PRODUCT OVERVIEW

IMPORTANT:
To get the best performance from your dishwasher, read all operating instructions before using it for the first time.

NOTE:
Pictures are only for reference, different models may be different.
Please prevail in kind.

USING YOUR DISHWASHER

Before using your dishwasher:

1. Set the water softener
2. Loading the Salt Into the Softener
3. Loading the basket
4. Fill the dispenser

Please check section 1 “Water Softener” of PART Ⅱ: Special Version, If you need to set the water softener.

Loading The Salt Into The Softener

NOTE:
If your model does not have any water softener, you may skip this section.
Always use salt intended for dishwasher use.
The salt container is located beneath the basket and should be filled as explained in the following:

WARNING
Only use salt specifically designed for dishwasher use!
Every other type of salt not specifically designed for dishwasher use, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. In case of damages caused by the use of unsuitable salt the manufacturer does not give any warranty nor is liable for any damages caused.
Only fill with salt before running a cycle.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, from remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.

Please follow the steps below for adding dishwasher salt:

1. Remove the basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.
2. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and pour in about 1kg of dishwasher salt.
3. Before the first wash, fill the salt container to its maximum limit with water, It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container.
4. After filling the container, screw back the cap tightly.
5. The salt warning light will stop after the salt container has been filled with salt.
6. Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing program should be started (We suggest using a short program). Otherwise, the filter system, pump, or other important parts of the machine may be damaged by salty water. This is out of warranty.

NOTE:

• The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light ( ) in the control panel comes on. Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be on even though the salt container is filled.
• If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (for some Models), you can estimate when to fill the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher has run.
  If salt has spilled, run a soak or quick program to remove it.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

External Care
The door and the door seal
Clean the door seals regularly with a soft damp cloth to remove food deposits.
When the dishwasher is being loaded, food and drink residues may drip onto the sides of the dishwasher door. These surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not accessed by water from the spray arm. Any deposits should be wiped off before the door is closed.

The control panel
If cleaning is required, the control panel should be wiped with a soft damp cloth only.

WARNING
To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.
Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they may scratch the finish. Some paper towels may also scratch or leave marks on the surface.

Internal Care
Filtering system
The filtering system in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse debris from the washing cycle, including foreign objects such as toothpicks or shards. The collected coarse debris may cause the filters to clog. Check the condition of the filters regularly, carefully remove foreign objects and clean the parts of the filtering system if necessary with water. Follow the steps below to clean the filter.
NOTE:
Pictures are only for reference, different models of the filtering system and spray arm may be different. Please prevail in kind.

WARNING

• Do not over-tighten the filters. Put the filters back in sequence securely, otherwise coarse debris could get into the system and cause a blockage.
• Never use the dishwasher without filters in place. Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.

Spray arm
It is necessary to clean the spray arm regularly for hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings.
To clean the spray arm, follow the instructions below:

Caring For The Dishwasher
Frost precaution
please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in winter. Every after washing cycles, please operate as follows:

1. Cut off the electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3. Drain the water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to gather the water)
4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
5. Remove the filter at the bottom of the tub and use a sponge to soak up water in the sump.

After every wash
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly open so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside.

Remove the plug
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket.
No solvents or abrasive cleaning
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Only use a cloth with warm soapy water.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
When not in use for a long time
It is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly open. This will help the door seals to last longer and prevent odors from forming within the appliance.
Moving the appliance
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.
Seals
One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION

**WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard**
Disconnect electrical power before installing the dishwasher.
Failure to do so could result in death or electrical shock.

Attention
The installation of the pipes and electrical equipment should be done by professionals.

About Power Connection
WARNING
For 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 a separate circuit serving only this appliance.

Electrical connection
Ensure the voltage and frequency of the power correspond 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 an adaptor or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.
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 being blocked and damaging the appliance.

About the 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.

How to connect the safety supply hose

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

How to disconnect 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 600mm. The free end of the hose must not be immersed in water to avoid the backflow of it.
****Please securely fix the drain hose 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.

Position The Appliance
Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along with the adjacent cabinets or walls. The dishwasher is equipped with a water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned either to the right or the left sides to facilitate proper installation.

• But place knives and other potentially dangerous utensils are placed handles up.

WARNING
Do not let any item extend through the bottom.
Always load sharp utensils with the sharp point down!

Function Of The Rinse Aid And Detergent
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to roll off the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids.

WARNING
Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent).
This would damage the appliance.

When to refill the rinse aid dispenser
Unless the rinse-aid warning light ( ) on the control panel is on, you can always estimate the amount from the color of the optical level indicator located next to the cap. When the rinse-aid container is full, the indicator will be fully dark. The size of the dark dot decreases as the rinse-aid diminishes. You should never let the rinse aid level be less than  1/4 full.
As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below.

Function of detergent
The chemical ingredients that compose the detergent are necessary to remove, crush and dispense all dirt out of the dishwasher. Most commercial quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.

WARNING

• Proper Use of Detergent
  Use only detergent specifically made for dishwasher use. Keep your detergent fresh and dry.
  Don’t put powdered detergent into the dispenser until you are ready to wash dishes.

Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children.

Filling The Rinse Aid Reservoir

NOTE:
Clean up any spilled rinse aid with an absorbent cloth to avoid excessive foaming during the next wash.

Adjusting the rinse aid reservoir Turn the rinse aid indicator dial to a number. The higher the number, the more rinse aid the dishwasher uses.
If the dishes are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number until your dishes are spot-free.
Reduce it if there are sticky whitish stains on your dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

NOTE:

• Be aware that depending on the soiling of water, the setting may be different.
• Please observe the manufacturer’s recommendations on the detergent packaging.
