How to install the Mega Rack

To install the Mega rack, place the outer legs of the rack on top of the basket, and clip the Mega rack to the side of the basket. When the Mega rack is correctly installed it should not feel loose in the basket.

a. Basket

The basket holds some of the accessories in place and keeps the dishes above the spray arm. Without the inserts, large bowls and pots can be placed flat.

b. Drain Filter Access Panel

The drain filter access panel is designed to snap onto the basket over the drain filter. This prevents objects from touching the base of the

and stopping the rotation of the

spray arm, while still giving access to the drain filter.

c. Mega Rack

The Mega rack is designed to hold glasses, cups and small plates.

d. Plate Insert

The plate insert supports plates and bowls.

Cup Racks

Cups, glasses and kitchen utensils can be placed on the left and right hand side of the cup racks. For best performance ensure there are no large items below, blocking the wash water from reaching the cup racks. Wine glasses can be supported on the cup racks if used in conjunction with the Mega Rack. There are stops on the cup rack to prevent cups from touching the wall. This will help improve the dry and wash performance.

Cutlery Basket

Cutlery, small kitchen utensils and some plastic lids are best placed into the cutlery basket. For best wash performance, we recommend loading cutlery with handles pointing down and sharp utensils with their handles facing up, to reduce the risk of injury. Mix spoons, knives and forks within each section, to stop cutlery nesting together and to ensure the water circulates freely. Keep stainless steel from touching silver cutlery to avoid staining. Use the oval slots (spoon rack) for spoons and teaspoons. Small items, like

plastic lids, can be placed under the spoon rack, this will prevent them from being displaced by wash water and falling to the bottom, where they may stop the spray arm rotation.

The inserts and racks can be added or removed to suit your individual needs. If you have the double model, some of the accessories are interchangeable between the two drawers. For example you can combine the two Mega Racks into one drawer and wash all cups and glasses, leaving the other drawer for plates and larger items.

HOW NOT TO LOAD YOUR

The is overcrowded and wash water will not reach some of the dinnerware.

Cups, glasses and bowls must have their openings facing downwards.

The plates are nesting together and wash water may not get through.

Ensure cutlery are not nesting or stuck together. They need to be evenly spread out.

HOW TO LOAD YOUR

The wash water for the comes from the spray arm which is situated at the base of the dishwasher. The spray arm rotates, providing wash water to all areas of the so care needs to be taken when loading the

. Ensure that there is sufficient space and room for the water to reach all areas particularly the cup racks.

If there are any items blocking the spray arm path or wash water, then the performance will be ineffective.

Ensure dishware items are not forced into or protrude above the as it may prevent the lid from properly sealing which could result in a service call.

Locate sharp items to prevent injuring the user and damaging the lid assembly.

Check the bottom of the cutlery basket to ensure sharp or pointed items have not come through as they may stop spray arm rotation.

Ensure cutlery has not fallen through and stopped the spray arm from rotating.

The large bowl is blocking wash water reaching the cup racks.

Large utensils should be on cup racks so they do not become dislodged and stop the spray arm from rotating.

Please note that the basket and its inserts are not designed to be lifted out of the while loaded with dishes.

* tsp = teaspoon. ** No detergent is required in pre wash compartment for the fast wash.

rinse agent dispenser

We highly recommend the regular use of liquid rinse agent to give the best drying results. Rinse agent gives a streak free, sparkling clean look to glass and chinaware, in addition it prevents metal from tarnishing. The rinse agent dispenser is on the inside of the drawer, located underneath the detergent dispenser. The dispenser holds approximately 1.7 fl. oz. of rinse agent.

How Much Rinse Agent to Use

The regulator may need adjusting to suit your water conditions. The lowest setting is ‘1’ and the highest is ‘5’. Refer to Option Adjustment Mode section to adjust the rinse agent setting. If there is excessive foam at the end of the wash, reduce the setting. If dishes are wet or streaky after drying, increase the setting.

Filling the Rinse Agent Dispenser

1. Turn the plug counter-clockwise and remove.

2. Pour the rinse agent into the circular opening.

3. Take care not to spill rinse agent into the

. Any spillages must be wiped up to prevent excess foaming. Failure to wipe rinse agent spillages may result in a service call which will not be covered by warranty.

4. Fit the plug back into the original position.

Rinse Agent Indicator Light

If the rinse agent indicator light is red, refill the dispenser. If the rinse agent indicator light is not lit, there is enough rinse agent for the wash.

detergent rinse agent water softener

Hard Water Situations

If you live in a hard water situation, we recommend the installation of a household water softener to improve the water quality, detergent effectiveness and prevent the build up of calcium deposits on dishes and in the .

Certain brands of dishwasher detergent contain varying quantities of phosphates, which help soften water. We suggest you use a detergent with high phosphate content to improve the wash. The detergent compartments need to be completely FULL and rinse agent is used with its setting fixed at 5.

We recommend the use of a dishwasher cleaner/descaler whenever you notice a build up of calcium deposits in your .

After you have used the dishwasher cleaner/descaler you must run another wash program with detergent to prevent damage to the .

Soft Water Situations

If you live in an area of naturally soft water or your household water is softened, avoid using too much detergent in your

. An excess amount of detergent is very aggressive on glassware and may cause irreversible etching.

