•
The plastic housing on the water inlet pipe contains an electrically operated valve. The wires that connect to this valve
are inside the inlet hose. Do not cut through the inlet hose, and do not put the plastic housing in water.
Children could get locked inside the appliance. Therefore when disposing of an old appliance, cut off the plug and set
aside, and damage the door lock so that the door can no longer be closed.
Recommendations
•
•
•
•
To reduce energy and water consumption, remove all dirt residues from the dishes prior to loading the dishwasher.
Only run the dishwasher when fully loaded.
Place hollow items (bowls, glasses and pans) face down in the basket.
Do not put dishes or cutlery with tobacco ash, wax, lubricating grease or paint residues in the dishwasher.
Before First Use
•
•
•
•
•

Add 2kg of salt into the salt compartment and then fill with water to the top of the salt compartment.
Remove all the packaging materials from the interior of the dishwasher.

Press the Programme Selection button until the required programme light is illuminated.
When you close the door, the dishwasher will beep once and the programme will start automatically.
The Delay Timer
This dishwasher is equipped with a variable delay timer which can be set for 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 hours’ duration.
•
To set the delay timer, first switch the dishwasher on by pressing the power button. Then press the delay timer button.
The delay timer will switch on and the selected delay timer indicator will illuminate.
To change the duration, press the delay timer button again until the required time is shown on the indicators as

•
•
•
Once the delay timer is set, then select the programme as described above.
To cancel the delay timer before the programme has begun, press the delay timer button repeatedly until all the
indicator lights go out.
Quick wash function
This dishwasher is equipped with a function that reduces the duration of the wash, minimising water and energy
consumption.
•
•
To set the quick wash function, select a programme as described above and then press the quick wash button so the
quick wash indicator light is illuminated.
To cancel the quick wash function before the programme has begun, press the quick wash button and the quick wash
indicator light will go out.
Cancelling or Changing a programme
If possible do not open the dishwasher door once the programme has started.
If it is necessary to cancel or change a programme once it has started, follow the steps below:
•
•
•
First open the door slightly to reduce the risk of water spillage.
Press the Programme Selection button for approximately three seconds until the Programme Indicators go out.
Close the dishwasher door to allow the dishwasher to run a drain cycle.
Once the drain cycle is complete, the dishwasher can now be set to a new programme if necessary.
Please note: If the cancelled programme has already used the detergent and drained the wash water, the
detergent dispenser must be refilled.
At the End of a Programme
When the dishwasher programme is complete, the dishwasher will beep six times and the Programme Indicators will go
out. Open the dishwasher door.
•
•
Press the Power button to switch off the dishwasher.
Turn off the water tap and remove the plug from the power socket.
Please note: The dishwasher will automatically continue on the programme it has started if the door is
opened or in the event of a power cut.

Detergent
To fill the detergent dispenser
1. Push the latch to open the dispenser.
2. Add the required amount of detergent to the main detergent dispenser.
If your dishes are in need of an intensive wash, then add 5 cm3 of
detergent into the prewash section of the dispenser.
3. Then close the detergent dispenser lid until the latch locks.
Please note: You should only use detergents designed specifically for
use in dishwashers.
fig. 1
Combination detergents (e.g. 3-in-1 tablets) must not be used in any
quick wash programme.
If using dishwasher tablets, always use the detergent compartment, do not put
them in the main body of the dishwasher or in the cutlery basket. The solubility
of dishwasher tablets can vary depending on the temperature and duration of
the programme. As a result, it is recommended that powder detergents should
be used in the shorter programmes to allow better performance.
CDA recommends the use of separate detergent, rinse aid and dishwasher salt
rather than combination tablets as separates achieve better wash performance.
fig. 2
If you do use combination detergents, add salt and rinse aid to the dishwasher
and then adjust the water hardness setting and rinse aid setting to the
minimum. When you then use separate detergents again, you should fill the
salt and rinse aid compartments, adjust the water hardness setting to the
maximum and run an empty wash, then adjust the water hardness setting and
the rinse aid setting to the appropriate level.
Salt
To ensure the best efficiency, the dishwasher needs soft water. Hard water
means that lime residues remain on the dishes and the interior of the
dishwasher, affecting performance. The softener system is designed to
remove the ions that make the water hard to provide the best quality wash
performance. This is achieved by using dishwasher salt.
fig. 3
To add dishwasher salt, follow the steps below:
1. Remove the lower dishwasher basket and then unscrew the salt
compartment cap.
2. Fill the compartment with dishwasher salt (do not use table salt), carefully
to prevent unnecessary spillage. Before first use, you should fill the
compartment with 2kg of dishwasher salt and then fill up the salt
compartment with water (up to the brim of the compartment) as shown
in figure 3.
3. Replace the cap and the lower basket.
When the salt warning light on the control panel illuminates, you should
refill the salt compartment with salt only – do not add water to the salt
compartment after the first use.
You should run a programme immediately after adding dishwasher
salt, to prevent any damage to the dishwasher systems.
4
Softener Adjustment
The efficiency of your dishwasher depends on the softness of the tap water.
To ensure best efficiency, the dishwasher is equipped with a system that
reduces the hardness in the mains water supply. The efficiency will increase
when the system is correctly set. To find out the water harness level of your
water supply contact your local water board.
To set the softener adjustment system unscrew the cap from the salt container
and rotate the ring indicated in figure 4 according to the table below.

as shown in figure 6 (where “a” indicates the compartment is empty, and

Rinse Aid Adjustment
The level of rinse aid use is preset to 3. You can adjust the level of rinse aid
use by adjusting as shown in figure 7.
If water stains form on the dishes after a wash, the level should be increased.
If blue stains which can be wiped away are left on the dishes after a wash, the
level should be decreased.
Please note: Rinse aid ensures better quality wash results and
increased drying performance.
