16 -17 . Downloaded from www.vandenborre.beFor the details on how to load the dishwasher please see section “Loading” on page The minimum permissible inlet water pressure is 0.04 MPa. The maximum permissible inlet water pressure is 1 MPa. The plug must be remained easily accessible after installation of the appliance.

x The dishwasher must only be used for the washing of household dishes and cooking utensils. x Never disconnect the appliance from the mains socket by pulling on the mains cord, always grasp the plug. x Never touch the dishwasher when barefoot or with wet hands or feet. x Do not open the door during a wash cycle as hot steam and water may be ejected. x Do not overload the dishwasher; the maximum number of place settings is 14. x If you are discarding an old appliance with a lock / latch fitted to the door, ensure that it is in a disabled condition to avoid the entrapment of children when playing. x Do not let children climb on the dishwasher door or place any heavy object on it while it is open, as this could unbalance the appliance.

Downloaded from www.vandenborre.beBEFORE INSTALLING YOUR DISHWASHER Before connecting your dishwasher to the power supply, check that the voltage stated on the rating label of your appliance corresponds to the voltage in your home. The appliance must be grounded. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages that may occur as a result of usage without grounding. :$51,1*'LVFRQQHFWHOHFWULFDOSRZHUEHIRUHLQVWDOOLQJ\RXUGLVKZDVKHU

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Your dishwasher can be installed in various locations in your kitchen as long as there is space and accessibility to connect your dishwasher to the water/drainage and electrical supply. NOTE: The plug must be accessible at all times. LEVELLING Place the dishwasher on an even, stable surface. It is very important that the dishwasher is perfectly levelled in order to avoid any malfunction. You can level the dishwasher by adjusting the base feet.

WATER PRESSURE For best operating results, incoming water pressure should be between 0.04 MPa and 1MPa. Incoming water supply for the dishwasher is controlled by a ‘pressure switch’, so if the household water pressure is low, dishwasher fill time will increase or may not operate.

WARNING: Please close the hydrant after using.

Inlet hose (Cold water supply) The water inlet hose from the machine terminates in a 3/4" female connector. The water supply should therefore terminate in a similar male connector and should have a stopcock close by in the pipe.

Connect the straight connector of the inlet hose to the water supply securely ensuring that the washers are securely in place at both ends of the hose.

Downloaded from www.vandenborre.beDrain hose Insert the drain hose into a drainage pipe or standpipe. The end of the hose should be dropped into a drainage pipe, the maximum height of which should be 1000 mm above the base of the dishwasher. The end of the hose must not be immersed in water to avoid the back flow. To allow for an air gap around the end of the drain hose, the diameter of the standpipe should be at least 40 mm.

If leaks are detected, immediately shut the water supply and check the hose connections fully. Re-tighten the connections if necessary. If for any reason you are unable to stop the leak yourself please seek advice from a qualified plumber.

POWER SUPPLY IMPORTANT: x The mains socket must be accessible at all times. x Do not connect an extension lead to the appliance to avoid potential safety hazards.

OPERATION Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of clean water and detergent (under pressure) against the soiled surface of dishes. The water is pumped through rotating spray arms, drained through a filter removing food and soiled particles, and pumped back through the spray arm. Soiled water is pumped out and replaced with clean water at the end of each cycle (the number of times depends on the cycle being used).

Downloaded from www.vandenborre.beNOTE: x Hard Water conditions will adversely affect washability performance of your dishwasher. Hard water conditions will also contribute to “Lime” (white film substance) deposits and/or “Scaling” on the stainless steel surface of the dishwasher tub and heater element located in the sump underneath the removable filter screen. x To minimise these conditions, it is recommended to periodically operate/rinse the inside of the dishwasher (empty) using 1 cup of white vinegar (at least once a week).

GENERAL WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the following recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading. Before loading the dishes into the rack it is necessary to: x Remove coarse food remains, e.g. bones, which may clog the filter or damage the wash pump. x Soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom then load them into the rack. There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before loading them into the rack.

x Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot tip over or obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the washing cycle. x Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be loaded with the opening facing downwards and with any cavities at an angle, to allow the water to drain out. x Do not stack dishes. x Do not place glasses too close together because they may knock against each other and break. x Make sure that the items being washed are dishwasher-safe. Items which are not dishwasher-safe: x Wooden x Handcrafted items x Plastic dishes (except when marked dishwasher-safe) x Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass x Aluminium dishes x Silverware x Glass and crystal x Decorated items

Adjusting the height of the upper rack In order to make it easier to arrange the crockery, the upper rack may be moved to a higher or lower level. The height of the upper rack can be adjusted by adjusting the handle and then placing it to a lower or higher position.

Folding back the cup shelves of the upper rack For better stacking of pots and pans, the cup shelves can be folded down.

Downloaded from www.vandenborre.beFolding plate supports of the lower rack To make full use of the space in the rack when large dishes are loaded, the rack has tilting plate supports which can be stowed horizontally.

The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will be formed on the utensils. This appliance is equipped with a water softener which uses a salt specifically designed to eliminate the minerals from the water. CAUTION: x Only use salt specially formulated for domestic dishwashers. x Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which may damage the water softening system. x Fill the salt container before starting the washing programme. In this way, the excess saline solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion. x If you plan to use dishwasher tablets for your washing needs, then you do not require to use salt or rinse agent. Filling with salt Unscrew the cap from the salt container. Place the supplied funnel so the end fits into the opening of the salt container. Load about 1.5 kg of salt into the salt container.

Screw the cap back clockwise. NOTE: The salt container must only be refilled when the salt indicator light illuminates. Depending on how fully the salt dissolves, the salt indicator light may still be on even though the salt container is filled.
