11

GETTING STARTED (Cont.)

INSTALLATION AREA
This installation position of the dishwasher should be near existing water inlet,

drain hoses and power outlet.

• Less than 5mm between the top of the dishwasher and cabinet and the outer
door aligned to the cabinet.

• If dishwasher in installed in corner of the cabinet,
make sure to allow minimum of 50mm space
between opened door and cabinet.

12

GETTING STARTED (Cont.)

POSITIONING THE APPLIANCE

• This dishwasher is freestanding. Position it close to an existing
water inlet and drain connection and be sure that there is a
power supply nearby.

• The back of the appliance should lean against the wall behind.
The sides along any adjacent walls. The appliance can be
recessed under a single benchtop.

• Make sure water hoses or power cables arent underneath the appliance.

WATER CONNECTION

Connect the water supply hose to a threaded 3/4”connector.

During operation, the dishwasher will heat up the appliance to the required temperature
so please be sure that the hose it not kinked or squashed and tightly fastened in place.
If the hose is new or has not been used be sure to
let the water run for a little bit to
clear the hose of any impurities.

WATER PRESSURE

Minimum inlet water pressure is 0.04MPa
Maximum inlet water pressure is 1.0MPa

NOTE:

The new hose-sets supplied with the appliance are to be used
and that old hose-sets should not be reused.

SAFETY SUPPLY HOSE

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.

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. Tighter the screws of the safety supply hose to the faucet
with thread 3/4inch.

it run into the sink. Make sure to avoid bending or crimping the hose
(Option A). The top of the hose is not to exceed 1000mm.

HOW TO DRAIN EXCESS WATER FROM HOSES

If the sink is 1000mm 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.

INSTRUCTIONS (Cont.)

DISHWASHER DETERGENT

WARNING:

• Only use detergent that are meant to be used for dishwashers

• Only add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher so it doesnt

extremely dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes and
keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. Check that
the detergent receptacle is empty after completion of wash cycle.

CONCENTRATED DETERGENTS

Based on their chemical composition, detergents and can be split in two basic types:
Conventional and Alkaline Detergents.
The use of “Normal” washing programs in combination with concentrated
detergents reduces pollution and is good at cleaning 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 use 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. Some
detergents can’t 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.

23

INSTRUCTIONS (Cont.)

ADDING DETERGENT

NOTE:

• If the lid is closed, push the latch to open.

• Always add the detergent just before starting each wash cycle.

• Only use branded detergent and rinse aid for dishwasher.
