Important safety instructions

CHILDREN

This dishwasher is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the dishwasher by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the dishwasher.

• Keep detergents out of reach. Only put them into the machine just before starting a wash.
• Dishwasher water is not suitable for drinking.
• Never allow children to play on or sit on the door when it is open.
• Please ensure that packaging material is disposed of in a responsible manner. Plastic bags should be cut up to prevent children playing with them and accidentally suffocating.

SAFETY

• The dishwasher must be installed and connected in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
• Never place the dishwasher on a carpeted floor. Lack of airflow beneath the dishwasher could cause overheating.
• The dishwasher must only be used domestically and for the purposes for which it was designed.
• Do not leave the dishwasher exposed to direct sunlight or rain.
• Never add chemical solvents or flammable liquids to the tank as they constitute a fire hazard.
• Only use detergents and water softeners specifically manufactured for use in dishwashers.
• The door of the dishwasher has been designed to support the weight of a fully loaded lower rack. Never place any other load on the door as the dishwasher may then tip forwards.
• Should you at any time in the future scrap the dishwasher, cut the power cord and take measures to render the door lock inoperative thereby preventing children, when playing getting trapped inside.
• In case of malfunction or maintenance work, disconnect the dishwasher from the electrical mains immediately.

ENVIRONMENTAL CARE

You can save water by observing these simple guidelines:

• Remove bones and pips from dirty dishes.
• Avoid partial loads and only start the dishwasher when it is fully loaded.
• Only use the pre-wash programme for very dirty dishes.
• Select the programme according to the dirt level of the load.

DISHWARE GUIDE Ascertain that your dinnerware and cutlery is dishwasher compatible.

Before use

UNPACKING

- Remove all packaging material, accessories and documentation from the dishwasher.

DAMAGE

- Do not use the dishwasher if it has been damaged in transit. Report the damage to your dealer, who will take the necessary corrective action.

POSITIONING THE MACHINE

• The dishwasher should be positioned close to a cold water tap and a drain outlet.
• After positioning the dishwasher, adjust the feet by turning them in or out to level the unit.

PREPARATION

- Every dishwasher is tested and run 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 flush any factory related residuals from the system.

5

Installation

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

• The dishwasher must be earthed and the manufacturer and seller do not accept responsibility for any damage due to incorrect electrical connection.
• The machine should be plugged into a 15 Amp, 230 Volt 50 Hz earthed 3 pin wall socket.
• For safety reasons, the wall socket and the plug should be accessible after installation. If the power cord should ever need replacing, use only a genuine cord available from the nearest Defy Service Centre. Repairs should only be made by a qualified technician.

WATER CONNECTION

• Use a screw on hose connector to secure the filler hose to a 3/4 inch threaded cold water tap.
• The water supply pressure must be between 30 kPa and 1Mpa..
• If the supply plumbing is new or has not been used for some time, it is advisable to run the water until it is clear and free from dirt. We recommend fitting a filter to the water tap to impurities such as sand or rust from entering the washer.
• Do not use an old hose and only use the hose supplied with the dishwasher.
• Ensure that the inlet hose is not twisted, bent or squeezed shut.
• There are two different types of water inlet hoses: Cold water inlet hose (up to 25°C) and hot water inlet hose (up to 60°C). Please check which one is applicable to your model.

DRAIN REQUIREMENTS

• Secure the end of the drain hose to a drain pipe with an inside diameter of at least 4cm.
• The outlet end of the drain pipe should be between 50cm and 100cm above ground level.
• Do not use an old hose and only use hose supplied with the dishwasher.
• Take care not to kink, twist or squeeze the drain hose.

Adding water softener (dishwasher salt)

Simple line drawing of a kitchen appliance with a dome-shaped lid and handle, no text or symbols present

The dishwasher requires lime free water for optimum operation. The water supply in South Africa varies considerably. Some users have access to borehole water only, while others are supplied from reservoirs or dams. Users in urban areas would not normally require water softeners. It is advisable therefore to test your water supply. Check for white spots on glassware. If these appear, the water used is too hard and requires softening. Experience will soon show if softening is required.

Illustration of a hand adjusting a valve on a kitchen sink (no text or symbols visible)

Water softener container

The dishwasher is equipped with a salt container which automatically 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 use table salt or edible salt as these contain insoluble substances.

Illustration of a kitchen sink with a hand pouring liquid from a pot (no text or symbols)

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 used for the first time, pour about 1 litre of water into the container. (fig C) If the container has water in it this step is not required.
• Using the funnel supplied, add salt until the container is full. (fig D) The container holds about 2 kg of salt.
• Screw the lid back on until a "click" sound is heard.

Illustration of a kitchen scene with a funnel pouring liquid into a pot, and a stove on the right (no text or symbols)

To prevent damage which may be caused by spilt salt solution, we recommend you 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 hours.

3 B

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 calcium streaking on dishes and speeds up 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)
• Carefully pour the rinse aid into the dispenser to the MAX mark.
• Close the lid.
• Carefully wipe off any spilt rinse aid.
• The dispenser regulator (4) may be set between 1 and 6.

If lime marks appear after washing, select a lower setting.

If water marks 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 diluted or is lighter in colour, it needs to be replenished.

Adding detergent

A

25cm³ 15cm³ 1 2 5cm³

Illustration of a hand placing a component into an open device casing (no text or symbols visible)

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 pushing 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 measuring the correct amount of detergent. The container can hold 40cm^3 of detergent.(1)

For a full load and relatively dirty dishes, fill the container to the 25cm ^3 mark.

For slightly soiled dishes and a partial load, fill the compartment to the 15cm^3 mark.

If detergent tablets are used, these should be placed in the detergent dispenser.

If food particles are stuck and the dishes have not been washed for a long time, supplement the detergent by adding an additional amount to the open oval depression to the right of the detergent compartment.(2)

During the wash programme, the detergent will be dispensed automatically and the lid will be left open. The best washing results are obtained using detergent, rinse aid and water softening salts.

Multi purpose tablet detergents are available and can give satisfactory results.

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.

• Adjust the amount of detergent.
  We recommend you use tablet detergents as these are less affected by humidity during storage.
• Do not wash silverware with a heavily textured surface in the dishwasher

LIME STAINS AND A HAZY APPEARANCE

- Increase the amount of rinse aid - Water requires more softening. Add more salt.

RAINBOW / BLUEISH BLUSHING ON GLASSWARE

• Decrease the amount of rinse aid.
- If your supply water is soft (<5dH) do not use salt.
- Choose a longer programme that washes at a higher temperature.

SCRATCHED OR BROKEN GLASSWARE

• Add salt.
• Ensure there is no salt leakage. Clean up any spilt or residual salt and tighten the container.
• Do not overload baskets.
• Do not allow glasses to touch.

BLACKENING OF SURFACES

• Salt can cause oxdisation of metal surfaces. Use the supplied salt funnel when filling the salt container. Ensure that the salt container is properly closed. Run a programme to flush any spilt salt away. Check if the salt container is still tightly sealed after washing.
• Check that the dishwasher is properly earthed. Static electricity could remove the protective coating on metal surfaces.
