|
free). |
>POM< |
for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips. |
Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled paper and should be deposited in the waste paper collection for recycling.
As and when you cease to use your dishwasher and withdraw it from service, your should render it unserviceable before having it disposed of.
Warning! Children at play could lock themselves in your dishwasher or otherwise endanger their lives. Therefore cut off the power supply cable and make the door closing device unusable to prevent children from being trapped inside.
For the disposing of the appliance please take it to a recycling centre or to your dealer who may, for a small contribution to the costs, dispose it for you.
Your dishwasher in day-to-day use
●Items that are contaminated by petrol, paint, steel or iron debris, corrosive, acidic or alkaline chemicals must not be washed in this dishwasher.
●Under no circumstances should you open the door whilst the appliance is in operation, especially during the washing phase, hot water may escape. However, if the door is opened, a safety device ensures that the machine stops.
●Only use products (detergent, salt and rinse aid) specifically designed for use in dishwashers.
●Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard.
●Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.
●Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always closed when it is not being loaded or unloaded. In this way you will avoid anybody tripping over the open door and hurting themselves.
●When finishing loading or unloading close the door, as an open door can be a hazard.
●Do not sit or stand on the open door.
●Isolate the appliance from the power supply and turn off the water supply after use.
●This product should be serviced by an authorised service engineer, and only genuine spare parts should be used.
Economical and ecological dishwashing
●Ensure that the water softener is correctly adjusted.
●Do not pre-wash under running water.
●Select the wash programme to suit the nature and degree of the soiling on the dishes.
●Do not use more detergent, dishwasher salt and rinse aid than is recommended in these operating instructions and by the manufacturer of the respective product.

Installation instructions
Any electrical and/or plumbing work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician and/or plumber or competent person.
Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.
If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain.
Fitting under a counter
(kitchen worktop or sink)
By removing the machine’s worktop, you can install it under a close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, providing the dimensions of the recess correspond to those shown in the picture.

Proceed as follows:
Remove the machine’s worktop by unscrewing the two rear retaining screws, pull the worktop from the back of the machine and slide out the front slots, lifting the worktop.
Insert the machine after adjusting height and levelling with the adjustable feet. When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet and drain hoses are not kinked or squashed. During all operations that involve accessibility to internal components the dishwasher has to be unplugged.
Be sure that once the appliance has been installed, it is easily accessible for the consumer service department.
If the dishwasher is later used as a free-standing appliance, the original worktop must be re-mounted.
The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable.
Levelling
Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the door.
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch on either side of the cabinet.
If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.
Water supply connections
This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 60°) or cold water. Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply.
A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a lot.
For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the machine’s supply hose is designed to screw onto a 3/4" inch gas thread spout or to a purpose made quick-coupling tap such as the Press-block.
The water pressure must be within the limits given in the "Technical specifications". Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average mains pressure in your area.
The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled when it is being connected up.
The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation by means of the locknut. The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks. (Attention! NOT all models of dishwashers have fill and drain hoses provided with locknut. In this case, this kind of facility is not possible).
If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not been used for a long time, you should run the water for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose.
Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been used in another appliance.
The dishwasher is fitted with safety devices that prevent the wash water returning into the drinking water system and comply with the applicable plumbing regulations.
Water inlet hose with safety valve
After connecting the double-walled water inlet hose, the safety valve is next to the tap. Therefore the water inlet hose is only under pressure while the water is running. If the water inlet hose starts to leak during this operation, the safety valve cuts off the running water.
Please take care when installing the water inlet hose:
-The electrical cable for the safety valve is in the doublewalled water inlet hose. Do not immerse the water inlet hose or the safety valve in water.
-If water inlet hose or the safety valve is damaged, remove the mains plug immediately.
-A water inlet hose with safety valve must only be replaced by a specialist or by the Service Force Centre.
-Place the water inlet hose in such a way that it is never higher than the bottom edge of the safety valve.

Water outlet hose connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following ways:
1.To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to the underside of the work surface. This will prevent waste water from the sink running into the machine.
2.Hooked over the edge of the sink using the special curved plastic guide (if provided with the machine).
3.To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal diameter 4 cm.
The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the dishwasher.
The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the dishwasher
Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed as this could prevent or slow down the discharge of water.
The sink plug must not be in place when the machine is draining as this could cause the water to syphon back into the machine.
If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer than 2 metres and its internal diameter must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.
CS18 |
Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for connections to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.
Attention!
Our appliances are supplied with a security device to protect against the return of dirty water back into the machine.
If the spigot of your sink has a "no return valve" incorporated this can prevent the correct draining of your dishwasher. We advise you therefore to remove it.
Electrical connection
Information concerning the electrical connection is given on the rating plate on the edge of the dishwasher’s door.
Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket, make sure that:
1.The mains voltage and current rating at the site of installation match the nominal voltage and current rating given on the rating plate.
2.The meter, fuses, mains power supply and wall socket can all take the maximum load required. Make sure that the socket and plug are compatible without having to use any type of adaptor. If necessary, have the domestic wiring system socket replaced.
To isolate the dishwasher from mains, remove the mains plug.
Important!
The plug must still be accessible after the appliance has been installed.
In case that the electrical cable has to be replaced, please contact your local Service Force Centre.
The appliance should not be connected to the electrical supply by means of an extension cable.
Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed.
The manufacture accepts no liability for failure to observe the above safety precautions.
