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.

Fig. 3

12
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 11).
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 11).

13
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.
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.
1 minute 1 second
1 minute
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Level 4
Level 5
Level 6

14
If the hardness of the water you use is above 63dE 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 ‘Power Button’ to switch on the dishwasher.
3. Keep the ‘Programme Selection’ button pressed until ‘8’ shows on
the display and then disappears.
4. After the ‘8’ 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 ‘Power’
button.

Rinse Aid
To fill the rinse aid compartment
1. Open the rinse aid compartment by
turning and removing the cap as
shown in Fig. 5.
2. Fill the rinse aid compartment until the
rinse aid indicator goes dark,
as shown in Fig. 6 (where ‘a’ indicates
the compartment is empty, and
‘b’ indicates the compartment is full).
3. Replace the cap, ensuring the markers
on the cap line up with the
compartment prior to screwing the cap
back in place.
Rinse Aid Adjustment
The level of rinse aid use is preset to 4. You can adjust the level of
rinse aid use by adjusting as shown in Fig. 7.
If water stains form on the dishes after a wash, the level should be
increased.
If blue stains which can be wiped away are left on the dishes after a
wash, the level should be decreased.
