Installing your Dishwasher

Bringing it all together

  1. Positioning your Machine
    • When installing the machine, the mains plug of the power cord and the water tap must be freely accessible. When positioning the machine, place it in an area where dishes can be easily loaded and unloaded. Do not put the machine in an area where the ambient temperature falls below 0°C.
    • Read all warnings located on the packaging before removing the packaging and positioning the machine. Place the machine close to a water tap and drain. Take into consideration that the connections will not be altered once the machine is in position.
    • Do not hold the machine by its door or panel.
    • Leave an adequate distance around the machine to allow ease of movement when cleaning.
    • Ensure the water inlet and outlet hoses are not squeezed or trapped and that the machine does not stand on the electrical cable while positioning.
    • Adjust the feet so the machine is level and balanced. The machine should be placed on flat ground otherwise it will be unstable and the door of the machine will not close properly.
  2. Water Connection
    • We recommend fitting a filter to your water inlet supply in order to prevent damage to your machine due to contamination (sand, rust, etc.) from indoor plumbing. This will also help prevent yellowing and deposit formation after washing.
    • Note printing on the water inlet hose!
    • If models are marked with 25°, the water temperature may be max. 25 °C (cold water).
    • For all other models:
    • Cold water preferred; hot water max. temperature 60 °C.
  3. Water inlet hose
    • WARNING : Use the new water inlet hose supplied with your machine, do not use an old machine’s hose.
    • WARNING : Run water through the new hose before connecting.
    • WARNING : Connect the hose directly to the water inlet tap. The pressure supplied by the tap should be a minimum of 0.04 MPa and a maximum of 1.00 MPa. If the pressure exceeds 1.00 MPa, a pressure relief valve must be fitted between the connection.
    • WARNING : After the connections are made, turn the tap on fully and check for water leaks. Always turn off the water inlet tap after a wash program has finished.
    • An Aquastop water spout is available with some models. Do not damage it or allow it to become kinked or twisted.
  4. 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 1000 mm. The free end of the hose must not be immersed in water to avoid the back flow of it.
    • Please securely fix the drain hose in either position A or position B.
  • How to drain excess water from hoses

  • the connection to the drain pipe is positioned higher than 1000 mm, excess water may remain in the drain hose. It will be necessary to drain excess water from the hose 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 not be longer than 4 meters, otherwise the cleaning effect of the dishwasher could be reduced.

  • Syphon connection
    The waste connection must be at a height less than 1000 mm(maximum) from the bottom of the dishwasher

Electrical Connection

  • WARNING: Your machine is set to operate at 220-240 V. If the mains voltage supply to your machine is 110 V, connect a transformer of 110/220 V and 3000 W between the electrical connection.
  • Connect the product to a grounded outlet protected by a fuse complying with the values in the “Technical Specifications” table”.
  • The earthed plug of the machine must be connected to an earthed outlet supplied by suitable voltage and current.

Consumption values and program duration are only indicative except for ECO program. ( ) indicates that the program uses rinse aid in the last rinse.

NOTE:

  • ECO  (*EN60436) : The ECO program is suitable to clean normally soiled tableware, that for this use, it is the most efficient program in terms of its combined energy and water consumption, and it is used to assess compliance with the EU ecodesign legislation.

Saving Energy

  1. Pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy consumption and is not recommended.
  2. Washing tableware in a household dishwasher usually consumes less energy and water in the use phase than hand dishwashing when the household dishwasher is used according to the instructions.

Using your Dishwasher

Using your Dishwasher Using your Dishwasher
Getting the most fitting the most from yom your appliances .

  1.  Preparing your dishwasher for first use

    • Make sure the electricity and supply water specifications match the values indicated in the installation instructions for the machine.
    • Remove all packaging material inside the machine.• Set the water softener level.
    • Fill the rinse aid compartment.
  2. Salt usage
    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 equipment. This will negatively affect your machine’s washing, drying and shining performance. When water flows through the softener system, the ions forming the hardness are removed from the water and the water reaches the softness required to obtain the best washing result. Depending on the level of hardness of the inflowing water, these ions that harden the water accumulate rapidly inside the softener system. Therefore, 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.
    Machine can only be used by special dishwasher salt to soften the water. Do not use any small grained or powdered type of salts which can easily soluble. Using any other type of salt can damage your machine.

  3. Fill the salt
    Please follow the steps below for adding dishwasher salt:

  4. Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.

  5. Place the end of the funnel (if supplied) into the hole and pour in about 1.5 kg of dishwasher salt.

  6. 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.

  7. After filling the container, screw back the cap tightly.

  8. The salt warning light will turn off after the salt container has been filled with salt.

  9. Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing program should be started (recommend to use 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.

Test Strip

NOTE: The default hardness level setting is “3”. If the water is well water or has a hardness level above 90 dF, we recommend that you use filter and refinement devices.

Every cycle with a regeneration operation consumes additional 2.0 litres of water, the energy consumption increases by 0.02 kWh and the program extents by 4 minutes.

Water Softener System
The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which reduces the hardness in the mains water supply. To find out the hardness level of your tap water, contact your water company or use a test strip (if available).

Adjusting salt consumption

  • The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjustment in the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimise and customise the level of salt consumption.
  • Please follow the steps below for adjustment in salt consumption.
    1. Close the door and switch on the appliance.
    2. Within 60 seconds after the appliance was switched on press the program button for more than 5 seconds to enter the water softener setting mode.
    3. Press the program button again to select the proper set according to your local environment, the setting will change in the following sequence: H1->H2->H3->H4->H5->H6;
    4. Press the Power button to end the setting mode.

Detergent usage

  • Only use detergents specifically designed for domestic dishwashers. Keep your detergents in cool, dry places out of reach of children.
  • Add the proper detergent for the selected program to ensure the best performance. The amount of detergent needed depends on the cycle, load size, and soil level of dishes.
  • Do not fill detergent into the detergent compartment more than required; otherwise you can see whitish streaks or bluish layers on glass and dishes and may cause glass corrosion. Continued use of too much detergent may cause machine damage.
  • Using little detergent can result in poor cleaning and you can see whitish streaksin hard water. See the detergent manufacturer’s instructions for a further information.

  3. Close the flap by sliding it to the front and then pressing it down.

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

Using combined detergents

  • These products should be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Never put combined detergents into the interior section or the cutlery basket.
  • Combined detergents contain not only the detergent but also rinse-aid, salt replacement substances and additional components depending on the combination.
  • We recommend you do not use combined detergents in short programmes. Please use powder detergents in such programmes.
  • If you encounter problems when using combined detergents, please contact the detergent manufacturer.
  • When you stop using combined detergents, make sure that water hardness and rinse aid settings are set to the correct level.

Rinse-aid usage

  • The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes without streaks and stains. Rinse-aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses. The rinse aid is automatically released during the hot rinse phase. If rinse aid dosage setting set too low, whitish stains remains on dishes and dishes do not dry and washed clean. If rinse aid dosage setting set too height, you can see bluish layers on glass and dishes.

When to refill the rinse aid ?
The regularity of the dispenser needing to be refilled depends on how often dishes are washed and the rinse aid setting used.

  • The Low Rinse Aid indicator ( ) will be lit when more rinse aid is needed.
  • Do not overfill the rinse aid dispenser.

Filling the rinse -aid and setting

Adjusting the rinse aid reservoir

Add 1 liter of cold water to the bottom of the dishwasher. Close the dishwasher door, then select any cycle. Initially, the dishwasher will drain out the water. Open the door after draining stage is complete and check if the suds have disappeared. Repeat if necessary.
