Installation
IMPORTANT: An electrical supply of 220-240V AC only, 50 Hz is required. For your personal safety, the
appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a 3 pin grounding plug.
To minimize possible shock hazards it must be plugged into a matching 3 pin mains electrical outlet. If the
power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified person in order to reduce the risk or a hazard.
1. Remove all packaging carefully. Ensure that the mains plug is disconnected from the socket before
installation.
2. The minimum height clearance required to install your dishwasher on a countertop surface with overhead
cupboards is 48cm. The dishwasher must be situated on a ‘solid’ level surface. Place the dishwasher
adjacent to a water supply and drain. Make sure there is an electrical supply within reach of the electrical
power cord (max 6 feet). To level the dishwasher, adjust the 4 levelling feet underneath the dishwasher.
3. The water inlet hose from the machines terminates in a ¾” female connector. The water supply should
therefore terminate in a similar male connector and should have a stopcock close by in the pipe. It is
recommended to connect the machine to a hot water supply securely. Connect the other end of the drain
hose to the drain connection at the back of the dishwasher cabinet. Do not over tighten the connection as
this may cause damage to the threads.
4. Make a hooked end at the end of the drain hose with the plastic U-bend fitting (provided). The hooked end
should be dropped into a drainage standpipe between 30cm and 100cm from the floor level. The diameter of
the standpipe should be at least 3cm. Connect the other end of drain hose to the drain connection at the
back of the dishwasher cabinet. Tighten the drain hose end on to the drain port using the metal clip included
in the packaging.
5. Slowly open the water line and check for any signs of leaks. If any leaks are found, immediately shut off
the water supply and check the hose connections fully. Tighten connections if necessary. If you are unable to
stop the leak yourself please contact a qualified plumber.

Alternative Installation
You may be able to connect the water inlet hose to the kitchen tap
if this tap has an external or internal thread.
Connect the water supply hose to a threaded ¾” connector and make
sure that it is secured tightly in place.
IMPORTANT: Once you open the water supply line, (even if it is closed immediately thereafter), the inlet
hose will be pressurized.
Disconnecting Your Dishwasher
1. Close the water supply at the stopcock.
2. Disconnect the power supply from the mains electric power outlet.
3. Disconnect the inlet hose assembly from the water supply.
4. When disposing of any appliances always remove the door and the plug.
