Using your dishwasher Before first use o Install the appliance as per the installation instructions contained within this booklet. o Fill the water softener with 1 litre of tap water and then fill with specialist dishwasher salt. After this you should set the water softener level. o Fill the rinse aid dispenser and then set the rinse aid doseage. Filling with dishwasher salt IMPORTANT: You should only use salt that is specially designed for use in a dishwasher.
o The salt required warning light will go out approximately 2-6 hours after you have filled the salt container with salt. When the salt required warning light comes on again, then you should follow the filling with dishwasher salt procedure again. 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.
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 aids. 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 Soak and Rinse wash programs).
o To access the rinse aid dispenser, you should turn the cap anticlockwise and it will pop out of the hole. o Turn the arrow clockwise until it moves past the number 1, this deactivates the rinse aid dispenser. o IMPORTANT: There is no need to put rinse aid or dishwasher salt in the appliance if you are using 3 in 1 detergent tablets. You must ONLY use the 3 in 1 wash program when using 3 in 1 tablets.
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.
IMPORTANT: Care should be taken to make sure that the spray arms can move freely when items have been loaded into the baskets. IMPORTANT: Care should be taken when placing long stemmed glassware, such as champagne glasses in the upper basket. If they are not positioned correctly, then there is a risk that they may topple over when the upper basket is pushed in our pulled out.
o For ease of loading, it is possible to split apart the outer section of the cutlery basket. However this outer section should not be placed individually into the cutlery basket, it should always be attached to the main basket. IMPORTANT: Do not allow items of cutlery to fall through the bottom of the cutlery basket, as this may cause damage to the spray arm and/or the cutlery. If the bottom of the basket begins to deteriorate and allows items to fall through, you should replace the cutlery basket.
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.

Coarse filter- Larger items such as pieces of bone or glass, which could clog the drain are trapped in this filter.

IMPORTANT: Whilst the filtering system is efficient, your dishwasher is not a waste disposal unit. All items being washed inside of the dishwasher, should have food scraps removed from them before being loaded into the appliance.
Cleaning the spray arms The spray arms should be cleaned regularly, to prevent hard water deposits from clogging the spray arm jets and bearings. o To remove the spray arm, unscrew the nut and take out the washer that sits on top of the spray arm. o Gently pull upwards to remove the spray arm. o Wash the spray arm in warm, soapy water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. o Rinse the spray arm thoroughly and then reassemble the spray arm back in its original position.
