A. FILL THE RINSE AID DISPENSER

RINSE AID DISPENSER

The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes that can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to sheet off the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to the detergent dispenser. To fill the dispenser, open the cap and pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator turns completely black. The volume of the rinse aid container is about 110ml.

FUNCTION OF RINSE AID

Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.

ATTENTION

Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.

WHEN TO REFILL THE RINSE DISPENSER

The amount of rinse aid can be judged by the color of the optical level indicator "C" located next to the cap. When the rinse aid container is full, the whole indicator will be black. As the rinse-aid diminishes, the size of the dark dot decreases. You should never let the rinse aid get below 1 / 4 full.

As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below.

B. FUNCTION OF DETERGENT

PROPER USE OF DETERGENT

• Detergents with chemical ingredients are necessary to clean dirt from kitchenware and remove it from the dishwasher.
• Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry.
• Don't put powder detergent into the dispenser until you're ready to begin a new cycle

DETERGENTS

There are 3 types of detergents.

1. With phosphate and with chlorine
2. With phosphate and without chlorine
3. Without phosphate and without chlorine

CONCENTRATED DETERGENT

Based on their chemical composition, the detergents can be split in two basic types:

• conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components.
• low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.

The use of “normal” washing programs in conjunction with concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; these wash programs are specially matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For this reason normal wash programs in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that can otherwise only be achieved using “intensive” programs.

B. FUNCTION OF DETERGENT (cont.)

DETERGENT DISPENSER

The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the Wash Cycle Table. Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid than a conventional dishwasher.

Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.

AMOUNT OF DETERGENT TO USE

1 Push latch to open

2 Detergent Powder

Illustration of a washing machine with control panel and buttons (no text or symbols)

NOTE: • If the lid is closed: press release button. The lid springs open.

• Always add the detergent just before starting each wash cycle.
- Only use brand name detergents for the dishwasher.

WARNING

Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out of reach of children.

B. FUNCTION OF DETERGENT (cont.)

ADD DETERGENT

Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels, as illustrated below:

A Can hold 15g of detergent.
B Can hold 25g of detergent.

A B Pre-wash Compartment

Please see the manufacturers recommendations for the amount of detergent to use as stated on the detergent packaging.

Close the lid and press until it locks in place.

If the dishes are heavily soiled, place an additional detergent dose in the pre-wash detergent chamber. This detergent will take effect during the pre-wash phase.

NOTE:

• Please be aware, that according to the level of soiling and the specific hardness of water differences are possible.
• Please read the manufacturer's recommendations on the detergent packaging.

RECOMMENDATION

• Consider buying utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof.
• For particular items, select a program with a low temperature.
• Do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately after the program (wash cycle) has ended as they may be hot.

WASHING CUTLERY/ DISHES

ARE NOT SUITABLE

• Cutlery with wooden, horn 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.

3 After the spray arms stop working, you can open the door completely
4 Add forgotten dishes.
5 Close the door
6 Press the Start/Reset button, the dishwasher will run after 10 seconds.

AT THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE

When the working cycle has finished, the buzzer will sound for 8 seconds, then stop. Turn off the appliance using the ON/OFF button, shut off the water supply and open the door of the dishwasher. Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid handling the dishes and utensils while they are still hot and more susceptible to breakage. They will also dry better.

- Turn off the dishwasher

All the phase lights are off!

1. Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the ON/OFF button.
2. Turn off the water tap!

- Open the door carefully

Hot dishes are sensitive to impact. The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down around 15 minutes before being removed from the appliance. Open the dishwasher's door, leave it ajar and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes. This way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.

- Unloading the dishwasher

It is normal that the dishwasher is wet inside.

WARNING

It is dangerous to open the door during operation because the hot water may scald you.

INSTALLATION PREPARATION

The installation position of the dishwasher should be near the existing inlet and drain hoses and power cord. One side of the cabinet sink should be chosen to facilitate the connection of drain hoses to the dishwasher.

IMPORTANT

1. Once you open the water supply line, (even if it is closed immediately thereafter), the inlet hose will be pressurized.
2. To relieve water pressure from inside the inlet hose, first make sure the water line (faucet) is closed, then press and hold the red pressure relief button on the quick connect until the flow of water stops.

