WARNING
Instructions pertaining to a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

Electrical Instructions:
An electrical supply of 220-240 volts AC only, 50Hz is required. Make sure that a suitable
electrical supply socket is located close to where the dishwasher is to be placed. For your
personal safety, the appliance must be earthed. The appliance is equipped with a power
supply cord having a 3-pin grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazards it must be
plugged into a matching 3-pin grounding type electrical outlet.
If the mains plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your home or is removed for any other
reason, then the cut off plug should be disposed of safety to prevent the hazard of electric shock.

Installation Instructions
1. Remove all packing materials carefully
2. The water inlet hose from the machine terminates in a _” female connector. The water
supply should therefore terminate in a similar male connector and should have a
stopcock close by in the pipe. It is recommended to connect the machine to hot water
supply. Connect the straight connector of the inlet hose to the water supply securely.
Connect the other end (bent connector) to the water inlet valve at the back of the
dishwasher cabinet. Do not over-tighten to avoid damage to threads.
3. Prepare the drainage hose so that it has hooked end. Use the plastic U-bend fitting
provided for this purpose. The end of this should be dropped into a drainage standpipe,
the maximum height of which should be no more than 6” above the base of the
dishwasher. To allow for an air gap around the end of the drain hose, the diameter of the
standpipe should be at least 30 mm. Connect the other end of the drain hose (L shaped)
to the drain port connection at the back of the dishwasher cabinet. Tighten the drain hose
end on to the drain port using the metal clip included in the package.
4. If you so wish, you may connect the water inlet hose on to the kitchen sink tap. You must
obtain correct fittings/adaptors to match the inlet hose connectors to ensure secure
connection. However, permanent plumbing is recommended.

5. If leaks are located, immediately shut the water supply and check the hose connections
fully. Tighten connections if necessary.
6. If for any reason you are unable to stop the leak yourself please seek advice from a
qualified plumber.
7. The minimum height clearance required to install your dishwasher on a countertop
surface with overhead cupboards is 19” (48cm).
8. Make sure there is an electrical power supply within easy reach of the machine. The
power cord is 6 feet (182.8cm) long.
9. The dishwasher must be installed on a ‘solid’ level surface.
10. To level the dishwasher, adjust the 4 level screws (feet) under the dishwasher.

Water Pressure
For best operating results, incoming water pressure should be between 0.3 and 10 bar.

FOR BEST RESULTS:

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot clean water and detergent (under pressure)
against the soiled surface of dishes. The water is pumped through a rotating spray arm, drained
through a filter removing food and soiled particles and pumped back through the spray arm.

Soiled water is pumped out and replaced with clean water at the end of each cycle (the number of
times depends on the cycle being used). For best cleaning results, the water temperature must
3
 o o
be at least 130 F (55 C). To prevent dishwasher damage, the temperature of the incoming water
o o
supply should not exceed 160 F (71 C).

NOTE: Hard Water conditions will adversely affect wash ability performance of your dishwasher.
Hard Water conditions will also contribute to “Lime” (white film substance) deposits and/or
“Scaling” on the stainless steel surface of the dishwasher tub and “Heater Element” located in the
sump underneath the removable filter screen. To assist in minimizing these conditions, it is
recommended to periodically operate/rinse the inside of the dishwasher (empty) using 1 cup of
white vinegar (at least once a week).

Disconnecting your Dishwasher

- Close the hot water supply at the stopcock.
- Disconnect the power supply cord.
- Disconnect the inlet hose assembly from the water supply. When the dishwasher is not
in use, place/store the hose on the hanger hose bracket located on the rear wall of the
dishwasher cabinet.
- Appliances that are to be discarded must be made unusable. Pull off the plug, remove
cable and make the door lock and latch unusable

! IMPORTANT !
Once you open the water supply line, (even if it is closed immediately thereafter) the water inlet
hose will be pressurized.

! CAUTION !
DO NOT LET CHILDREN DISCONNECT THE DISHWASHER. Close supervision of children is
always important around appliances.

Loading your Dishwasher

The dishwasher is designed to receive a standard “4 piece” plate setting consisting of the
following:
- 4 Dinner Plates
- 4 Bread & Butter Plates
- 4 Fruit Bowls
- 4 Cups & Saucers
- 4 Dinner Forks
- 4 Dinner Knives
- 4 Salad Forks
- 4 Teaspoons
- 2 Serving Spoons
- 1 Serving Spoons
- 1 Serving Fork
- NOTE: for ease of loading/unloading large size dinner plates from the dish rack it may be
necessary to (temporarily) remove the cutlery basket. When loading/unloading is
complete, return the cutlery basket to its original position.

Preparing your Dishes for Washing

- Scrape off all solid food particles from the dishes.