Etching is a chemical deterioration that occurs on the surface of glassware when it is subjected to high temperatures, too much detergent and/or soft water situations. Etching is caused by a combination of very hot water, which causes the detergent to become very aggressive, but because the water is soft, there are no water hardness mineral ions for the detergent to bind to, so it extracts mineral ions directly from the glass.

Etching looks like rainbow colored film, as the glass is subjected to further washing the surface will eventually appear opaque. This type of etching is irreversible.

To prevent further etching from occurring on glassware use less detergent (follow the recommended detergent quantities in the User Guide for soft water situations), and ensure the dishwasher is not overloaded, so water can reach all the dishes during the wash.

water softener - for models DD603H and DS603H

Soft water is required for dishwashing to prevent the build up of scale (lime deposits) on your dishes and in your . If hard water is used for dishwashing, you will notice glasses will become opaque, dishes will become spotted or have a white film on them and your dishwasher will become less efficient over a period of time. Tap water above 100ppm must be softened for dishwashing for optimum wash performance.

models DD603H and DS603H are fitted with a water softener which is designed to remove the calcium and magnesium ions that cause water to be ‘hard’. The water softener will automatically remove the hardness from the water using a salt solution. The amount of salt required will depend on the local water hardness. Your local water company will be able to provide you with the information on the water hardness in your local area.

To Ensure Optimum Performance of the Water Softener

The water softener must be set to the correct local water hardness and must always be filled with granular salt made especially for dishwasher water softening systems. We do not recommend the use of cooking salt like table or rock salt or pellets as they may contain impurities that will impair or diminish the life of the water softener.

SETTING UP THE WATER SOFTENER

Determine the Water Hardness in Your Local Area

Identify the setting you require for your from the water hardness table below. For example, if your water hardness is 500ppm, then the water softener setting on your should be four. Refer to the Option Adjustment Mode to adjust the water softener so that the setting corresponds to your water hardness.

Note

If your water hardness is above 625ppm, we highly recommend you completely fill the detergent compartment for all programs except Rinse and the rinse agent setting be at 5. If your water hardness is above 625ppm, the performance of your will decline.

setting Grains per Gallon (gpg) Parts per Million (ppm)

0 0 - 6 0 - 100 1 6 - 14 100 - 250 2 14 - 20 250 - 350 3 20 - 26 350 - 450 4 26 - 32 450 - 550 5 32 - 36 550 - 625

The Salt Reservoir

Water softening can only take place when there is salt in the reservoir. The salt reservoir must be filled prior to using the and whenever the salt reservoir indicator light is red.

Salt Indicator Light

If the salt indicator light is red, the salt reservoir is empty. If the salt indicator light is black, there is enough salt in the reservoir for the wash program that has been selected. Prefinished Models: The electronic display will also indicate when the salt reservoir is empty by displaying the salt symbol.

How to Fill the Salt Reservoir

1. Open the .

2. Unscrew the salt reservoir plug by turning counter-clockwise.

3. Place the salt into the salt container and pour the contents into the

salt reservoir. The salt reservoir can hold up to approximately

0.5kg of salt.

4. Fit the cap tightly back into its original position.

5. If you do not wash your dishes immediately after filling the salt

reservoir, run a rinse program to remove any salt water or spilt granules.

WARNING

Do not pour detergent or rinse agent into the salt reservoir. Detergent and rinse agent will destroy the water softener.

Note

When filling the salt dispenser, you may notice water being displaced from the water softener overflow.

caring for your dinnerware

VACATION TIME

If the is not going to be used for some time, we recommend you ensure the baskets are empty. Leave the inside of the

clean. Leave the drawers ajar to allow air to circulate.

Turn off both the power and water supply to the .

The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage to some items if they are washed in the

. Remember, if in any doubt about any aspect concerning items washed in the , follow the instructions from

the manufacturer of the items, or wash the item by hand.

Cutlery & Silverware

All cutlery and silverware should be rinsed immediately after use to prevent tarnishing caused by some foods. The Rinse wash program is useful for this. Silver items should not come into contact with stainless steel, for example other cutlery. Mixing these items can cause staining. Remove silver cutlery from the and hand dry it immediately after the program has finished.

Aluminium

Aluminium can be dulled by Dishwasher detergent. The degree of change depends on the quality of the product.

Other Metals

Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items. Copper, pewter and brass tend to stain.

Woodware

Wooden items are generally sensitive to heat and water. Regular use in the Dishwasher may cause deterioration over time. If in doubt, wash by hand.

Plastic

Some plastic may change shape or color with hot water. Check manufacturer’s instructions about washing plastic items. Washable plastic items should be weighed down so they do not flip over and fill with water or fall through the basket during the wash.

Decorated Items

Most modern china patterns are Dishwasher safe. Antique items, those with a pattern painted over the glaze, gold rims or hand painted china may be more sensitive to machine washing. If in doubt wash these items by hand.

Glued Items

Certain adhesives are softened or dissolved in machine washing. If in doubt, wash glued items by hand.

Glassware

Most everyday glassware is dishwasher safe. Crystal, very fine and antique glassware may etch i.e. become opaque. You may prefer to wash these items by hand.
