USING YOUR DISHWASHER

Before using your dishwasher :

1. Loading the basket
2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser (Please check Part 2 Section 1)
3. Fill detergent dispenser (Please check Part 2 Section 1)

Basket Use Tips

Adjusting the upper basket
The height of the upper basket can be easily adjusted to accommodate taller dishes in either the upper or lower basket.
To adjust the height of the upper rack, follow these steps:

To raise the rack to the upper position, lift rack until both sides are at the same height. The rack will click into place.| To lower the rack, push down on the handle and release.

Folding back the cup shelves
To make room for taller items in the dishwasher basket, raise the cup rack upwards.
You can then lean the tall glasses against it. You can also remove it when it is not required for use.

Folding back the rack shelves
The spikes are used for holding plates. They can be lowered to make more room for large items.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

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 before the door is closed.

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

WARNING
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.

Internal Care

Filtering system
The filtering system in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse debris from the washing cycle. The collected coarse debris may cause the filters to clog. Check the condition of the filters regularly and clean them if necessary under running water.
Follow the steps below to clean the filters in the wash cabinet.

Hold the coarse filter and rotate it anticlockwise to unlock the filter.
Lift the filter upwards and out of the dishwasher.| The fine filter can be pulled off the bottom of the filter assembly.
The coarse filter can be detached from the main filter by gently squeezing the tabs at the top and pulling it away.
Larger food remnants can be cleaned by rinsing the filter under running water.
For a more thorough clean, use a soft cleaning brush.| Reassemble the filters in the reverse order of disassembly, replace the filter  insert, and rotate clockwise to the close arrow.

WARNING

• Do not over tighten the filters. Put the filters back in sequence securely, otherwise coarse debris could get into the system and cause a blockage.
• 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
It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly for hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings.
To clean the spray arms, follow the instructions below:

To remove the upper spray arm, hold the nut in the centre still and rotate the spray arm counterclockwise to remove it.| To remove the lower spray arm, pull out the spray arm upward.
Wash the arms in soapy and warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing them thoroughly.

Caring For The Dishwasher

Frost precaution
Please take frost protection precautions for the dishwasher in winter, especially if the ambient temperature is likely to be below 0’C. After every washing cycle, please operate as follows:

1. Cut off the electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3. Drain the water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to gather the water)
4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
5. Remove the filter at the bottom of the tub and use a sponge to soak up water in the sump.

After every wash
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly open so that moisture and odors 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 and a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
When not in use for an extended period
It is recommended 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 to last longer and prevent odors from forming within the appliance.
Seals
One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.
Moving the appliance
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION

NOTE: Before making preparations for commencing installation, the installer should refer to the current online version of the User Manual, which is available on the Kleenmaid website (see back cover for details).

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect electrical power before installing dishwasher.
Failure to do so could result in death or electrical shock.
Attention
The installation of the pipes and electrical equipment should be done by professionals.
WARNING: IT MUST BE ENSURED THAT THIS APPLIANCE IS CONNECTED ONLY TO A 230VAC +10%/-6% 50HZ MAINS POWER SUPPLY WHICH CONTINUOUSLY COMPLIES WITH THE RELEVANT AUSTRALIAN STANDARD. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE APPLIANCE  AND ANY SUCH DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY.

About Power Connection

WARNING
For personal safety:
Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug with this appliance.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the earthing connection from the power cord.

Electrical requirements
Please look at the rating label to know the rating voltage and connect the dishwasher to the appropriate power supply. Use the required fuse (10A/13A/16A), time delay fuse  or circuit breaker recommended and provide a separate circuit.
Electrical connection
Ensure the voltage and frequency of the power supply corresponds to those on the rating plate. Only insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthed properly. If the  electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug , replace the socket, rather than using adaptors or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.
Before use ensure the appliance is correctly earthed.

Water Supply And Drain

Cold water connection
Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (inch) connector and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place.
If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is clear.
This precaution is needed to avoid the risk of the water inlet becoming blocked and damaging the appliance.

About the safety supply hose
The safety supply hose has double walls. The hose’s system guarantees its intervention to block the flow of water in case of the supply hose breaking and when the air space  between the supply hose itself and the outer corrugated hose is full of water.
NOTE: Supply hose length is 1.97m.

WARNING
A hose that attaches to a sink spray can burst if it is installed on the same water line as the dishwasher. If your sink has one, it is recommended that the hose be disconnected and the hole plugged.

How to connect the safety supply hose

1. Pull the safety supply hose completely out from storage compartment located at rear of dishwasher.
2. Tightly screw the safety supply hose to a tap with 3/4 inch thread.
3. Turn water fully on before starting the dishwasher.

How to disconnect the safety supply hose

1. Turn off the water.
2. Unscrew the safety supply hose from the tap.

Connection Of Drain Hoses

Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 40mm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. The height of the drain  pipe must be less than 1000mm. The free end of the hose must not be immersed in water to avoid back flow.
NOTE: The drain hose length is 1.874m.
Please securely fix the drain hose in either position A or position B

How to drain excess water from hoses
If the sink is higher than 1000mm from the floor, the excess water in hoses cannot be drained directly into the sink. It will be necessary to drain excess water from hoses into  a bowl or suitable container that is held outside and lower than the sink.
Water outlet
Connect the water drain hose. The drain hose must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks. Ensure that the water drain hose is not kinked or squashed.
Extension hose
If you need a drain hose extension, make sure to use a similar drain hose.
It must be no longer than 4000mm; otherwise the cleaning effect of the dishwasher could be reduced.
Syphon connection
The waste connection must be at a height less than 1000mm (maximum) from the bottom of the dishwasher. The water drain hose should be fixed .

