Salt container Special salts are used as a water softening agent in dishwashers Salt container The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic salt release system. The salt container needs to be filled with regenerating salts specially developed for dishwashers. Small grained or powdered salt is recommended. Do not use table salt or edible salt as these contain insoluble substances. S AL Z TU Z T SEL The dishwasher requires lime free water for optimum operation.
Detergent Only use detergents specifically intended for dishwashers Adding detergent The detergent and rinse aid dispensers are on the inside of the door. If the dishwasher is considerably full and the dishes are relatively dirty, fill the main container ( A ) up to the 25cm³ level. If the dishwasher is not quite full and the dishes are only slightly soiled, fill the main container ( A ) to the 15cm³ level.
Rinse aid Only use rinse aid specifically intended for dishwashers Rinse aid prevents water and calcium streaking on dishes and speeds up the drying process. It is advisable therefore to always ensure that there is an adequate amount of rinse aid in the dispenser. You can adjust the amount of rinse aid released during a programme by turning the dispenser regulator ( C ) The regulator level may be set between 1 (minimum) and 6 (maximum).
Loading The dishwasher has a twelve place setting capacity There are three separate baskets in the dishwasher. 1 The upper basket is used for cups, saucers, glasses and smaller dishes. The upper basket has glass holders which may be lifted and then folded to accommodate larger items. 2 Glass Support (depending on the model) When placing the glasses or goblets with a long grip, lean them against the glass support, the edge of the basket or the shelf but not against the other pieces.
Loading The upper basket has a height adjustment facility. The basket may be lowered to facilitate the loading of larger items. The adjustment method varies from model to model and you should check which method is pertinent to your machine. Defy Dishmaid Release the latches on both the right and left tracks by opening them sideways. Roll the basket forwards to remove it. Position the basket so that the upper set of rollers engages in the tracks and close the latches.
Cleaning Always disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply before cleaning it Cleaning the cabinet Wipe up any detergent, softener and other spills as they occur with a soft damp cloth. Periodically clean the cabinet, the inside of the door and door gasket with a damp warm soapy cloth, rinse and dry. Do not use abrasive or corrosive substances. Cleaning the filters To ensure optimum performance, the filters should be cleaned regularly.
