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.

• THIS APPLIANCE IS FITTED WITH A SAFETY FUNCTION THAT

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.

7

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.

11. AFTER UNLOADING THE DISWASHER, REMOVE THE FILTER,
CLEAN OFF ANY BITS OF FOOD, AND PUT THE FILTER BACK IN
ITS POSITION.

NOTE

THE ‘DRAIN’ MODE. THIS IS BECAUSE THE DRAIN PUMP ALWAYS RETAINS A SMALL
AMOUNT OF WATER (IN THE SUMP) FROM THE PREVIOUS CYCLE. THIS IS
NECESSARY TO KEEP THE PUMP PRIMED. THEREFORE, DO NOT BE ALARMED IF YOU
SEE A SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER BEING PUMPED-OUT FROM THE DRAIN HOSE

FILTERING SYSTEM

FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE, WE HAVE PLACED THE FILTERING SYSTEM
WITHIN EASY REACH INSIDE THE TUB. THE FILTER REMOVES BITS OF
FOOD TRAPPED IN THE FILTER FROM THE WASH WATER SO IT CAN BE
RECIRCULATED DURING THE CYCLE. THERE ARE THREE PARTS TO THE
FILTERING SYSTEM:

12

BAUMATIC MINI 4 dishwasher user manual

1) THE STAINLESS STEEL MICRO FILTER - LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE INNER BOX.
THIS PERFORATED STAINLESS STEEL PLATE TRAP S L ARGE PARTICLES OF FOOD THAT
WOULD OTHERWISE BE RECIRCULATED AROUND WITH THE DISHWATER DURING A
CYCLE.

2) THE CONICAL FILTER. THIS IS THE FIRST CIRCULAR-SHAPED FILTER THAT LIES
IMMEDIATELY IN THE HOLE OF THE MICROFILTER PLATE. THIS WILL TRAP LARGE
PIECES OF FOOD, ETC.

3) THE FINE MESH FILTER. THIS IS THE SECOND CIRCULAR-SHAPED FILTER THAT LIES
ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE COARSE FILTER. IT CATCHES AND TRAPS FINER DEBRIS
FROM THE WASH WATER AS IT TRAVELS THROUGH THE FILTERING SYSTEM, ENABLING
THE WASH WATER TO STAY FREE OF FOOD RESIDUES.

Caring for your Dishwasher

13

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE SURFACES OF YOUR APPLIANCE

• TO CLEAN THE EXTERIOR OF YOUR DISHWASHER (INCLUDING THE CONTROL PANEL), USE A LIGHTLY
DAMPENED CLOTH THEN DRY THOROUGHLY.

NEVER USE SHARP OBJECTS, SCOURING PADS OR

HARSH CLEANERS ON ANY PART OF THE APPLIANCE. SOME PAPER TOWELS CAN SCRATCH.

• TO CLEAN THE EDGE AROUND THE DOOR,

ONLY EVER USE A SOFT WARM, DAMP RAG.
DO NOT USE A SPRAY CLEANER HERE OR
WHEN CLEANING THE DOOR PANEL AS THIS
MAY HARM THE DOOR LOCK AND
ELECTRICAL PARTS.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS

THE SPRAY ARMS NEED REGULAR CLEANING AS HARD WATER RESIDUES WILL CLOG THEIR

JETS & BEARINGS. TO REMOVE THE SPRAY ARM, SCREW OFF THE NUT TO TAKE OUT THE

WASHER ON TOP OF THE SPRAY ARM AND REMOVE THE ARM. WASH THE ARMS IN SOAPY

WARM WATER & USE A SOFT BRUSH TO CLEAN THE JETS. REPLACE THE SPRAY ARM AFTER

RINSING IT THOROUGHLY.

13

BAUMATIC MINI 4 dishwasher user manual

14

CLEANING THE FILTERS

• THE FILTER ASSEMBLY MUST BE KEPT CLEAN FOR BEST PERFORMANCE. You should remove the
larger bits of food trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing them under running water.
To remove the filter assembly, pull up on the cup handle.

• The entire filter assembly should be cleaned at least once a month.

• To clear the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter parts

as shown in the figure above and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher in its seat & press
downward to secure it.

• Improper replacement of the filter may impair appliance performance and damage dishes and
utensils.

• Warning - never

run the dishwasher without the filters in

place!

• Warning - Before cleaning the inner cavity of the appliance

always allow 15 minutes for the Element to cool down to avoid
injury!

HOW TO KEEP YOUR DISHWASHER IN SHAPE

AFTER EVERY WASH, leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odours are not trapped
inside.

REMOVE THE PLUG before cleaning or performing maintenance. Never run the risk of electric
shocks.

DO NOT USE SOLVENTS OR ABRASIVE CLEANING AGENTS to clean the exterior and the rubber
parts of the dishwasher. Only use a cloth and warm soapy water. To remove spots or stains
from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar,
or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.

14

BAUMATIC MINI 4 dishwasher user manual

15

WHEN YOU GO ON HOLIDAY, run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty. Then unplug it, turn
off the water supply and leave the door slightly ajar to prevent odours and mould from
developing.

MOVING THE APPLIANCE is possible but KEEP IT UPRIGHT.

SEALS can trap food, which in turn will cause odours. Periodic cleaning with a damp cloth or

sponge will prevent this from becoming a problem.