Position The Appliance

Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or walls. The dishwasher is equipped  with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned either to the right or the left sides to facilitate proper installation.
Levelling the appliance
Once the appliance is positioned for levelling, the height of the dishwasher may be altered by adjusting the level of the screw in feet.
The appliance should not be inclined more than 2°.

Fitting Between Existing Cabinets

The height of the dishwasher, 845 mm, has been designed in order to allow the machine to be fitted between existing cabinets of the same height in modern fitted kitchens.  The feet can be adjusted so that the correct height is reached.
The laminated top of the machine does not require any particular care since it is heat, scratch and stain resistant.

Fitting Under Existing Worktop
If the dishwasher is to be fitted under a permanent work top remove the top cover of the dishwasher by unscrewing the screws under the rear edge of the top (a).
After removing the top cover, the screws MUST BE screwed in again under the rear edge of the top (b). The minimum height is reduced from 845 mm to 815 mm, and the  dishwasher will fit under a standard height kitchen work top.

Attention

1. The height of the dishwasher under the benchtop may also be adjusted by screwing the adjustable feet in either direction.
2. The maximum adjustable leg extension height used for determining the maximum height of free-standing/built-under models is 25mm. See height range in the table below.
   Worktop Installed| Worktop not installed
   ---|---
   Min Height| Max Height| Min Height| Max Height
   845 mm| 870 mm| Max Height| 840 mm
3. If the dishwasher is installed at the corner of the cabinet, allow sufficient space for the door to open freely.

NOTE:
Depending on where your electrical outlet is, you may need to cut a hole in the cabinet side.

Tension adjustment of the door spring

1. The door springs are set at the factory to the proper tension and should not need adjustment.
2. Door spring tension is correct when the door remains horizontal in the fully opened position, yet rises to a close with the slight lift of a finger.
3. If necessary adjust the tension of the door springs by using an Allen key, turning in a clockwise motion to tighten the left and right door springs.

Preparing And Loading Dishes

Consider buying utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof.
For particular items, select a program with the lowest possible temperature.
To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately after the program has ended.

For washing the following cutlery/dishes dishwashers:-
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 which are not temperature resistant
• Bonded cutlery items or dishes
• Pewter or copper items
• Crystal glass
• Steel items subject to rusting
• Wooden platters
• Items made from synthetic fibres

Are of limited suitability:

• Some types of glasses can become dull after a large number of washes
• Silver and aluminum parts have a tendency to discolour during washing
• Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently

Recommendations for loading the dishwasher
Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water.
To obtain the best performance from the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines.

Place objects in the dishwasher in the following way:

• Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded aslant so that water can run off.
• All utensils are stacked securely and cannot tip over.
• All utensils are placed so that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.
• Check before starting dishwasher.
• Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc with the opening facing downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
• Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other. To avoid damage, glasses should not touch one another.
• The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups.
• Long bladed knives loaded in an upright position are a potential hazard!
• Long and / or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.
• Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and for reasonable consumption of energy.

NOTE:
Very small or light items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the basket.
Removing the dishes
To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower basket, we recommend that you empty the lower basket first, followed by the upper basket.

WARNING
Items will be hot! To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher until 15 minutes after the program has ended.

Loading the upper basket
The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as  long as they are not too dirty). Position the dishes and cookware so that they will not be moved by the spray of water.

Loading the lower basket
We suggest that large items and the most difficult to clean items be placed into the lower basket: such as pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure below. It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm. The maximum diameter advised for  plates placed in front of the detergent dispenser is 19 cm, so as not to hamper its opening.

Loading the cutlery basket
Cutlery items should be placed in the cutlery basket separately from each other in the appropriate positions. Make sure the utensils do not nest together as this may affect optimum performance.

WARNING
Do not let any item extend through the bottom.
Always load sharp utensils with the sharp point down!
Please refer to Part 1 Section 07 for further information on loading the baskets.

Function Of The Rinse Aid And Detergent
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to roll off the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids.
WARNING
Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. 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 aid dispenser
Unless the rinse-aid warning light ( ) on the control panel is on, you can always estimate the amount from the color of the optical level indicator located next to the cap. When the rinse-aid container is full, the indicator will be fully dark. The size of the dark dot decreases as the rinse-aid diminishes. You should never let the rinse aid level be less than 1/4 full.
As the rinse aid level diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below.

Function of detergent
The chemical ingredients that compose the detergent are necessary to remove, crush and dispense all dirt out of the dishwasher. Most commercially available quality  dishwasher detergents are suitable for this purpose.

WARNING
Proper Use of Detergent
Use only detergent specifically made for dishwashers use. Keep your detergent fresh and dry.
Don’t put powdered detergent into the dispenser until you are ready to wash dishes.
Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children.

Filling The Rinse Aid Reservoir

Remove the rinse aid reservoir capby turning it to Open icon (anticlockwise, see arrow).| Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill.
Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with Open icon and rotating it clockwise (right arrow).

NOTE:
Clean up any spilled rinse aid with an absorbent cloth to avoid excessive foaming during the next wash.

Adjusting the rinse aid reservoir

The rinse aid reservoir has six settings. The recommended setting, as set by the factory, is “4”. If the dishes are not drying properly or are  spotted, adjust the dial to the next highest number until your dishes are spot free.
Reduce it if there are sticky whitish stains on your dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

Filling The Detergent Dispenser

Press the release catch on the detergent dispenser to open the cover.| Add detergent into the larger cavity (A) for the main wash cycle .
For more heavily soiled wash loads, also add some detergent into the smaller cavity (B) for the pre-wash cycle .
Close the cover and press on it until it locks into place.

NOTE
Please observe the manufacturer’s recommendations on the detergent packaging
Please be aware that the amount of detergent required may vary according to the level of soiling and the specific hardness of the water.
