Power Connection
WARNING!
For personal safety:
⚫ DO NOT use an extension cord or an adapter plug for this appliance
⚫ DO NOT under any circumstances, cut or remove the grounding
connection from the power cord
Electrical requirements:
Please look at the rating label to know the rating voltage and connect the dishwasher
to the appropriate power supply. Use the required fuse 10 amp, time delay fuse or
recommended circuit breaker and provide separate circuit for this appliance only.
Electrical connection:
Ensure the voltage and frequency of the power source match with the rating plate.
Only insert the plug into an electrical socket which is properly grounded. If the
electrical socket is not suitable with the appliance’s plug, replace the socket, rather
than using an adapter as it could cause overheating and risk of fire.
Ensure that the grounding is proper before using the dishwasher!

Water Connection
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
first to make sure that the water is clean and free of dirt.
If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk that the
water inlet can get blocked and damage the appliance.
Please Note: If the supplied hose does not fit your tap, please contact your local
plumbing supply center where adapters are available for purchase.
The connection of the drain pipe: Put the end of the drain to a sink or bucket.

cannot be drained directly to the sink. It will be necessary to drain the excess water
from hoses into a bowl or suitable container that placed outside and is lower than
the sink.
Water Outlet
Connect the water drain hose. The drain hose must be installed properly to avoid
water leaks. Ensure that the water drain hose is not kinked or crushed.

If your model does not have salt container, you may skip this section. The salt
container is located beneath the basket and should be filled as follows:
WARNING!
⚫ Only use salt specifically designed for dishwashers use! Other types of
salt that not specifically designed for dishwasher use, especially table
salt, will damage the water softener. In case of damage caused by the
use of unsuitable salt, the manufacturer does not give any warranty nor
is liable for any damage.
⚫ Only fill the salt before running a cycle. This will prevent any grains of salt
or salty water that might spill, remain on the bottom of the machine for
any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
A. Remove the basket and remove the cap from the salt container by rotating it
counter clockwise.
B. Before the first wash, add 1 liter of water to the salt container of your machine.
C. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) on the hole and add about 0.13 kg of salt.
It is normal when a small amount of water come out from the salt container.
D. After filling the container, place the cap tightly by rotating it in clockwise direction.
E. Usually, the salt warning light will turns off within 2-6 days after the salt container
has been filled.
F. A washing program should be started (Rapid program suggested) immediately
after filling the salt container. Otherwise the filter system, pump or other
important parts of the machine may get damaged by the salt water. This will
cancel the product warranty.
10
NOTE:
⚫ The salt container must be refilled only when the salt indicator light in the
control panel lights up. Depending on how fully the salt dissolves, the salt
indicator light may still on even though the salt container has been filled.
If there is no indicator light in the control panel (for some models), you
can judge when to refill the salt into the container by the cycles that the
dishwasher had run.
⚫ If there are spills of the salt, running a soak or a rapid program is a must
to remove the excess salt.

Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason
some detergent tablets cannot dissolve and maximize their full cleaning power with
short programs. Therefore, please use long programs when using detergent tablets,
to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.

The detergent must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the
instructions provided in the Wash Cycle Table. Your dishwasher uses less detergent
than conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is

particles in the sump area and
prevents it from being deposited on
the dishes during wash cycle.
