Please read all instructions before using your
dishwasher. Use your dishwasher only as inst­ructed in this Use and Care Manual. Installation
and grounding instructions are included with
your new diswasher for the installer´s reference.

• This dishwasher is designed to operate on regular
house current (115 V, 60 Hz). Use a separate circuit
equipped with a 15 ampere fuse or circuit breaker.
The appliance must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electric shock by providing a path of
least resistance for electric current. This appliance
is equipped with a cord having an equipment­grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.

• Do not operate dishwasher unless metal cabinet
wrapper is properly in place. Electrical shock may
occur from exposed wires or other electrical com­ponents.

• Dispose of discarded appliance and shipping or
packing material properly.

• Keep young children and infants away from the
dishwasher when it is operating.

• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish
rack of the dishwasher.

• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to
play in or on a dishwasher.

• Do not touch the heating element during or imme­diately after use.

• USE ONLY DETERGENTS OR WETTING
AGENTS RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN A
DISHWASHER AND KEEP THEM OUT OF
THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

• Always disconnect electrical power to the dish­washer before servicing.

• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service repre­sentative if you are in doubt whether the appliance
is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provi­ded with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

• To avoid entrapment and/or suffocation, remove
the door from any dishwasher that is discarded or
otherwise not in use.

• Do not wash plastic items unless marked ”dish­washer safe” or the equivalent. Check with the
manufacturer for recommendations, if not marked.
Items that are not dishwasher safe may melt and
create a potential fire hazard.

• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been
used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been
used for such a period, before using the dishwas­her, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water
flow from each for several minutes. This will release
any accumulated hydrogen gas. HYDROGEN
GAS IS FLAMMABLE. Do not smoke or use an
open flame during this time.

• Do not tamper with the controls. Any improper
adjustments may subject the user to risk of injury
or electrical shock.

• Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to
damage the door seal and load sharp knives with
the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

• To prevent children from opening the dishwasher
door, close and latch the door when not loading or
unloading.

• Do not use this dishwasher for any purpose other
than its intended use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

The instructions appearing in this Use & Care Manual are not meant
to cover every possible condition and situation that may occur.

Care and cleaning

Rinse conditioner dispenser (1)

Use of a rinse conditioner will result in cleaner and
faster drying of the load, since it helps water and soil
to run off. Too much conditioner may result in strea­kiness, too little may cause white spots. The dispen­ser holds about 140 ml. This is enough for
40-70 wash cycles, depending on the dosage setting.
When the rinse conditioner level is approaching the
bottom of the scale it is time to refill the dispenser.
Swivel out the filler trough and carefully fill up with
rinse conditioner until the level reaches the red mark
on the level indicator tube. Do not overfill, and care­fully wipe off any spillage to prevent sudsing pro­blems. Don't forget to close the filler trough after­wards. Adjust the dosage setting according to the
hardness of the water. Begin with the lowest dosage
setting and increase as necessary by turning the
arrow clockwise. Note! Do not fill the rinse conditio­ner dispenser with liquid detergent.

Spray arm (2)

It is important to keep all the holes in the spray arm
clear. A clogged hole can seriously affect washing
efficiency. If the spray arm needs cleaning, unscrew
the nut clockwise (left-hand thread) and lift off the
spray arm. Clear the holes and shake out any food
remnants.

Coarse strainer (3)

The purpose of the coarse strainer is to catch large
objects such as toothpicks and pieces of eggshell.
Make sure that the strainer is always clean. Lift it out
and rinse it under running water whenever necessary.

Fine filter (4)

It is just as important to keep this filter clean. A dirty
or clogged filter will always impair washing efficiency.
The fine filter can easily be removed for cleaning
when you have removed the coarse strainer.

Detergent dispenser (5)

For a normal load pour about 1-2 tablespoons of
granular dishwasher detergent on the inner door.

Cleaning

If hard water causes lime deposit buildup, e.g. on
the heating element, follow these instructions:

1. Run on Wash cycle.

2. After dishwasher begins to fill, open door and
pour 1/4 cup of white vinegar into dishwasher.
Do not add dishes or detergent.

