INSTALLING THE MACHINE
Positioning the machine

When determining the installation place, choose an accessible place for easy
loading and unloading of the dishes.
Do not put your machine in any location where there is the possibility of the
room temperature falling 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 cannot be altered once
they are made.
Do not grip the machine by its door or panel in order to move it.
Take care to leave sufficient clearance from all sides of the machine for moving
it back and forth during cleaning.
Make sure that the water inlet and outlet hoses do not get 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 machine does not close properly, check if the machine is stable on

the floor if not, adjust the feet and ensure its stable position.

Water connection

Indoor plumbing must be suitable for installing a dishwasher. Also, we
recommend
that you fit a filter at the entrance of your property so as to avoid any damage
to your machine because of contamination (sand, clay, rust etc.) that might be
occasionally carried in through the mains water supply or the indoor plumbing,
and to prevent such complaints as yellowing and formation of deposits after
washing.

EN- 9

Water inlet hose

Do not use the water inlet hose of your old machine.
Use the new one supplied with your machine instead. If
you connect a new or long - unused water inlet hose
to your machine ,run water through it for a while before
making the connection. Connect the water inlet hose
directly to the water inlet tap. The pressure supplied by
the tap should be at a minimum of 0.03 Mpa and and at
a maximum of 1 Mpa.If the water pressure is above 1
Mpa,a pressure-relief valve should be fitted inbetween.

After making connections, the tap should be turned on fully and checked for
water tightness. For safety purposes, we recommend that you turn off the water
inlet tap when the machine is not going to be used for an extended period of
time.

NOTE: An Aquastop water etc. spout is used in some
models. With Aquastop, a potentially dangerous
tension exists.Do not cut the Aquastop water spout.
Do not let it get folded or twisted.

Water outlet hose

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 between 50 and 110 cm from the floor plane.

CHAPTER -3: INSTALLING THE MACHINE

EN- 10

Warning: When a drain hose longer than 4 m is used, the dishes might
remain dirty. In that case, SHARP will not accept responsibility.

Electrical connection

The earthed plug of your machine should be connected to an earthed outlet
supplied by suitable voltage and current. If there is no earthing installation,
have a competent electrician to carry it out. In case of usage without earthing
installed, our company will not be responsible for any loss of usage that might
occur.
The indoor fuse current value should be 10-16 A.

Your machine is set according to 220-240 V. If the mains voltage in your

location is 110 V, connect a transformer of 110/220 V and 3000 W inbetween.
The machine should not be plugged in during positioning.
Always use the coated plug supplied with your machine.
Running in low voltage will cause a decline in washing quality.

The machine’s electrical cable should be replaced by an authorised service or

an authorised electrician only. Failure to do so may lead to accidents.

CHAPTER -3: INSTALLING THE MACHINE

EN- 11

For safety purposes, we recommend that you disconnect the plug when the
machine is not going to be used for an extended period of time.

In order avoid electric shocks, do not unplug when your hands are wet.
When disconnecting your machine from the mains supply, always pull from the

plug. Never pull the cord itself.

Fitting the machine undercounter

If you wish to fit your machine undercounter, check whether you have sufficient
space under your countertop and whether the wiring-plumbing is suitable to
do so.1 If you decide that the space under the countertop is suitable for fitting
your machine, remove the worktop as shown in the illustration. 2

Prior to using the machine for the rst time

• Check whether the electricity and supply water specications match the values indicated by the installation

instructions for the machine.

• Remove all packaging materials inside the machine.

• Set the water softener.

• Add 2 kg salt into the salt compartment and ll with water up to a level at which it will almost overow.

• Fill the rinse aid compartment.

PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR USE

The importance of water decalcication

For a good washing function, the dishwasher needs soft, i.e. less calcareous water. Otherwise, white lime
residues will remain on the dishes and the interior. This will negatively affect your machine’s
washing, drying and shining performance. For this reason, a softener system is used on dishwashers. The
softener system has to be refreshed so that it operates with the same performance also during the next wash.
For this purpose, dishwasher salt is used.

