Using your dishwasher Before first use o Install the appliance as per the installation instructions contained within this booklet. o Add 1.5Kg specialist dishwasher salt to the dishwasher water softener compartment and then fill with tap water. After this you should set the water softener level. o Fill the rinse aid dispenser and then set the rinse aid dosage. Filling with dishwasher salt IMPORTANT: You should only use salt that is specially designed for use in a dishwasher.
o It is perfectly normal for a small amount of water to come out of the water softener compartment. o Refit and fully tighten the water softener cap. o The salt required warning light will go out approximately 2-6 hours after you have filled the water softener with salt. When the salt indicator neon lights on the control panel in the future, you should follow the filling with dishwasher salt procedure again.
o IMPORTANT: If you are using 3 in 1 dishwasher tablets and live in a medium or hard water area, then you should still fill the water softener with salt. 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.
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 On the first wash cycle, we would recommend that the rinse aid level is set to number 4. o If you get water spots and poor drying performance, then you should turn the arrow anticlockwise and increase the setting to the next number.
o The left section displayed in the diagram (A) is for the main wash cycle detergent. Only one detergent tablet should be placed in the dispenser at any one time. If you are using detergent powder or liquid, you should follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations. o The right section displayed in the diagram (B) can have separate detergent placed in it for any wash cycle that has a pre-wash element to it, however this is optional.
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. o The height of the upper basket can be adjusted by removing the upper basket from the guide runners. o NOTE: you must remove the end caps from the runners before removing the basket. o IMPORTANT: The upper basket must be empty when you are removing it from the guide runners.
Upper position o If the lower wheels are placed in the guide runners, then the basket is in the upper position. o For accommodating items such as glass tumblers and wine glasses. Wine glasses should be placed upside down, so that the stem of the glass rests in one of the grooves on the side flap. o Please note that when the basket is in the upper position, you cannot have the side flaps in a raised position. Otherwise the basket will not slide back into the interior of the dishwasher.
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. You can also load bowls and a variety of plates into the lower basket. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Dinner plates Dessert dishes Side plates Serving bowl Oval serving plate o Saucepans and serving bowls must always be placed with their bases upwards. o Deep saucepans should be slanted, to allow water to run off.
