After this you should set the water softener level.
Filling with dishwasher salt IMPORTANT: You should only use salt that is specially designed for use in a dishwasher. If any other type of salt is used in the appliance (in particular table salt), it will damage the water softener. o Ideally you should fill the water softener with salt, just before you are about to run a wash program. This will help to clear any salt that may have overflowed from the water softener during the salt filling process.
o IMPORTANT: You do not need to pour 1 litre of water into the container when you subsequently fill the water softener with salt. Setting the water softener level It is possible to regulate the amount of salt that the water softener will release during a wash cycle. The water softener should be set to a level that is appropriate for the hardness of your water (please refer to the table below).
Filling with rinse aid The rinse aid is released during the final rinse and it helps to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes. These droplets will lead to spots and streaks being left on items after the wash program has completed. o Your dishwasher is designed to utilise liquid rinse aid. o The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the drop down door, next to the detergent dispenser. o To access the rinse aid dispenser, you should turn the cap anticlockwise and it will pop out of the hole.
o You should continue to adjust the rinse aid level upwards until you get no water spots. o If you get cloudiness or streaking on your dishes, the rinse aid level is set too high and it is causing foaming during the wash cycle. Turn the arrow clockwise and lower the setting to the next number. Filling with dishwasher detergent The detergent dispenser must be refilled at the start of each wash cycle (apart from the Rinse wash program).
Loading the upper basket The upper basket is most suited to washing delicate and light dishware, such as glasses, coffee & tea cups, saucers, plates, bowls and shallow pans (that are not heavily soiled). 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Cups Small serving bowl Large serving bowl Glasses Saucers Dish Dessert dishes o You should position the dishes and cookware in such a way that they are not moved by the spray of water during the wash cycle.
Adjusting the upper basket Your dishwasher has an adjustable upper basket which you can alter to the most suitable position for the items you are going to wash in the upper basket. The height of the upper basket can be adjusted by pulling the handle on either side of the basket upwards until it clips into place. Position 1 (upper position) o For accommodating items such as glass tumblers and wine glasses.
With upper basket raised With upper basket lowered Maximum height of dishes (upper basket) 19 cm Maximum height of dishes (lower basket) 30 cm 24 cm 25 cm IMPORTANT: Care should be taken to make sure that the spray arms can move freely when items have been loaded into the baskets. Loading the lower basket The lower basket is most suited to washing larger and more heavily soiled items, such as saucepans, saucepan lids and serving dishes.
The cutlery basket Cutlery should be placed inside of the cutlery basket. The cutlery basket should then be placed in the appropriate position in the lower basket. o For the best washing performance, cutlery should be placed through the slots in the top of the cutlery basket. o For ease of loading, it is possible to split apart the outer section of the cutlery basket.
Loading dishes and cutlery Household cloths, sponges or any other object that may absorb water SHOULD NOT be washed in a dishwasher. o Remove leftovers and soften the remnants of burnt food in pans, prior to loading dishes in the appliance. o Once the dishwasher has been loaded, check that the spray arms can move freely. If the spray arm comes into contact with any item, then you should rearrange the wash load.
The following items are NOT suitable for washing inside a dishwasher:o Cutlery with a handle of mother-of-pearl, wood, horn or china. o Plastic items that are not resistant to heat. o Cutlery that consists of glued parts that are not resistant to heat. o Cutlery items or crockery that are bonded. o Copper or pewter items. o Lead crystal glass. o Wooden platters. o Synthetic fibre items.

When this wash program is used, a sensor will detect the amount of soiling contained in the water and make adjustments to the wash program. These adjustments will depend on whether the items are lightly soiled or heavily soiled.
The Alt. button (half load option) The Alt. button allows you to get one of the spray arms to run on its own, meaning that you can choose to only wash items in the top basket or only wash items in the bottom basket.
