WARNING SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Instructions pertaining to a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons

Electrical Instructions: UK only

An electrical supply of 220-240 volts 50Hz AC is required. Make sure that a suitable
electrical supply socket is located close to where the dishwasher is to be placed. For
your personal safety.

WARNING THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

The appliance is supplied with a rewireable 13 amp 3 pin plug fitted with l3amp fuse.
Should the fuse require replacement, it must be replaced with a fuse rated at 13 amp
and approved to BS1362.

Installation Instructions

Your dishwasher can be installed in various locations in your kitchen as long as there is
space and accessibility to connect your dishwasher to the water/drainage and electrical
supply. Note: The plug must be accessible at all times.

Levelling The dishwasher must be installed on a „solid‟ level surface.
It is very important that the dishwasher is perfectly level in order to avoid the

dishwasher malfunctioning to level the dishwasher unscrew any of the 4 feet on the base
of the unit .

Water Pressure

For best operating results, incoming water pressure should be between 0.03MPa and

1MPa. Incoming water supply for the dishwasher is controlled by a „pressure switch‟, so

if the household water pressure is low, dishwasher fill time will increase or may not
operate.

The water inlet hose from the machine terminates in a 3/4” female connector. The
water supply should therefore terminate in a similar male connector and should have a
stopcock close by in the pipe. It is recommended to connect the machine to the hot
water supply. Connect the straight connector of the inlet hose to the water supply
securely ensuring that the washers are securely in place at both ends of the hose.
Connect the other end (bent connector) to the water inlet valve at the back of the
dishwasher cabinet. Do not over-tighten to avoid damage to threads.

Prepare the drainage hose so that the hooked end, Use the plastic U-bend fitting
provided for this purpose. This end of the hose should be dropped into a drainage
standpipe, the maximum height of which should be no more than 6” above the base of
the dishwasher. To allow for an air gap around the end of the drain hose, the diameter
of the standpipe should be at least 30 mm. Connect the other end of the drain hose (L
shaped) to the drain connection at the back of the dishwasher cabinet. Tighten the
drain hose end on to the drain connection using the metal clip included in the package.

If you so wish, you may connect the water inlet hose on to the kitchen sink tap. You
must obtain correct fittings/adapters to match the inlet hose connectors to ensure
secure connection. However, permanent plumbing is recommended.

If leaks are located, immediately shut the water supply and check the hose
connections fully. Re tighten the connections if necessary.

If for any reason you are unable to stop the leak yourself please seek advice from a
qualified plumber.

The minimum height clearance required to install your dishwasher on a worktop
surface with overhead cupboards is 19” (48cm).

Make sure there is an electrical power supply is within easy reach of the machine. The
power cord is 6 feet (182.8cm) long.

8

OPERATION:

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.

Soiled water is pumped out and replaced with clean water at the end of each cycle.
(the number of times depends on the cycle being used) For best cleaning results, the
water temperature must be at least (55°C). To prevent dishwasher damage, the
temperature of the incoming water supply should not exceed (50°C).

NOTE: Hard Water conditions will adversely affect wash ability performance of your
dishwasher. Hard Water conditions will also contribute to “Lime” (white film

substance) deposits and/or “Scaling” on the stainless steel surface of the dishwasher
tub and “Heater Element” located in the sump underneath the removable filter screen.

To assist in minimising these conditions, it is recommended to periodically
operate/rinse the inside of the dishwasher (empty) using 1 cup of white vinegar (at
least once a week).

Disconnecting your Dishwasher

If you should need to disconnect you dishwasher follow the procedure below
Turn off the dishwasher with the on/off button
Close the water supply at the stopcock.
Disconnect the power supply plug and cord.
Disconnect the inlet hose assembly from the water supply.
Appliances that are to be discarded must be made unusable. Remove the plug, remove

cable and make the door lock and latch unusable.
! IMPORTANT!
Once you open the water supply line, (even if it is closed immediately thereafter) the

water inlet hose will be pressurised.
! CAUTION!
DO NOT LET CHILDREN DISCONNECT THE DISHWASHER.
Close supervision of children is always important around appliances.

may be necessary to (temporarily) remove the silverware basket. When loading /
unloading is complete, return the silverware basket to its original position.

