Please read the instructions in this booklet
carefully. You will find instructions necessary for
security, installation and using your machine as
well as the guarantees. We advise you to keep
the booklet and pass it on if you sell the
machine.

We cannot accept responsibility if the
instructions below are not followed :

- Please destroy the packaging in an
appropriate way and in compliance with
environmental protection legislation.

- If the machine is visibly damaged, do not
connect it and contact your dealer.

- It should be placed in a frost-free area. In case
of frost, the hydraulic systems may be
damaged.

- The water supply and evacuation pipes must
be connected according to instructions.
Incorrect connections may cause damage.

- To ensure proper stability, built-in machines
should be installed below a continuous work
surface fixed to the adjoining cabinets.

- You should not stand or lean on the open
dishwasher door. The machine could tip over
or be damaged.

- The machine is intended to wash dishes and
should not be put to other uses.

- Using solvents to clean or maintain your
machine is highly unsuitable.

You should store dishwasher products as well as
other cleaning products out of the reach of
children. These products have a corrosive effect
on the mouth and pharynx if they are
swallowed.

- If the machine malfunctions due to other
causes than those mentioned in this booklet,
disconnect the machine (remove the plug) or
break the circuit concerned and contact our
after-sales service.

- The machine complies with applicable safety
regulations. Any repairs should only be carried
out by qualified technicians. Repairs or
changes that do not conform may be
dangerous for the user. In case of replacement,
only use original parts.

- Broken machines should be taken to the
closest recycling centre. Destroy the door
closing system so it no longer works (children
may close themselves in whilst playing and
suffocate). Cut the electric cable after having
removed the plug from the socket.

- You are strongly advised to disconnect the
machine after use and turn off the water
supply.

- Do not let children play with the machine or
touch it.

- The water inside the machine is not suitable
for drinking.

- When the machine is running, do not open
the door. This may provoke important steam
leakage or splattering of water.

SAFETY ADVICE

IMPORTANT ! : KLEENMAID RECOMMENDS
THAT YOUR DISHWASHER BE INSTALLED BY AN
AUTHORISED KLEENMAID INSTALLER OR
SERVICE AGENT !!

Before you start :

1 . These instructions are intended as a guide

only. It is the responsibility of the Plumber
and Electrician to ensure that each

installation complies with local by-laws.
2 . Connection to cold water is recommended.
3 . This Dishwasher must not be connected to a

water supply where the temperature of the

water exceeds 65 °C. If this Dishwasher is to

be connected to a system where there is no

temperature control, a temperature control

valve, limiting the water temperature must

be fitted.
4 . When installing the Dishwasher, check that

the drain hose does not become restricted or

kinked.

Levelling : Adjusting the feet (Fig. 4) :

Make sure that the machine is properly upright
and stable. The four feet may be altered, adjust
them if necessary using a wrench or a
screwdriver. Badly adjusted feet may move the
door off centre and make the machine
unstable.

IMPORTANT : Do not connect the dishwasher to
the power or water supply before completing
installation.

If you are installing your dishwasher on carpet,
adjust the feet so that you leave space for air to
circulate underneath the machine.

Fitting your machine into your kitchen :

The building in sizes for the machine are given
in the “technical characteristics” chapter on
page 12.
Fix the “anti-condensation” protection to the
underside of your work surface.
To maintain stability and proper alignment, you
should attach your machine to the work surface
using a bracket.

Installation :

Consult page 12 of this manual for this
operation and use the assembly template and
accessories supplied with your machine.

Plumbing :
1 . Water Connection

• This Kleenmaid “Super Silent System”
Dishwasher can be connected to cold water or
hot water not exceeding 65 °C.

• We recommend that the Dishwasher is
connected to a cold water supply.

NOTE : Connection to a hot water supply will

change the length of the wash cycles
and can reduce the drying efficiency of
the dishwasher.

2 . Water Supply (Fig. 2)

a . The water supply to the Dishwasher should

not be less than 12 mm domestic water pipe.
A readily accessible tap must be installed in
the supply pipe.

b . The inlet connection hose supplied is fitted

to a 3/4" BSP male thread, which must have
an adequate sealing face for the washers
supplied.

c . If the Dishwasher is connected to a hot water

supply, then the water temperature at the
Dishwasher must never exceed 65 °C.

d . The water supply pressure is to be between

21 kPa (4.0 psi) minimum and 970 kPa

(140 psi) maximum.
If pressure is greater 100 psi, it is recommended
to fit a pressure limiting valve to prevent
damage from rises and increased pressure of
peak demand.

INSTALLATION

Protection against water damage :

Your machine is equipped with systems that
protect you from flooding.

- Anti-overflowing mechanism. This system
activates the waste pump if the water level in
the tub reaches an abnormal level.

- Anti-leakage device. This system interrupts the
water supply if a leak is detected underneath
the machine.

If one of these mechanisms is started, contact
the after-sales service to put it back into
working order.
Your machine is equipped with a anti-bursting
pipe.

Evacuating waste water (Fig. 3)

Connect the waste pipe
A. Either to the ventilated siphon. The waste

pipe must be free in the siphon and should
be no deeper than 20 cm.

B. Or on the sink siphon. Be careful not to

forget to remove the siphon cover.
Be careful to fix the waste pipe down with a tie
to avoid any flooding. In any case, the end of
the pipe must be between 60 cm and 1 m high.
Avoid folding the pipe when installing.

- Horizontal drain lines should not exceed 5 m
length.

- Ensure that the drain hose is fully extended
and not restricted in any way.

NOTE : Do not connect drain hose directly
to a waste disposal unit as blocking with
food waste will occur.

Connecting to the power supply :

You should use an earthed plug to connect to
the power supply. In case of a direct connection,
the main switch terminal should be at least
3 mm apart.
The electric plug should remain accessible. Do
not use an extension lead or multiple plug.

• We cannot be held responsible for any

incident caused by the machine being badly
earthed.

In any case, the machine must be fitted in
compliance with the applicable regulations in
your state as well as any extra instructions from
the Electricity Company. The machine’s approval
and model are indicated on the sticker fixed to
the left-hand side of the door. The machine
must be turned off when connecting to the
electric circuit.

Rinse aid is necessary as it avoids stains on the
dishes and makes drying easier.

IMPORTANT ! Only use products intended for
dishes and NOT detergents intended for hand
washing !

We recommend using Kleenmaid St George
Dishwasher Rinse Aid. Please phone our After
Sales Service on 13 13 08 for the Store nearest
you.

Filling and adjusting the rinse aid container
(Fig. 5-6) :

Put the door in a horizontal position when
filling the container and unscrew the cap in the
door counter clockwise.
Fill to just below the adjusting lever.

If the product overflows on filling, remove the
excess with a sponge to avoid any foam
forming.
If you experience stains or bad drying after
several cycles, you may adjust the dosage using
the selector :
Soft water : level 1 to reduce the dose
Hard water : level 3 to increase it.

Finding the level of the rinse aid :

A light on the control panel comes on when
you need to add rinse aid.

For child safety :

Dishwashing detergent and rinse aid should be
treated as poisons and stored where they are
not accessible to children.
