Installation  
Water Connection  
Ensure the machine is connected to a clean, cold running water supply.  
Water inlet hose  
Only use the water inlet hose supplied with this machine. Do not re-  
use old inlet hoses. Connect the water inlet hose directly to the water  
inlet tap. The pressure supplied by the tap should be a minimum of  
0.03Mpa and a maximum of 1Mpa. If the water pressure is above  
1Mpa, a pressure release valve should be fitted. After the connection  
is made, the tap should be turned on fully so the fitting is secure and  
there are no leakages. For the safety and maintenance of your  
machine, make sure you always turn off the water after using the  
machine.

The water drain hose can be connected either directly to the water  
drain hole or to the sink outlet spigot. Using a special bent pipe, the  
water can be drained directly into the sink via hooking the pipe over  
the edge of the sink. This connection should be a minimum of 50cm  
and at a maximum of 110 cm from the floor.  
Note  
If a drain hose longer than 4m is used dishes may remain dirty and

How to use  
Water  
To maximise cleaning quality, the machine requires soft water, (low calcareous water).  
Lime scale may form on dishes and the interior of the machine in hard water areas. This  
will reduce the performance of the machine.  
Filling with salt  
Use softener salt specifically produced for dishwashers do not use table salt.  
To insert softener salt, remove the lower basket and open the salt compartment cap by  
turning it anti clockwise (see image 1).  
Fill the salt compartment by mixing 1kg salt with water (picture 3), for the first time  
only. For refilling, only insert salt without using water using a funnel to make this easier  
(see image 4).  
Once this is filled, replace the cap twisting clockwise.  
When the salt indicator light is illuminated, add more salt to the machine.  
Important note  
Immediately after inserting salt, run the machine empty on a short cycle in order to  
prevent corrosion.

How to use  
Water softness test  
The washing effectiveness of your machine depends on the softness of the tap water.  
For this reason, your machine is equipped with a system that reduces the hardness in  
the mains water supply. To find out the hardness of water in your area, contact your  
local water board who can determine the hardness of water in your area using a testing  
strip.  
When you receive a testing strip, dip this into a cup of water for 1 second, remove from  
the water and shake. Wait for 1 minute and assess the hardness of your water using the  
below table.

How to use  
Combined Detergents  
Detergent manufacturers also manufacture combined detergents that are called ‘2 in 1, 3  
in 1’ and ‘5 in 1. This dishwasher is suitable for use of 2 in 1 and 3 in 1 detergents only and  
must be used on a setting of 70°C or more for them to work effectively.  
When using such detergents, always place them into the detergent compartment in the  
door of the machine and not directly into the interior of the machine. Using these  
detergents will reduce the need for salt input into your machine as they are made up of a  
combination of salt and detergent.  
Contact the detergent manufacturer if you are not achieving the required standard of  
cleanliness.  
Points to consider when using this 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  
is appertaining to.  
Follow 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.  
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 manufacturers 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  
manufacturer’s warranty does not cover any complaints caused by the use of these  
types of detergents.

How to use  
Recommended usage  
If you want to obtain better results while using combined detergents, add salt and rinse  
aid into your machine and adjust the water hardness setting and 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.  
If you stop using combined detergents  
• Fill the salt and rinse aid compartments.  
• Adjust the water hardness setting to the highest position and run an empty-wash.  
• Adjust the water hardness level.  
• Make the suitable rinse aid setting.  
Rinse aid  
Rinse aid is used to prevent white water drops forming on dishes. To add rinse aid to  
your machine, remove the rinse aid compartment lid by twisting anti clockwise (1).  
Fill the rinse aid compartment until the rinse aid indicator becomes dark (b). As the  
rinse aid is used over time, the rinse aid indicator will become lighter (a).  
The rinse aid level adjuster can be set between positions 1 and 6. The higher the  
number, the more rinse aid will be used. The factory setting for the rinse aid indicator is  
position 3.  
Note  
If you can see water stains forming on your dishes you will need to increase the rinse aid  
level, if you see blue stains on your dishes you will need to decrease the amount of rinse  
aid used

filter (2). Rinse this with water under a tap and refit the metal filter. Insert the coarse filter  
into the micro filter and line up the corresponding markings. Lock the micro filter into the  
metal/plastic filter and turn in the direction of the arrow (4) .  
Important note  
Never use the dishwasher without the filter present. Incorrectly fitting the filter will  
reduce the washing effectiveness of the machine.  
Spray arms  
Always check the spray arm water outlet to ensure  
they are not clogged. If these are clogged, ensure  
they are cleaned.  
The lower spray arm can be removed by pulling it  
upwards, while the upper spray arm nut can be  
removed by turning the nut to the left. Ensure the  
nut is tightened sufficiently when refitting the upper  
spray arm.  
Hose filter  
The inlet hose contains a filter to prevent potential water debris entering the machine.  
Check the filter hose from time to time and clean if necessary. To clean the filter, first turn  
the tap off and then remove the hose. After removing the filter from the hose, clean this  
under the tap. Insert the cleaned filter back into its place inside the hose and refit the  
hose.
