Installation

ISHWASHER

Choose where you want to install your dishwasher, you can place it so that its sides or back panel are side by side with furniture or up against the wall. The dishwasher is provided with water supply and drain hoses, which can be directed towards the left or right to facilitate appropriate installation.

Levelling.

Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet by screwing them in or out depending on how high you want it and to level it so that it is horizontal. Make sure that it is not inclined more than 2 degrees. If the appliance is level, it will help ensure its correct operation.

Height Adjustment

Insert the appliance into the cutout and then adjust the height using the screws located on the front bottom part of the machine. Use a screwdriver to turn the screws in the clockwise or anti-clockwise direction to increase or decrease the height respectively.

Cold water connection. Connect the cold water supply hose, inserting the small filter supplied with the dishwasher and making sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see figure 2). If the water hoses are new or have been out of use for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free of impurities before making the connection. If this precaution is not taken, the water inlet could get blocked, causing damage to your dishwasher.

Fig.2

Drain hose connection.

WARNING: Connect your dishwasher drain hose to pipes which connect to the foul drain system and not to surface water drains. IMPORT ANT: For the correct operation of your dishwasher, it is essential to comply with the following information:-

Standpipe:

Ensure that the hose is not pushed too far down the standpipe. If the end of your drain hose is fitted with ‘retaining flaps’, ensure they are inserted fully into the standpipe. This will prevent the pipe from jumping out during installation and use.

DO NOT position the standpipe near an electrical outlet. ENSURE that the drain hose is not kinked and it is routed as shown in the diagram.

The standpipe should have a bore of at least 38mm (11/2”). It should be installed as shown, have a trap fitted and must discharge into the same drain system as your household sink. It MUST NOT be connected to a surface water drain.

Sink Waste System:

For under sink drainage: Before connecting the drain hose, remove any internal restrictions - This will prevent a build up of debris which could cause a blockage. Remove any restrictions from the waste spigot and ensure that the sealing bung is removed. The hose should be routed, such that it is raised to a minimum height of 800mm (31/2”).

NOTE: Ensure the sink outlet pipe has a minimum diamtere of 32mm.

1. Untie the end of the GREY drainage hose from the rear of the appliance.

2. Reposition the ‘Hooked End Support’ as required along the GREY drainage hose.

3. If fitting an under sink waste disposal unit, cut out the membrane, bung or blanking plug.

4. Attach the GREY drainage hose to the under sink waste disposal unit securely , using the clip and rubber tube supplied.

Ensure the drain hose is securely attached, to prevent it coming away while the machine is in use and causing a flood.

Sparkling Results:

The built-in Glist rinse agent ensures the dishes and glasses are free from water marks and smears. If you have any questions regarding Glist 3 in 1, please contact the hotline on 0800 216 730.

Rinse aid.

Rinse aid makes dishes sparkle more as it improves their drying. The rinse aid container is situated on the inside of the appliance door, you should refill it when light “D” indicates that it is empty. (If your dishwasher is fitted with a “low rinse aid” indicator light, fill the container up when the indicator light flashes or lights up).

Adding rinse aid.

T o open the dispenser , turn cap C anticlockwise. T ake care when you pour in the rinse aid to avoid it overflowing. You can regulate the amount of rinse aid used by the dishwasher, move the adjuster F which you will find under lid C .

*If you live in an area particularly prone to very hard water ( 35 Glist and Creda recommend that you continue to keep your dishwasher salt topped up.

- The amount of rinse aid needs to be increased if the dishes appear dull or you can see circular stains.

- The amount of rinse aid needs to be reduced if the dishes are sticky or you can see white streaks.

Page 11

Loading your Dishwasher

ISHWASHER

First of all.

Before placing dishes in the baskets, remove all course food remains. This avoids blocking the filter, which would reduce the efficiency of the wash. If saucepans and frying pans are very dirty, allow them to soak before being washed. T o make it easier to load your dishes, pull the baskets out.

What goes into the lower basket?

We recommend you place the most difficult dishes to wash into the lower basket: saucepans, lids, soup dishes and plates (a load example is shown in the photo).

• Serving dishes and large lids:

place them on the sides of the basket.

• Saucepans, salad bowls: must always be placed upside down

• Very deep dishes: place them obliquely, thus allowing water to run down them and cleaning them better

Place the cutlery with the handles at the bottom; if the basket is the one with side inserts, then insert the tea spoons one by one into the slots. It is best if you place longer utensils horizontally at the front of the upper basket. After loading the dishes, remember to check that the spray arms can turn freely without hitting against any dishes.

What goes into the upper basket?

Place delicate and lightweight dishes in the upper basket: glasses, tea cups and coffee cups, saucers and plates - shallow salad bowls, slightly dirty frying pans and shallow pans. Position lightweight dishes in such as way as to avoid their being moved by the spray of water.

How to adjust the upper basket.

The upper basket can be set in high or low position to enable you to organise your dishes effortlessly.

Fig.F

Open the rail stop flaps and pull the basket out completely. Now place it in high or low position, then slide it along the guide rails until the front wheels also go in. Now close the rail stop flaps. Follow the sequence of actions illustrated in figure "F".

What can I Wash

• Cutlery and tableware made from wood or part wood - They may become faded and unsightly in appearance.

• Avoid washing horn handled and bronze cutlery in the machine.

• Delicate/decorative glassware and vases, special antique or irreplaceable china - the decorative patterns printed on these

items will not be dishwasher proof.

• Plastic objects that are not resistant to hot water.

• Copper and Pewter utensils. Aluminium and Sliver objects.

