Installation Instructions

Prior to Installing Appliance
WARNING : ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Disconnect electrical power before installing dishwasher. Failure to do so could result in death or electrical shock.

• IMPORTANT: The installation of the pipes and electrical  equipments should be done by professionals.

Power Connection

• WARNING: FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY
• Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug with this appliance.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the earthing connection from the power cord.

Electrical requirements

• Please look at the rating label to know the rating voltage and connect the dishwasher to the appropriate power supply.
• Use the required fuse 10A/13A/16A, time delay fuse or circuit breaker recommended and provide separate circuit serving only this appliance.

Electrical connection

• Ensure the voltage and frequency of the power being corresponds to those on the rating plate. Only insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthed properly.
• If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace the socket, rather than using a adapters or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.
• WARNING: Ensure that proper earthing exists before use Water Supply And Drain

Cold water connection

• Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 inch 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 precaution is needed to avoid the risk of the water inlet to be blocked and damage the appliance.

• Safety Supply Hose
  The safety supply hose consists of 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.

• WARNING:
  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.

Connecting the Safety Supply Hose

1. Pull the safety supply hose completely out from storage compartment located at rear of dishwasher.
2. Tighter the screws of the safety supply hose to the faucet with thread 3/4 inch.
3. Turn water fully on before starting the dishwasher.

Disconnecting the Safety Supply Hose

1. Turn off the water.
2. Unscrew the safety supply hose from the faucet

Connection of Drain Hoses

• Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4 cm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. The height of drain pipe must be less than 1000mm. The free end of the hose must not be immersed in water to avoid the back flow of it.
• WARNING:
• Ensure that the drain hose is securely fixed in either position

A or position B.

• How to drain excess water from hoses
• If the sink is 1000 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

Extension hose
If you need a drain hose extension, make sure to use a similar drain hose. It must be no longer than 4 meters; otherwise the cleaning effect of the dishwasher could be reduced.

Siphon connection
The waste connection must be at a height less than 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the dish. The water drain hose should be fixed.

Levelling the appliance

• Once the appliance is positioned for levelling, the height of the dishwasher may be altered via adjustable levelling feet.
• Do not be incline the appliance by more than 2°.

Positioning the Appliance

• When positioning the appliance in your desired location, the back should rest against the wall behind it, and the sides should be along the adjacent cabinets or walls.
• The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned either to the right or the left sides to facilitate proper installation.
• The installation position of dishwasher should be near the existing inlet and drain hoses and power cord

IMPORTANT:

• Less than 5 mm between the top of dishwasher and cabinet and the outer door aligned to cabinet.
• If dishwasher is in stalled at the corner of the cabinet, there should be some space when the door is opened.
• Depending on where your electrical outlet is, you may need to cut a hole in the opposite cabinet side.
• Freestanding Installation

Fitting between existing cabinets

• The height of the dishwasher, 845 mm, has been designed in order to allow the machine to be fitted between existing cabinets of the same height in modern fitted kitchens. The feet can be adjusted so that correct height is reached.
• The laminated top of the machine does not require any particular care since it is heatproof, scratch proof and stain proof.

Built-in Installation

• Fitting underneath a benchtop
• In most modern fitted kitchens there is only one single bench top under which cabinets and electrical appliances are fitted. In this case remove the work top of the dishwasher by unscrewing the screws under the rear edge of the top (a).
• ATTENTION: After removing the work top, the screws must be screwed again under the rear edge of the top (b).
• The height will then be reduced to 815 mm, as scheduled by the International Regulations (ISO) and the dishwasher will fit perfectly under the kitchen working top.

• Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are faced downwards.
• Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded aslant so that water can run off.
• All utensils are stacked securely and can not tip over.
• All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.
• Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. With the opening facing downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
• Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
• To avoid damage, glasses should not touch one another.
• The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups.
• Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard!
• Long and sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.
• Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and for reasonable consumption of energy.

NOTE: Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the basket.

• Folding Back the Lower Basket Pronges
  The pronges on the lower basket are used for holding plates and platters. They can be lowered to make more room for large items such as pots and pans.

• Folding the Cup Shelves Back
  To make room for taller items in the upper basket, raise the cup rack upwards. You can then lean the tall glasses against it. You can also remove it when it is not required for use.

Adjusting the Upper Basket Height
The height of the upper basket can be easily adjusted to accommodate taller dishes in either the upper or lower basket by following these steps:

1. To raise the upper basket, just lift the upper basket at the center of each side until the basket locks into place in the upper position. It is not necessary to lift the adjuster handle.

Knocking or rattling noise in the dishwasher| A spray arm is knocking against an item or items of crockery are loose| Interrupt the program and rearrange the items obstructing the spray arm.
Knocking noise in the water pipes| This may be caused by on-site installation or the cross-section of the piping.| This has no influence on the dishwasher function. If in doubt, contact a qualified plumber.
The dishes are not clean| The dishes were not loaded correctly| See the “Preparing & Loading Dishes” section, pages 15–18.
The program was not powerful enough| Select a more intensive program.
Not enough detergent was dispensed| Use more detergent, or change your detergent.
Items are blocking the movement of the spray arms.| Rearrange the items so that the spray can rotate freely.
The filter combination is not clean or is not correctly fitted in the base of wash cabinet. This may cause the spray arm jets to get blocked| Clean and/or fit the filter correctly. Clean the spray arm jets.
Cloudiness on glassware.| Combination of soft water and too much detergent used| Use less detergent if you have softwater and select a shorter cycle to wash the glassware and to get them clean.
Black or grey marks on dishes| Aluminium utensils have rubbed against dishes| Use a mild abrasive cleaner to eliminate those marks.
Detergent left in dispenser| Dishes block detergent dispenser| Reload the dishes properly.
The dishes aren’t drying| Improper loading| Load the dishwasher as suggested in the “Preparing & Loading Dishes” section, pages 15–18.
Too little rinse-aid| Increase the amount of rinse-aid or refill the rinse-aid dispenser.
Dishes are removed too soon| Do not empty your dishwasher immediately after washing. Open the door slightly so that the steam can come out. Take out the dishes until the inside temperature is safe to touch.
Wrong program has been selected.| With a short program, the washing temperature is lower, decreasing cleaning performance. Choose a program with a long washing time.
Use of cutlery with a low-quality coating| Cutlery or dishes of this type are not suitable for washing in the dishwasher.
