It boasts a sleek silver finish with a stainless steel drum and mild steel exterior, making it a durable and aesthetically pleasing addition to any kitchen.

Function Description:

The Aqua 12S is a freestanding dishwasher with a 12-place setting capacity, suitable for an average Indian household and capable of handling dishes for guests. It offers six different washing programs tailored to various needs and soiling levels: Eco, Rapid 30, Intensive, Normal, 90 Mins Wash, and Glass. Each program is designed with specific temperature and time durations to ensure optimal cleaning and germ-free results. The dishwasher also includes a dedicated drying cycle that leaves dishes perfectly dry and ready to use, utilizing residual drying technology where steam generated during the wash cycle dries the dishes without external air introduction, resulting in faster and more hygienic drying.

Usage Features:

  • Push Button Functions: On/Off, Start/Pause, Delayed Start, Half Load, Child Lock.
  • Indicator Functions: Program, Salt (indicates low salt level), Low Rinse Aid, Child Lock, Half Load, Delayed Start (3/6/9 hours).
  • High Capacity: The 12-place setting is complemented by adjustable upper and lower baskets, along with a separate cutlery basket, ensuring maximum space optimization. Spikes in the lower basket can be folded, and racks in the upper basket can be adjusted or removed to accommodate larger items like pots, kadhais, and woks.
  • Half Load Function: This energy-saving solution allows users to wash smaller loads of dishes, saving 20% more water and 10% more energy compared to a full load. Unlike standard half-load functions, the Aqua 12S allows activation of either the upper or lower rack, providing flexibility based on utensil type.
  • Delayed Start: Users can set the dishwasher to begin a wash program after 3, 6, or 9 hours, allowing for greater flexibility in scheduling.
  • Intensive Program: Specifically designed for heavily soiled cooking utensils, pots, and pans, this program uses higher spray pressure (20% more in the lower rack) and temperature to remove stubborn oil stains.
  • Glass Care Program: A gentle 40°C, 60-minute cycle designed for delicate glassware like champagne flutes, wine glasses, and glass bowls.
  • SoftTouch Shelves: The racks and spikes are coated with nylon to provide a gentle hold for fragile items, preventing scraping and scratching, and ensuring a longer life for crockery. These racks are also more hygienic and durable.
  • Sensor for Water Pressure: This sensor continuously monitors spray intensity and water quantity, compensating for any perceived loss to ensure optimal water circulation and cleaning performance based on the selected program.
  • Sound Engineered: Designed with sound-reducing materials, massive insulation, and advanced hydraulics, the dishwasher operates quietly, minimizing disturbance.
  • Child Lock: This feature blocks the control panel (except the power button) to prevent accidental changes to the program or opening of the door by children or unaware individuals. It is activated by pressing and holding the 'Delayed Start' and 'Program Selector' buttons for 3 seconds.
  • Leak-proof Guarantee: A water pressure sensor automatically shuts down the dishwasher if a leak occurs, preventing further damage.
  • Adding Utensils Mid-Cycle: Forgotten utensils can be added within 30 seconds of starting the cycle, before the detergent dispenser opens. This involves pausing the wash, waiting 5 seconds, opening the door, adding items, closing the door, and restarting.
  • Changing Program Mid-Cycle: A wash cycle can be changed if it has been running for a short time. If detergent has already been released, the dishwasher needs to be reset, and the detergent dispenser refilled. To reset, press the start/pause button for more than 3 seconds to cancel, then select a new program and press start/pause again.

Maintenance Features:

  • Effective Filtration System: The Aqua 12S features a three-fold filtration system (Coarse, Fine, and Micro Filters) that efficiently prevents food particles and solid residue from clogging the drainage system. This system ensures optimal water circulation and spray intensity. The filters require regular cleaning under running water to maintain optimal performance.
  • Salt Container: The salt container should be refilled when the salt warning light on the control panel illuminates. If salt spills, a quick program like 'RAPID 30' should be run to remove it.
  • Cleaning: The doors and control panel should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Post-Wash Care: After each wash, it is recommended to turn off the power supply and leave the dishwasher door slightly open to prevent moisture and odors from being trapped inside. Dishes should be allowed to cool for 15 minutes with the door open before unloading, starting with the lower basket.
  • Rinse-Aid: For glassware, it is advised to increase the amount of rinse-aid beyond what is normally required for other utensils to maintain shine and texture. Ensure slots for salt, detergent, and rinse-aid are filled before starting any program.
