This appliance must be earthed. In the event
of a malfunction or breakdown, earthing will
reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for the electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-earthing conductor and an earthing
plug. The plug must b e plu gged into an appropriate
outlet that is installed and earthed in accordance
with all local standards and requirements.Improper connection of the equ ipment-
grounding conductor ca n result in th e risk
of an electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service representative if you
are in doubt whether the app lian ce is
properly grounded. Do no t modify the plug
providedwiththeappliance;Ifitisnotfit
for the outlet. Have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.„
„
Ensure the voltage and frequen cy of the power being corresponds to
those on the rating plate. Only insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthed
properly. If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not
appropriate for the plug , replace the socket, rather than using a adaptors or the like as
they could cause overheating and burns.
Plea se look at the ra ting label to know the rating voltage and connect the dishwash er to the app ropriate power supp ly.
Use the required fuse 10 amp, time delay fuse or circuit breaker rec ommended and provide separate circuit serving
only this appliance.
WARNING!
For personal safety:
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR AN ADAPTER PLUG WITH THIS APPLIANCE.

Positioning the Appliance
How to Drain Excess Water From Hoses
If the sink is 1000 higher from the floor, the excess water in hoses cannot be drained directly
into the sink. It will be necessary to drain excess water from hoses into a bowl or suitable
container that is held outside and lower than the sink.
Wat er O ut le t
Connect the water drain hose. The drain hose must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks.
En sure that the water inlet hose is not kinked or s quashed.
The following things should be checked before starting the dishwasher.
Syphon Connection
The waste connection must be at a h eight of between 50 c m (minimum) and 10 0 cm (maximum)
from the bottom of the dish. The water drain hose should be fixed by a hose clip.
Start of Dishwasher
The content of this manual is very helpful to the users.
After installation, please make sure to keep this manual.
Extension Hose
If you n eed a drain hose extension, make sure to use a similar dra in hose.
It must be no longer than 4 metres; o therwise the cleanin g effect o f the dishwasher could be re duced.
1The dishwasher is level and fixed properly
2The inlet valve is open
3There is a leakage at the connections of the conducts
4The wires are tightly connected
5The power is switched on
6The inlet and drain hoses are knotted
7All packing materials and printings should be taken out from the dishwasher
Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4(inch) connector and make sure
that it is fastened tightly in place.
If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the
water run to make sure that the water is clear. This precaution is needed to avoid the
risk of the water inlet to be blocked and damage the appliance.
The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to the household hot water
line (such as, central system, heating system),as long as it does not exceed a
temperature of 60 C. In this case, the wash cycle time will be shortened by about 15
minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced.
The connection must be made to the hot water line following the same procedures as
described in the section for the connection to the cold water line.
Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind it, and the sides,
along the adjacent cabinets or walls. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can
be positioned either to the right or the left sides to facilitate proper installation.
