Important

• Read the instructions prior to installation and use of the appliance.

• Do not lean or climb on the open dishwasher door to prevent damage.

• Close the dishwasher door after use to prevent accidents.

• Use only detergents, salt and rinse aid specifically designed for dishwashers.

• Do not put solvents in the dishwasher detergent compartment to prevent risk of explosion

• Only put dishwasher safe items into the dishwasher. If in doubt, check with the manufacturer of the items.

• Take care when loading the dishwasher to observe the recommendations for best loading practice, and also to ensure

that sharp objects such as knives are placed blade down to prevent accidents.

• Do not open the dishwasher door when a programme is running. If it is necessary to do so, then open it

only slightly to allow the dishwasher to pause the programme and prevent any water spilling out. Remember that the

water in the dishwasher can be very hot when the programme is running.

• When the dishwasher is not in use, we reccomend that you turn off the water supply at the supply tap and disconnect

the main supply.

• If you are leaving the dishwasher for an extended period you should leave the door slightly open to prevent the

formation of unpleasant smells.

• The plastic housing on the water inlet pipe contains an electrically operated valve. The wires that connect to this

valve are inside the inlet hose. Do not cut through the inlet hose, and do not put the plastic housing in water.

• Children could get locked inside the appliance. Therefore when disposing of an old appliance, cut off the plug and

set aside, and damage the door lock so that the door can no longer be closed.

Recommendations

• To reduce energy and water consumption, remove all dirt residues from the dishes prior to loading the dishwasher.

• Only run the dishwasher when fully loaded.

• Place hollow items (bowls, glasses and pans) face down in the basket.

• Do not put dishes or cutlery with tobacco ash, wax, lubricating grease or paint residues in the dishwasher.

Before First Use

• Set the water softener level as required by the water hardness in the area.

• Add 1kg of salt into the salt compartment and then fill with water to the top of the salt compartment.

• Remove all the packaging materials from the interior of the dishwasher.

• Fill the rinse aid compartment.

• Run a hot programme without any dishes in the dishwasher.

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” (figure 2) has lines to allow for specific amounts

of detergent. These are marked at either 15 cm

3

or 25 cm3, to be used

depending on how dirty the dishes are.

If your dishes are in need of an intensive wash, then add 5 cm

3

of

detergent into the prewash section of the compartment “a” (figure 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.

Combination detergents (e.g. 3-in-1 tablets) must not be used in any quick

wash or half load programme.

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.

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.
