INSTALLING THE MACHINE

Positioning the machine

When considering the location for the dishwasher, ensure that there is adequate space to enable loading and unloading of the dishes.

• Do not put your machine in any location where the ambient temperature can fall below 5°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 and drain. You need to postion your machine, taking into consideration that its connections will not 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 a certain clearance from all sides of the machine so that you can comfortably move 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 feet so that it is level and stable. Proper positioning of the machine ensures problem-free opening and closing of its door.
• If the door of your machine does not close properly, check if the machine is stable on the floor; if not, adjust the feet and ensure it is level and stable.

Water connection

Ensure that the indoor plumbing is suitable for installing a dishwasher and complies with AS/NZS 3500 .1. Also, we recommend that you fit a filter at the entrance of your place or apartment so as to avoid any damage to your machine because of any contamination (sand, clay, rust etc) that might be occasionally carried in through the main’s water supply or the indoor plumbing, and to avoid problems of staining and formation of deposits after washing.

Water inlet hose

Do not use the water inlet hose of your old machine, you must use the new water inlet hose supplied with your machine. Before connecting the water inlet hose to the water tap, ensure clean water is flowing from the tap 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 at a maximum of 1 MPa. If the water pressure is above 1 MPa, a pressure-relief valve should be installed.

WARNING
Only turn the locking nut to secure hose – do not turn the hose.

• The first time you use the appliance, make sure that there is no leakage.
• The water inlet hose has a safety valve and a sheath with an inner mains cable. After the connections are made, the tap should be turned on fully and checked for water tightness. For the safety of your machine, make sure to always turn off the water inlet tap after each wash program is finished.

WARNING

NOTE: Aquastop inlet hose has components using 240V. Do not cut Aquastop inlet hose. Do not let it get folded, twisted, kinked or crushed.

WARNING

NOTE: A water tempering valve is required if the water temperature is over 60°C.

CAUTION

Always use new hoses when you connect the appliance to the water mains. Old hoses must not be used. The water inlet hose must be examined at an interval of twelve months for deterioration and replaced if necessary. In order to pass the safety valve through the kitchen cabinets, an opening of at least 45mm x 90mm is needed.

Water drain hose

If you connect the water drain hose to a trap spigot under the sink, remove the plastic membrane. If you do not remove the entire membrane, the remaining food can cause blockage in the drain hose spigot. Ensure a hose clamp is used to secure the hose to the spigot.

Water drain hose

The water drain hose can be connected either directly to the water drain hole or to the sink outlet spigot. Using a hose hook (if available), the water can be drained directly into the sink by positioning the hose hook over the edge of the sink.

This connection should be at a minimum of 50cm and at a maximum of 110cm above the base of the dishwasher.

WARNING
Maximum drain hose length is 4m. Longer hose length will prevent correct draining, and result in poor wash performance.

WARNING

Electrical Connection

The plug of your machine should be connected to an earthed outlet that supplies suitable voltage and current. If there is no earthing installation, have a competent electrician carry out an earthing installation. 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 designed for 220-240 V . The machine should not be plugged in during installation.

• Always use the molded 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 authorized service or an authorized electrician only. Failure to do so may lead to accidents.
• For safety purposes, always make sure to disconnect the plug when a wash program is finished.
• In order not to cause an electric shock, 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 under-counter, check whether you have sufficient space under your countertop and whether the wiring-plumbing is suitable to do so .

1. To ensure the stability of the dishwasher for an under-bench installation, if the under-bench dimension is greater than 820mm, any gap between the dishwasher and the underside of the benchtop should be bridged with a packing piece. This may be achieved by wedging a piece of timber between the dishwasher and the benchtop as shown

2. If required, remove the worktop as shown in the illustration.

3. To remove the worktop, remove the screws that hold the worktop which is located at the rear of the machine; then push the front panel 1 cm from the front towards the rear and lift it.
   

4. Adjust the machine feet according to the slope of the floor.

5. Fit your machine by pushing it under-counter without letting the hoses get crushed or bent.

WARNING
After removal of the worktop, ensure the opening for the dishwasher is according to the following dimensions.

PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR USE

Prior to using the machine for the first time

• Check whether the electricity and water supply specifications match the values indicated by the installation instructions for the machine.
• Remove all packaging materials inside the machine.
• Fill the rinse aid compartment.

Detergent usage

Use a detergent specifically designed for use in domestic dishwashers. You can find powder, gel, and tablet detergents in the market 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 fill detergent into the detergent compartment more than required; otherwise, it may etch your glasses as well as leaving undissolved detergent in the dishwasher. Should you need more information concerning the detergent you use, contact detergent manufacturers directly. Filling the detergent compartment Push the latch to open the detergent container as shown in the image.

The Detergent pod has level lines inside. It is possible to measure the right detergent amount using these lines.

The detergent pod can take a maximum of 40cm3 detergent.
Open the dishwasher detergent pod and pour 25cm3 if your dishes are heavily soiled or 15cm3 if they are less soiled.
You may have to add more detergent into your machine, depending on the degree of soil and the water hardness in your area.

