SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Your dishwasher has been carefully designed to operate safely during normal
dishwashing procedures. Please keep the following instructions in mind when you are
using your dishwasher.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• WARNING! - When using your
dishwasher, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the
dishwasher.
• The information in this manual must
be followed to minimise the risk
of fire or explosion or to prevent
property damage, personal injury or
loss of life.
• Use the dishwasher only for its
intended function as described in this
user guide and in your ‘Quick start
guide’.
• This appliance is intended to be used
in household and similar applications
such as:
– staff kitchen areas in shops, offices
and other working environments;
– farm houses;
– by clients in hotels, motels and
other residential type environments;
– bed and breakfast type
environments.
2
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
• Use only detergents or rinse aid
recommended for use in a domestic
dishwasher and keep them out of
reach of children. Check that the
detergent dispenser(s) is empty after
the completion of each wash program.
• When loading items to be washed,
locate sharp items so that they are
not likely to damage the internal lid of
the dishwasher and load sharp knives
with the handle up to reduce the risk
of cut-type injuries.
• Do not touch the filter plate (in
the dishwasher base) during or
immediately after use, as it may be
hot.
• Do not operate your dishwasher
unless all enclosure panels are
properly in place.
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• Do not abuse, sit on, stand in or
on the drawer or dish rack of the
dishwasher.
• The drawer should not be left in the
open position since this could present
a tripping hazard.
• The foldaway cup racks are designed
to support cups, glasses and kitchen
utensils. When the foldaway cup
racks are in the drawer do not lean
on or use them to support your body
weight.
3
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not
allow children to play in or on the
dishwasher.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen
gas may be produced in a hot water
heater system that has not been used
for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN
GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water
system has not been used for such a
period, before using the dishwasher,
turn on all hot water taps and let
the water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. As the
gas is flammable, do not smoke or use
an open flame during this time.
• Remove the door to the washing
compartment when removing an old
dishwasher from service or discarding
it.
• Some dishwasher detergents are
strongly alkaline. They can be
extremely dangerous if swallowed.
Avoid contact with the skin and eyes
and keep children away from the
dishwasher when the door is open.
Check that the detergent receptacle
is empty after completion of the wash
cycle.

10
CARING FOR YOUR DINNERWARE
The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage
to some items if they are washed in the dishwasher. Remember, if in any doubt about
any aspect concerning items washed in the dishwasher, follow the instructions from the
manufacturer of the items, or wash the item by hand.
Cutlery & 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, eg other cutlery. Mixing these items can cause
staining. Remove silver cutlery from the dishwasher and hand dry it immediately after
the program has finished.
Aluminium
Aluminium can be dulled by dishwasher detergent. The degree of change depends on
the quality of the product.
Other metals
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 the dishwasher
may cause deterioration over time. If in doubt, wash by hand.
Glassware
Most everyday 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 colour 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 fall through the base rack during the
wash.
Decorated items
Most modern 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.

Using sanitize
The sanitize wash modifier adjusts the wash program to meet the conditions required by
Section 6, NSF 184 for sanitization to occur.
While sanitize is running, the wash program is monitored to ensure that these conditions
are met.
IMPORTANT!
●
●
●
Only cycles utilising the sanitize wash modifier are certified to meet the conditions
required by Section 6, NSF 184. Other wash programs may not reach the temperatures
required for sanitization to occur. See table on previous page for wash programs that
have sanitize available
For sanitization to occur, the temperature of the water needs to reach 700C/1580F.
Check that all items are ‘dishwasher safe’ before running the sanitize modifier.
If the wash is interrupted or the water supply is turned off during the cycle, then the
heating conditions for sanitization may not be met. You may need to run the cycle
again to ensure sanitization of your dishes.
At the end of a wash programme with sanitize, always check the display to make sure
that sanitization has been successful.
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
If sanitization has been successful:
The dishwasher will beep
0 will show in the display
The sanitize indicator will remain lit.
After 30 seconds the display will turn off.
If sanitization has not been successful:
An alert will sound
An alert code will show in the display
The sanitize indicator will not be lit.
Check if the water supply has been turned

