If the end of drain hose does not fit to
the drain
line,
use a
piece
ofrubber
connector(not

that must be
resistant to heat and
detergent
and
may
be obtained from a

There are 2
typical
connections as
shown
in
Figure
A,
B.
The recommended methods of drain hose
connection must be adhered to
within
the
areas of
Water
Board
Authority.
Several
other
options
are
commonly
used outside
this area and local council or
plumbers
should be able to
advise
of these.
The
"S"
trap spigot
must be drilled out
cleanly
and free of obstruction to its
maximum internal
diameter,
if used for
drainage.
To
prevent siphoning,
one of the
following
instruction methods must be
followed:
When
the
drainage
hose is connected to a
sink "s"
trap
or
waste
disposal
unit,
the
hose must be
looped up
to the underside
of the bench
top
and secured.
When
the drain hose is connected to a
separate

HOW TO USE
AND
OPERATE
1.
Loading your
Dishwasher
3.
Using
the
Cutlery
Basket
For the best
washing performance,
it is
important
that the
dishwasher
is loaded
according
to instructions.
Before
loading
items into the
dishwasher,
you
must
scrape
off
large particles
in
particular
non soluble items such as
bones,
toothpicks, pips,
etc.
When
loading
the
dishwasher,
observe
the
following general guidelines:
Position
crockery
such that
water will
contact all surfaces.
Deep
based items should be
placed
at an
angle
to
help
water
run off and
dry
properly.
Items
with
burnt on
scraps
should be
soaked
prior
to
loading
in the
dishwasher.
Cutlery
should be mixed
within
each
section of the
cutlery
basket to
prevent
nesting
of similar items. Place the
cutlery
in
the
cover with
the handles
down.
The
cover
can be
hinged
and
clipped away
from the
basket if
you
choose not to use them.
Take care when
loading
and
unloading
sharp
items.
2.
Loading
the Lower Rack
The
lower
basket is best loaded
with
dinner
plates, soup
bowls, dishes,
pots, pans,
lids
and
even
the
grill tray.
Plates should be
positioned upright
and
facing
the center of the rack.
Pots,
pans
and
large
dishes must be turned
upside
down.
Take care not to obstruct the rotation
of the
spray
arms,
and that
larger
items
do not
prevent
the
detergent dispenser
lid
from
opening.

11
HOW TO USE
AND
OPERATE
4.
Loading
the
Upper
Rack
The
upper
rack is best loaded
with
more
delicate
items,
small
plates, long cutlery,
cups, glasses
and
dishwasher
safe
plastic
items. Plates should be
positioned upwards
and
facing
the front of the rack.
Cups, glasses
and
bowls
must be
positioned
upside
down.
Extra
cups
or
cooking
utensils can be laid
on the fold
down
cup
racks
which
may
also
provide support
for
long
stem
glasses.
Take care not to obstruct the rotation of the
spray
arm under the
upper
rack.
5.
Adjusting
the
Upper
Rack
Your
upper
rack can be raised or
lowered
to
cater for different size of
crockery.
Before
adjusting,
ensure rack is
empty
of
all
crockery.
Remove
the rail
pegs
in front
of the rack runners
by pulling
back,
then
slide the rack out. Re insert the rack in the
chosen
position
and
replace
the
pegs.
Fitting
the rack back into the standard
position
reduces the
space
between
the
upper
and
lower
rack.
After
adjusting,
check that the
spray
arm is free to rotate.
Non Dishwasher Safe Items
The combination of
high
water
temperatures
and
dishwasher
detergent may damage particular
items,
therefore
we
do not recommend
using
the
dishwasher
to
wash
the
following:
Copper
or anodized aluminum
Hand
painted
silver
or
gold
leaf
crockery
Wood
or bone handled utensils
Iron or non rust
proof
utensils
Plastic items
which
are not
dishwasher
safe.
