper rack
gently for more convenience and correct
operation.

6. Adding Detergent
Dispenser
•Detergent must be put into the detergent
chamber before starting every program
except the Pre-Wash.
•Please follow the manufacturer’s
instructions printed on the manual when
determining the correct dosage.
•If your dishes are only moderately dirty,
you may be able to use less detergent than
recommended.
•Chambers hold 15g and 25g.
•The amount of detergent depends on the
program. Refer to the guide table.
•After the detergent is supplied, the
chamber lid should be closed.
•The detergent is dispensed automatically
during the operation.
•The chamber lid remains open after
operation.
Detergent Information
Use only the detergent intended for
household dishwashers. (Ordinary hand-
washing detergent should not be used,
because the foam can interfere with proper
operation.)
The detergent used is a special
Dishwasher detergent and like all
household chemicals should be treated
as a poison and kept out of reach of
children. At completion of each wash
program, the detergent compartment
should be checked and any remaining
detergent removed.

7. Adding Rinse Aid
Dispenser
�For filling
To fill the Rinse Aid chamber, rotate the
round cap counter clockwise and remove.
Fill the container to the maximum level
with a good quality Rinse Aid, then replace
and lock the cap.
The Rinse Aid is automatically dispensed
during the final rinse cycle.
The dosage setting is factory set to suit
most installations. If, after washing, you
notice cloudy spots, streaks or water marks
on your glassware, it may be necessary
increase the setting. To do so, remove the
cap and rotate the indicator arrow to a
higher setting then replace the cap . If the
glasses are smeared or there is foam present
on the bottom of the glass or the bottom of
the machine. Select a lower setting.
�For refilling
Depending on the dosage setting and the
number of washes, the chamber may need
only to be topped up once per month
approximately. The rinse aid level can be
checked by two methods.
•By the indicator window on the dispenser
when the dishwasher door is fully open.
●Black indicates sufficient Rinse Aid
O Clear indicates Rinse Aid required
•By the light on the control panel when the
dishwasher is working on.
Rinse Aid Information
Rinse Aid is necessary in order to get spot
and streak free dishes as well as improved
drying. Using the correct amount will
improve wash performance. However, using
too much can produce excess foam leading
to possible water leaks.
How To Use And Operate
How To Use And Operate
When the lamp is lighted on, it means the rinse is
almost exhausted. Then, refill the Rinse.

HOW TO USE AND OPERATE
8. Salt Filling
•Check the water hardness of your area. (Your water supplier will be able to inform you on the
hardness and hardness range of the water in your area.)
•Set the water hardness according to the setting method of the water softener.
•Remove Lower rack and unscrew the cap of salt container.
•Fill the salt in the salt container before using your dishwasher for the first time. Use a kind of
funnel for easy and clean filling. The salt container capacity is about 1.9 kg. (Use coarse salt or
regenerating salt intended for dishwasher.)
•After filling, wipe off any spilled salt to seal the cap properly.
•Screw the cap tightly to prevent the suds penetration that may cause the water softening troubles.
In order to provide satisfactory rinsing results, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e.,containing little
or no lime, otherwise water stains will be left behind on the dishes and interior containers.
If the tap water exceeds a certain level of hardness, it must be softened, i.e.,decalcified, so that it can
be used in the dishwasher.
This is achieved by adding a special salt to the water softener inside the dishwasher.
The water softener, that is the required amount of salt, is set up according to how hard the tap water is.
This model has a water softener to soften hard water.
So you should read these notes carefully for correct operation.
�For First filling
Adjust the water softener to the setting given in the table that corresponds to the hardness of the
water in the area where you live. The water softener can be adjusted in 8 steps.
The dishwasher is programmed at the factory for a water hardness level of “”.
The water hardness level which has been programmed into the machine can be checked and altered
by using the buttons on the control panel.
1. The dishwasher must be switched off.
2. Press “Time Save”and “Power”button simultaneously and keep them pressed.
A “”and 1 figure will appear in the time display.
3. To change the setting: Turn the dial knob to the clockwise or counter-clockwise.
Every time the dial knob is turned, the figure is changed one by one.
The display is changed between “”and “”.
4. Once the hardness setting is correctly adjusted, press the “Start / Pause”button.
The hardness setting is then saved.
�Setting up the water softening system
When the salt is exhausted, the salt refill lamp is lighted on automatically during operation. Then
the salt should be refilled after finished the cycle. But it is recommended the salt refill should
always be done (as mentioned previous page) before starting next operation to thin and drain away
any excess salt solution immediately.
■For refilling
Note
• After filling with salt, may take a while before the indicating lamp goes out.
• When the control is set to “ ”, it is not necessary to fill up with salt as none will be consumed while the dishwasher is operating.
The Salt Refill lamp is switched off. If the control is set between “ ” and “ ”, then salt must be added to the dispenser.
HOW TO USE AND OPERATE
9. Fold down dividers.
■ Fold-down dividers at the back of the
rack can be lowered to improve stacking
of pots and pans.