- Remove excessive quantities of oil or grease.
- Empty any liquids from glasses and cups.
- NOTE: Dishes with dried-on foods are more difficult to wash and may not come clean in a
normal wash cycle.
- Arrange all items with recessed or curved sections on a slant to drain water away.
- Cups, pots, glasses, etc should be placed upside down.
4
When loading items to be washed:
- Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.
- Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries
- Do not load plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For
plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
- Do not load glasses over the dish rack pins. Glasses loaded over dish rack pins are not
properly supported and are likely to get damaged.

- Items with wooden or bone handles and items joined together with glue are unsuitable as
they cannot resist hot water.
- Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
- Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
- Do not tamper with controls.
- Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the open door or dish-rack of the dishwasher. The
machine may topple over.
- Protect cables and hoses from high temperatures.
- To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to operate or play with the dishwasher.

Using the Right Detergent

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers, as other types will cause over-
sudding. If your detergent is old and/or lumpy, throw it away. Old detergent loses its washing
power. Lumpy detergent won’t dissolve.

How much Detergent Should You Use

That depends if your water is ‘hard’ or ‘soft’.

HARD WATER REQUIRES MORE DETERGENT TO GET DISHES CLEAN.

SOFT WATER REQUIRES LESS DETERGENT TO GET DISHES CLEAN.

- The recessed detergent area located on the inside door panel will hold approximately 7
grams of detergent. Follow the detergent manufacturer’s guidelines.

Note:
1. Load the salt before the beginning of wash cycle so as to prevent corrosion.
2. Only use dishwasher salt.

Using a Rinsing Agent

You can help prevent unsightly spots on dishes and glassware, and reduce drying time by using a
rinse agent. A rinse agent is specially formulated to rinse away food and detergent residues that
can be left behind on your dishes. Used regularly, a rinse agent will automatically provide you
with cleaner dishes every time you wash.

To fill the rinse agent dispenser, unscrew the dispenser cap located on the inner door. Add the
rinse agent slowly into the container until it just reaches the bottom of the filling cap inside the
dispenser opening. Replace the cap. The dispenser automatically releases the rinse agent into
the final rinse water.

Note: Clean off large particles of food sediments before placing dishes in the dishwasher.

Using the “Sani-Wash” Feature

If you have connected the washer to a cold water supply, you will need to leave it in the “Sani-
Wash” setting. The “Sani-Wash” feature gives you the option of washing/drying dishes at high
water temperatures. When activated, the “Sani-Wash” feature energizes a heating element that

5
will raise and maintain the internal water temperature of the dishwasher at 62_. Refer to Page 1,
Front View, Item 6.

! CAUTION !
Water temperatures this high can cause severe burns/scalding. Always exercise extreme care
when opening and/or entering the dishwasher during the Sani -Wash cycle.

To activate this feature, set the “Sani/Econo” button to the “in” position.

Using the “Econo” Feature:

The “Econo” feature gives you the option of washing dishes at the temperature of your hot water
supply. The heating element will not come on.

To activate, set the “Sani/Econo” button to the “out” position.

! IMPORTANT !
When the “Econo” feature is activated, drying time for the dishes will be increased. The dishes
dry by a “convection” method only. To speed-up the drying time after the program is complete,
Push the “door open” button and the door pops open to a pre-set convection dry position.

 Operating Instructions
To operate the dishwasher:
1. Make sure the inlet and drain hoses are correctly and securely connected.
2. Push the door release button to open the door.
3. Place the dishes on the dish rack and cutlery inside the cutlery basket.
4. Check to make sure that the rotating spray arm can turn freely all the way round. If
necessary remove any obstacles.
5. Fill the detergent in the recessed area on inner door panel. (approx. 7 grams).
6. Close the door firmly
7. Open the water supply.
8. Turn the selector switch to the desired wash program. (Intensive, Normal, Rapid).
9. Push the power (on/off) button.
-Push Button in = power on
-Push Button out = power off
The power light will illuminate indicating the machine is receiving power.
10. The dishwasher stops automatically at the end of the programme. The power light will
remain illuminated, until the power (on/off) button is switched off.
11. The dishwasher is designed to stop if the door is opened accidentally during operation.
12. After washing, dishes should be allowed to cool down for about 15 minutes so they are
not too hot to handle. Dishes will cool quicker if the door is opened slightly.
13. After unloading the dishwasher, remove the filter, clean off any bits of food, and put the
filter back in its position.
NOTE: At the beginning of each cycle, the dishwasher always starts in the “drain” mode. This is
because the drain pump always retains a small amount of water (in the sump) from the previous
cycle. This is necessary to keep the pump primed. Therefore, do not be alarmed if you see a
small amount of water being pumped-out from the drain hose prior to the start of the regular wash
cycle (THIS IS NORMAL).