LOADING SUGGESTIONS
●
●
●
When loading your drawer, make sure that
you place items so that water coming from the rotating spray arms below can reach all
areas (wash performance will be reduced if it can’t)
nothing blocks the water from getting to items on the foldaway cup racks
glass and other fragile items are stable, so that they do not accidentally topple and
break during the wash.
How NOT to load your drawer
●
●
●
●
●
20
Overcrowded and wash water will not
reach some of the dinnerware.
Cups, glasses and bowls must have
their openings facing down.
●
Ensure dishware items are not forced
into or protrude out of the drawer, as this
may prevent the internal lid of the drawer
from properly sealing which could result
in a service call.
Locate sharp items safely to prevent
injuring the user and damaging the lid
assembly.
Check the bottom of the cutlery basket
to ensure sharp or pointed items have
not come through as they may stop spray
arm rotation.
●
●
●
●
●
The plates are nesting together and
wash water may not get through.
Ensure cutlery are not nesting or stuck
together. They need to be evenly spread
out.
Ensure cutlery has not fallen through the
base rack and stopped the spray arms
from rotating.
The large bowl is blocking wash water
reaching the foldaway cup racks.
Large utensils should be placed on
the foldaway cup racks so they do not
become dislodged and stop the spray
arms from rotating.
Sharp or pointed items must be placed
horizontally or with sharp edges/points
facing down to avoid risk of injury.
WATER HARDNESS AND DISHWASHING
What is water hardness?
Hard water is water with a high concentration of minerals such as calcium and
magnesium. In soft water, this concentration is low. Water hardness varies by
geographical location.
How does water hardness affect dishwashing?
●
●
Hard water can be detrimental to the performance of your dishwasher. Over time,
glassware washed in hard water will become opaque and dishes will become spotted or
covered in a white film. Using very hard water can cause dishwasher parts to fail over
time.
Naturally soft or softened water has no detrimental effects if used with the correct
amount of detergent. However, excess detergent combined with hot, soft water may
cause irreversible etching on glassware. Etching first appears as a rainbow-coloured film
and—if allowed to continue—can make glassware permanently opaque.
What can I do to minimise any detrimental effects?
Contact your local water company to find out about water hardness in your area.
●
●
Note:
Some models (those with a letter ‘H’ in the model name) have a built in water softener.
Models with water softener are not currently available in New Zealand and Australia.
If your home has hard water and your dishwasher has no built-in water softener…
●
●
●
●
Follow the detergent quantity recommendations on the following pages.
If available, use a detergent with high phosphate content. Phosphate softens the
water and this improves wash results. If detergent with phosphate is not available, we
recommend using multi-purpose tablets.
Use rinse aid. We recommend you raise the rinse aid setting to 5 to help improve wash
performance. See quickstart guide for instructions.
Use a dishwasher cleaner/descaler regularly, or whenever you notice a build-up of
limescale deposits in your dishwasher.
IMPORTANT!
If your dishwasher has no built-in water softener and you live in a hard water area,
we recommend fitting a water softener to the household water supply. If the water
hardness in your home is above 250 ppm/14.6 gpg, a water softener has to be fitted
to maintain the performance of your dishwasher.
If your home has naturally soft or softened water…
●
●
Avoid using too much detergent. Follow the quantity recommendations on the following
pages.
Ensure the drawer is not overloaded and water can reach all the dishes.
21
WASH PROGRAMS AND POWDERED DETERGENT QUANTITIES
●
●
●
Find out about water hardness in your home, then use the table below to determine
how much powdered detergent to use for each wash program. See also section ‘Water
hardness and dishwashing’.
For information on which program to use for your load, see your ‘Quick start guide’.
The main powdered detergent dispenser has markings to help you measure the correct
quantities. See following section ‘Adding detergent’.

If you have a household water softener installed, use the quantities recommended for water with a
hardness under 100 ppm/6 gpg, irrespective of the water hardness in your area. See also section ‘Water
softener’.
Notes:
If your water hardness is above 625ppm/36 gpg, we highly recommend you completely
fill the main detergent dispenser for all programs (except Rinse) and the secondary
dispenser for heavily soiled loads. The rinse aid setting should be at 5.
If your water hardness is above 625ppm/36 gpg, the wash performance of your
dishwasher will decline.

Notes on using tablets
If you are using tablets, follow manufacturer instructions on the packet. Some tablets
may not be suitable for all wash programs.
Using tablets could improve wash performance in hard water areas.
Make sure that tablets never get in direct contact with dishes or cutlery.
If you are using dishwasher tablets with a built-in rinse aid component, we recommend
turning off the rinse aid (). See your ‘Quick start guide’ for instructions.
IMPORTANT!
Dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline. They can be extremely dangerous if
swallowed. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes and keep children and infirm persons
away from the dishwasher when it is open. Check that the powdered detergent
dispenser is empty after completion of the wash program.
26
USING RINSE AID
●
●
●
●
●
We recommend using liquid rinse aid regularly to give the best drying results.
Rinse aid gives a streak-free, sparkling clean look to glass and chinaware. It also
prevents metal from tarnishing.
The rinse aid dispenser is on the inside of the drawer, underneath the detergent
dispenser.
It holds approximately 1.7 fl oz / 50 ml of rinse aid.
You may hear some unusual, high-pitched beeping when rinse aid is
being dispensed. This is normal.
When to refill rinse aid
●
●
If the indicator glows or flashes bright red, refill rinse aid.
If the indicator glows or flashes dimly or not at all, you do not
need to refill: there is enough rinse aid for the wash.
Indicator
light
Plug
Note: Lighter coloured rinse aids will not dim the
indicator as effectively as darker ones.
Turn the plug
anticlockwise.
How to refill rinse aid
1 Turn the plug anticlockwise and remove.
2 Pour rinse aid into the circular opening, taking care not to spill any
into the drawer.
IMPORTANT!
Any accidental spillages of rinse aid must be wiped up.
If not wiped up, spilt rinse aid will cause excessive foaming,
resulting in a service call that will not be covered by warranty.
3 Refit the plug, then turn it clockwise back to its original position.
Remove the plug
IMPORTANT!
Make sure that the plug is closed tight, with its hand grip
in a vertical position.
How much rinse aid to use
●
●
●
You may need to adjust the amount of rinse aid dispensed in
each wash to suit your water conditions. The lowest setting
is ‘0 (off)’, the highest is ‘5’. See the ‘Preference options’ section of
your ‘Quick start guide’ for instructions on how to change
the rinse aid 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.
If you live in a hard water area and you have no water softener
installed in your water supply or built into your dishwasher,
we recommend adjusting the rinse aid setting to 5.
Pour rinse aid into

WATER SOFTENER (SOME MODELS ONLY)
IMPORTANT!
●
●
●
Only some models (those with a letter ‘H’ in the model name) have a built-in water
softener.
Models with water softener are not currently available in New Zealand and Australia.
Models without built in water softener:
If living in an area with very hard water, consult a plumber on installing a household
water softener.
Setting up the water softener
Determine the water hardness in your local area
Your local water company will be able to provide you with information. Identify the
setting you require for your dishwasher from the water hardness table below. For
example, if your water hardness is 500ppm, then the water softener setting on your
dishwasher should be 4. Refer to the ‘Preference options’ section of your ‘Quick start
guide’ for instructions on adjusting the water softener setting.

If your water hardness is above 625ppm/36 gpg, we highly recommend you completely
fill the detergent dispenser for all programs except Rinse, and the rinse aid setting
should be at 5. If your water hardness is above 625ppm/36 gpg, the wash performance
of your dishwasher will decline.
You may hear some unusual noises when the water softener is in operation, this is

How to fill the salt reservoir
1 Open the drawer(s).
2 Unscrew the salt reservoir cap by turning anticlockwise.
3 Place the salt into the salt container and pour the contents into the salt reservoir.
The salt reservoir can hold up to approximately 1 lb/0.5 kg of salt.
4 Fit the cap tightly back into its original position.
5 If you do not wash your dishes immediately after filling the salt reservoir, run a Rinse
program to remove any salt water or spilt granules.
Salt
reservoir
Note:
When filling the salt reservoir, you may
notice water being displaced from the
water softener overflow.
IMPORTANT!
The water softener must always be filled
with granular salt made especially for
dishwasher water softening systems.
We do not recommend the use of cooking
salt like table salt, rock salt or pellets as
they may contain impurities that will impair or
diminish the life of the water softener.
Salt

Water softening can only take place when there
is salt in the reservoir. The salt reservoir must
be filled prior to using the dishwasher and
whenever the salt indicator light is red.

If the salt indicator light is red, the salt reservoir is empty.
If the salt indicator light is black, there is enough salt in
the reservoir for the wash program that has been selected.
The display will also indicate when the salt reservoir is empty by displaying the salt
symbol.
IMPORTANT!
Do not pour detergent or rinse aid into the salt
reservoir. Detergent and rinse aid will destroy
the water softener.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT!
Disconnect the dishwasher from the power supply (unplug or switch off at the circuit
breaker) and allow all its parts to cool before any cleaning or maintenance.
Holiday time
●
●
If the dishwasher is not going to be used for some time, we recommend you leave
it clean and empty. Leave the drawers ajar to allow air to circulate. Turn off both the
power and water supply to the dishwasher.
When using your dishwasher for the first time after a long period away, we recommend
pouring 3 cups of water into the drawer before loading and starting a wash. This is to
lubricate components that may have dried out during non-use.
Cleaning the surfaces
1 Wipe with a clean damp cloth. Take care not to wet the control panel.
2 Dry with a clean lint-free cloth.
IMPORTANT!
We do not recommend the use of the following cleaning aids on your dishwasher as
they may damage the surfaces:
●
●
●
●
●
●
Plastic or stainless steel scouring pads
Abrasive, solvent, household cleaners
Acid or alkaline cleaners
Hand washing liquids or soap
Stainless steel cleaners or polishes
Laundry detergents or disinfectants
Cleaning the drain filter, spray arm and filter plate
●
●
We recommend that the drain filter and filter plate in each drawer are removed and
cleaned about once a month in normal use or whenever there is evidence of food
particles.
The spray arm in normal use should require cleaning less frequently.

Cleaning the drain filter and filter plate
IMPORTANT!
●
●
●
If a dishwasher cleaner / descaler is used, you must run a wash programme with
detergent immediately afterward to prevent any damage to your dishwasher.
The dishwasher must be used with the filter plate, drain filter and spray arm correctly
in place.
We recommend that you always use the dishwasher with the right hand fixed tine
plate rack or fold down tine rack (depending on model) in place.
Remove the fixed tine plate rack and/or the base rack first
1 Unplug the dishwasher or turn it off at the power supply.
Note: For ease of access to the drain filter and filter plate you may find it easier to
remove the whole base rack first.
To remove the whole base rack: lift the rack up from the back first to prevent it knocking
against the detergent and rinse aid dispenser and lift out.
2 If the base rack is left in - to then access the drain filter:
●
Remove the cutlery basket
●
Lift the trap door up
●
Lift the front of the fixed tine plate rack to unclip it from the base rack
●
Slide the fixed tine plate rack forward clear of the rear anchoring loop and lift out.

IF THERE IS A FAULT
How do I know if there is a fault?
Your dishwasher will self-diagnose and let you know by
beeping continuously and displaying a flashing fault code.
Single models:
If there is a fault in the drawer:
The fault code will flash in the display.
Double models:
If there is a fault in one of the drawers:
The drawer indicator of the drawer with the fault will
flash, and the fault code will flash in the display.
If the fault is on a non-selected drawer, the display will
revert to the flashing fault code for the affected drawer.

●
●
●
Note:
If a fault occurs in one drawer only you are still able to
use the other drawer.
if you have paused a drawer and the drawer indicator was
flashing red, and the other drawer then faults, the paused
drawer indicator will continue flashing but will be dimmed.
If there is a fault in both drawers:
the selected drawer indicator will flash and the
fault code will flash in the display.
the drawer indicator of the other drawer will also
flash.
Press
to scroll between the drawers and
note down the fault codes for each drawer.
There may be the same code flashing for both, or two
different codes flashing, depending on the faults.
