IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ BEFORE USING!

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• NOTE - This 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 of electrical
current. You will be able to tell if it is because a non-grounded
appliance will give off an electrical discharge.

• IF POWER SUPPLY CORD IS DAMAGED, IT MUST ONLY BE

REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER OR ITS SERVICE AGENT OR A
SIMILARLY QUALIFIED PERSON TO AVOID A HAZARD.

AUTOMATICALLY STOPS THE OPERATION OF THE DISHWASHER
WHEN IT IS EXPOSED TO ANY HEAVY DISTURBANCE ON ITS
MAINS.

Note on chemicals used by your dishwasher:

Your dishwasher is equipped with rinse aid and water softening dispensers. Using detergent, rinse
aid and salt individually will give the best possible results as this will give the correct dosage of each
chemical to suit your needs.

• Using Two-in-One or Three-in-One tablets may not give the best results when used in your appliance,
and may not be suitable for the type of water supply in your home, as they contain pre-determined
quantities of salt, rinse aid and detergent and cannot be adjusted to the individual requirements.

• If you are going to use 3-in-1 (or 2-in-1) tablets, we suggest that you contact the manufacturer before
use or if you experience poor results in the wash performance and ask for assistance from them.

IF YOU USE 3-IN-1 OR 2-IN-1 TABLETS, BE
SURE NOT TO ADD SALT AND/OR RINSE AID
TO THE APPLIANCE AS THESE TABLET
TYPES ALREADY CONTAIN SALT AND/OR

WARNING:

RINSE AID. ADDING SALT AND RINSE AID
TO YOUR DISHWASHER’S COMPARTMENTS
IN A CYCLE INVOLVING A 3-IN-1 OR 2-IN-1
TABLET WILL RESULT IN OVERDOSING OF
INDIVIDUAL CHEMICALS AND MAY CAUSE
OVERFLOWING OF WATER AND SUDS.

YOUR
DISHWASHER’S
WATER SOFTENING
FEATURE

HOW TO USE THE WATER SOFTENER.

THE HARDNESS OF THE WATER VARIES FROM PLACE
TO PLACE. IF HARD WATER IS USED IN THE
DISHWASHER, DEPOSITS WILL FORM ON THE
DISHES AND UTENSILS. YOUR DISHWASHER IS
EQUIPPED WITH A WATER SOFTENER WHICH USES
A SALT SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO ELIMINATE THE
MINERALS FROM THE WATER THAT WOULD
OTHERWISE LEAVE DEPOSITS ON YOUR DISHES
AFTER WASHING.

YOUR WATER SOFTENER’S SALT CONTAINER
NEEDS TO BE LOADED WITH DISHWASHER
SALT BEFORE YOU USE YOUR DISHWASHER
FOR THE FIRST TIME. PLEASE FOLLOW THESE
DIRECTIONS FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE:

1) LOAD THE SALT BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF A WASH CYCLE SO AS TO
PREVENT CORROSION.

2) USE ONLY DISHWASHER SALT. OTHER TYPES OF SALT CAN DO
IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO YOUR APPLIANCE.

LOADING THE SALT INTO THE CONTAINER.

1) UNSCREW THE CAP FROM THE
SALT CONTAINER
ANTICLOCKWISE. THE
CONTAINER IS ON THE RIGHT
HAND SIDE OF THE INNER BOX.

2) LOAD THE SALT INTO THE
CONTAINER. EACH TIME YOU MAY
LOAD 250G OF SALT, WHICH CAN
BE USED FOR 15 CYCLES.

3) FILL THE WATER INTO THE SALT
CONTAINER UNTIL A SMALL
AMOUNT OF WATER COMES OUT
(THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT WHEN
YOU USE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME).

4) SCREW THE CAP BACK ON

NOTE:

CAREFULLY.

USING A RINSE AID

YOU CAN HELP PREVENT UNSIGHTLY SPOTS ON DISHES AND GLASSWARE, AND REDUCE

DRYING TIME BY USING RINSE AID. A RINSE AID IS SPECIALLY FORMULATED TO RINSE AWAY

6

BAUMATIC MINI 4 dishwasher user manual

FOOD AND DETERGENT RESIDUES THAT CAN BE LEFT BEHIND ON YOUR DISHES. USED
REGULARLY, RINSE AID WILL AUTOMATICALLY PROVIDE YOU WITH CLEANER DISHES EVERY
TIME YOU WASH.

• TO FILL THE RINSE AID DISPENSER,
UNSCREW THE DISPENSER CAP LOCATED AT
THE BACK OF THE INNER BOX AT THE TOP
RIGHT.

• ADD THE RINSE AGENT SLOWLY INTO THE
CONTAINER UNTIL IT JUST REACHES THE
BOTTOM OF THE FILLING CAP INSIDE THE
DISPENSER OPENING.

• REPLACE THE CAP.

• THE DISPENSER AUTOMATICALLY RELEASES

THE RINSE AID INTO THE FINAL RINSE
WATER.

Add the rinse
aid in this hole.

USING DETERGENT IN YOUR DISHWASHER

USING THE RIGHT DETERGENT

USE ONLY DETERGENT SPECIFICALLY MADE FOR USE IN DISHWASHERS, AS OTHER
TYPES WILL CAUSE OVERSUDSING AND FROTHING. IF YOUR DETERGENT IS OLD
AND/OR LUMPY, THROW IT AWAY. OLD DETERGENT LOSES ITS WASHING POWER.
LUMPY DETERGENT WON’T DISSOLVE.

HOW MUCH DETERGENT SHOULD YOU USE?

• THIS DEPENDS ON IF YOUR WATER IS ‘HARD’ OR ‘SOFT’.

• HARDER WATER REQUIRES MORE DETERGENT TO GET DISHES CLEAN

• SOFT WATER REQUIRES LESS DETERGENT TO GET DISHES CLEAN.

The loading groove
for the detergent

• THE DETERGENT LOADING GROOVE (pictured above) ON THE INSIDE

DOOR PANEL WILL HOLD APPROX. 7 GRAMS OF DETERGENT. ALWAYS
FOLLOW THE DETERGENT MANUFACTURER’S GUIDELINES.

BEFORE YOU LOAD YOUR DISHWASHER,

MAKE SURE THAT YOUR DISHWASHER IS CONNECTED TO THE COLD WATER SUP PLY.

CHECK THAT THE FILTER (ITEM 11 IN THE DIAGRAM ON PAGE 5) IS SECURELY IN PLACE.
