INSTALLATION

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 0°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 position 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.

Only turn the locking nut to secure hose – do not turn the hose, do not use any tools. Align tab with nut, hold water inlet hose and tighten nut by hand only

• 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.

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

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

Always use new hoses when you connect the appliance to the water supply. 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, remaining food can cause blockage in the drain hose spigot. Ensure a hose clamp is used to secure the hose to the spigot.

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.

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

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 authorised service or an authorised 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 undercounter, 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 underbench installation, if the underbench 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 are located at the rear of the machine; then push the front panel 1cm 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 undercounter without letting the hoses get crushed or bent.

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

PREPARING FOR USE

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 children. Do not fill detergent into the detergent compartment more than required; otherwise it may cause scratches on your glasses as well as lead to a poorly dissolved detergent. Should you need more information concerning the detergent you will use, contact detergent manufacturers directly.

Filling the detergent compartment

Push the button to open the detergent compartment as shown above.

The detergent compartment has level lines inside to make it possible to dose the correct amount of detergent.
The capacity of the detergent compartment is 40cm³. Follow detergent manufacturer's instructions to add correct amount of detergent depending on the type and soil level of the dishes.

To close the detergent compartment push the cover as shown until you hear a click and the cover locks.

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 5cm³ 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 + rinse aid. When using "2 in 1" detergents make sure to check the specifications of the tablet.

Other tablet detergents contain detergent + rinse aid + various extra functions.

Generally, combined detergents produce suitable results under certain usage conditions only.

These detergents contain rinse aid and/or other additives in preset amounts.

Points to consider when using these type of products

• Always make sure to check the specifications of the product you will use or whether or not it is a combined product.
• Check if the detergent used is appropriate for the hardness of mains water that machine relates to.
• Observe the instructions on packaging when using such products.
• If such 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.
• They produce good results for certain types of usage only. If you are using this type of detergent, you need to contact the manufacturers 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 salt and/or rinse aid consumption.
• Contact the detergent manufacturer if you are not obtaining good wash results (if your dishes stay calcareous and wet) after having used 2 in 1 or 3 in 1 detergents. The scope of warranty for your machine does not cover any complaints caused by the use of these types of detergents.

Recommended usage

For better results while using combined detergents, add rinse aid into your machine and adjust the rinse aid setting to the lowest position.

Solubility of the tablet detergents produced by different companies can vary depending on the temperature and time. Therefore, it is not recommended to use such detergents in short programs. It is more suitable to use powder detergents in such programs.

Should any problem, which you have not encountered before, arise with the use of this type of detergents, contact the detergent manufacturers directly.

When you give up using combined detergents

• Fill the rinse aid compartment.
• Set the suitable rinse aid setting.

Filling with rinse aid and making the setting

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

Fill the compartment with rinse aid until MAX level and then close the cap.
Be careful not to overfill the rinse aid compartment and wipe up any spills.

In order to set rinse aid level, follow below steps:

• Turn on the machine by pressing On/Off button.
• Press Program button at least for 5" immediately after machine is turned on.
• Release Program button when "rA" is shown. Rinse aid level setting follows water hardness level setting. Next, the last setting level is viewed.
• Set the level by pushing the program button.
• Switch off the machine to save the setting.
• The factory setting is "4".

If the dishes are not drying properly or are spotted, increase the level. If blue stains form on your dishes, decrease level.

Level	Brightener Dose	Indicator
1	Rinse-aid not dispensed	r1 is shown on the display.
2	1 dose is dispensed	r2 is shown on the display.
3	2 doses are dispensed	r3 is shown on the display.
4	3 doses are dispensed	r4 is shown on the display.
5	4 doses are dispensed	r5 is shown on the display.

Use only those rinse aid materials which are allowed for use in the machine. As rinse aid residues left as a result of overflowing will create extremely high amounts of foam and thus reduce the washing performance, remove the excess amount of rinse aid by wiping it with a paper towel or cloth.

LOADING YOUR UNIT

If your dishes are correctly placed in the dishwasher, you will be using it in the best way in terms of 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 such round and deep items as pots with long handles, pot lids, plates, salad plates, 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 supporter wire and not against other items. Do not lean long glasses against one another or they wont remain steady and can be damaged.