• Some types of glass can become opaque in appearance after they have been washed too many times in a dishwasher.

• Highly absorbent materials such as sponges and towels should never be placed in a dishwasher .

• If in any doubt, check with the manufacturer on items suitability for dishwasher’s.

WARNING: Dishes or cutlery soiled with tobacco ash, wax, lubricating grease or paint should not be put in the

dishwasher.

Our recommendation: In future, only purchase table or kitchenware that has been confirmed - dishwasher proof.

Care and Cleaning

Unplug the appliance.

Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance on the dishwasher, always remove the plug from the electricity socket.

After every wash.

When the wash cycle has ended, always remember to turn off the water supply tap and to leave the appliance door ajar. This way, moisture and bad odours will not be trapped inside.

The filter assembly

• If you want consistent good results

from your dishwasher, you need to clean the filter assembly.

•

Remove the larger food particles

trapped inside the cup “C” and the semi-circular filter A after each wash; pull the cup handle upwards to remove them. Just rinse them under running water.

• The entire filter assembly should be cleaned thoroughly once a month: cup C + semi-circular filter A + cylindrical filter B. Rotate filter “B” anticlockwise to remove it. For cleaning, use a non metallic brush. Reassemble the filter parts (as shown

in the figure) and reinsert the whole assembly into the dishwasher. Position it into its housing and press downwards. The dishwasher is not to be used without filters. Improper replacement of the filters may reduce the efficiency of the wash and even damage your dishwasher.

Cleaning the spray arms.

Food residue may become encrusted onto the spray arms and block the holes where water comes out. Check the spray arms regularly and clean them once in a while.

Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter

Periodically clean the water inlet filter (see figure 2 under "Installation") located on the outlet of the water supply tap. After turning of f the water tap, unscrew the end of the water supply hose, remove the filter and clean it carefully under running water. Then, return the filter to its place and tighten the water supply hose back into position.

The seals.

One of the factors that cause unpleasant odours to form inside the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning using a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.

DO NOT use solvents or abrasives to clean the exterior and rubber parts of your appliance, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Use a cloth dampened with lukewarm soapy water only. If there are any stains on the surface of the appliance interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product specifically made for dishwashers.

Going away

If the dishwasher is not going to be used for some time, carry out the following:

• run a cycle with the dishwasher empty.

• switch off at the electrical socket and unplug.

• turn off the water supply tap, disconnect the inlet hose and allow to drain.

• fill the rinse aid dispenser.

• leave the door ajar, to prevent the

build up of unpleasant odours inside the dishwasher.

Before using the dishwasher after a long break, plug in and switch on at the electrical socket. Reconnect the inlet hose and turn on the water supply tap. Check there are no deposits of rust inside the water pipe, if there are allow water to run from the supply tap for a few minutes.

Disconnecting the dishwasher.

When disconnecting the dishwasher it is important that tasks are carried out in the correct sequence.

• switch off at the mains and remove the plug from the socket.

• turn off the water supply .

• disconnect drain and water inlet

hose.

• pull out the dishwasher, carefully , withdrawing hoses at the same time.

Moving the appliance.

Drain water from the dishwasher. Secure all loose parts. Only transport in an upright position.

• If not kept upright during transport, any water remaining inside may seep into the control module and cause subsequent errors with programme functions.

Troubleshooting

Caution

- Do not forget that repairs should only be carried out by a qualified specialist. Improper repairs can lead to considerable equipment damage, as well as danger to the user.

- The dishwasher must first be disconnected from the electricity supply before any repairs or other work can be carried out. Sw itch off at the mains socket and water supply and remove the plug.

Resolving minor problems yourself.

Experience has shown that you can resolve most problems that arise during normal daily usage yourself, without having to call out a service engineer. Not only does this save costs but it also means the appliance is available for use again that much sooner . The following list of common occurences and their remedies should help you identify the causes of most problems.

If the dishwasher won't start, check...

■ Is the dishwasher plugged in at the electricity socket and switched on?

■ Is there a power failure, check other appliances.

■ Check the fuse.

■ Is the water supply tap turned on?

■ Is the water inlet hose connected

properly?

■ Is the pressure of the water supply sufficient?

■ Is the inlet hose kinked?

■ Is the filter on the water supply

hose blocked?

■ Is the dishwasher door not closed properly?

If water remains inside the dishwasher, check...

■ the drain hose is not kinked.

■ the drain syphon is not obstructed.

■ the dishwasher filters are not

clogged.

If the dishes are not being cleaned properly, check...

■ the correct amount of detergent has been added.

■ there is regenerating salt in the salt container.

■ the dishes have been loaded correctly.

■ the selected programme is suitable for the type of dishes and the degree of soiling.

■ all filters are clean and positioned correctly.

■ the spray arm nozzles are not obstructed.

■ there is nothing obstructing the rotation of the spray arms.

If the dishes fail to dry or remain dirty, check...

■ there is rinse aid inside the rinse aid container.

■ the rinse aid dispenser setting is correct.

■ the detergent being used is of good quality and has not lost its effectiveness (for example, through incorrect storage, with the box left open).

If the dishes show signs of streaking, staining etc. check...

■ the rinse aid dispenser setting is not set too high.

If there are visible traces of rust inside the tank, check...

■ the cap off the salt container is securely closed and that the water softner setting is correct.

■ the correct amount of detergent is being used. Certain detergents can be more corrosive than others.

■ the tank is made of steel and therefore any rust marks are due to external elements (fragments of rust from the tank pipes, pots, cutlery etc.) Special products are commercially available to remove such marks.

Error messages
