INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

ACCESSORIES

1. ST3.5*9 screws for the installation brace (x2)
2. ST3.9*13 screws for the kick plate (x2)
3. ST4*14 screws for the installation brace (x2)
4. Condensation strip
5. Installation brace (x2)
6. Adjustment caps (x2)
7. Kick plate
8. Cable tie to secure the drain hose

ENCLOSURE

The installation location must have a solid floor that is able to support the appliance when it is fully loaded and filled with water. The location must be within 9.8 feet (3 meters) of a sink with easy access to the water supply, the drain and an electrical outlet. The location must have enough space in front of it for the door to open to 90° so that the dishwasher can be loaded.

The installation enclosure should have the following dimensions: 17.7 inches (45 cm) wide by 32.5 inches (82.5 cm) tall by 22.8 inches (58 cm) deep. There should be less than 5 mm between the top of the dishwasher and the cabinet and the dishwasher door should align with the cabinet face.

If necessary, cut holes in the surrounding cabinetry to provide access the water and power connections.

WATER CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS

The hot water supply line pressure must be between 0.04 - 1 MPa.

The water supply inlet temperature should be between 48 - 65°C (120 - 149°F). Ensure that the water temperature does not exceed 65°C (149°F) to avoid damage to dishes.

Ensure that the circuit breaker and the water supply valve are turned off before connecting the hot water supply line to the dishwasher. The power cable will connect to the junction box on the front right side of the appliance. The hot water supply line will connect to the water port on the front left side of the appliance.

Note: It is recommended to only use soft water in the appliance to achieve the best washing results.

Connecting the hot water line

Run the hot water line through the channel on the bottom left side of the appliance. Make sure the hot water line is not twisted and then connect it to the appliance using an elbow joint. Use Teflon tape or sealing compound on the connection to avoid leaks. Do not over tighten the 90 ° elbow. This can damage the water inlet and cause a leak.

Connecting the drain line

The drain hose will connect to the drain pump on the bottom of the appliance. Run the drain line in the same channel on the bottom of the appliance as the hot water line. Ensure there is nothing inside the drain hose and that it does not tear during the installation process.

There are a number of different ways to connect the drain hose depending on the configuration of the sink. Review the different ways of connecting the drain system and choose a method that best suits the application. Local codes may require the installation of an air gap kit. Check with a qualified plumber if there is any doubt.

1. Air gap
2. Air gap with garbage disposal
3. No air gap
4. No air gap with garbage disposal

Use a rubber connector to connect drain hoses and hose clamps on all connection points.

Secure the drain hose to the sink wall using cable ties or other fastening materials. If not fastened, the drain hose may bend causing drainage problems.

The drain hose internal diameter is 0.8 inches (21 mm). The top of the drain hose must be less than 39 inches (100 cm) from the floor.

If the drain hose is not looped up the water may siphon out during a wash cycle. Any bends in the drain hose must be supported so that the hose will not kink or bend

.

WIRING CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS

Before connecting the power cable to the dishwasher, make sure the circuit breaker is off.

In the junction box located at the front bottom right of the dishwasher, find the three power wires from the dishwasher including the grounding line. Pass the power cable through the strain relief, and then into the junction box.

Connect the black wire of the dishwasher to the black wire of the power cable by inserting both into a wire nut and then rotating the wire connector. Connect the white wire to the white wire and the green to the green in the same manner.

Recheck each wire to ensure it is connected correctly and securely. Each colored wire should be connected to the corresponding wire of the same color. White should be connected to white, black to black, and green to green.

Replace the junction box cover on the dishwasher. Recheck each wire to ensure it is connected correctly and securely. Each coloured wire should be connected to the corresponding wire of the same colour.

WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

To avoid electrical shock, do not work on an energized circuit. Doing so could result in serious injury or death. To avoid a fire hazard, make sure electrical work is properly installed. Only qualified electricians should perform electrical work.

1. Junction box
2. Power cable
3. Black to black
4. White to white
5. Green to green (ground to ground)
6. Strain relief

LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS

Ensure that the appliance is level before placing it into the enclosure. The rear foot can be adjusted from the front of the dishwasher by turning. Use a flat screwdriver to adjust the front feet until the appliance is level.

INSTALLATION BRACES

The appliance must be secured in place with the installation braces. There are two different ways to use the braces.

A. Normal work surface

Put the installation hook into the slot of the side plane and secure it to the work surface with the wood screws.

B. Marble or granite counter top

Fix the side with the screw. Place the screw covers over the internal screws to protect them from water.

CONDENSATION STRIP

Attach the condensation strip under the work surface of the cabinet. Ensure that the strip is flush with the edge of the work surface.

TOE KICK INSTALLATION

Install the toe kick on the bottom of the appliance.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

• After every wash, leave the door slightly open so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside the appliance.
• Only use a soft cloth and mild detergent to clean the appliance. Never use solvents or abrasive cleaning agents as this can damage the appliance.
• To remove water spots from the interior of the appliance, use a soft cloth dampened with a small amount of vinegar.
• If the appliance will not be used for a long period of time, it is recommended to run a normal wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then leave the door open until the interior of the appliance is completely dry. This will help the door seals last longer and will help prevent odors from forming inside the appliance.
• Clean the door seals with a damp sponge regularly to prevent odors from food particles that can become trapped in the door seal.

FILTER SYSTEM

The filter system removes food particles from the wash water and traps them. It is highly recommended to empty and clean the filters after every wash cycle.

To clean the filter system:

1. Turn off the dishwasher. Turn the filter and lift upwards to remove the filter system from the appliance.
2. Rotate the filter insert counterclockwise to unfasten and then detach the filter insert.
3. Rinse and clean the filters with water and replace them inside the appliance.

SPRAY ARM

The spray arm can be removed from the appliance by pulling gently upwards. Rinse the spray arm with warm water to remove any debris that can clog the nozzles. Replace the spray arm in the appliance by pushing downward until it clicks into place. Ensure that the spray arm movement is not impeded before running another cycle.

ERROR CODES

E1: Water intake is restricted or water pressure is too low.
