•When the dishwasher is not in use, we recommend
that you turn o the water supply at the supply tap and
disconnect the mains 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.
•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 hose, and do not put the plastic housing in water.
•Children could get locked inside the appliance. Therefore
when disposing of an old appliance, cut o the plug and
set aside, and damage the door lock so that the door can
no longer be closed.

•Place hollow items (bowls, glasses and pans) face down in the basket.
•Do not put dishes, cutlery or other items with tobacco ash, wax,
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.
Before first use
•Remove all the packaging materials from the interior of the dishwasher.
•Set the water softener level as required by the water hardness in the
area (page 16).
•Add 1kg of salt into the salt compartment and then fill with water to the
top of the salt compartment.

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
(Fig. 2) has lines to allow
for specific amounts of
detergent. These are
marked at either 15cm3
or 25cm3, to be used
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 next to the
detergent compartment (see page 17).
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 should be used in the shorter
programmes to allow better performance.
CDA recommend the use of separate detergent, rinse aid and
DETERGENT

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.
If you use both tablets and separates at dierent times, ensure you
use the three in one function when running a programme with tablets
for best wash performance.
Many brands of detergents (as well as rinse aids) 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 try to source an environmentally friendly brand.

14
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, follow these steps:
1. Remove the lower dishwasher basket and then unscrew the salt
compartment cap, as shown in Fig. 3.
2. Fill the compartment with dishwasher salt (do not use table salt),
carefully to prevent unnecessary spillage (Fig. 4). 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.
3. Replace the cap and the lower basket.
When the salt warning 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.
Important:
You should run a prewash programme immediately after adding
dishwasher salt to prevent any damage to the dishwasher system.

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 (Fig. 5).
2. Run water through the tap for one minute.
3. Hold the testing strip in water for one second.
4. Remove from the water and shake the test strip to remove excess
water.

Direct wash
This feature uses nozzles to
help to wash bottles, glasses
etc. directly. Alternatively, the
nozzles can be unclipped
and placed horizontally and
used as an aid in washing
the lower basket.
When changing the direction
of the nozzles, pay attention
to their positions on the
basket. They need to go
back in the same place(s) or
else they will not intercept
the water jets. You can align
them with the spray arm if
you lose your position.
Triple wash
This dishwasher is capable
of washing only the
upper or lower baskets
independently. If you only
have dishes in the lower
basket, press the Half Load
button until the LED for ‘Upper Basket’ illuminates. This will only wash
dishes in the upper basket. Pressing the Half Load button until the LED
for ‘Lower basket’ illuminates will cause the dishwasher to only wash
dishes in the lower basket. If you have dishes in both areas but neither
are full, press the Half load button until both basket LEDs illuminate
and the dishwasher will perform the Half Load function.
