| Your dishwasher is a convenient and useful appliance. But it also contains several dangers —
e.g. hot water and powerful detergent — and should therefore be treated with respect and
caution. Our approach to safety includes a comprehensive form of protection against water
leakage:
PERMASAFE WATER SAFETY SYSTEM
The PermaSafe system contains several parts acting in
conjunction with each other:
SAFETY ZONE. All the water is within the all-
embracing safety zone, which consists of the stainless
steel cabinet, the electrogalvanised steel base plate and
the flexible PEX connection pipe.
PEX CONNECTION PIPE. This is so strong and
resistant that it can be regarded as part of the permanent
plumbing system. It retains its useful properties for at
least 20 years. N.B. The PEX pipe is supplied in one
piece with no joints, and must not be cut or joined on
installation.
LEAKAGE SENSOR. As additional protection there is
a moisture sensor at the very bottom on the baseplate.
It is a dry, compressed sponge which expands if it
becomes damp, operating a switch via a spring-loaded
arm. This closes the inlet valve and causes the drain
pump to empty the machine. All the indicator lights on
the control panel then go out. The drain pump
continues operating until the main switch is turned off.
OVERFILL PROTECTION. A level sensor inside the
machine ensures that the correct amount of water is let
in. If the level guard detects that the water level is too
high, it activates the same procedure as described above
- the inlet valve closes and the machine is drained.
SELE-CLEANING PUMP. The drain pump
automatically changes direction if it becomes blocked.
