Useful Information
When considering the location for the dishwasher, ensure that there is adequate space to enable loading and unloading of the dishes.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
After removal of worktop, ensure the opening for the dishwasher is according to the following dimensions.
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.
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.
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:
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
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:
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 the level.
Level | Brightener Dose | Indicator |
1 | Rinse-aid not dispensed | Wash LED is on. |
2 | 1 dose is dispensed | Dry LED is on. |
3 | 2 doses are dispensed | End LED is on. |
4 | 3 doses are dispensed | Wash and Dry LEDs are on. |
5 | 4 doses are dispensed | Wash and End LEDs are on. |
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.
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
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
Top basket height adjustment while it is empty
Turn the Rail Stop Clips, at the ends of the rails, to the sides to open them (as shown in the image below), then pull out and remove the basket. Change the position of the wheels, then reinstall the basket to the rail, making sure to close the Rail Stop Clips. When the upper basket is in the higher position, large items such as pans can be placed on the lower basket
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.
Slide Basket
The movable cutlery basket can slide between the front and rear wires of the bottom basket.

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.
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.
