Caring for your dinnerware
The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage to
some items if they are washed in a dishwasher, Remember, if in any doubt about any aspect
concerning items washed in the DishDraweP', follow the instructions from the manufacturer of
the items, or wash the item by hand,
CutJery & silverware
All cutlery and silverware should be rinsed immediately after use to prevent tarnishing caused
by some foods. The Rinse wash program is useful for this. Silver items should not come into
contact with stainless steel, e.g. other cutlery. Mixing these items can cause staining. Remove
silver cutlery from the DishDrawed _and hand dry it immediately after the program has finished
if needed,
Aluminum
Aluminum can be dulled by dishwasher detergent, The degree of change depends on the
quality of the product,
Other metaJs
Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items, Copper, pewter and brass tend to stain,
Woodware
Wooden items are generally sensitive to heat and water, Regular use in a dishwasher may cause
deterioration over time, If in doubt, wash by hand,
Glassware
Most every'day' glassware is dishwasher safe. Crystal, very' fine and antique glassware may' etch
that is, become opaque. You may' prefer to wash these items by hand.
Plastic
Some plastic may change shape or color with hot water. Check manufacturer's instructions
about washing plastic items. Washable plastic items should be weighed down so they do not
flip over and fill with water or fail through the basket during the wash.
Decorated items
Most modem china patterns are dishwasher safe. Antique items, those with a pattern painted
over the glaze, gold rims or hand painted china may be more sensitive to machine washing. If in
doubt, wash by hand.
Glued items
Certain adhesives are softened or dissolved in machine washing. If in doubt, wash by hand.
Vacation time
If the DishDrawed _is not going to be used for some time, we recommend you ensure the baskets
are empty, Leave the inside tithe DishDrawed _clean. Leave the drawers ajar to allow air to
circulate, Turn off both the power and water supply to the DishDrawePL

Dishwasher standards test

The inserts and rackscan be added or removed to
suityour individual needs. Ifyou havethe double
DishDraweP model, some of the accessoriesare
interchangeable between the two drawers. For
example you cancombine the two Mega Racksinto
one drawer and wash all cups and gBasses,leaving
the other drawer for plates and larger items.
ao basket
The basket holds some of the accessoriesin place
and keepsdishes away'from the spray'arm.
boDrain filter access panel
The drain filter accesspanel isdesigned to snap
onto the basket over the drain filter. This prevents
obiects from touching the baseof the DishDraweP
and stopping the rotation of the spray'arm, while
still giving accessto the drain filter.
coMega rack
The Mega rack isdesigned to hold
glasses,cups and small plates.
doPlate insert
The plate insert supports plates and
bowls.
How to install the Mega rack
To install the Mega rack, place the outer
legs of the rack on top of the basket,
and clip the Mega rack to the side of the
basket. When the Mega rack is correctly
installed it should not feel loose in the
basket.
b --

Cup racks
Cups,glasses and kitchen utensils can be placed on the
left and right hand side of the cup racks.
o For best performance ensure there are no large items
below, blocking the wash water from reaching the cup
racks.
Wine glassescan be supported on the cup racksif used in
corLjunct[on with the Mega rack.
o There are stops on the cup rack to prevent cups from
touching the D[shDraweP wail This w[[[ maximize the dry
and wash performance.
CutJery basket
Cutlery, small kitchen utensils and some plastic lids are best
placed into the cutlery basket.
For best wash performance, we recommend loading cutlery'
with handles pointing down arid sharp utensils with their
handles facing up, to reduce the risk of in iury.
Mix spoons, knives arid forks within each section to stop
cutlery from nesting together arid to ensure the water
circulates freely.
Keep stainless steel from touching silver cutlery' to avoid
staining.
Small items, like plastic lids, can be placed under the anti-
nesting grid. This will prevent them from being displaced by
wash water and falling to the bottom, where they may stop
the spray arm rotation.
Accessories

Wash water for the DishDrawer ®comes from the spray arm which is situated inside the base of
the drawer. The spray arm rotates, providing wash water to aB[areas of the wash compartment
so care needs to be taken when loading dishes to ensure there is enough space for the water to
reach aB[areas, particularBy the cup racks. If there are any items Mocking the spray arm path or
the wash water, then the performance wiiB be reduced.
How to load your DishDrawer ®

Hard water situations
If you live in a hard water situation, we
recommend the installation of a household
water softener to improve the water quality,
detergent effectiveness and prevent the
build-up of calcium deposits on dishes and
in the DishDrawert
Soft water situations
If you live in an area of naturally soft water
or your household water is softened,
avoid using too much detergent in your
DishDrawert An excess amount of detergent
is very aggressive on glassware and may
cause irreversible etching.
Certain brands of dishwasher detergent
contain varying quantities of phosphates,
which help soften water. We suggest
you use a detergent with high phosphate
content to improve the wash. The detergent
compartments need to be completely FULL
and rinse agent is used with its setting fixed
at 5.
We recommend the use of a dishwasher
deaner/descaler whenever you notice
a build-up of cakium deposits in your
DishDrawert
After you have used the dishwasher
deaneridescaler you must run another
wash program with detergent to prevent
damage to the DishDrawert
Etching is a chemical deterioration that
occurs on the surface of glassware when
it is subiected to high temperatures, too
much detergent and/or soft water situations.
Etching is caused by a combination of very
hot water, which causes the detergent to
become very aggressive, but because the
water is soft, there are no water hardness
mineral ions for the detergent to bind to,
so it extracts mineral ions directly from the
@ass,
Etching looks like rainbow-colored film, as
the glass is sub iected to further washing the
surface will eventually appear opaque. This
type of etching is irreversible,
To prevent further etching from occurring
on glassware, use less detergent (follow the
recommended detergent quantities in the
User Guide for soft water situations), and
ensure the dishwasher is not overloaded,
so water can reach all the dishes during the
wash.

Rinse agent dispenser
We highly recommend the regular use of liquid rinse agent to give the best drying results, Rinse
agent gives a streak free, sparkBing dean look to gBass and chinaware, in addition it
prevents metal from tarnishing. The rinse agent dispenser is on the inside of each drawer,
located underneath the detergent dispenser. The dispenser holds approximately 1.7 fl oz (50 ml)
of rinse agent.
Fillingthe rinse agent dispenser
1 Turn the plug counter-clockwise and remove.
2 Pour the rinse agent into the circular opening.
3 Take care not to spill rinse agent into the
DishDraweP. Any spillages must be wiped up to
prevent excess foaming. Failure to wipe rinse agent
spillages may result in a service call which will not be
covered by warranty.
4 Fit the plug back into the original position.
How much rinse agent to use
The regulator may need adiusting to suit your water conditions. The lowest setting is'l'and
the highest is'S'. Refer to Option Adiustments section to adiust the rinse agent setting. If there
is excessive foam at the end of the wash, reduce the setting. If dishes are wet or streaky after
drying, increase the setting.
Rinse agent indicator light
If the rinse agent indicator light is red, refill the dispenser. If the rinse agent indicator light is
dimly lit or not lit at all, there is enough rinse agent for the wash,
Note:
Lighter colored rinse agents will not dim the indicator light as effectively as darker colored rinse
agents.
When the rinse agent is being dispensed, you may notice some unusual noises during the wash,
this is normal

Option adjustments
The following options can be adjusted to suityour preferences,
Rinse Agent setting
Reduce the Rinse agent setting if there is excess foam after a wash program.
Increase the Rinse agent setting if dishes are wet or streaky after a wash program.
Auto Power setting
