To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components,
do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.
Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because
they may scratch the finish. Some paper towels may also scratch or leave
marks on the surface.

2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3. Drain the water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to gather the
water)
4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
5. Remove the filter at the bottom of the tub and use a sponge to soak up water in
the sump.
After every wash
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.
Remove the plug
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket.
No solvents or abrasive cleaning

remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the
appliance slightly open. This will help the door seals to last longer and prevent odours
from forming within the appliance.

when the air space between the supply hose itself and the outer corrugated hose is
full of water.
How to connect the safety supply hose

rear of dishwasher.
2. Tighter the screws of the safety supply hose to the faucet with thread 3/4inch.
3. Turn water fully on before starting the dishwasher.

How to drain excess water from hoses
Syphon connection
If the sink is 1000 higher from the floor, the excess water in 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 held outside and lower than the sink.
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.
The waste connection must be at a height less than 100 cm (maximum) from the
bottom of the dish. 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 water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned either to the right
or the left sides to facilitate proper installation.

Once the appliance is positioned for levelling,
the height of the dishwasher may be altered via
adjustment of the screwing level of the feet.
NOTE:
Only apply to the free standing dishwasher.

Free Standing Installation
Fitting between existing carbinets
The height of the dishwasher, 845 mm, has
been designed in order to allow the machine
to be fitted between existing cabinets of the
same height in modern fitted kitchens. 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
(when fitting beneath a work top)
In most modern fitted kitchens there is only one
single work top under which cabinets and
electrical appliances are fitted. In this case remove
the work top of the dishwasher by unscrewing the
screws under the rear edge of the top (a).
