Fitting the door panel :
There are two ways of fitting the front of your
machine :
1 - A cabinet door + false drawer
2 - A complete front panel
Consult page 13 of this manual for this
operation and use the assembly template and
accessories supplied with your machine.
Adjust the springs to set the door, see Fig. 15.
You will find this easier with the door closed.
Important
: This machine best operates
equipped with door panels.
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
0.2 MPa (3.0 psi) minimum and 0.7 MPa
(100 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
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 :
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.
Poor adjustment of the levelling feet can cause
the dishwasher to leak.
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 13.
Glue the steam protector supplied with your
machine underneath your worktop.
To maintain stability and proper alignment, you
should attach your machine to the work surface
using a bracket.
• 6 •
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 antibursting 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.
Replacing the electric lead
WARNING : In the interests of safety, the
electrical supply lead should ONLY be replaced by
the manufacturer’s after-sales staff or a similarly
qualified person.
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 !
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.
ADDING RINSE AID
INSTALLATION CONTINUED
• 7 •
The water softener must be adjusted correctly
to ensure no streaks after washing and drying.
Your dishwasher is fitted with a water softening
system that operates using regenerating salt.
You must set the water softener according to
the hardness of the water in your area.
➀➀
-
Measuring the water hardness
To do this: contact your local water supplier to
find out the water hardness level and adjust on
the machine as described below.
While holding down the “Auto” button, press
the “Start” button: the “Soak” or “Intensive”
programme light will illuminate –and either
flash or be permanently lit – to show the water
softener’s setting in accordance with the above
table.
When the machine is first switched on, the
setting is 10 - 25°F (“Soak” light permanently
lit).
To change the setting, press the “Auto” button
repeatedly until you reach the water softener
setting recommended by the testing strip.
You must fill the salt reservoir with water
before using the machine, even if the water
softener setting selected does not require
any regenerating salt.
If you move house and take the
dishwasher with you, you will need to
check the water hardness and adjust
accordingly.
For good wash results it is very important
to set the dishwasher to the correct level
of water hardness and to set the correct
level of rinse aid (see page 6)
③③
Filling the regenerating salt reservoir
You must fill this, with water just before
starting your first wash then add the salt:
Filling with salt is essential to obtain a good
wash with no streaks. The salt regenerates
the resins, which soften the water by removing
its limestone content unless the water is already
sufficiently soft (see “Adjusting the water
softener”).

Salt reservoir
- Unscrew the salt reservoir’s stopper and
remove it.
- Use the funnel to introduce the salt.
available from the after-sales department
under reference : 31X3964.
- Fill the reservoir with regenerating salt
specially designed for dishwashers.
- On the first time, add water until it
reaches the edge of the reservoir.
- Screw the salt reservoir’s stop back in fully.
Do not use kitchen salt.
Should any regenerating salt overflow
when filling, we recommend that you
remove the loose salt crystals to avoid
oxidising the tub.
If the water is especially soft and does not
require the use of any regenerating salt,
the salt light remains lit.