If your dishes are from the previous day and there is dried food waste on them, or if you have fully loaded the dishwasher, pour 5cm 3 detergent onto the base of the door and start your machine.

Combined detergent

Detergent manufacturers also produce combined detergents called “2 in 1”, “3 in 1” or “5 in 1” etc . “2 in 1” detergents contain detergent or rinse aid. When using “2 in 1” detergent make sure to check the specifications of the tablet. Other tablet detergents contain detergent + rinse aid + various extra functions/additives . Generally, combined detergents produce acceptable results under certain usage conditions only. These detergents contain rinse aid in preset amounts. Points to consider when using these types of products:

• Always make sure to check the specifications of the detergent you will use or whether or not it is a combined detergent.
• Check if the detergent used is appropriate for the hardness of mains water.
• Observe the instructions on the packaging when using such products.
• If detergents are in the form of tablets, never put them into the interior section or the cutlery basket of the dishwasher. Always put the tablets into the detergent compartment in the detergent dispenser.
• Tablets produce good results for certain types of usage only. If you are using this type of detergent, you need to contact the manufacturer and find out about the suitable conditions of use.
• When the conditions of use of such products and the machine settings are appropriate, they ensure savings in rinse aid consumption.
• Contact the detergent manufacturers if you are not obtaining good wash results (if your dishes have limescale and stay wet) after having used 2 in 1 or 3 in 1 detergent. 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 rinse aid into your machine and the rinse aid setting to the lowest position. The solubility of the tablet detergents produced by different companies can vary depending on the temperature and time. Therefore, it is not recommended to use these detergents in short programs. It is more suitable to use powder detergents and rinse aid in short programs.

WARNING

Should any problem, which you have not encountered before, occur with the use of these types of detergents, contact the detergent manufacturers directly.

PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR USE

When you stop using combined detergents

• Fill the rinse aid compartment.
• Select a suitable rinse aid setting.

Filling with rinse aid and setting

To fill the rinse aid compartment, open the rinse-aid compartment cap.

As rinse aid residues left as a result of overflowing will create extremely high amounts of foam and reduce the washing performance, remove the excess amount of rinse aid by wiping it with a cloth. Remove all excess rinse aid if spilled while filling.

LOADING YOUR DISHWASHER

Correctly loaded dishes will result in the best energy consumption, washing, and drying performance. There are two separate baskets for you to load your dishes into your machine. You can load into the lower basket round and deep items as pots with long handles, pot lids, plates, salad plates, and cutlery sets.

The upper basket has been designed for tea plates, dessert plates, salad bowls, cups, and glasses. When placing long-stem glasses and goblets, lean them against the basket edge, rack, or glass support wire and not against other items. Do not lean long glasses against one another if they are unsupported, they may break. It is more appropriate to locate the thin narrow parts into the middle sections of baskets. You can place spoons among the other cutlery sets in order to prevent them from sticking to one another. You are recommended to use the cutlery grid in order to obtain the best result. To avoid any possible injuries, always place such long handles and sharp-pointed items such as serving forks, bread knives, etc . with their sharp points facing down or horizontally on the baskets.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Spray arms
Check whether the holes for the upper and lower spray arms are clogged. If there is any clogging, remove the spray arms and clean them underwater.
You can remove the lower spray arm by pulling it upwards, while the upper spray arm can be removed by turning the lock nut to the left. Be sure that the nut is tightened when refitting the upper spray arm.

Hose filter

The inlet hose filter reduces contamination (sand, clay, rust etc .) that might be occasionally carried in through the main’s water supply or the indoor plumbing, and avoids damage to dishwasher components. Check the filter and the hose from time to time and clean them if necessary. To clean the filter, first, turn off your tap and then remove the hose. After removing the filter from the hose, clean it under the tap. Insert the cleaned filter back into its place inside the hose. Refit the hose and check that there are no leaks.

PRACTICAL AND USEFUL INFORMATION

1. Whenever you will not be operating your machine:

   • Keep the machine interior clean.

2. Eliminating water droplets:
   • Wash the dishes with the intensive program.
   • Increase the rinse aid setting.
   • If plastic items are washed, water drops on these items will be unavoidable. Programs with higher temperatures and increased rinse aid settings may reduce the water drops. Check that the plastic items are suitable for dishwasher use.

3. Correctly loaded dishes will give the best energy consumption, washing, and drying performance.

4. Scrape off food soils before you place dirty dishes in the machine.

5. Operate the machine after it is completely full.

6. Use pre-washing program only when necessary.

7. Observe program information and the average consumption values table when selecting a program.

8. Since the machine will reach high temperatures, it should not be installed near a refrigerator.

9. If the appliance is located where the risk of freezing exists, you must completely drain the water that has remained in the machine. Turn off the water tap, disconnect the water inlet hose from the tap and allow the interior water to drain.
