INSTALLATION

All Kingfisher Deluxe glass washers & dishwashers are supplied with the following:

1. 3 pin 13amp UK Plug (Pre-Installed)
2. Drain Hose (Pre-Installed)
3. Water Inlet Hose (Not Installed)
4. Detergent Intake Pipe (Pre-Installed)
5. Rinse Aid Intake Pipe (Pre-Installed)
6. Baskets (3)
7. Feet (4)

IMPORTANT

Please take care when unpacking the unit as the feet do not come preinstalled. Ensure these are installed on to the unit BEFORE moving to the location you are installing to. Once in place ensure unit is level, left to right, front to back as if not this can affect the running of the machine.

Connecting the Water Supply

The mains water hose will be supplied with the unit and located in the wash tank (Seen when retrieving the feet in the previous step). Connect one end of the hose to the Inlet valve on the unit, ensure to NOT cross thread when screwing on to the unit. Once it has been connected tightly connect the other end of the hose to your mains water supply or water softener where applicable.

Please Note : medium to hard water areas must be connected to a water softener. Failure to do so could damage your machine, cause poor wash results and invalidate your warranty. Scan the QR code to find out more about water quality in your area.

Connecting The Waste Outlet

The grey ribbed waste hose will need to be connected to your waste outlet.
All Kingfisher deluxe machines are fitted as standard with a drain pump. However, you must ensure the waste outlet is not higher than three quarters of the hight of the unit as this will prevent the pump from operating correctly. Using an upstand is preferred, as a spigot will reduce the flow rate and may result in dirty water flowing back into the unit.

Connecting To Electrical Supply

All machines, unless otherwise specified, are 13amp 3 pin Plug. Ensure the unit is connected to a dedicated socket with no other items that use an element on the ring.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION LEAD OR DOUBLE PLUG.

Connecting To Chemicals

All units will come supplied with automatic chemical dosing pumps fitted internally to the machine. The pickup for these are the two pipes at the rear of the machine.

CLEAR : for glass wash or dishwash detergent
GREEN or BLUE : for rinse aid

RECOMMENDED CHEMICALS

Wash results and machine longevity can be highly dependant on the quality of chemicals used. Kingfisher has been tested with and always recommends the use of EntirePro.

Please Note : If the unit has 2 clear pipes fitted, there will stickers to indicate which pipe is used for which stuck to the back of the machine where the pipe exits.

It is always advisable to make a small hole in the lid of the chemicals and feed the tube through, you will need to remove the weight and filter before doing so, re attach this when the tube has gone through the lid, screwing the lid back on to the chemical bottle. Ensure the chemical dosing tube has been fed through, so it is at the bottom of the bottle. This is to prevent Oxidisation of the chemicals and provide a longer shelf life.

First Use

1. Ensure the power is on at the socket, the power light on the front unit will illuminate
2. Make sure that the Water valve has been turned on/Water softener is open to the machine
3. You are now ready to begin using the unit.
4. Turn overleaf for operating instructions.

OPERATION

Control Panel Overview

Filling the machine

1. Using the Black Dial on the right hand side. Turn to position 1.
   

2. The unit will then fill with water, after a short while this will stop at the required level and automatically start to heat the boiler and tank. This will take between 45-60 mins.
   The chemicals will have already dispensed via the internal pumps. Do not add any additional chemicals to the wash tank: such as washing up liquid or extra detergent/rinse aid.

3. When both tanks are heated to their correct temperatures, the temperature indicator will illuminate to confirm the machine is ready to use. Do not wash until it is fully heated.

Starting a wash cycle

1. Ensure that all items receive a pre rinse before going through the wash cycle. This is to ensure no grease/grime or excess food stuff goes into the wash tank.

2. Place the items in the basket ensuring there is nothing poking through the holes in the basket that may interfere with the bottom wash/rinse arm rotation.

3. Close the door and turn the Black Dial to Position 2, 3 or 4 for your preferred wash cycle.
   

4. The unit will perform the wash cycle and then a small rinse cycle.

5. Open the door and remove the tray, closing the door to ensure there is minimal loss of heat DO NOT PUT THE TRAY ON TOP TO DRIP DRY as this can cause electrical problems.

Draining and end of day cleaning

1. When the machine requires to be emptied, generally at the end of the day, remove the tray and release the overflow ensuring the filter remains in place until all water has drained.

2. Turn the black dial to position 5.
   

3. The drain pump will start and water will begin to empty from the tank going through the drain pipe to your external waste pipe. It may be necessary to perform this procedure more than once should there is residual left over.

Maintenance

General Tips

Drain & replenish the water in the water tank at least once a day. You may need to do this more regularly if it becomes dirty during operation.
Before putting dishes into the appliance, we advise that you prewash them by rinsing with cold or warm water over a sink. This helps to remove any residual food debris.
Do not pre-wash with soaps or washing up liquid as residual can contaminate the wash water inside the tank.

Daily Cleaning & Maintenance

Always turn off the appliance and disconnect the power supply for cleaning.
Drain dirty wash water by removing the plug and utilising the drain pump.
Remove and clean the tank filters by washing and rinsing them in the sink. This helps to prevent debris build up and ensure efficient cleaning.
Clean the wash chamber with a hot soapy water solution, before rinsing and then drying with a clean cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning chemicals.
Wipe down external surfaces with a damp cloth and mild cleaning solution. Do not clean the control panel by spraying water directly, otherwise this can cause damage to the electrical components.
Check detergent levels to ensure that the machine is not operated without appropriate supply of detergent and rinse aid.

Weekly Maintenance

Check and replenish your water softener to ensure optimal water quality. We recommend this is done weekly, but frequency may be increased if you notice limescale build up inside the washing chamber.
Inspect and clean washer jets by unscrewing the wash arms and nozzles and flushing through with clean water. If they are blocked with limescale, soak in a descaler solution to clean.

Monthly Maintenance

Descale the dishwasher. Let the machine fill up and heat then add an appropriate dilution of catering descaler solution. Leave for 5 minutes then run 3 wash cycles without anything in the machine. Once complete, drain down and flush with fresh water to remove any residue.

Front Service Panel

Commonly configurations can easily be changed by the user underneath the front service panel.
This can be removed by unscrewing the two screws located at the bottom front of the machine.