3. Run through the full cycle.

Loading

How to load the dishwasher

The illustration shows the machine loaded with five place settings.
Your own dishes are not likely to be identical to this load, but if
you follow the advice below we are sure you will be pleased with
the results.

- Always place glasses, cups and bowls upside down.

- Incline deep dishes (soup plates etc.) so that the water can run
off when drying.

- Make sure that the dishes do not rest against each other. This
is particularly important in regard to the cutlery basket - nested
spoons, etc. simply cannot be properly washed. MAKE SURE

THAT THE WATER CAN GET AT ALL THE SOILED SURFA­CES.

- Make sure that cutlery with slender handles and other items do
not protrude through the openings in the basket and prevent the
spray arm from rotating.

- Never put silver and stainless steel objects together. When
these metals come into contact with each other a chemical
reaction occurs which stains the silver.

- China with a pattern applied on top of the glaze may not be sui­table for machine washing as the colours may fade and lose
their lustre. The same applies to cutlery with wooden or plastic
handles.

- Not all plastic articles are machine washable. If you are in
doubt as to whether your plastic-ware can be washed in the
machine, we suggest you check by washing a single item or
else wash them by hand.

MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS BUY ARTICLES THAT ARE
MACHINE WASHABLE IN FUTURE.

- Aluminium becomes dull and tarnished when machine washed.
The machine gets it clean, but at the expense of its appearance.

- Substances such as ketchup containing strong colouring
agents can cause temporary discoloration in the machine.

Installation

Countertop Use

Positioning

In its standard version the machine is intended for instal­lation on a kitchen counter or worktop.

TO FUNCTION PROPERLY THE MACHINE MUST BE
FULLY LEVEL. Its height can be adjusted with the adjus-

table fe e t ( 8 mm each).

Water supply

The temperature of the water supply should not exceed
150° F and the pressure should be between 5 - 142
lbs/sq inch. It is important to have a faucet positioned
close to the machine and with easy access. Special thre­aded mixer taps are available, as well as adaptors for
older mixer taps. Consult your local plumbing supplier.
Insert the combination rubber washer/filter and connect
the inlet hose (1) to a tap with a 3/4" pipe thread. The inlet
hose must not be joined onto any form of extension hose.
If it is too short, the entire hose must be replaced with a
longer high-pressure hose, specially designed for the pur­pose. The machine end of this hose can be turned in any
direction. Loosen the retaining nut, turn the hose, then
retighten the nut.
A hose that attaches to a sink spray can burst if it is
installed on the same water line as the dishwasher. If your
sink has one, it is recommended that the hose be discon­nected and the hole plugged.

Discharge connection

Connect the discharge hose to the pipe stub at the rear of
the dishwasher, using the hose clip supplied.
It is important to push the discharge hose (2) onto the
pipe stub as far as it will go and tighten the hose clip (3)
as hard as possible. Place the other end of the discharge
hose over the sink as illustrated.

The discharge hose must not at any point rise higher than
the top of the dishwasher. If it runs higher, operation of
the dishwasher might be impaired. It is also important to
ensure that the inside diameter of the hose is not less
than 13 mm at any point. If the discharge hose is too long
it can easily be cut to the right length.

- Cut the hose to a suitable length, using a sharp knife.

- Fit the elbow supplied onto the end of the hose.

Electrical connection

The dishwasher must be connected to an grounded wall
socket which should be easily accessible and protected by
a 15 Amp fuse. Before any work is carried out on the
machine it must be isolated from the electric supply, for
example by removing the plug from the wall socket.

Built-In Use

Installation Tips

Direct from the box, the dishwasher may be installed in a
built-in manner. The use of the Origo Built-In Kit is recom­mended.

Clean dishes require adequate hot water. Supply water tem­perature of 140° F (60° C) is desirable; 120° F (49° C) is
minimum; 150° F (65° C) is maximum. A minimum water
supply line of 3/8” (outside diameter is recommended. Water
pressure should be 5 - 142 PSI.

A separate 15 Amp, grounded 115 V AC electrical supply is
required.

