UNPACKING 

• 

Remove all packaging material, accessories and documentation from the dishwasher. 

 

DAMAGE

 

• 

Do  not  use  the  dishwasher  if  it  has  been  damaged  in  transit.  Report  the  damage  to  your 
dealer, who will take the necessary corrective action. 

 

POSITIONING THE MACHINE 

• 

The dishwasher should be positioned close to a cold water tap and a drain outlet. 

• 

After positioning the dishwasher, adjust the feet by turning them in or out  to level the unit. 

 

PREPARATION 

• 

Every dishwasher is tested and run in the factory before being dispatched. Before washing 
dishes for the first time, it is advisable therefore to first complete a pre-wash cycle to flush 
any factory related residuals from the system.

 

 
 
 
 

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION 

• 

The  dishwasher  must  be  earthed  and  the  manufacturer  and  seller  do  not  accept 
responsibility for any damage due to incorrect electrical connection. 

• 

.

The machine should be plugged into a 15 Amp, 230 Volt 50 Hz earthed 3 pin wall socket. 

• 

For safety reasons, the wall socket and  the plug should be accessible after installation. 

  If  the  power  cord  should  ever  need  replacing,  use  only  a  genuine  cord  available  from  the 

nearest  Defy  Service Centre. Repairs should only be made by a qualified technician.  

 

WATER CONNECTION 

• 

Use a screw on hose connector to secure  the filler hose to a 3/4 inch threaded 

cold water 

tap. 

• 

The water supply pressure must be between 30 kPa and 1Mpa.. 

• 

If the supply plumbing is new or has not been used for some time, it is advisable to run the water 
until  it  is  clear  and  free  from  dirt.  We  recommend  fitting  a  filter  to  the  water  tap  to  prevent 
impurities such as sand or rust from entering the washer. 

• 

Do not use an old hose and only use the hose supplied with the dishwasher. 

• 

Ensure that the inlet hose is not twisted, bent or squeezed shut. 

• 

There  are  two  different  types  of  water  inlet  hoses:  Cold  water  inlet  hose  (up  to  25

°C

)  and 

hot water inlet hose (up to 60

°C

). Please check which one is applicable to your model.

 

Before use 

Installation 

DRAIN REQUIREMENTS 

• 

Secure  the  end  of  the  drain  hose  to  a 
drain  pipe  with  an  inside  diameter  of  at 
least 4cm. 

• 

The outlet end of the drain pipe should be 
between  50cm  and  100cm  above  ground 
level. 

• 

Do  not  use  an  old  hose  and  only  use  the 
hose supplied with the dishwasher.

 

• 

Take care not to kink, twist or squeeze the 
drain hose.