Preparing your Dishes for Washing

- Scrape off all solid food particles from the dishes.

- Remove excessive quantities of oil or grease.

- Empty any liquids from glasses and cups.

- All dishes should be thoroughly rinsed before being placed inside the dishwasher.

- NOTE: Dishes with dried-on foods are more difficult to wash and may not come
clean in a normal wash cycle.

- Arrange all items with recessed or curved sections on a slant to drain water away.

- Cups, pots, glasses, etc should be placed upside down.

When loading items to be washed:

- Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.

- Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries

- Do not load plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the

equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer‟s

recommendations.

- Do not load glasses over the dish rack pins. Glasses loaded over dish rack pins are
not properly supported and are likely to get damaged.

- Items with wooden or bone handles and items joined together with glue are
unsuitable as they cannot resist hot water.

- Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.

- Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.

- Do not tamper with controls.

- Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the open door or dish-rack of the dishwasher. The
machine may topple over.

- Protect cables and hoses from high temperatures.

- To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to operate or play with the
dishwasher.

remain illuminated on the control panel continuously this is quite normal and
will not affect the operation of your dishwasher.

11

Using the Right Detergent

The recessed detergent area located on the inside door panel will hold
approximately 12 grams of detergent. Follow the detergent manufacturer’s
guidelines.

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers, as other types will cause
over sudding. If your detergent is old and/or lumpy, throw it away. Old detergent
loses its washing power. Lumpy detergent won‟t dissolve.

How much detergent should you use.

That depends if your water is “hard” or “soft”.

HARD WATER REQUIRES MORE DETERGENT TO GET DISHES CLEAN.
SOFT WATER REQUIRES LESS DETERGENT TO GET DISHES CLEAN.

How to use the water softener

Add dishwasher salt

The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the
dishwasher, deposits will be formed on the dishes and utensils. This appliance is
equipped with a water softener which uses a salt specifically designed to eliminate the
minerals from the water.

How to load the salt into the softener

1. To unscrew the cap from the softener turn in an anticlockwise direction, the salt

container is located on the right hand side of the inner tub.

2. When filling for the first time poor half a pint of water in to the salt container.

3. Load 250g of salt into the salt container. Which will last for approximately 15 full
wash loads.

12

4. Fill the salt into the salt container until a small amount of water comes out (this is
very important when you use the dishwasher for the first time) When you have added
all the 250 grams of salt and water still does not come out add slightly more water the
salt indicator will go out after a few wash cycles.

5. Screw the cap back carefully.
Note: Load the salt before the beginning of wash cycle so as to prevent corrosion to

the tub.
Only special salt can be used for the dishwasher.

Using a Rinsing Agent

You can help prevent unsightly spots on dishes and glassware and reduce drying time
by using a rinse agent. A rinse agent is specially formulated to rinse away food and
detergent residues that can be left behind on your dishes. Used regularly, a rinse agent
will automatically provide you with cleaner dishes every time you wash.

To fill the rinse agent dispenser, unscrew the dispenser cap located on the inner door.
Add the rinse agent slowly into the container until it just reaches the bottom of the
filling cap inside the dispenser opening. Replace the cap. The dispenser automatically
release the rinse agent into the final rinse water at the end approximately 90cc of rinse
agent is dispensed.

the fruit wash program.

External cleaning

To clean the external surfaces use a soft damp cloth with mild detergent.
Do not use abrasive powders, solvents, ect. as this will ruin both the painted and

synthetic surfaces.

NOTE: At the beginning of each cycle, the dishwasher always starts in the “drain”

mode. This is because the drain pump always retains a small amount of water (in the
sump) from the previous (last) cycle. This is necessary to keep the pump primed.

Therefore, don‟t be alarmed if you see a small amount of water being pumped-out
from the drain hose prior to the start of the regular wash cycle. (THIS IS NORMAL)
