Disposing of Your Old Dishwasher

Old dishwashers still have some residual value. An environmentally friendly method of disposal will make sure that valuable raw materials can be recovered and used again.

When your dishwasher has reached the end of its working life unplug it from the mains. Cut off the mains cable and dispose of it together with the plug.

Destroy the door locking mechanism so that children and pets cannot accidentally lock themselves in.

If the dishes are not drying properly or are spotted, increase the level. If blue stains form on your dishes, decrease the level.

Using combined detergents
These products should be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Never put combined detergents into the interior section or the cutlery basket.
Combined detergents contain not only the detergent but also rinse-aid, salt replacement substances and additional components depending on the combination.
We recommend you do not use combined detergents in short programmes. Please use powder detergents in such programmes.
If you encounter problems when using combined detergents, please contact the detergent manufacturer.
When you stop using combined detergents, make sure that water hardness and rinse aid settings are set to correct level.

Loading your dishwasher
For best results, follow these loading guidelines.
Loading the household dishwasher up to the capacity indicated by the manufacturer will contribute to energy and water savings.
Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy consumption and is not recommended. You can place cups, glasses, stemware, small plates, bowls, etc. in the upper basket.
Do not lean long glasses against one another as they may become damaged.
When placing long stem glasses and goblets, lean them against the basket edge or rack and not against other items.
Place all containers such as cups, glasses and pots in the dishwasher with the opening facing downwards otherwise water can collect on items.
If there is a cutlery basket, you are recommended to use the cutlery grid in order to obtain the best result.
Place all large (pots, pans, lids, plates, bowls etc.) and very dirty items in the lower rack.
Dishes and cutlery should not be placed above each other.
n WARNING: Take care not to obstruct the rotation of spray arms.
n WARNING: Make sure after loading the dishes do not prevent opening the detergent dispenser.

Upper Basket
Height adjustment

Fig. 5.2
a

Cleaning your dishwasher is important to maintain the machine’s service life Make sure that the water softening setting (If available) is done correctly and correct amount of detergent is used to prevent limescale accumulation. Refill the salt compartment when the salt sensor light comes on.
Oil and lime may build up in your Dishwasher over time. If this occurs:
· Fill the detergent compartment but do not load any dishes. Select a programme which runs at high temperature and run the Dishwasher empty. If this does not clean your Dishwasher sufficiently, use a cleaning agent designed for use with dishwashers.
· To extend the life of your dishwasher, clean the appliance regularly; once a month.
· Wipe the door seals regularly with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated residue.

7. Installation

· DocNo.800-0503 – Installation – RDW459 dishwasher

This dishwasher is for use in GB and IE only. After sales service applies to GB and IE only.

Fig. 7.1

Positioning the Dishwasher
Read all warnings located on the packaging before removing the packaging and positioning the machine.
n Do not install the dishwasher in a room where the temperature is likely to fall below freezing (0 °C).
n Do not grip the door when moving the dishwasher.
When positioning the machine, place it in an area where dishes can be easily loaded and unloaded.
The dishwasher should be aligned to the front of the adjacent cabinets, with allowance made for the door thickness. Place the machine close to a water tap and drain. Take into consideration that the connections will not be altered once the machine is in position.
Before installing the dishwasher into a kitchen cabinet, holes must not be drilled into the sides, or door, to avoid compromising the performance and operation of the dishwasher.
A plastic self-adhesive anti-condensation strip is supplied with the dishwasher. Fix the strip to the underside of the worktop, along the front edge (Fig. 7.1).
Connect up the cold water supply, the drain hose and the electrical connections (see below) then slide the dishwasher into the cabinet opening.
Leave an adequate distance around the machine to allow ease of movement when cleaning.
n Ensure the water inlet and outlet hoses are not squeezed or trapped and that the machine does not stand on the electrical cable while positioning.
Adjust the feet so the machine is level and balanced. The machine should be placed on flat ground otherwise it will be unstable and the door of the machine will not close properly.

Fig. 7.2
Note printing on the water inlet hose! If models are marked with 25° the water temperature may be max. 25 °C (cold water). For all other models: Cold water preferred; hot water max. temperature 60 °C.

Water connection (Fig. 7.2)
We recommend fitting a filter to your water inlet supply in order to prevent damage to your machine due to contamination (sand, rust, etc.) from indoor plumbing. This will also help prevent yellowing and deposit formation after washing.

Water inlet hose
n WARNING: Use the new water inlet hose supplied with your machine, do not use an old machine’s hose.
n WARNING: Run water through the new hose before connecting.

Fig. 7.3 Fig. 7.4

n WARNING: Connect the hose directly to the water inlet tap. The pressure supplied by the tap should be a minimum of 0.03 MPa and a maximum of 1 MPa. If the pressure exceeds 1 MPa, a pressure relief valve must be fitted between the connection.
n WARNING: After the connections are made, turn the tap on fully and check for water leaks. Always turn off the water inlet tap after a wash program has finished (Fig. 7.3).
n An Aquastop water spout is available with some models. Do not damage it or allow it to become kinked or twisted.
Drain Hose Connection
Connect the water drain hose directly to water drain hole or to the sink outlet spigot. This connection should be minimum 50 cm and maximum 110 cm from floor plane (Fig. 7.4).
n IMPORTANT: Items will not wash properly if a drain hose longer than 4m is used.
Electrical connection
n WARNING: Your machine is set to operate at 220-240 V. If the mains voltage supply to your machine is 110 V, connect a transformer of 110/220 V and 3000 W between the electrical connection.
n The earthed plug of the machine must be connected to an earthed outlet supplied by suitable voltage and current.
n In the absence of earthing installation, an authorised electrician should carry out an earthing installation. In the case of use without earthing installed, we will not be responsible for any loss of use that may occur.
n The indoor fuse current value should be 10-16 A. n The plug on this appliance may incorporate a 13A
fuse depending on the target country (for example UK, Saudi Arabia).