It is recommended that thin narrow items be placed 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, use the cutlery grid in order to obtain the best result.

To avoid any possible injuries, always place long-handle and sharp-pointed dishes such as serving fork or bread knife with their sharp points facing down or horizontally on the baskets.

Place your dishes into your machine in a way that they will not prevent the upper and lower spray arms from spinning.

Height Adjustable Rack

These racks are designed to increase the capacity of the top basket. You can place your glasses and cups on the racks. You can adjust the height of these racks. Thanks to this feature, you can place different sizes of glasses under these racks.

Thanks to height adjustment plastics mounted on the basket, you can use your racks in two different heights. In addition, you can place long forks, knives and spoons on these racks laterally, so that they do not block the revolution of propeller.

Upper basket height adjustment while it is full

Basket height adjustment mechanism on the upper basket of your machine is designed to let you adjust the height of your upper basket (refer to diagram 1) upwards or (refer to diagram 2) downwards, without removing it from your machine when it is full, to create large spaces at the upper or bottom area of your machine as needed.

The basket of your machine is set to the upper position from the factory.

In order to raise your basket, hold it from both sides and pull it upwards. In order to lower it, hold it from both sides again, pull upwards and then lower carefully.

Make sure that both sides are in the same position (up or down).

Alternative basket loads

Examples of incorrect loading

Four Folding Racks

The folding racks are designed so that large items, such as pots and pans, can be easily placed in the dishwasher. Each section can be folded separately. The racks can be folded down or raised up, as shown in the images below.

Upper Cutlery Basket

The upper cutlery basket is designed for the placement of large and small cutlery and utensils.

Knives and other sharp objects must be placed horizontally in the cutlery basket.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Cleaning the machine in regular intervals prolongs the machine's service life.

Oil and lime may accumulate in the machine's washing section. In case of such accumulation;

• Fill the detergent compartment without loading any dishes into the machine, select a program that runs at high temperature, and start the machine. If this is ineffective, use a specialty dishwasher cleaner available from most supermarkets.

Cleaning the seals in the machine door

• To clean any accumulated residues in the door seals, wipe the seals regularly by using a dampened cloth.

Cleaning the machine

• Clean the filters and spray arms at least once a week.
• Unplug your machine and turn off its tap before starting the cleaning.
• Do not use hard materials when cleaning your machine. Wipe with a fine cleaning material and a dampened cloth.

Cleaning the filters

• Check if any food wastes have remained on the coarse and fine filters.
• If any food wastes are left, remove the filters and clean them thoroughly under the water tap.
  1. Micro Filter
  2. Coarse Filter
  3. Metal/Plastic Filter

1. To remove and clean the filter combination, turn it counter clockwise and take it out by lifting upwards.
   
2. Pull and remove the metal/plastic filter.
   
3. Then pull the coarse filter out of the micro filter.
   
4. Rinse it with lots of water under the tap. Refit the metal/plastic filter. Insert the coarse filter into the micro filter in away that the marks will correspond to one another. Attach micro filter into the metal/plastic filter and turn to the direction of arrow and it is locked when the arrow on micro filter can be seen from across.
   

• Never use your dishwasher without any filter.
• Incorrect fitting of the filter will reduce the washing effectiveness.
• Clean filters are very important in terms of the proper running of the machine.
• Check the bottom area of the dishwasher for any pieces of broken glass or other hard objects before any filters are removed.

Spray arms

Check whether or not the holes for the upper and lower spray arms are clogged. If there is any clogging, remove the spray arms and clean them under water.
You can remove the lower spray arm by pulling it upwards, while the upper spray arm nut can be removed by turning the nut to the left.
Be sure that the nut is perfectly tightened when refitting the upper spray arm.

Hose filter

Water is stopped by the inlet hose filter to avoid any damage to your machine because of any contamination (sand, clay, rust etc.) that might be occasionally carried in through the mains water supply or the indoor plumbing, and to forestall such issues as yellowing and formation of deposits after washing. 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.
