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.
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. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.
