Earthing Instructions
•This appliance must be earthed. In the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, earthing will reduce the risk of an electric shock by
providing a path of least resistance of electric current. This
appliance is equipped with an earthing conductor plug.
•The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
installed and earthed in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
•Improper connection of the equipment-earthing conductor can
result in the risk of an 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 appliance; If it does not
fit the outlet.

the dishwasher to the appropriate power supply. Use the required fuse
10A/13A/16A, time delay fuse or circuit breaker recommended and
provide separate circuit serving only this appliance.

dishwasher. Failure to do so could result in death or
electrical shock.
ATTENTION!
The installation of the pipes and electrical equipment should be
done by professionals.
WARNING!
For personal safety:
•Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug with this
appliance.

earthing connection from the power cord.
INSTALLATION

8
Electrical Connection
Ensure the voltage and frequency of the power being corresponds to
those on the rating plate. Only insert the plug into an electrical socket
which is earthed properly. If the electrical socket to which the appliance
must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace the socket,
rather than using an adaptor or the like as they could cause overheating
and burns.
Water Supply and Drain
Cold Water Connection
Connect the cold-water supply hose to a threaded ¾ inch connector and
make sure 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. This
precaution is needed to avoid the risk of the water inlet to be blocked
and damage the appliance.
WARNING!
Ensure that proper earthing exists before use.

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.
How to Connect The Safety Supply Hose
•Pull the safety supply hoses completely out from storage
compartment located at rear of dishwasher.
•Tighter the screws of the safety supply hose to the faucet with
thread ¾ inch.
•Turn water fully on before starting the dishwasher.
How to Disconnect The Safety Supply Hose
•Turn off the water.
•Unscrew the safety supply hose from the faucet.
Connection of Drain Hoses
Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4 cm,
or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. The
height of drain pipe must be less than 750 mm. The free end of the hose
must not be immersed in water to avoid the back flow of it.
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.
WARNING!
Please secure fix the drain hose in either position A or position B.

How to Drain Excess Water from Hoses
If the sink is 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.
1. 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.
2. Extension hose
If you need a drain hose extension, make sure to use a similar
drain hose. It must be no longer than 4 meters; otherwise, the
cleaning effect of the dishwasher could be reduced.
3. Syphon connection
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.
Positioning 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.
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. Illustrations of cabinet dimensions and
installation position of the dishwasher.

Before Using Your Dishwasher
Loading The Salt Into The Softener
HOW TO USE
NOTE!
If your model does not have any water softener, you may skip this
section. Always use salt intended for dishwasher use.
WARNING!
•Only use salt specifically designed for dishwashers use!
Every other type of salt not specifically designed for
dishwasher use, especially table salt, will damage the water
softener. In case of damages caused by the use of unsuitable
salt the manufacturer does not give any warranty nor is liable
for any damages caused.
•Only fill with salt before running a cycle.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may
have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for
any period of time, which may cause corrosion.

The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be
filled as explained in the following:
Please follow the steps below for adding dishwasher salt:
1. Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.
2. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and pour in
about 1kg of dishwasher salt.
3. Fill the salt container to its maximum limit with water. It is normal
for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container.
4. After filling the container, screw back the cap tightly.
5. The salt warning light will stop being after the salt container has
been filled with salt.
6. Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing
program should be started (We suggest to use a short program).
Otherwise, the filter system, pump or other important parts of the
machine may be damaged by salty water. This is out of warranty.
Control Panel
NOTE!
•The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning
light ( ) in the control panel comes on. Depending on how
well the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be on
even though the salt container is filled.
•If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (for some
Models), you can estimate when to fill the salt into the
softener by the cycles that the dishwasher has run.
•If salt has spilled, run a soak or quick program to remove it.

Recommendations for Loading The Dishwasher
Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. Soften remnants of burnt
food in pans. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water.
For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading
guidelines. (Please note that features and appearance of baskets and
cutlery baskets may vary from your model.)
Place objects in the dishwasher in following way:
•Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are faced
downwards.
•Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded aslant so
that water can run off.
•All utensils are stacked securely and cannot tip over.
•All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotate
freely during washing.
•Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc.; with the
opening facing downwards so that water cannot collect in the
container or a deep base.
•Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or
cover each other. To avoid damage, glasses should not touch
one another.
•The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter
dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups.
•Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential
hazard!
•Long and / or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must
be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.
•Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for
good results and for reasonable consumption of energy.
