Installation Instructions
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, see
below for measurements and required space. 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.
Leveling the Appliance
Once the appliance is positioned for leveling,
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 degrees.
Power Connection
WARNING For personal safety:
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR AND ADAPTER PLUG WITH APPLIANCE.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE
EARTHING CONNECTION FROM THE POWER CORD.
Electrical Requirements
Please look at the rating label to know the rating voltage and connect
the dishwasher to the appropriate power supply. Ensure the power
circuit has a minimum of a 10amp fuse or circuit breaker.

9
Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be earthed. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, earthing will reduce
the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord featuring an equipment- earthing conductor and an earthing
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and earthed in
accordance with all local standards and requirements.
WARNING
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 earthed.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If the plug does not fit
Water Connection
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 necessary to avoid the risk of the water inlet being blocked and
damaging the appliance.

10
Drain Hose Connection
Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a diameter of 40mm, or let
it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. The
top of the hose must be less than 1000mm.
How to Drain Excess Water from Hoses
If the sink is 1000mm high 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 (Drain Hose)
Connect the water drain hose. The drain hose must be correctly fitted
to avoid water leaks. Ensure that the water inlet hose is not kinked or
squashed. Drill out drain pipe spigot to 13mm diameter prior to fitting
drain hose.

11
Extension Hose
If you need a drain hose extension, make sure to use a similar drain hose.
It must be no longer than 4 metres; otherwise the cleaning effect of the
dishwasher could be reduced.
Syphon Connection
The waste connection must be at a height of between 40cm (minimum) and
100cm (maximum) from the bottom of the dish. The water drain hose
should be fixed by a hose clip.

12
Prior to First Use
The following things should be checked before starting the dishwasher.
The dishwasher is level and fixed properly.
The inlet valve is open.
There is no leakage at the connections of the hoses.
The power cord is not trapped or squashed.
The appliance is plugged in and the power is switched on.
The inlet and drain hoses are not kinked or squashed.
All packing materials and printings should be taken out from the dishwasher.
IMPORTANT After installation, please make sure to keep this instruction manual. The
content of this manual is very helpful to the users.
Before using the appliance for the first time:
Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
Fill the detergent dispenser.
Fill the Rinse Aid Dispenser
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 off the dishes. Your dishwasher is
designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is located inside
the door next to the detergent dispenser. To fill the dispenser, open the cap
and pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator turns
completely black. The volume of the rinse aid container is about 110ml.
Function of Rinse Aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough
rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.

13
IMPORTANT only use branded rinse aid in the dishwasher. Never fill the
rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. Dishwasher cleaning
agent, liquid detergent). This will damage the appliance.
When to Refill the Rinse Aid Dispenser
If there is no rinse-aid warning light in the control panel, you can estimate
the amount from the color of the optical level indicator “C” located next to
the cap. When the rinse-aid container is full, the whole indicator will be
dark. As the rinse-aid diminishes, the size of the dark dot will decrease.
You should never let the rinse aid level fall below ¼ full.
As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level
indicator changes, as illustrated below.
How to fill the Rinse Aid Dispenser
1. To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the ‘open’ (left) arrow and lift it out.
2. Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill.
3. Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with ‘open’ arrow turning it to the ‘closed’ (right)
arrow.

14
IMPORTANT Clean up any rinse aid spilt while filling with an absorbent cloth
to avoid excessive foaming during the next wash. Don't forget to replace the
cap before you close dishwasher door.
Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser has six settings.
Always start with the dispenser set on
"4". If spots and poor drying are a
problem, increase the amount of rinse
aid dispensed by removing the
dispenser lid and rotating the dial to
"5". If the dishes are still not drying
properly, or showing spots, adjust the
dial until dishes are spot-free. The
recommended setting is "4". (Factory
value is "4".)
IMPORTANT Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on
the dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish stains on your
dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

15
Detergent
Detergents have chemical ingredients that crush and remove dirt. Most of the commercial quality
detergents are suitable for this purpose.
There are 3 types of detergents,
1. With phosphate and with chlorine.
2. With phosphate and without chlorine.
3. Without phosphate and without chlorine.
Normally new pulverised detergent is without phosphate. Thus the water softener function of
phosphate is not given. In this case we recommend to fill salt in the salt container even when the
hardness of water is only 6 °dH. If detergents without phosphate are used in the case of hard
water often white spots appear on dishes and glasses. In this case please add more detergent to
reach better results. Detergents without chlorine only bleach a little. Strong and coloured spots
will not be removed completely. In this case please choose a program with a higher temperature.
Concentrated Detergent
Based on their chemical composition, detergents can be split in two basic types:
Conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components.
Low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.
The use of “normal” washing programs in combination with concentrated detergent reduces
pollution and is good for your dishes; these wash programs are specifically matched to the dirt-
dissolving properties of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For this reason “normal”
wash programs in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that can
otherwise only be achieved using “intensive” programs.
Detergent Tablets
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent
tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programs. Therefore
please use long programs when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of
detergent residuals.

16
Detergent Dispenser
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions
provided in the wash cycle table. Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid than
conventional dishwashers. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal
wash load. More heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before
starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.
IMPORTANT
If the lid is closed: press release button. The lid will spring open.
Always add the detergent just before starting each wash cycle.
Only use branded detergent and rinse aid in the dishwasher.
WARNING Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out of reach of children.
Proper Use of Detergent
Use only detergent specifically made for the use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and
dry. Don't put powdered detergent into the dispenser until you're ready to wash dishes.

17
Filling the Detergent Dispenser
Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing
levels, as illustrated below:
1. Place main wash cycle detergent in area A. “MIN” means approximately 20g of detergent.
2. Place pre-wash cycle detergent in area B. Approximately 5g of detergent.
3. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.
If the dishes are heavily soiled, place an additional detergent dose in the pre-wash detergent
chamber. This detergent will take effect during the pre-wash phase.
Please observe the manufacturers dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the
detergent packaging.
IMPORTANT
The information about the amount of detergent for the single
program please refer to the Wash Cycle Table.
Please be aware, that according to the level of soiling and the
specific hardness of water differences are possible.
Please observe the manufacturer's recommendations on the detergent packaging.

18

may vary from your model.
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.

19
Place objects in the dishwasher in following way:
1. Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. should be faced downwards.
2. Curved items or ones with recesses should be loaded aslant so that water can run
off.
3. All utensils are stacked securely and cannot tip over.
4. All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotate freely during
washing.
IMPORTANT Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out
of the basket.
To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
Load large items which are most difficult to clean into the lower basket.
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.
