FAQs
What does '12 place settings' mean?
A 'place setting' typically refers to the dishes and cutlery used by one person for a three-course meal: a dinner plate, soup bowl, dessert plate, a teacup and saucer, and various cutlery items (knife, fork, spoon). A 12 place setting capacity means the dishwasher can wash all these items for 12 people in one cycle.
How do I use the half-load function?
To use the half-load function, load only one rack (either the upper or lower, depending on the model's design) with your dishes. Then, select the desired program and activate the `Half-Load` option on the control panel. This will reduce water and energy consumption by approximately 30%.
How loud is 49dB?
49dB is comparable to the sound level of a quiet office or a normal conversation at home. It's considered a very quiet operating level for a dishwasher, ensuring it won't significantly disturb your daily activities or sleep, even in open-plan living areas.
How do I activate the child lock?
The child lock feature is typically activated by pressing and holding a specific button or a combination of buttons on the control panel for a few seconds. Refer to the user manual for the exact button sequence for your model. Once activated, the control panel will be locked to prevent accidental changes.
What type of detergent should I use?
Always use detergents specifically designed for automatic dishwashers. These come in various forms such as powder, gel, or tablets. Do not use hand dishwashing liquid, as it can cause excessive suds and damage the appliance.
How often should I clean the filter?
It's recommended to check and clean the dishwasher filter at least once a week, or more frequently if you often wash heavily soiled dishes. A clean filter is crucial for optimal wash performance and to prevent odors.
Can I install this dishwasher myself?
While it is possible for individuals with sufficient plumbing and electrical knowledge to install the dishwasher, it is generally recommended to use a qualified professional to ensure correct installation, prevent leaks, and comply with safety regulations.
Troubleshooting
Dishes are not coming out clean.
Check if the spray arms are blocked by dishes, ensure filters are clean, verify that you are using the correct amount and type of dishwasher detergent, and make sure dishes are loaded correctly without overcrowding.
Dishwasher is not draining water.
Inspect the drain hose for kinks or blockages. Clean the filter assembly thoroughly as a clogged filter can prevent proper drainage. Also, check your sink's air gap (if applicable) for obstructions.
Unusual noises during operation.
Foreign objects (e.g., cutlery, small food particles) might be interfering with the spray arm or pump. Carefully check inside the dishwasher for any loose items. Ensure dishes are loaded securely and not rattling against each other or the interior.
Dishwasher door won't close properly.
Check for any obstructions around the door seal or latch mechanism. Ensure the dishwasher is level; an unleveled appliance can cause the door to misalign. Inspect the door latch for damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your Living and Home Dishwasher typically involves connecting it to your home's water supply, drainage system, and electrical outlet. It's designed for standard under-counter installation. For safety and optimal performance, it is recommended to have a qualified professional install the appliance.
- Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and internal shipping supports.
- Position: Slide the dishwasher into its designated space, ensuring there's enough room for water and drain hoses.
- Connect Water: Attach the water inlet hose to a cold water supply tap. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Connect Drain: Securely connect the drain hose to your home's wastewater system or a sink trap connection. Ensure the hose has a proper loop to prevent backflow.
- Electrical: Plug the dishwasher into a grounded electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords.
- Level: Adjust the dishwasher's feet to ensure it is perfectly level, preventing vibrations and ensuring proper door closure.
Compatibility
This dishwasher is designed to fit standard kitchen appliance cutouts for built-in or under-counter dishwashers. Please measure your available space carefully before purchase to ensure proper fit. It requires a standard cold water inlet, a drain connection, and a 220-240V AC electrical supply.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your dishwasher:
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior and door seal with a damp cloth to remove food residue or splashes.
- Filter Cleaning: Regularly check and clean the filter assembly at the bottom of the dishwasher. Remove food particles and rinse under running water. A clogged filter can lead to poor wash performance.
- Spray Arm Maintenance: Periodically check the spray arm nozzles for blockages. Use a toothpick to clear any obstructions.
- Descaling: In hard water areas, use a dishwasher cleaner or descaling agent periodically to prevent limescale buildup.
- Air Circulation: Occasionally leave the door ajar after a cycle to allow air circulation and prevent odors.
- Detergent: Use only detergents specifically designed for automatic dishwashers. Do not use hand dishwashing liquid.
