HINTS AND TIPS
10 HINTS AND TIPS
General
• When determining where to put your machine,
choose a place where you can easily load and unload
your dishes.
• Do not put your machine in any location where
there is a probability for the room temperature to
fall below 0°C.
• Before positioning, take the machine out of its
packaging by following the warnings located on
the package.
• Position the machine close to a water tap or
drain. You need to site your machine, taking into
consideration that its connections will not be altered
once they are made.
• Do not grip the machine by the door in order to move it.
• Leave a clearance on all sides of the machine so that
you can comfortably move it back and forth during
cleaning.
• Make sure that the water inlet and outlet hoses
aren’t squeezed while positioning the machine.
Also, make sure that the machine does not stand
on the electrical cable.
• Adjust the machine’s adjustable feet so that it can
stand level and balanced. Proper positioning of the
machine ensures problem-free opening and closing of
the door.
• If the door of your machine does not close properly,
check if the machine is stable on the floor it stands;
if not, adjust the feet and ensure its stable position.
Water connection
Connect the inlet hose to a water tap with an external
BSP thread spout of 3/4”. The indoor plumbing is to
comply with AS/NZS 3500.1.
For best washing performance it is recommended to
connect the appliance to a cold water supply.
Energy savings can be made by connecting the appliance
to a solar water system and using economy options,
however the water temperature must not exceed 60°C
WARNING
CAUTION
Only turn the locking nut to secure the hose. Do not
turn the hose.
Inlet water supply
• Water pressure: 800kPa max – 50 kPa min.
• Water flow rate 10 L/minute
• If water pressure is in excess of 800 k Pa, a pressure
reducing valve should be used. Check for leaks.
• If water temperature is in excess of 60°C, a tempering
valve should be used. Check for leaks.
WARNING
CAUTION
Always use new hoses when you connect the appliance to
the water mains. Old hoses must not be used. The water
inlet hose must be examined at an interval of twelve
months for deterioration and replaced if necessary.
In order to pass the safety valve through the kitchen
cabinets, an opening of at least 45mm x 90mm is needed.
Water drain hose
min. 4cm
min. 50cm
max. 110cm
The water drain hose can be connected either directly to
the water drain hole or to the sink outlet spigot. Using a
special bent pipe (if available), the water can be drained
directly into the sink via hooking the bent pipe over the
edge of the sink. This connection should be at a minimum
of 50cm and at a maximum of 110cm from the floor.
WARNING
CAUTION
When a drain hose longer than 4m is used, the dishes
wont be cleaned properly and might remain dirty.

Installing a freestanding dishwasher
If the under counter height is greater than 850mm,
the dishwasher can be installed without removing the
worktop.
If the under counter space is less than 850mm but greater
than 820mm the worktop will need to be removed.
To remove the worktop, remove the screws located at
the rear of the machine, then, from the front, push the
worktop towards the rear and lift.
To ensure stabilityof the dishwasher in an undercounter
installation, any gap between the dishwasher and the
underside of the countertop should be bridged with a
packing piece. This may be achieved by wedging a piece
of timber between the dishwasher and the underside of
the countertop.

14 PREPARING FOR USE
Detergent usage
Use a detergent specifically designed for use in domestic
dishwashers. You can find powder, gel and tablet
detergents in the market that have been designed for
household dishwashers. Detergent should be put into the
compartment prior to starting the machine. Keep your
detergents in cool, dry places out of reach of children.
Do not fill detergent into the detergent compartment
more than required; otherwise it may cause scratches
on your glasses as well as lead to a poorly dissolved
detergent. Should you need more information
concerning the detergent you will use, contact
detergent manufacturers directly.
Filling the detergent compartment
DETERGENT
Push the latch to open the detergent container as
shown in the image 1. Detergent pod has level lines
inside, measure the detergent amount using these lines.
Detergent pod can take a total of 40cm3detergent.
DETERGENT
ab
If your dishes are heavily soiled, pour dishwashing
detergent into the larger compartment b(25cm3) or if
slightly soiled the smaller compartment (15cm3). If your
dishes have been dirty for a long period, if there is dried
food waste on them and if you have overly loaded the
dishwasher, pour a 5cm3detergent into the pre-wash
compartment aand start your machine.
You may have to add more detergent into your machine,
depending on the degree of soil and on the water
hardness level.
Combined detergent
Detergent manufacturers also produce combined
detergents called “2 in 1”, “3 in 1” or “5 in 1” etc. “2 in 1”
detergents contain detergent + rinse aid. When using “2
in 1” detergents make sure to check the specifications of
the tablet.
Other tablet detergents contain detergent + rinse aid
+ various extra functions.
Generally, combined detergents produce suitable results
under certain usage conditions only.
These detergents contain rinse aid and/or other additives
in preset amounts.
Points to consider when using these type of
products:
• Always make sure to check the specifications of
the product you will use or whether or not it is a
combined product.
• Check if the detergent used is appropriate for the
hardness of mains water that machine relates to.
• Observe the instructions on packaging when using
such products.
• If such detergents are in the form of tablets, never
put them into the interior section or the cutlery
basket of the dishwasher. Always put the tablets
into the detergent compartment in the detergent
dispenser.
• They produce good results for certain types of usage
only. If you are using this type of detergent, you need
to contact the manufacturers and find out about the
suitable conditions of use.
• When the conditions of use of such products and the
machine settings are appropriate, they ensure savings
in salt and/or rinse aid consumption.
• Contact the detergent manufacturer if you are not
obtaining good wash results (if your dishes stay
calcareous and wet) after having used 2 in 1 or 3 in 1
detergents. The scope of warranty for your machine
does not cover any complaints caused by the use of
these types of detergents.
Recommended usage:
For better results while using combined detergents, add
rinse aid to your machine and adjust the rinse aid setting
to the lowest position.

15PREPARING FOR USE
PREPARING FOR USE
WARNING
CAUTION
Solubility of the tablet detergents produced by different
companies can vary depending on the temperature
and time. Therefore, it is not recommended to use such
detergents in short programs. It is more suitable to use
powder detergents in such programs.
Should any problem, which you have not encountered
before, arise with the use of this type of detergents,
contact the detergent manufacturers directly.
When you give up using combined detergents
• Fill the salt and rinse aid compartments.
• Adjust the water hardness setting to the highest
position (6) and run an empty-wash.
• Adjust the water hardness level.
• Make the suitable rinse aid setting.
Filling with rinse aid and making the setting
123 4 56
Rinse aid is used to prevent the stay of white water
drops, lime stains, white film strip-shaped stains that
may form on the dishes, as well as to increase the drying
performance. Contrary to the popular beliefs, it is used
not only for obtaining shinier dishes but also for obtaining
sufficiently dried dishes. For this reason, care should
be taken that there is adequate amount of rinse aid in
the rinse aid compartment and only polishing material
produced for use at dishwashers should be used. If the
rinse aid lamp on the control panel becomes on fill the
rinse aid compartment with rinse.
123 4 56
To put rinse aid, remove the rinse aid compartment cap
by turning it. Fill the rinse aid compartment with rinse aid
until the rinse aid level indicator becomes dark 1;

between 1 and 6. Factory setting for rinse aid is the
position 3. You need to increase the degree of the
adjuster if water stains form on your dishes after a wash,
whereas you need to decrease the degree if a blue stains
left when wiped by hand. 3
WARNING
CAUTION
Use only those rinse aid materials which are allowed for
use in the machine. As rinse aid residues left as a result of
overflowing will create extremely high amounts of foam
and thus reduce the washing performance, remove the
excess amount of rinse aid by wiping it with a paper towel
or cloth.
