Installation
DANGER! Make sure your electrical power is disconnected before installing the
dishwasher. Failure to do so can result in death or electric shock.
IMPORTANT! All relevant pipes and electrical equipment should be installed by
licensed plumbers, electricians or dishwasher installers. Make sure
to use new water supply and drain hoses; do not use old hoses.
IMPORTANT! Read this manual to familiarise yourself with all parts and operating
principles. Pay particular attention to the safety instructions.
Unpacking the appliance
• This product has been packaged to protect it against transportation damage.
Unpack the appliance but keep all packaging materials until you have made sure
your new dishwasher is undamaged and in good working order.
• The packaging carton is recyclable. Whenever possible, reuse the carton and
recycle it when disposing of the packaging materials.
• Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children, so
ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach, and dispose of them safely.
• The baskets inside the dishwasher are taped to secure them during transport.
Remove any tape, ties and foam padding from inside the dishwasher.
• IMPORTANT! Using the loading instructions on pages 18–21 for guidance, make
sure all parts in the upper and lower baskets are properly installed inside the
dishwasher – you may need to relocate the cup/cutlery rack for appropriate usage.
• Unwind the cord to its full length and inspect it for damage. Do not use if damaged.
In case of damage, contact our after sales support centre for advice.
Positioning the appliance
• This dishwasher is freestanding. It can also be recessed under a single benchtop.
• Position the dishwasher close to an existing water inlet and drain connection and
make sure there is a power point nearby, or in an adjoining cabinet.
• The back should rest against the wall behind it and the sides along any adjacent
cabinets or walls.
• The dishwasher’s water supply and drain hoses can be positioned either to the
right or left sides to facilitate proper installation.
• Make sure the appliance does not stand on any water hoses or the power cable.

AUS MODEL: STR-SSDW14 PRODUCT CODE: 10933 09/2019
Levelling the appliance
• Position the dishwasher on a level and sturdy floor.
• If the floor is uneven, adjust the adjustable feet until
it reaches a horizontal position; just screw the feet
in or out a little (Fig. 1).
• The appliance should not be inclined more than 2°.
• Correctly levelled, the appliance will be more stable
and much less likely to move or cause vibrations
and noise during operation.
Freestanding installation
Between existing cabinets
• The height of the dishwasher, 845mm, has been
designed in order to allow the machine to be fitted
between existing cabinets of the same height in
modern fitted kitchens (Fig. 2). The feet can be
adjusted so that the correct height is reached.
• The laminated top of the machine does not require
any particular care.
Underneath an existing worktop
• In most modern fitted kitchens there is only
one single worktop under which cabinets and
electrical appliances are fitted. If you want to fit
this dishwasher under an existing worktop, you
need to remove the worktop of the dishwasher by
unscrewing the screws under the rear edge of the
top (Fig. 3: a).
IMPORTANT! Keep the screws! After removing the
worktop you will have to screw them back under
the rear edge of the top (Fig. 3: b).
• The height of the dishwasher will then be reduced
to 815mm (as per ISO regulations), which means it
should fit perfectly under your kitchen worktop.

Installation (Cont.)
Cold water connection
• Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4”
connector. During use, the dishwasher will heat up the
water to the required temperature. Make sure the hose is
not kinked or squashed and is fastened tightly in place
(Fig. 4).
• If the water pipes are new or have not been used for
an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free of
impurities. This step is necessary to avoid the risk of the water inlet being blocked
and damaging the appliance.
• WARNING! Always close the water tap after using the dishwasher.
Drain hose connection
• The drain hose must be connected to the drain hose connector at the back of the
dishwasher. Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of
40mm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending, crimping or squashing
it. The height of drain pipe must be less than 1000mm from the floor. The free end of
the hose must not be immersed in water to avoid the backflow of water.
• Follow the illustration below (Fig. 5) when installing the drain hose connection
according to option Aor B.
• The drain hose must be correctly fitted in order to prevent water leaks. It should be
connected at a height of no more than 1m (maximum) and secured with a hose clip.
• If you need to drain any excess water from hoses and the sink is higher than 1m
from the floor, you will need to drain the excess water into a bowl or container held
underneath the pipe and lower than the sink.
• If you need a drain hose extension, make sure to use a similar hose that is no longer
than 4 metres, otherwise the cleaning effect of the dishwasher could be reduced.

