Safety and warnings 3 Installation This dishwasher must be installed and positioned in accordance with the ‘Installation instructions’ before it is used. Installation and service should be performed by a qualified technician. If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or Authorised Service Centre or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

4 Installation instructions Before you start These instructions are intended as a guide only.

Installation instructions 5 Plumbing Drainage The recommended method of installation is shown in diagrams 1,2 and 3. The diagrams are designed to eliminate problems that occur with combined sink – dishwasher waste systems. The standpipe must have a minimum diameter of 38 mm and stand 750mm above the floor. A drain hose support is provided to hold the drain hose in place in the standpipe (See diagrams 1 and 2).
6 Installation instructions Water inlet connections The dishwashers all have a single valve water connections. We recommend a cold water connection to give the best wash performance and energy efficiency. Important! The appliance should be connected to the water main using a new hose set. Old hose sets should not be used. If the length of the water inlet hose is not long enough to make a proper connection, it must be replaced.
Installation instructions 7 If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace the whole cable, rather than using adaptors as they could cause overheating and burns. Important! The dishwasher plug must be accessible even when the appliance is installed as a built-in unit so that maintenance can be done safely. If a fault occurs If the dishwasher malfunctions, turn off the water supply to the appliance and disconnect the plug from the wall socket.

14 Caring for your dinnerware The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage to some items if they are washed in your dishwasher. Remember, if in doubt about any items to be washed in the dishwasher, follow the instructions from the manufacturer of the items, or wash them by hand. Cutlery and silverware All cutlery and silverware should be rinsed immediately after use to prevent tarnishing caused by some foods. The Rinse wash programme is useful for this.
Dishwasher standards test This dishwasher is tested to AS/NZS 2007 standards for both wash and dry performance. The following are loading pattern diagrams, detergent quantities and rinse aid quantities used for the dishwasher. Wash programme Normal Eco Detergent quantities 5 g prewash, +25 g main wash Rinse aid setting 5 Maximum place setting 12 Recommended loading pattern - The height-adjustable top basket must be in the uppermost position.
16 Loading Take care when loading dishes to ensure that there is enough space and room for the water to reach all areas, particularly the cup racks. If there are any items blocking the spray arms’ paths or the wash water, then the performance will be ineffective. Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger food particles to prevent the filter from becoming clogged.
Loading 17 How to load the upper rack The upper rack is designed to hold items like glasses, cups, saucers, plates, small bowls and shallow pans. Position these items so that they cannot be moved during the wash. Upper rack adjustment for models DW60CSW1 and DW60CSX1 The upper rack can be adjusted for height by using the rollers located on both sides of the rack (see below). Adjusting the upper rack to a higher level will give you more space to accommodate taller items in the lower rack. Fig.
18 Detergent Important! Never sprinkle or pour detergent directly onto any item in the dishwasher. Hand washing liquids, soap, laundry detergents or disinfectants will damage your dishwasher. Press button to open Filling the detergent dispenser 1 2 3 4 5 Press the button on the top of the dispenser to open the cover. Pour the detergent for the wash cycle into the larger main detergent compartment.
Rinse aid 19 We highly recommend the regular use of liquid rinse aid to give the best drying results. Rinse aid gives a streak-free, sparkling clean look to glass and chinaware. In addition it prevents metal from tarnishing. The rinse aid dispenser is located on the inside panel of the door. Filling the rinse aid dispenser 1 2 3 Open the dispenser by turning the cap in an anticlockwise direction. Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, making sure not to overfill.
20 Care and cleaning After each wash, turn off the water supply to the dishwasher and leave the door ajar 30°, so that moisture and odours are not trapped inside. Important! The door should not be left in the fully open position as this could present a tripping hazard. Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the power plug from the wall socket.
Care and cleaning 21 Cleaning the drain filters and spray arms Regular inspection and maintenance of your dishwasher helps to prevent problems from occurring. You should carefully inspect your dishwasher regularly. Check that no grease or scale has accumulated on the inside of your dishwasher. If you discover any deposits, clean them thoroughly with warm water on a soft, lint-free cloth. Fig.
