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 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, whilst you are filling it with salt. This does not mean that the water softener is filled with the correct amount of salt. 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.
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. The water softener arrow should be turned to the minus setting. 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 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 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.
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. Cups Small serving bowl Large serving bowl Glasses Saucers Dish 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. o Use the diagram above as a guide to the most appropriate way to load the upper basket.
Lower position o If the upper wheels are placed in the guide supports, then the basket is in the lower position. o For accommodating additional tumblers, cups and mugs. You can also place small, espresso sized cups on top of the side racks. You should take care to ensure that there is enough clearance between the top of the cups placed on top of the side racks and the underneath of the dishwasher interior.
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. You can also load bowls and a variety of plates into the lower basket. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
o For the best washing performance, cutlery should be placed through the slots in the top of the cutlery basket.
