Installation...

Follow the Installation Instructions, making sure the Dishwasher is correctly installed.

When installing the Dishwasher, carry out tasks in the following order:

-choose a location.

-level the appliance (see,“Adjusting the feet”).

-connect to a drainage system.

-connect inlet hose to water supply.

CHOOSE A LOCATION...

The choice of location for your appliance will influence its performance.

Position where possible on a solid floor. Vibration may occur with a wooden floor.

Take care with vinyl floor coverings. The weight of the appliance may cause indentations in some vinyl floor coverings.

For your safety and to comply with IEE regulations, you should not install your appliance in a bath or shower room.

Seek professional advice if you wish to do so.

Ensure sufficient space is allowed for the appliance.

Ensure the electrical socket and water taps are easily accessible and that the water supply can be isolated if necessary. Do not use an extension lead or multiple plug for connection to the electrical socket.

If your dishwasher is underneath a work surface with a hob. You must

add thermal insulation to the top of the machine.

ADJUSTING THE FEET...

It is essential that the door is closed and latched before stabilising the dishwasher. Ensure that the rear feet are adjusted so that the product is not sitting on the base of the machine. Adjust either clockwise or anti-clockwise as necessary to level.

Then adjust either of the two front feet clockwise or anti-clockwise as necessary until all feet are in contact with the floor to avoid the machine from rocking and is level to within 2˚

Note: If the appliance is not levelled the door may be off centre and make the machine unstable.

Installation...

CONNECT TO A DRAINAGE SYSTEM...

WARNING

Connect your dishwasher drain hose to pipes which connect to the foul drain system and not to surface water drains.

IMPORTANT NOTES

For the correct operation of your dishwasher, it is essential to comply with the following information.

Standpipe

Fit the hose to the standpipe hook which can be found in the machine.

Ensure that the hose is not pushed too far down the standpipe.

DO NOT position the

120

min

standpipe near an electrical

 

outlet.

 

ENSURE that the drain hose is routed as shown in the diagram.

The standpipe should be connected to:

a)A discharge stack-pipe

b)An external gulley OR

c)A sink waste.

The standpipe should have a bore of at least 38mm (11/2"). It should be installed as shown, have a trap fitted and must discharge into the same drain system as your household sink.

It must NOT be connected to a surface water drain.

Sink Waste System

For under sink drainage: Before connecting the drain hose, remove any internal restrictions - This will prevent a build up of debris which could cause a blockage.

Remove any restrictions from the waste spigot and ensure that the sealing bung is removed. The hose should be routed, such that it is raised to a minimum height of 800mm (31/2").

Note: Ensure the sink outlet pipe has a minimum diameter of 32mm (11/4").

1.Untie the end of the GREY drainage hose from the rear of the appliance.

2.Reposition ‘Hooked End Support’ as required along GREY drainage hose.

3.If fitting an under sink waste disposal unit, cut out the membrane, bung or blanking plug.

4.Attach the GREY drainage hose to the under sink waste disposal unit securely, using the clip and rubber tube supplied.

Ensure the drain hose is securely attached, to prevent it coming away while the machine is in use and causing a flood.

Installation...

CONNECT TO THE WATER SUPPLY...

For your machine to operate correctly it requires water pressures in the range of 6-150 psi (100-1000 KPa). Most

cold water supplies will be in this range.

Note: Low water pressure will lead to excessively long fill times or no fill.

Ensure that the new hose supplied is connected and the old hose is disposed of safely.

Ensure the fill hose is only connected to the cold water supply.

WARNING

Ensure the fill hose is NOT kinked.

Note: Do not over tighten the hose connector. Hand tight is sufficient.

Tap connections (if applicable) - A range of adaptors are available to suit your tap.

WARNING

Do not connect appliance to a single outlet instantaneous water heater or an electric heater.

Remember you may be charged for a service call if a problem with your appliance is caused by incorrect installation or misuse.

CHECKLIST...

When you have installed your appliance, ensure it is ready to use by following this Check List:

1.Dispose of packaging safely, see ‘Recycling Information’ on page 2.

2.Position appliance close to electrical/water supply see ‘Choose a Location’ on page 4.

3.Connect supplied hose to appliance water supply, confirm water is flowing before connecting to the appliance inlet valve see ‘Connect to a Water Supply’, page 6.

4.Untie drainage hose at rear of appliance and connect to either a standpipe or sink waste drainage system see ‘Connect to a Drainage System’ page 5.

5.Untie mains lead at rear of appliance and plug into electrical supply via a switched socket, see ‘Electrical Supply’ on page 3.

6.Position appliance, taking care not to kink or damage hose at rear of appliance.

ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENER...

In order to rinse dishes and glasses satisfactorily, the dishwasher requires soft water i.e containing little or no lime, otherwise water stains are left behind on crockery and glasses etc. If the tap water exceeds a certain level of hardness, it must be softened, ie. decalcified, so that it can be used in the dishwasher.

The water Softener should be properly adjusted to optimise salt consumption and for best washing results.

In order to ensure that the correct amount of salt is being used to regenerate the water softener, the water hardness adjuster needs to be set accordingly. To set this correctly the hardness of your water needs to be ascertained. Find on the table the level corresponding to the hardness of your water and the required adjustments or contact your local Water company to find the exact water hardness level for your area.

Press and hold the Economy 50˚ button and set the mains switch 1

to ON, the Salt Indicator light 4 will flash. This shows that the Water Softener programme can now be adjusted.

After releasing the Economy 50˚ and Mains Switch buttons, the normal 65˚ and the Economy 50˚ light neons will be illuminated, showing that the factory set value is 2 (see table below). The Salt Indicator light will continue to flash until the setting is chosen.

To change the setting:

Press the Economy 50˚ button. Each depression of the button increases the set value by one (0-3). If the Normal 65˚ button, Economy 50˚ button and the Quick Wash 35˚ button illuminate the maximum hardness value has been reached. See the table below.

After reaching 3, the display starts at 0 again (none of the 3 buttons will be illuminated).

Switch off the Mains Switch 1 . The set value is stored in the appliance.

Approx. 4 litres of water are required for regenerating the water softening system. The overall water consumption per load can therefore be increased by between 0 and a maximum of 4 litres according to the water hardness setting.
