UNPACKING
• Remove all packaging material, accessories and doc mentation from the dishwasher.
DAMAGE
• Do not se the dishwasher if it has been damaged in transit. Report the damage to yo r
dealer, who will take the necessary corrective action.
POSITIONING THE MACHINE
• The dishwasher sho ld be positioned close to a cold water tap and a drain o tlet.
• After positioning the dishwasher, adj st the feet by t rning them in or o t to level the nit.
PREPARATION
• Every dishwasher is tested and r n in the factory before being dispatched. Before washing
dishes for the first time, it is advisable therefore to first complete a pre-wash cycle to fl sh
any factory related resid als from the system.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
• The dishwasher m st be earthed and the man fact rer and seller do not accept
responsibility for any damage d e to incorrect electrical connection.
• .The machine sho ld be pl gged into a 15 Amp, 230 Volt 50 Hz earthed 3 pin wall socket.
• For safety reasons, the wall socket and the pl g sho ld be accessible after installation.
If the power cord sho ld ever need replacing, se only a gen ine cord available from the
nearest Defy Service Centre. Repairs sho ld only be made by a q alified technician.
WATER CONNECTION
• Use a screw on hose connector to sec re the filler hose to a 3/4 inch threaded cold water tap.
• The water s pply press re m st be between 30 kPa and 1Mpa..
• If the s pply pl mbing is new or has not been sed for some time, it is advisable to r n the water
ntil it is clear and free from dirt. We recommend fitting a filter to the water tap to prevent
imp rities s ch as sand or r st from entering the washer.
• Do not se an old hose and only se the hose s pplied with the dishwasher.
• Ens re that the inlet hose is not twisted, bent or sq eezed sh t.
• There are two different types of water inlet hoses: Cold water inlet hose ( p to 25°C) and

drain pipe with an inside diameter of at
least 4cm.
• The o tlet end of the drain pipe sho ld be
between 50cm and 100cm above gro nd

Adding water softener (dishwasher salt)
6
The dishwasher req ires lime free water for
optim m operation. The water s pply in So th
Africa varies considerably. Some sers have
access to borehole water only, while others are
s pplied from reservoirs or dams. Users in rban
areas wo ld not normally req ire water softeners. It
is advisable therefore to test yo r water s pply.
Check for white spots on glassware. If these
appear, the water sed is too hard and req ires
softening. Experience will soon show if softening is
req ired.
Water softener container
The dishwasher is eq ipped with a salt container
which a tomatically softens the water The container
needs to be filled with regenerating salts specially
developed for dishwashers. Small grained or
powdered salt is recommended. Do not se table
salt or edible salt as these contain insol ble
s bstances.
To fill the container proceed as follows:
• Remove the lower basket to improve access.
• Unscrew the lid of the salt container. (fig A-B)
• If sed for the first time, po r abo t 1 litre of
water into the container. (fig C) If the container
has water in it this step is not req ired.
• Using the f nnel s pplied, add salt ntil the
container is f ll. (fig D) The container holds abo t
2 kg of salt.
• Screw the lid back on ntil a “click” so nd is
heard.
To prevent damage which may be ca sed by spilt
salt sol tion, we recommend yo start a wash
programme immediately after filling the salt
container.
The low salt indicator light on the control panel will
glow when the salt needs replenishing.
Note:
The salt indicator may glow for some time after
filling the container This depends on the time it
takes to dissolve all of the added salt and may take
a few ho rs.

Page 7
Note:
• Only use rinse aid specifically intended
for dishwashers.
• If composite detergent tablets
containing rinse aid ( 3 in 1 or 2 in 1 )
are used, it is not necessary to fill the
rinse aid dispenser.
Rinse aid prevents water and calci m
streaking on dishes and speeds p the drying
process.
The rinse aid dispenser is to the right of the
detergent compartment.
To add rinse aid, proceed as follows:
• Open the rinse aid dispenser by pressing
the locking lever. (B)
• Caref lly po r the rinse aid into the
dispenser to the MAX mark.
• Close the lid.
• Caref lly wipe off any spilt rinse aid.
• The dispenser reg lator (4) may be set
between 1 and 6.
If lime mar s appear after washing,
select a lower setting.
If water mar s appear after washing
select a higher one.
A rinse aid sight glass (3) allows inspection
of the rise aid level in the dispenser. If the
rinse aid appears to be dil ted or is lighter in
colo r, it needs to be replenished.

Adding detergent
8 Only use detergents formulated for use in
dishwashers.
Detergent tablets or composite tablets
containing detergent, softener and rinse
aid may also be used.
The detergent and rinse aid dispensers are
on the inside of the door.
The detergent compartment is on the left.
Open the detergent compartment by p shing
the locking lever to the right (A). Add
detergent before each wash and close the
lid.
The lines on the inside of the detergent
container assist in meas ring the correct
amo nt of detergent. The container can hold
40cm³ of detergent.(1)
For a f ll load and relatively dirty dishes , fill
the container to the 25cm³ mark.
For slightly soiled dishes and a partial load,
fill the compartment to the 15cm³ mark.
If detergent tablets are sed, these sho ld be
placed in the detergent dispenser.
If food particles are st ck and the dishes
have not been washed for a long time,
s pplement the detergent by adding an
additional amo nt to the open oval
depression to the right of the detergent
compartment.(2)
D ring the wash programme, the detergent
will be dispensed a tomatically and the lid
will be left open. The best washing res lts
are obtained sing detergent, rinse aid and
water softening salts.
Multi purpose tablet detergents are
available and can give satisfactory res lts.
These are classified as follows:
2 in 1: Contain detergent and rinse aid or
water softening salt.
3 in 1: Contain detergent, rinse aid, water
softening salt.
4 in 1: Contain detergent, rinse aid, water
softening salt and a glass protector.
5 in 1: Contain detergent, rinse aid, water
softening salt, a glass protector and a
stainless steel protector.
Do not use tablet detergents in short
programmes since their total solubility is
dependent on temperature and time.
