Installation instructions Water inlet connections The dishwashers all have a single valve water connections. We recommend a cold water connection to give the best wash performance and energy efficiency. Important! The appliance should be connected to the water main using a new hose set. Old hose sets should not be used.

If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace the whole cable, rather than using adaptors as they could cause overheating and burns. Important! The dishwasher plug must be accessible even when the appliance is installed as a built-in unit so that maintenance can be done safely.

Caring for your dinnerware The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage to some items if they are washed in your dishwasher. Remember, if in doubt about any items to be washed in the dishwasher, follow the instructions from the manufacturer of the items, or wash them by hand.
This dishwasher is tested to AS/NZS 2007 standards for both wash and dry performance. The following are loading pattern diagrams, detergent quantities and rinse aid quantities used for the dishwasher. Wash programme Detergent quantities Rinse aid setting Maximum place setting Recommended loading pattern - The height-adjustable top basket must be in the uppermost position.
Loading Take care when loading dishes to ensure that there is enough space and room for the water to reach all areas, particularly the cup racks. If there are any items blocking the spray arms’ paths or the wash water, then the performance will be ineffective. Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger food particles to prevent the filter from becoming clogged.

Loading How to load the upper rack The upper rack is designed to hold items like glasses, cups, saucers, plates, small bowls and shallow pans. Position these items so that they cannot be moved during the wash. Upper rack adjustment for models DW60CSW1 and DW60CSX1 The upper rack can be adjusted for height by using the rollers located on both sides of the rack (see below).
Detergent Important! Never sprinkle or pour detergent directly onto any item in the dishwasher. Hand washing liquids, soap, laundry detergents or disinfectants will damage your dishwasher. Filling the detergent dispenser Press the button on the top of the dispenser to open the cover. Pour the detergent for the wash cycle into the larger main detergent compartment.
We highly recommend the regular use of liquid rinse aid to give the best drying results. Rinse aid gives a streak-free, sparkling clean look to glass and chinaware. In addition it prevents metal from tarnishing. The rinse aid dispenser is located on the inside panel of the door. Filling the rinse aid dispenser Open the dispenser by turning the cap in an anticlockwise direction.
Care and cleaning After each wash, turn off the water supply to the dishwasher and leave the door ajar 30°, so that moisture and odours are not trapped inside. Important! The door should not be left in the fully open position as this could present a tripping hazard. Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the power plug from the wall socket.