WARNING

Failure to relieve water pressure before disconnecting the quick connect from the faucet will result in back pressure over-spray. The temperature of the incoming water can be very hot and can cause severe burns and/or scalding.

! DANGER

Do not let children disconnect the dishwasher. Close supervision of children is always important around appliances.

NOTE: Hard water conditions will adversely affect the washing 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. To minimize these conditions, it is recommended to operate/rinse the inside of the dishwasher (empty) using 1 cup of white vinegar once a week.

DISCONNECTING YOUR DISHWASHER

1. Shut off the water supply at the faucet.
2. Disconnect the power supply cord
3. Relieve water pressure
4. Pull down on the quick connect collar

STARTING THE DISHWASHER

The following things should be checked before starting the dishwasher:

1 The dishwasher is level and fixed properly
2 There is no leakage at the connections of the conducts.
3 The wires are tightly connected
4 The power is turned on
5 Make sure the inlet and drain hoses are not twisted
6 All packing materials and removable printings should be taken out from the dishwasher

Care and maintenance

FILTERING SYSTEM

The filter prevents larger remnants of food or other objects from getting inside the pump.

The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (main filter) and a micro filter (fine filter).

Diagram showing a mechanical assembly with labeled parts 1, 2, and 3, including a central component and directional arrows.

Main filter 1

Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the spray arm and washed down to drain.

Fine filter 2

This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being deposited on the dishes during a wash cycle.

Course filter 3

Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass, that could block the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove the items caught by the filter, gently squeeze the tap on the top of this filter and lift it out.

FILTER ASSEMBLY

The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be recycled throughout a cycle. For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be regularly cleaned. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull upward on the cup handle in the upward direction.

Note: It is recommended that you remove and rinse the filters after each wash cycle.

CARING FOR THE DISHWASHER

WARNING

• Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place.
• The dishwasher must never be used without the filters.
• Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.

Step 1. Rotate the fine filter counterclockwise

Step 2. Lift it up.

Step 3. Lift the main filter up.

NOTE: If you follow the steps from Step1 to Step 3, the filter system will be removed; if you follow the steps from Step 3 to Step 1, the filter system will be installed.

• Inspect the filters for blockage every time the dishwasher is used.
• By unscrewing the coarse filter you can remove the filter system. Remove any food remnants and clean the filters under running water.
• The entire filter assembly should be cleaned once a week.

CLEANING THE FILTER

To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Reassemble the filter parts and reinsert the entire assembly in the dish-washer, by positioning it in the proper location and pressing downward.

WARNING

When cleaning the filters, handle with care. Otherwise, the filters could be damaged and the performance of dishwasher could be reduced.

The control panel can be cleaned by using a lightly dampened cloth and dried thoroughly. For the exterior use a good quality appliance polish wax. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

CLEANING THE DOOR

Technical line drawing of a rectangular electronic component or enclosure with no visible text or symbols

To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft damp cloth. To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.

WARNING

• Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel as it may damage the door lock and electrical components.
• Abrasive agents or some paper towels should not be used because of the risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stainless steel surface.

CARING FOR THE DISHWASHER (cont.)

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS

The spray arms can be easily removed for periodic cleaning of the nozzles, to prevent possible clogging. Wash them under running water and carefully replace them in their proper position, checking that their rotary movement is in no way impeded.

Grasp the middle of the spray arm, pull it upwards to remove it. Wash the arms under a jet of running water and return them carefully to their position. After reassembly, check that the spray arms turn freely.

HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR DISHWASHER

• After Every Wash

Turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly open so that moisture and odours are not trapped inside.

- Remove the Plug

Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket.

• No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning

To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Only use a cloth with warm soapy water. To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water with a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.

- When it is Not in Use

It is recommend that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly open. This will help the door seals last longer and prevent odours from forming within the appliance.

- Seals

One of the factors that cause odours to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.

Error Codes:

Speed Cycle Light is Flashing: The water faucet may not be turned on, the water intake is obstructed or the water pressure is too low.

Glass Cycle Light is Flashing: An area of the unit may be leaking. Turn off the water supply and call for service.

Occasionally a problem may arise that is minor in nature, and a service call may not be necessary. Use this troubleshooting guide for a possible solution. If the unit continues to operate improperly, call an authorized service depot or Danby's Toll Free Number 1-800-263-2629 for assistance.
