INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Water Supply and Drain
Cold water connection
Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 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
The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using new hose sets and that old hose-
sets should not be reused.
About the safety supply
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.
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 connection of the safety supply hose to the faucet with thread 3/4 inch.
3. Turn water on and test for leaks before fully installing the dishwasher.
How to disconnect the safety supply hose
1. Turn o the water.
2. Unscrew the safety supply hose from the faucet.

PG 10
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 1000mm.
The free end of the hose must not be immersed in water to avoid the back flow of it.
Please securely fix the drain hose in either position A or position B
When connecting to a spigot (A), insure the spigot is drilled out fully to avoid blockages.
How to drain excess water from hoses
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.
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, make sure to use a similar drain hose. It must be no longer
than 4 meters; otherwise the cleaning eect of the dishwasher could be reduced.
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.

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).
Attention
After removing the work top, the screws must be screwed
again under the rear edge of the top (b).
The height will then be reduced to 815 mm, as scheduled by the
International Regulations (ISO) and the dishwasher will fit perfectly under the kitchen working top.
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.
Levelling the appliance
Once the appliance is positioned for levelling, the height
of the dishwasher may be altered via
adjustment of the screwing level of the feet. In any case,
the appliance should not be inclined
more than 2°.
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.

Function Of The Rinse Aid And Detergent
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your
dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to roll o the
dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids.
Warning
Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispense with any other
substances (e.g Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.
When to refill the rinse aid dispenser
Unless the rinse-aid warning light ( ) on the control panel is on, you can always estimate the
amount from the colour of the optical level indicator located next to the cap. When the rinse-aid
container is full, the indicator will be fully dark. The size of the dark dot decreases as the rinse-aid
diminishes. You should never let the rinse aid level be less than 1/4 full.
As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as
illustrated below.
Function of detergent
The chemical ingredients that compose the detergent are necessary to remove, crush and
dispense all dirt out of the dishwasher. Most of the commercial quality detergents are suitable for
this purpose.
WARNING
• Property Use of Detergent
Use only detergent specifically made for dishwashers use. Keep your detergent fresh and
dry.
Don’t put powdered detergent into the dispenser until you are ready to wash dishes.
• Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach
of children.