Electrical connection
Make sure that the electrical voltage and circuit frequency in your home correspond to
those indicated on the appliance rating label and that the electrical system is sized for
the maximum voltage on the rating plate. This appliance requires a 10A fused, copper-
wired electrical supply. A time delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended, as well
as provision of a separate circuit serving only this appliance. A suitable power outlet
should be located in an adjacent cabinet.
To connect the dishwasher, insert the plug into a properly earthed, easily accessible
electrical socket. If the socket is not appropriate for the plug, replace the socket rather
than use an adaptor or the like as such devices could cause overheating and burns.
Installation (Cont.)
WARNING!
• Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor with this appliance.
• Do not bend the power cord. Do not place the appliance on top of the cord.
• Do not modify the plug provided with this appliance. If it does not fit into your
power point, have a suitable outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Earthing
This appliance must be earthed. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, earthing
will reduce the risk of an electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the
electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-earthing
conductor and an earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is installed and earthed in accordance with all local standards and requirements.
WARNING!
• Ensure the outlet is properly earthed to the ground. If unsure, consult a qualified
electrician or a service representative. Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in the risk of an electric shock if the appliance
malfunctions.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third grounding prong from the
power plug.
Before first use
After your new dishwasher has been installed, and before using it for the first time,
make sure to check the following points to ensure safe and efficient operation:
• Is the dishwasher level and properly installed?
• Is the water tap open?
• Are the hose connections secured tightly and there is no leakage at either end?
• Are all electrical cords tightly connected?
• Is the power switched on at the power point?
• Are the inlet and drain hoses free of knots and kinks?
• Has all packing material been removed from the dishwasher?
• Is all product documentation stored safely for easy access?

Loading the dishwasher
For best performance of your dishwasher, follow the loading guidelines in this manual.
ATTENTION: Before loading the dishwasher baskets:
It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water before you put them into
the dishwasher. However, we recommend you scrape off any large amounts of leftover
food and soften remnants of burnt food in pots and pans.
Place objects in the dishwasher in the following way:
• Hollow items such as cups, glasses, pots, pans, etc. should be placed upside
down so water cannot collect in the container or in a deep base.
• Curved items, or items with recesses, should be loaded at a slant so water can run off.
• All utensils should be stacked securely so they cannot tip over.
• All dishes and utensils should be placed in a way so the spray arms can rotate
freely during washing.
• Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall
out of the baskets and obstruct moving parts.
• Dishes and items of cutlery should not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
• To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
• WARNING! Long bladed knives stored upright are a potential hazard! Always position
these and other sharp cutlery items horizontally on the cup/cutlery racks.
• Do not overload your dishwasher; it will hold a maximum of 14 standard place settings.
This is important for better washing results and lowers energy consumption.
• WARNING! Do not pull out the upper and lower basket at the same time, which
can lead to the appliance tipping forward.
Protecting your glass and tableware
Much of today’s tableware is dishwasher safe. However, not everything can be
washed safely in a dishwasher. The chemical composition of your dishwasher deter-
gent or the water temperature and duration of the wash program may adversely affect
some materials. To protect your special cutlery, glass and tableware from damage,
select a wash program with as low a temperature as possible (see pages 16–17 for
program details).
We recommend you do not wash in a dishwasher the items listed below, and take
special care with items deemed of limited suitability. And when buying new dishes,
glassware, porcelain or cutlery, look for products labelled dishwasher safe.
Not suitable for the dishwasher: cutlery with wooden, china or mother-of-pearl
handles; plastic items that are not heat resistant; older cutlery with glued parts that
are not temperature resistant; bonded cutlery items or dishes; pewter or copper items;
lead crystal glass; steel items subject to corrosion (rusting); wooden platters.
Of limited suitability: some types of glasses can become dull with frequent machine
washing; items made of silver and aluminium tend to discolour from machine washing;
glazed patterns may fade with frequent machine washing.

Loading the upper basket
The upper basket is designed to hold
more delicate and lighter tableware
such as glasses, cups, small plates,
bowls and shallow pans (as long as
they are not too dirty).
Position these items securely so they
do not get moved by the spray of
water (Fig. 6).
The cup/cutlery trays
Fig. 8: Lower position Upper position
Wheels
Place long items, serving cutlery, salad servers,
knives and similar lightweight items (max. 1.5kg)
on one of the cup/cutlery racks (Fig. 7: A+B) in
the upper basket, so that they do not obstruct the
rotation of the spray arms. The extra rack (A) can
be removed when not required for use. It can hold
a maximum of 1.5kg. Rack (B) can be folded down
for convenience.
Adjusting the upper basket height
The height of the upper
basket can easily be
adjusted in order to create
more space for large utensils
in the upper or lower basket.
To adjust the height of the
upper basket, pull the basket
out and remove it from the
dishwasher cabinet, then
reinstall it with either the upper
or lower wheels on the rails
(Fig. 8).

Folding down the spike rows
If you need more space for pots and pans in the lower
basket, you can fold down the spike rows at the back (Fig. 11: A), so that larger or
more pots and pans can be loaded. Each row can be folded separately, or both
together to obtain a larger area. To fold down the spike rows, release them from the
frame using the blue clips at the side (Fig. 11: B).
Pots, pans, serving dishes
and bowls are often the
most difficult to clean and fit
best into the lower basket.
Always place pots, pans
and bowls upside down
into the basket or at a slant
so the water can flow out
(Fig. 10).
Load large serving dishes
and lids on the side of the
baskets so they do not block
the rotation of the top spray
arm. To ensure the detergent
dispenser lid can open freely,
the maximum diameter for
plates in front of the deter-
gent dispenser is 19cm.