The connection point of the discharge hose to either the sink
drain line or the disposal shall not located on a plane above
the top of the installed dishwasher . If the dishwasher drain hose
is connected to a garbage disposal for the first time, remem­ber to knock out the plug inside the disposal inlet.

To function properly, the dishwasher must be level. Each
foot is adjustable to approximately 5/16” for this purpose.

Minimum rough-in opening dimensions are:
19” W x 19” H x 19 1/2” D. Two trim kits are available to
complete the finished look:
For cutouts to 19 3/4” use PN

DW 119 TKE; for cutouts on

standard 24” wide cabinets use PN

DW 124 TK.

If holes are necessary in cabinet partitions to access water
and drain, it is best to restrict the cutouts to 2” diameter and
locate these in the very lower back corners of the rough-in
opening.

Water Supply

The water supply temperature should be approximately 140°
F, but not to exceed 150° F. The inlet filter fitting on the dish­washer is 3/4” pipe thread.

Note: Do not use the furnished drain hose as a water
supply line or a rubber garden hose.

Copper tubing, if used, must have a minimum outside dia­meter of 3/8”. High pressure plastic tubing with a minimum
inside diameter of 1/4” may be used where permitted by local
plumbing codes. All tubing or hose must be free of kinks and
debris. It is recommended to flush the

water line before con-

necting it to the inlet filter connection.
It is recommended that an accessible shut-off valve be instal-

led outside the dishwasher cabinet.

Built-In Use

Installation Tips
Discharge connection

Connect the discharge hose to the pipe stub at the rear
of the dishwasher, using the hose clamp supplied.
It is important to push the drain hose onto the drain port
as far as possible.

It is recommended that the dishwasher drain be connec­ted to either an existing sink drain or disposal. Local
codes may require that the drain line be connected to
house plumbing with a drain air cap.

The drain hose attachment point must be located on
a plane below the top surface of the dishwasher.

If the hose attachment point at the sink or disposal is
located above the drain stub on the machine, the drain
hose must have a fixed loop (secured with suitable
clamp or support) at a height above the top of the dish­washer.

Connect the 3/4” drain hose adapter to the drain hose
end. Use a drain hose clamp (not included) to connect
the hose to the sink drain or disposer. Entry direct into
the sink drain must be above the trap.

Electrical connection

The dishwasher must be connected to an grounded wall
socket, preferably on a separate circuit protected by a
15 amp fuse or circuit breaker.
Only after the dishwasher has been positioned inside its
enclosure, secured and hoses connected should electri­cal connection be made.

In the event of a fault

• If water leaks from the machine • Turn off the water supply tap or stopcock

immediately and isolate the machine from the
electrical supply by removing the plug from the
wall socket.

• Check that all seals, seams and connections are
watertight.

There is always a certain risk of leakages in any machine connected to a water supply, no matter what
water safety features it may have. Therefore it is advisable always to turn off the water supply tap when the
machine is not in use.

Check the following before calling a repairman:

• Dishwasher fails to start • Is the door properly closed?

• Is the water tap or stopcock on?

• Is the dishwasher plugged in?

• Has the fuse blown?

• Water not discharged at end of cycle • Did you open the door before the cycle ended?

• Are the strainers/filters clogged?

• Is the discharge hose blocked?

• Dishes not washed satisfactorily • Has anything prevented the spray arm from

rotating?

• Were the dishes packed too close together?

• Did you use enough detergent?
(Correct amount: about 1-2 tablespoons/load)

• Clean the strainers/filters!

• Check that the rinse conditioner dispenser is not
empty.

• Check that the spray arm holes are not clogged.

• Are the strainers/filters fitted correctly in place?

• Dishes dull or streaky • Limescale from hard water has probably formed in

the machine and is being deposited on the dishes.
Buy a limescale remover and follow the instructions
on the package to descale the dishwasher.

Trouble shooting list

If you still cannot remedy the problem after following
the steps above, call a repairman.

Service and spare parts can be ordered from your
dealer. There you will also be able to obtain advice
on how to rectify the fault yourself, if possible.

Never attempt to repair the dishwasher yourself.
Repairs carried our by unauthorised or inexperienced
persons can cause injury or other machine faults.

Before calling the dealer or a service centre, make a
