the appliance, it is recommended that gloves are worn.
Carefully remove all packaging materials including
the foam base, dispose of correctly.
Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded
¾” 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 will prevent the water
inlet to be blocked and damage the appliance.
WARNING:
Please close the hydrant after using.

Drain hose connection

1. Make a hooked end at the end of drain hose
with the plastic U-bend (provided). The
hooked end should be

the floor level.

2. The free end of the hose must not be
immersed in water to avoid the flow back.

3. You may connect the water inlet hose onto
the kitchen sink tap. You must obtain a correct
adaptor to match the inlet hose connector for a
secure connection. However, permanent
plumbing is recommended.

4. If leakage is observed, immediately shut off
the water supply and check the hose connections
fully. Tighten connections if necessary.

Water pressure

For best operating results, incoming water pressure should
be between 0.04 and 1 Mpa.
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot clean
water and detergent (under pressure) against the soiled
surface of dishes. The water is pumped through a rotating
spray arm, drained through a filter removing food and soiled
particles and pumped back through the spray arm.
Note: Hard water conditions will adversely affect the
performance of your dishwasher. To minimise this
condition, it is recommended to periodically operate/rinse
the dishwasher in empty condition using 1 cup of white
vinegar (at least once a week).
Important: Once you open the water supply (even if it is
closed immediately thereafter), the water inlet hose will be
pressurised.

Detergent

Use only detergent specifically made for use in
dishwashers, as other types may damage the
dishwasher.
The dispenser must be filled 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 dishwasher. Generally,
only one tablespoon of detergent is sufficient for a
normal wash load. Heavily soiled items need more
detergent. Always add the detergent just before the
start of the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp
and will not dissolve properly.

Adjusting rinsing aid dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser has six scales. Always start
with the dispenser set on "4". If spots and poor
drying is a problem, increase the amount of rinse
aid dispensed by removing the dispenser lid and
rotating the dial to "5". You could adjust the dial to
the next higher lever until your dishes are spot-free.

Use of “2 in 1”, “3 in 1”, “4 in 1” and “5 in 1”
detergents

These products are detergents with integrated
detergent, rinse aid and salt functions. Before
using these products you should first check that
the water hardness in your supply is compatible
with the use of these products as per the
detergent manufacturers (packaging). These
products should be strictly used according to the
detergent manufacturer's instructions. In general
detergents that include rinse aid or water softener
are only able to serve good results under certain
conditions - rinse aid and water softener cannot
adapted to specific conditions.
For this reasons in some cases there might be

Adjusting the upper basket

The height of the upper basket can be adjusted in order to
create more space for large utensils both for the upper
/lower basket. The height of the upper basket can be
adjusted by placing the wheels on different height of the
rails. Long items, serving cutlery, salad servers and knives
should be placed on the shelf so that they do not obstruct
the rotation of the spray arms.

bones that could clog the drain are trapped in the
coarse filter. To remove an item caught in this filter,
gently squeeze the taps on the top of this filter
and lift it out.

residues in the sump area and prevents it from being
re-deposit on the dishes during a cycle.
