Installation

Location

When selecting a position for your freestanding dishwasher you should make sure the installation surface is flat and firm, and the room is well ventilated. Avoid locating your dishwasher near a heat source, eg. cooker, boiler or radiator. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance not to perform properly. This dishwasher is not designed for use in a garage or outdoor installation.

Do not drape the dishwasher with any covering. When installing, ensure that free space is left at the sides. Please refer to the separate Installation Guide for detail installation requirements and process.

Currys Essentials CDW45W10 - Location - 1

  • We recommend that you contact a qualified technician for the installation. You should only try to install the dishwasher yourself if you believe that you are qualified to do so.
  • All parts removed must be saved to do the reinstallation in the future. Ensure the dishwasher is unplugged and empty. We recommend that 2 people handle the dishwasher during assembly.

Before Operating

To open the door

  • Pull the door handle to open the door.
  • If the door is opened during operation, all functions are automatically interrupted.

To close the door

• After loading the dishes, push the baskets fully into the dishwasher.
- Life the door upwards and push until it clicks into position.
- Do not slam the dishwasher door.

Currys Essentials CDW45W10 - To close the door - 1

- When purchasing new crockery and cutlery, please make sure they are dishwasher-proof. Some items are not suitable for dishwashers, for examples:

  • Wooden cutlery and crockery or items with wooden parts may discolour and fade. The glue used in these items is not dishwasher-proof either, and the wooden handles may come loose after being washed in a dishwasher.
  • Craft items, antiques, valuables vases and decorative glassware are also not suitable for dishwashers.
  • Plastic items (e.g. tupperware) which are not heat resistant may melt or lose shape due to the high temperatures in the dishwasher.
    • Copper, brass, tin and aluminium items may discolour or become matt.

GB-6

Currys Essentials CDW45W10 - To close the door - 2

- Clouding may occur on glasses and delicate glassware after frequent washing. Do not wash delicate glassware, or glassware containing lead crystal in a dishwasher. Please wash delicate glassware by hand instead.

• Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing. Residues like egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore, please clean the residues from silver immediately after use.

Adding the Detergent Powder and Tablet

Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. To be more environmentally friendly, please use no more than the correct amount of detergent. Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent power or tablet.

Please follow the steps below to fill the detergent dispenser.

  1. Push the button on the lid of the detergent dispenser in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.

  2. Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent powder to both main wash detergent chamber and pre-wash detergent chamber, or insert the detergent tablet to the main detergent chamber. The marking indicates the filling level.

TIP: All programmes with pre-wash need an additional detergent dosage that must be placed in the pre-wash detergent chamber. Please refer to the the wash cycle table. This detergent will take effect during the pre-wash phase.

  1. Close the lid firmly so that it clicks into place.

  • WARNING! Keep out of the reach of children.
  • Irritating to eyes. Avoid contact with eyes.
  • In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
    • If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately.

Adding of Rinse Aid

Rinse aid helps to ensure water does not cling and leave marks on crockery during the drying phase and helps crockery dry faster after it has been washed. Only pour rinse aid that is for domestic dishwashers into the reservoir. This model is designed to use liquid rinse aid only.

Please follow the steps below to pour the rinse aid into the storage reservoir, and the amount will dispense automatically.

  1. Turn the cap and open. When the cap open marking is aligned, you may lift the cap up.
  2. Pour the rinse aid until the rinse aid indicator turns completely black in colour and close the cap.
  3. Be careful not to overfill the reservoir. Wipe up any spills.

  • Rinse aid warning light will illuminate when the reservoir is running out of rinse aid and requires refilling.
  • Alternatively, you can judge the amount of rinse aid by checking the rinse aid indicator light next to the reservoirs cap when the indicator is black, it means it is full. When it is clear, it means it is almost empty.

Adjusting Rinse Aid Reservoir

The rinse aid reservoir has six settings. Both the recommended setting and the factory setting is "4". If the dishes are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number until your dishes are spot-free.

Currys Essentials CDW45W10 - Adjusting Rinse Aid Reservoir - 1

  • If the water hardness in your area is soft, you may not need rinse aid as it may cause white film to develop on your dishes.
  • If there are some rinse aid residue left in the washing compartment or your dishes, please turn the rinse aid dispenser dial to 1.
  • If you select to use detergent tablet, you do not need to add rinse aid into the rinse aid reservoir.

GB-8

Adding of Salt

If the water in your area is hard, deposits will form on your dishes and utensils. As such, this appliance contains a salt reservoir for you to reduce the hardness of the water.

Please follow the steps below to pour the salt into the salt reservoir and to correspond to the water hardness level in your area.

  1. Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.
  2. Fill the reservoir with approximately 500ml of water (first use only).
  3. Place the funnel provided over the salt reservoir. Pour in approximately 1.2kg of dishwasher salt depending on the brand used.
  4. Clean any excess salt from around the reservoir opening and then screw the cap on again firmly.
  5. Run the "Rapid" wash programme immediately (without any crockery in the dishwasher) to remove any traces of salt from the compartment.

Currys Essentials CDW45W10 - Adding of Salt - 1

  • The salt refill warning indicator on the control panel will illuminate when the reservoir is running out of sale and requires refilling.
  • The salt refill warning indicator will cease to illuminate within a few days, depending on how quickly the salt dissolves.
  • If you select to use detergent tablet, you do not need to add rinse aid into the rinse aid reservoir.

Loading the Dishwasher

Before loading the dishwasher

In general, please observe the following notes before loading your cutlery and crockery in the basket.

