Installation Instructions

Remove All Packing Materials Carefully

1.The water inlet hose from the machine terminates in a ¾” female connector. Connect the hose to ¾” male connector. We suggest that your water outlet have a stopcock close by in the pipe. It is best to connect the machine to a hot water supply, but a cold water supply will also suffice. Connect the straight connector from the inlet hose to the water supply securely. Connect the other end (bent connector) to the water inlet valve at the back of the dishwasher cabinet. Do not over-tighten the hose connections – this may damage the threads.

Note: If you so desire, you may connect the water inlet hose on to the kitchen sink tap. Connect the water supply hose to a threaded ¾” quick-connect adapter and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place.

2.Prepare the drain hose so that it is hooked at the end furthest from the dishwasher. Use the supplied plastic U-bend fitting provided for this purpose. The end of this should be dropped into a drainage standpipe, the maximum height of which should be no more than 6” above the base of the dishwasher. To allow for an air gap around the end of the drain hose, the diameter of the standpipe should be at least 30 mm. Connect the other end of the drain hose (L shaped) to the drain port 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 package.

Note: You may also drain this dishwasher into a sink- just make sure that the drain line is secure- so that water does not leak onto your counter or floor.

3.Turn on the water supply and check for leaks. If leaks are located, immediately shut off the water supply and check the hose connections. Tighten the connections if necessary.

4.If for any reason you are unable to stop the leak yourself please seek advice from a qualified plumber.

5.Make sure there is an electrical outlet within easy reach of the machine. The power cord is about 83” long.

6.The dishwasher must be installed on a solid, level surface.

7.To level the dishwasher, adjust the 4 leveling legs (feet) under the dishwasher. Unscrew them to make them longer. Screw them in tighter to make them shorter.

Water Pressure

The machine can be used with a hot water supply or cold water supply. A hot water supply is preferred.

For best operating results, incoming water pressure should be between 0.03～1Mpa. The incoming water

supply for the dishwasher is monitored by a ‘low water pressure switch’, so if the water pressure is too low (or if there is no water supplied to the machine), the dishwasher will stop.
