INSTALLATION

2.1. Machine positioning
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 the flat ground otherwise it will be unstable, and the door of the machine will not close properly.
2.2. 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:
Coldwater preferred; hot water max.
temperature 60 °C.
2.3. 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 0.03 MPa and a maximum of 1 MPa. If the pressure exceeds 1 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 Aqua stop waterspout is available with some models. Do not damage it or allow it to become kinked or twisted.

2.4. Drain Hose

Connect the water drain hose directly to the water drain hole or to the sink outlet spigot. This connection should be a minimum of 50 cm and a maximum of 110 cm from the floor plane.
IMPORTANT: Items will not wash properly if a drain hose is longer than 4 m is used.

2.5. 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.
In the absence of earthing installation, an authorized electrician should carry out an earthing installation. In the case of use without earthing installed, we will not be responsible for any loss of use that may occur.
The plug on this appliance may incorporate a 13A fuse depending on the target country. (For Example, the UK, Saudi Arabia) 

2.6. Fitting the machine under counter
If you wish to fit your machine under-counter, there must be sufficient space to do so and the wiring plumbing must be suitable to do so (1). If the space under the countertop is suitable for fitting your machine, remove the worktop as shown in the illustration (2).
WARNING: The countertop, which the machine will be placed under, must be stable in order to prevent imbalance. The top panel of the dishwasher must be removed to fit the machine under the countertop.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning your dishwasher is important to maintain the machine’s service life Make sure that the water softening setting (If available) is done correctly and the correct amount of detergent is used to prevent limescale accumulation. Refill the salt compartment when the salt sensor light comes on.
Oil and limescale may build up in your Dishwasher over time. If this occurs:

• Fill the detergent compartment but do not load any dishes. Select a program that runs at a high temperature and run the Dishwasher empty. If this does not clean your Dishwasher sufficiently, use a cleaning agent designed for use with dishwashers.
•  To extend the life of your dishwasher, clean the appliance regularly each month
• Wipe the door seals regularly with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated residue or foreign objects.

8.1. Filters
Clean the filters and spray arms at least once a week. If any food waste remains or foreign objects on the coarse and fine filters, remove them and clean them thoroughly with water.
a) Micro Filter
b) Coarse Filter
c) Metal Filter
To remove and clean the filter combination, turn it counterclockwise and remove it by lifting it upwards (1) Pull the coarse filter out of the microfilter (2) Then pull and remove
the metal filter (3). Rinse the filter with lots of water until it is free of residue. Reassemble the filters. Replace the filter insert, and rotate it clockwise (4).

• Never use your dishwasher without a filter.
• Incorrect fitting of the filter will reduce the washing effectiveness.
• Clean filters are necessary for the proper running of the machine.

8.2. Spray arms
Make sure that the spray holes are not clogged, and that no food waste or a foreign object is stuck to the spray arms. If there is any clogging, remove the spray arms and clean them underwater. To remove the upper spray arm, undo the nut holding it in position by turning it clockwise and pulling it downwards. Make sure that the nut is properly tightened when refitting the upper spray arm.

8.3 Drain Pump
Large food residues or foreign objects which were not captured by the filters may block the wastewater pump. The rinsing water will then be above the filter.

Warning Risk of cuts!
When cleaning the wastewater pump, ensure that you do not injure yourself on pieces of broken glass or pointed implements. In this case:

1. First, always disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
2. Take out baskets.
3. Remove the filters.
4. Scoop out water, use a sponge if required.
5. Check the area and remove any foreign objects.
