CE Declarations of Conformity:
This appliance has been designed, constructed and marketed in compliance with safety requirements of EEC Directives
89/336/EC, 2006/95/EC, IEC436/DIN44990, EN 50242
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EC
DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC.
At the end of its working life, the product must be taken to a special local authority waste collection centre or to a dealer
providing appliance recycling services.
Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible negative consequences for the environment and health
deriving from inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent materials to be recovered to obtain significant savings
in energy and resources. As a reminder of the need to dispose of household appliances separately, the product is marked
with a crossed-out wheeled dustbin.
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.

Detergent

fig 1
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 figure 1) has lines to allow for specific amounts of detergent.
These are marked at either 15 cm
the dishes are.
If your dishes are in need of an intensive wash, then add 5 cm
detergent into the prewash section of the compartment (a in 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.
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.

or 25 cm3, depending on how dirty
3
of
fig. 1
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 efficiency, the dishwasher needs soft water. Hard water
means that lime residues remain on the dishes and the interior of the
dishwasher, affecting 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, follow the steps below:
1. Remove the lower dishwasher basket and then unscrew the salt
compartment cap, as shown in figure 2.
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 2kg of dishwasher salt and then fill up the salt
compartment with water (up to the brim of the compartment) as shown
in figure 3.
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 efficiency of your dishwasher depends on the softness of the tap water. To ensure best efficiency, the dishwasher
is equipped with a system that reduces the hardness in the mains water supply. The efficiency 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.
1. Open the testing strip.
2. Run water through the tap for one minute.
3. Hold the testing strip in water for one second.
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.
If the hardness of the water you use is above 60 dE or if you are using well water; you are recommended to use lter and
water refinement devices.
Please note: The level of water hardness is preset to level 3.

Rinse Aid Adjustment
The level of rinse aid use is preset to 3. You can adjust the level of rinse aid
use by adjusting as shown in figure 6.
If water stains form on the dishes after a wash, the level should be increased.

2. Turn the microfilter anticlockwise and then lift it out as in figure 9.
3. Remove the coarse lter from the microlter (gure 10).
4. Remove the base filter from the dishwasher compartment (figure 11).
You should clean and rinse the filters thoroughly before replacing all the
sections in reverse order to that above. The microfilter should lock into
place once it is secure as shown in figure 12.
Please note: Never run a programme without the filters in place.
Incorrect fitting of the filters may reduce wash performance and
potentially damage your appliance.

Electrical information
Warning! This appliance must be earthed.
The mains lead of this appliance has been fitted with a BS 1363A 13 amp fused plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug,
follow the steps below:
1. Remove the fuse cover and fuse.
2. Fit replacement 13A fuse, ASTA approved to BS 1362 type, into the fuse cover.
3. Replace fuse cover.
Important: Do not use the appliance without the fuse cover in position.
How to connect an alternative plug
If the tted plug is not suitable for your socket outlet, then it should be cut off and disposed of safely to avoid the risk of
electric shock. A suitable alternative plug of at least 13 Amp rating to BS 1363 should be used.
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:-
• The wire which is coloured GREEN and YELLOW must be connected to the terminal which is marked with letter (E) or
by the Earth symbol or coloured GREEN and YELLOW.
• The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter (N), or
coloured BLACK or BLUE.
• The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter (L) or
coloured RED or BROWN.
If in doubt regarding the electrical connection of this appliance, consult a qualied electrician. Do not shorten the
supply cable, the appliance may require removing for servicing.
N.B. Ensure that the plug socket is situated in an easily accessible place.
Installation
• Do not install this appliance if it is damaged in any way. Installing a
damaged appliance may invalidate the warranty.
• The water supply tap should be located in an adjacent cupboard so that it
can be accessed after installation.
• Ensure the appliance is level by adjusting the feet as necessary.
• Only use the water inlet supplied with the appliance.
• If the water pressure is above 10 bar, a pressure relief valve should be used.
• After connecting the water supply, check to ensure there are no leaks.
• The water outlet can either be connected to a water drain or to a sink outlet
spigot. This connection should be at a minimum of 50 cm and a maximum
of 110 cm from the oor. The drain hose should be no longer than 4m in
length to ensure good performance from the dishwasher.
