After this you should set the water softener level.
o Open the door of the dishwasher and remove the basket. The basket should be empty when you remove it. o Turn the water softener cap anticlockwise and remove it (1). o Pour 1 litre of water into the water softener. IMPORTANT: It is only necessary to do this when you fill the container with salt for the first time. o Ensure that the supplied funnel is positioned correctly. o Pour salt into the water softener, you should add approximately 1 kg of salt into the water softener (2).
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 container is located on the inside of the dishwasher door next to the detergent dispenser. o To access the rinse aid dispenser, you should turn and remove the cap to reveal the spout (1).
Setting the rinse aid level The amount of rinse aid that the dishwasher requires also depends on the hardness of your water. You should experiment with the rinse aid setting, until you find a level that gives the best results. o Use the dial, located on the rinse aid dispenser, to set the level. o You should always start with the dispenser set on level 4. If you find spots on your dishes or the drying results are poor, increase the amount of rinse aid by rotating the dial to level 5.
A = Main wash cycle detergent B = Pre-wash cycle detergent o Close the lid and press gently until it locks into place. Concentrated detergent o The use of the NORMAL washing program, in conjunction with concentrated detergents, reduces pollution and is good for your dishes. o This wash program is specifically matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent.
