Important
•Read the instructions prior to installation and use of the
appliance.
•Do not lean or climb on the open dishwasher door, to
prevent damage.
•Close the dishwasher door after use to prevent accidents.
•Use only detergents, salt and rinse aid specifically
designed for dishwashers.
•Do not put solvents in the dishwasher detergent
compartment to prevent risk of explosion.
•Only put dishwasher safe items into the dishwasher. If in

•When the dishwasher is not in use, we recommend
that you turn o the water supply at the supply tap and
disconnect the main supply.
•If you are leaving the dishwasher for an extended period
you should leave the door slightly open to prevent the
formation of unpleasant smells.

years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge if they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way
and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not
play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance
shall not be made by children without supervision.
•The plastic housing on the water inlet pipe contains an
electrically operated valve. The wires that connect to this
valve are inside the inlet hose. Do not cut through the inlet

lubricating grease or paint residues in the dishwasher.
• It is not recommended to pre-rinse the tableware, as this leads to an
increase in water and energy consumption.
• Washing tableware in a household dishwasher usually uses less
energy and water than washing up by hand.

7
Before First Use

Detergent
To fill the detergent compartment
1. Push the latch to open the compartment.
2. Add the required amount of detergent. The
main detergent compartment (b in Fig. 2)
has lines to allow for specific amounts of
detergent.
These are marked at either 15cm3or
25cm3, depending on how dirty the dishes
are.
If your dishes are in need of an intensive
wash, then add 5cm3of detergent into the
prewash section of the compartment (a in
Fig 2).
3. Then close the detergent compartment lid
until the latch locks.
Please note: You should only use
detergents designed specifically for use in
dishwashers.
If using dishwasher tablets, always use the detergent compartment.
Do not put them in the main body of the dishwasher or in the cutlery
basket.
The solubility of dishwasher tablets can vary depending on the
temperature and duration of the programme. As a result, it is
recommended that powder detergents (and not 3-in-1 tablets) should
be used in the quick wash and half-load programmes to allow better
performance.

DETERGENT

13
CDA recommends the use of separate detergent, rinse aid and
dishwasher salt rather than combination tablets as separates achieve
better wash performance.
If you do use combination detergents, add salt and rinse aid to the
dishwasher and then adjust the water hardness setting and rinse aid
setting to the minimum. When you then use separate detergents
again, you should fill the salt and rinse aid compartments, adjust the
water hardness setting to the maximum and run an empty wash, then
adjust the water hardness setting and the rinse aid setting to the
appropriate level.
Salt
To ensure the best eciency, the dishwasher needs soft water. Hard
water means that lime residues remain on the dishes and the interior
of the dishwasher, aecting performance. The softener system is
designed to remove the ions that make the water hard to provide the
best quality wash performance. This is achieved by using dishwasher
salt.
To add dishwasher salt
1. Remove the lower dishwasher basket and then unscrew the salt
compartment cap, as shown in Fig. 3 (page 12).
2.Fill the compartment with dishwasher salt (do not use table salt),
carefully to prevent unnecessary spillage. Before first use, you should
fill the compartment with 1kg of dishwasher salt and then fill up the salt
compartment with water (up to the brim of the compartment) as shown
in Fig. 4 (page 12).

14
3.Replace the cap and the lower basket.
When the ‘Salt’ light on the control panel illuminates, you should refill
the salt compartment with salt only – do not add water to the salt
compartment after the first use.
You should run a programme immediately after adding dishwasher
salt, to prevent any damage to the dishwasher systems.
Fill the salt compartment with just water on first use.
Softener Adjustment
The eciency of your dishwasher depends on the softness of the
tap water. To ensure best eciency, the dishwasher is equipped with
a system that reduces the hardness in the mains water supply. The
eciency will increase when the system is correctly set. To find out
the water hardness level of your water supply you can use the test
strip supplied or alternatively contact your local water board.
1. Open the testing strip.
2. Run water through the tap for one minute.
3. Hold the testing strip in water for one second.
4. Shake the testing strip after taking it out of the water.
5. Wait for one minute.
6. Check the number of marks on the strip to see the level of water
hardness.

If the hardness of the water you use is above 90dF or if you are using
well water; you are recommended to use filter and water refinement
devices.
Please note: The level of water hardness is preset to level 3.
1. Press and hold down the ‘Programme Selection’ button.
2. Press the ‘On/O’ to switch on the dishwasher.
3. Keep the ‘Programme Selection’ button pressed until ‘SL’ shows
on the display and then disappears.
4. After the ‘SL’ disappears, the machine displays the last water
hardness setting entered.
5. To adjust the level, press the ‘Programme selection’ button
until the required level is selected. The programme display will
illuminate with certain figures as in the table of water hardness
settings below.
6. To store the selected water hardness level, press the ‘On/O’
button.
Rinse aid
Rinse aid helps to ensure better quality wash results and increased
drying performance.
To fill the rinse aid compartment, open the rinse aid compartment lid.
Fill the compartment with rinse aid to the MAX level and then close
the lid. Be careful not to overfill the rinse aid compartment and ensure
that you wipe up any spillages.

16
In order to change the rinse aid level,
follow the steps below before turning
on the machine:
1. Press and hold down the ‘Programme
selection’ button
2. Press the ‘On/O’ button to switch on
the dishwasher
3. Keep the programme selection button
pressed until “rA” shows on the
display and then disappears
4. To adjust the level, press the
programme selection button until the required level is shown on
the display, as listed in the table on below.
5. To store the selected rinse aid level, press the ‘On/O’ button.
If the dishes are not drying properly or are spotted with food
debris, dirt etc., increase the rinse aid level. If blue stains appear
on your dishes, decrease the rinse aid level.
Always refill the rinse aid when the rinse aid indicator light on the
control panel is illuminated.

Many brands of rinse aid (as well as detergents) contain
phosphates which escape sewage treatment and can cause
excessive algae growth in waterways. This in turn can pollute
drinking water and cause marine life ‘dead zones’ which
are underwater environments deprived of oxygen that are
subsequently unable to support life. Please consider the
environment and, if you wish to use rinse aid, try to source an
environmentally friendly brand.
Dishwasher Baskets
To adjust the height of the upper basket:
1. Open the basket retaining clips, as shown
in Fig. 7, by turning them to the side.
2. Remove the upper basket, and relocate
the alternate set of wheels on the runner,
as shown in Fig. 8, pushing the basket
back into place.
3. Close the basket retaining clips.