Currys Essentials CDW45W10 - Before loading the dishwasher - 1

- Remove lipstick stains and any food residues from crockery and dishes. Rinse if necessary.

- Dishes and cutlery must not lay inside one another or cover each other.

- Loading your cutlery and crockery so that water can access all surfaces.

- Ensure all items are securely positioned.

- Hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. must be placed upside down in the basket.

- Wide based items should be placed at an angle so that water can run off them freely. The spray arms must not be blocked by items which are too tall or hang through the baskets. If in doubt, test for free movement by manually torating the spray arm.

- Ensure that small items cannot fall through the holders in the basket.

- CAUTION: Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or paint in the dishwasher. These items can cause damage to the dishwasher. Ash does not dissolve and can distribute in the dishwasher.

Currys Essentials CDW45W10 - Before loading the dishwasher - 2

- For safety reasons, do not operate the dishwasher without the dishwasher basket in place.

Upper Basket

We recommend using the upper basket for small and lightweight items such as cups saucers, glasses, dessert bowls, etc. Shallow pans or casserole dishes can aslo be placed in the dishwasher basket. Long items such as soup ladles, mixing spoons and long knives should be placed lying down across the front of the upper basket.

Currys Essentials CDW45W10 - Please follow the steps below to start a wash cycle. - 1

- If you open the dishwasher's door during the washing cycle and then close it, the dishwasher will continue the current washing programme after 10 seconds. However, if the door is not closed correctly after 1 minute, the dishwasher will make an audible sound at 1 minute intervals.

Changing a Programme

To change the programme if the washing cycle has already started, follow the steps below.

  1. Press the Start/Reset button to pause the unit.
  2. Open the door slightly to check if the unit has dispensed the detergent or detergent tablet. This will depend on how long the washing cycle was running for.
  3. If the detergent dispenser lid is opened, we suggest you allow the wash cycle to finish.
  4. If the detergent dispenser lid is still closed, switch off the dishwasher. Close the dishwasher door. Press the On/Off button and then turn the Programme Control Dial to select the required new programme. Press the Start/Reset button and the unit will start the new washing cycle shortly.

At the End of a Programme

At the end of the programme, the dishwasher will sound.

GB-14

Currys Essentials CDW45W10 - At the End of a Programme - 1

The condensation strip helps to prevent the risk of steam damaged to the worktop edging above the dishwasher, it is advisable to leave the door closed until you are ready to unload the crockery. You can also open the dishwasher door fully until the dishes and crockery are cool enough to unload. Do not leave the door only partially open.

Switching off the Dishwasher

For energy saving, please remember to switch the dishwasher off using the On/Off button. The dishwasher will continue to use electricity until it is switched off with the On/Off button.

Currys Essentials CDW45W10 - Switching off the Dishwasher - 1

If the dishwasher is not going to be used for a long period of time, e.g. on holiday, please disconnect the dishwasher from the mains supply.

Unloading the Dishwasher

Allowing dishes to cool down before unloading is important because dishes tend to break and chip more easily when they are hot. Therefore, if you open the dishwasher door fully after switching off this will allow the dishes to cool down much faster.

We suggest:

Unload the lower basket first, followed by the cutlery basket and then the upper basket.

This will prevent water drops from the upper basket from falling on to the dishes in the lower basket.

Half Load

In case you do not have enough dishes for a full load, the half load option can be selected for washing with upper spray only. Load the dishes in the upper basket only. This will bring about a saving in hot water and electricity. Please follow the steps below.

  1. Open the dishwasher door and load your soiled dishes and crockery onto the upper basket.
  2. Close the door.
  3. Press the On/Off button to turn on the dishwasher.
  4. Select your preferred programme.
  5. Press the 1/2 button.
  6. The unit will start the programme with upper spray only.

Cleaning After Use

External Care

The Door and the Door Seal

Clean the door seals regularly with a soft damp cloth to remove food deposits.

When the dishwasher is being loaded, food and drink residues may drip onto the sides of the dishwasher door. These surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not accessed by water from the spray arms. Any deposits should be wiped off these surfaces before the door is closed.

The Control Panel

If cleaning is required, the control panel should be wiped with a soft damp cloth ONLY.

Currys Essentials CDW45W10 - The Control Panel - 1

  • ATTENTION: To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.
  • Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they may scratch the finish. Some paper towels may also scratch or leave marks on the surface.

Filtering System

The filtering system in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse soil from the suds solution. Collection of coarse soil may cause the filters to clog. Check the condition of the filters regularly and clean them if necessary under running water.

Please follow the steps below to clean the filters in the wash cabinet.

  1. Ensure the dishwasher is switched off.
  2. Turn the coarse filter anti-clockwise and gently lift it out.
  3. Gently lift the main filter and the fine filter with care.
  4. Rinse all the filters under running water, including the filter cylinder, and then refit all filters in the reverse order.
  5. Gently refit the main filter back with care.
  6. Gently rescrew the coarse filter in clockwise direction.

GB-16

Currys Essentials CDW45W10 - Filtering System - 2

  • Do not over tighten the filters.
  • Put the filters back in sequence securely. Otherwise coarse soil could get into the system and cause a blockage.
  • WARNING: NEVER use the dishwasher without filters in place. Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.

Spray Arms

Particles of food can get stuck in the spray arm jets and bearings. The spray arms should therefore be checked and cleaned regularly.

  1. Ensure the dishwasher is switched off.
  2. Use a pointed object, for instance a cocktail stick, to loosen food particles in the spray arms' jets.

Currys Essentials CDW45W10 - Spray Arms - 1

- Do not attempt to remove the spray arms.