PROTECTING YOUR DISHWASHER AGAINST FREEZING

If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a
service technician to:

Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or trip circuit

1)

breaker.

2) Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water

valve & discharge hoses.

3) Drain water from the inlet pipe and water valve (Use a pan to catch the

water).

4) Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.

5) Remove the plastic sump cover in the tub bottom and use a sponge to soak

up water in the rubber boot.

INSTALLATION________

ELECTRICAL NOTES

YOU NEED AN ELECTRICAL SUPPLY OF 220-240 VOLTS ONLY, 50HZ.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A SUITABLE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY SOCKET CLOSE TO WHERE

YOU WANT TO PLACE THE DISHWASHER. FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY, THE
APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. THE APPLIANCE IS EQUIPPED WITH A POWER
SUPPLY CORD HAVING A 3-PIN GROUNDING PLUG. TO MINIMIZE POSSIBLE SHOCK

17

BAUMATIC MINI 4 dishwasher user manual

HAZARDS, IT MUST BE PLUGGED INTO A MATCHING 3-PIN GROUNDING TYPE
ELECTRICAL OUTLET.

IF THE MAINS PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME OR IS
REMOVED FOR ANY OTHER REASON, THEN THE CUT OFF PLUG SHOULD BE DISPOSED
OF SAFELY TO PREVENT THE HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. REMOVE ALL PACKING MATERIALS CAREFULLY

2. THE WATER INLET HOSE FROM THE MACHINE ENDS IN A 3/4” FEMALE CONNECTOR

(IE. - TUBE/HOLE/SOCKET OPENING). THE WATER SUPPLY SHOULD THEREFORE END
IN A SIMILAR MALE CONNECTOR (IE. – PIPE / PRONG ENDED) AND THERE SHOULD
BE A STOPCOCK CLOSE BY IN THE PIPE.
YOU SHOULD CONNECT THE STRAIGHT CONNECTOR OF THE INLET HOSE TO THE
WATER SUPPLY SECURELY. CONNECT THE OTHER END (BENT CONNECTOR) TO THE
WATER INLET VALVE AT THE BACK OF THE DISHWASHER CABINET. DO NOT OVER­TIGHTEN OR YOU WILL DAMAGE THE THREADS.

3. PREPARE THE DRAINAGE HOSE SO IT HAS A HOOKED END. USE THE PLASTIC U-
BEND FITTING PROVIDED FOR THIS PURPOSE. THE END OF THIS SHOULD BE
DROPPED INTO A DRAINAGE STANDPIPE. THIS STANDPIPE SHOULD BE NO MORE
THAN 6” ABOVE THE BASE OF THE DISHWASHER. TO ALLOW FOR AN AIR GAP
AROUND THE END OF THE DRAIN HOSE, THE DIAMETER OF THE STANDPIPE SHOULD
BE AT LEAST 30MM. CONNECT THE OTHER END OF THE DRAIN HOSE (L-SHAPED) TO
THE DRAIN PORT CONNECTION AT THE BACK OF THE DISHWASHER CABINET (SEE
PAGE 5). TIGHTEN THE DRAIN HOSE END ON TO THE DRAIN PORT USING THE
METAL CLIP INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE.

4. IF YOU WANT, YOU CAN CONNECT THE WATER INLET HOSE TO THE KITCHEN SINK
TAP. YOU MUST OBTAIN CORRECT FITTINGS / ADAPTORS TO MATCH THE INLET
HOSE CONNECTORS TO ENSURE A SECURE CONNECTION. HOWEVER, PERMANENT
PLUMBING IS RECOMMENDED.

18

18

BAUMATIC MINI 4 dishwasher user manual

5. IF YOU FIND A LEAK, SHUT THE WATER SUPPLY OFF IMMEDIATELY AND CHECK THE
HOSE CONNECTIONS FULLY. TIGHTEN CONNECTIONS, IF NEEDS BE.

6. IF FOR ANY REASON YOU ARE UNABLE TO STOP THE LEAK YOURSELF, PLEASE SEEK
ADVICE FROM A QUALIFIED PLUMBER.

7. THE MINIMUM HEIGHT CLEARANCE REQUIRED TO INSTALL YOUR DISHWASHER ON A
COUNTERTOP SURFACE WITH OVERHEAD CUPBOARDS IS 19” (48CM).

8. MAKE SURE THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY WITHIN EASY REACH OF THE
MACHINE. THE POWER CORD IS 6 FEET (182.8CM) LONG.

9. THE DISHWASHER MUST BE INSTALLED ON A ‘SOLID’ LEVEL SURFACE.

10. TO LEVEL THE DISHWASHER, ADJUST THE 4 LEVEL SCREWS (FEET) UNDER THE

DISHWASHER.

19

WATER PRESSURE

FOR BEST OPERATING RESULTS, INCOMING WATER PRESURE SHOULD BE BETWEEN 0.5
AND 10 BAR. INCOMING WATER SUPPLY FOR THE DISHWASHER IS CONTROLLED BY A
‘PRESSURE SWITCH’ APPLICATION, SO IF THE WATER PRESSURE IN YOUR HOME IS LOW,
THE DISHWASHER WILL TAKE LONGER TO FILL WITH WATER.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT YOUR MINI 4 TO A HOT TAP!

FOR BEST RESULTS:
