SAFETY AND WARNINGS
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.
• NSF 184-Certified residential dishwashers are not
intended for licensed food establishments.
• 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.
3
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
• 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.
• 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.

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 detergent or aluminium.
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 and will develop a cloudy appearance. You may prefer to wash these items by
hand.
Plastics
Some plastics may change shape or colour with hot water. Check manufacturer’s
instructions about washing plastic items. Dishwasher safe 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.
10
Along with setting the wash program, you may select one of the following the
additional options:
●
Extra dry: Increases the final rinse temperature and the length of the drying phase for
improved drying performance.
●
Quick: Uses additional water and energy for a faster wash time, while maintaining wash
performance.
●
Sanitize: Raises the water temperature during the rinse phase to sanitize dishes. Ideal
for washing items such as baby bottles and preserving jars.
Note:
●
Only one modifier can be set at a time
●
Not all modifiers are available for every wash program. If a wash modifier is not
available for the chosen wash program, then that modifier cannot be selected.

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 programs 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 70
0
C/158
0
F.
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 program, then
the heating conditions for sanitization may not be met. You may need to run the
program again to ensure sanitization of your dishes.
At the end of a wash program with sanitize, always check to make sure that sanitization
has been successful.
WASH MODIFIERS (SOME MODELS ONLY)

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 cloudy 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 (US), 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.
22
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 or for models with built-in water softeners, 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.

WATER SOFTENER (SOME MODELS ONLY)
IMPORTANT!
●
Only models 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.
Note:
●
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
normal.

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.
●
If the dishwasher is installed in a cold climate where temperatures fall below zero, we
also recommend winterizing.
Winterizing (Cold climates only)
1 Disconnect the dishwasher from the power supply,
2 Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3 Drain water from the inlet pipe and water valve, using a bucket or pan to collect the
water.
4 Reconnnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
5 Remove the drain filter and the filter plate from the bottom of the drawer and use a
sponge to remove any remaining water underneath.
6 Replace the drain filter and the filter plate, and completely dry all water from inside the
dishwasher.
