Detergent
To fill the detergent compartment
1. Push the latch to open the
compartment.
2. Add the required amount of detergent.
The main detergent compartment (b
in Fig. 1) has lines to allow for specific
amounts of detergent.
These are marked at either 15cm
3
or
25cm3, depending on how dirty the
dishes are.
If your dishes are in need of an
intensive wash, then add 5cm
3
of
detergent into the prewash section
of the compartment (a in Fig 1).
3. Then close the detergent
compartment lid until the latch locks.
Please note: You should only use
detergents designed specifically for use in dishwashers.
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
Fig. 3
If using dishwasher tablets, always use the detergent compartment,
do not put them in the main body of the dishwasher or in the cutlery
basket. The solubility of dishwasher tablets can vary depending on
the temperature and duration of the programme. As a result, it is
recommended that powder detergents should be used in the shorter
programmes to allow better performance.
11
CDA recommends the use of separate detergent, rinse aid and
dishwasher salt rather than combination tablets as separates achieve
better wash performance.
If you do use combination detergents, add salt and rinse aid to the
dishwasher and then adjust the water hardness setting and rinse aid
setting to the minimum. When you then use separate detergents
again, you should fill the salt and rinse aid compartments, adjust the
water hardness setting to the maximum and run an empty wash, then
adjust the water hardness setting and the rinse aid setting to the
appropriate level.
Salt
To ensure the best eciency, the dishwasher needs soft water. Hard
water means that lime residues remain on the dishes and the interior
of the dishwasher, aecting performance. The softener system is
designed to remove the ions that make the water hard to provide the
best quality wash performance. This is achieved by using dishwasher
salt.
To add dishwasher salt
1. Remove the lower dishwasher basket and then unscrew the salt
compartment cap, as shown in Fig. 2 (page 11).
2. Fill the compartment with dishwasher salt (do not use table salt),
carefully to prevent unnecessary spillage. Before first use, you should
fill the compartment with 1kg of dishwasher salt and then fill up the salt
compartment with water (up to the brim of the compartment) as shown
in Fig. 3 (page 11).
12
3. Replace the cap and the lower basket.
When the ‘Salt Warning’ light on the control panel illuminates, you
should refill the salt compartment with salt only – do not add water to
the salt compartment after the first use.
You should run a programme immediately after adding dishwasher
salt, to prevent any damage to the dishwasher systems.
Softener Adjustment
The eciency of your dishwasher depends on the softness of the
tap water. To ensure best eciency, the dishwasher is equipped with
a system that reduces the hardness in the mains water supply. The
eciency will increase when the system is correctly set. To find out
the water hardness level of your water supply you can use the test
strip supplied or alternatively contact your local water board.

4. Shake the testing strip after taking it out of the water.
5. Wait for one minute.
6. Check the number of marks on the strip to see the level of water
hardness.

back in place.
Fig. 6
Rinse Aid Adjustment
The level of rinse aid use is preset to 4. You can adjust the level of
rinse aid use by adjusting as shown in Fig. 6.
If water stains form on the dishes after a wash, the level should be
increased.
If blue stains which can be wiped away are left on the dishes after a
wash, the level should be decreased.

Fitting the decor door
Where non-standard decor doors are to be used, additional fitting
instructions are required to ensure compatibility with this product.
The appliance is supplied with a fitting template and these instructions
should be followed as normal.
However, the fitting template needs to be located lower down the
fascia door. This is shown below:
The amount of oset, Y, depends upon the height of the fascia door
and can be calculated as X = 723mm.
For example, if you have a 731mm tall fascia door and are fitting a