Filling with salt

Use softener salt specically produced for use in
dishwashers. To put softener salt, rst remove the

lower basket and then open the salt compartment

cap by turning it counter clockwise.1 2 At rst use
ll the compartment with 2kg salt and water3 at
overowing level If available, using the funnel
4provided will make lling easier. ret the cap and

close it After every 20th-30th wash, add salt into

your machine until it lls up (approx. 1.5 kg) Fill
the salt compartment with water at rst use only.

We recommend to use smallgrained or powder
softener salt. Do not put table salt into your
machine. Otherwise, the function of the softener the
compartment may decrease over time. When you

start the machine, the salt compartment gets lled

with water. Therefore, add the softener salt prior

to starting your machine. This way, overowing

salt gets immediately cleaned up through the
wash operation. If you will not wash any dishes
immediately after adding salt, then run a short
washing program with an empty machine in order
to avoid corrosion on your machine due to the salt

overow while lling the salt container. In order

to understand whether or not the amount of

softener salt in the machine is sufcient, check the transparent section on the salt compartment cap. There is
sufcient salt if the transparent section is green. Salt has to be added if it is not green.

Testing strip

The washing effectiveness of your machine depends on the softness of the tap water. For this reason,
your machine is equipped with a system that reduces the hardness in mains water supply. The

washing effectiveness will increase when the system is correctly set. To nd out the water hardness

level of water in your area, contact your local water board or determine water hardness level by using

the test strip(if available).

Detergent usage

Use a detergent specically designed for use in domestic dishwashers.
You can nd powder,gel,and tablet detergents 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 your children.

Do not overll the detergent compartment; 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 the detergent manufacturers
directly.

Filling the detergent compartmentv

Push the latch to open the detergent container as shown in the image. 1 The Detergent pod has level lines
inside. The Detergent pod can take a total of 40 cm3 of detergent. Open the dishwasher detergent and pour
into the larger compartment b 25 cm3 if dishes are heavily soiled or less 15 cm3.2 If dishes have been kept dirty
for a very long time , dried food wastes on them or overly loaded the dishwasher, pour a 5cm3 of detergent
into the prewash compartment and start the machine. You may have to add more detergent into your machine,
depending on the degree of soil and on the water hardness level in your area.

Adjust the water hardness setting of your machine according to the level specied on the test strip.

NOTE: Hardness level is adjusted to level 3 as a factory setting.

EN- 15

Combined detergents

Combined detergents may include various properties. Before using the detergent, read the instructions carefully.

Generally combined detergents produce sufcent results under certain conditions only.

Points to consider when using this type of products:

• Check the specications of the product whether it is combined or not.

• Check if the detergent used is appropriate for the hardness of mains water.

• Observe the instructions of products on packagings.

• Always put the tablets into the detergent compartment in the detergent dispenser.

• You need to contact the manufacturers and nd out about the suitable conditions of use.

• If you use appropriate products, they ensure savings in salt and/or rinse aid consumption.

• The scope of warranty for your machine does not cover any complaints caused by the use of these types of

detergents.
Recommended usage: If you want to obtain better results while using combined detergents, add salt and rinse
aid into your machine and adjust the water hardness setting and the rinse aid setting to the lowest position.

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.

Warning: Should any problem, which you have not encountered before arise with the use of this type of
detergent, contact the detergent manufacturer directly.

When you stop using combined detergents

• Fill the salt and rinse aid compartments.

• Adjust the water hardness setting to the highest position and run an empty-wash.

• Adjust the water hardness level.

• Make the suitable rinse aid setting.

Filling with rinse aid and making the setting

Adequate amount of rinse aid prevents the accumulation of white water drops, lime stains, white lm stripshaped.

It also increases drying performance.
To add rinse aid, remove the rinse aid compartment cap by turning it.1 Fill the rinse aid compartment with rinse

to add rinse aid level indicator becomes dark;2 ret the cap and close it by turning it in a way that the nails,

remove the rinse aid compartment cap by turning it. Will correspond to one another. By checking the rinse aid
level indicator on the detergent dispenser, you can understand whether or not your machine needs rinse aid. A
dark indicator b means that there is rinse aid in the compartment, while a light indicator a shows that you need

to ll the compartment with rinse aid.

The rinse aid level adjuster can be set to a position 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 stain is left when wiped by hand. 3
Warning: Use only those rinse aid materials which are allowed for use in the machine. As rinse aid residues left

as a result of overowing 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 rag.
