Rinse conditioner dispenser (1)
Use of a rinse conditioner will result in cleaner and faster
drying of the load, since it helps water and soil to run off.
Too much conditioner may result in streakiness, too little
may cause white spots. The dispenser holds about 140 ml.
This is enough for 40-70 wash cycles, depending on the
dosage setting. When the rinse conditioner level is appro-
aching the bottom of the scale it is time to refill the dispenser.
Swivel out the filler trough and carefully fill up with rinse
conditioner until the level reaches up to the red mark on
the level indicator tube. Do not overfill and carefully wipe
off any spillage to prevent sudsing problems. Don't forget
to close the filler trough afterwards. Adjust the dosage
setting according to the hardness if the water. Begin with
the lowest dosage setting and increase as necessary by
turning the arrow clockwise.
Do not fill the rinse aid dispenser with liquid
detergent.
Spray arm (2)
It is important to keep all the holes in the spray arm clear.
A clogged hole can seriously affect washing efficiency. If
the spray arm needs cleaning, unscrew the nut clockwise
(left-hand thread) and lift off the spray arm. Clear the holes
and shake out any food remnants.
Coarse filter (3)
The purpose of the coarse filter is to catch large objects
such as toothpicks and pieces of eggshell. Make sure that
the filter is always clean. Lift it out and rinse it under run-
ning water whenever necessary.
Fine filter (4)
It is just as important to keep this filter clean. A dirty or
clogged filter will always impair washing efficiency. The
fine filter can easily be lifted out for cleaning when you
have removed the coarse filter.
Detergent dispenser (5)
Only use detergents specially designed for dishwashers.
Pour the detergent into the compartment, for a normal load
about 1-2 tablespoons.
Water softener (6)
This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener for hard
water, therefore shall the rinse aid dispenser be set for a
low dosage. The lime in hard water causes white deposits
to occur on dishes and to the interior of the dishwasher.
To prevent this, the water has to pass through a special
container where the hardness is removed.
Since the water softener uses coarse dishwasher salt,
you will have to refill the salt container after a certain
number of dishwashing cycles.
It is important to fill the compartment with coarse
dishwasher salt before using the machine for the
first time, if you live in an area where the water is
calciferous.
The indicator light on the control panel is lit when the
container requires refilling.
1. Unscrew the filler cap to the salt container anti-
clockwise.
2. Fill the salt container with water (only the first
time).
3. Fill the container with coarse salt, using the
funnel supplied.
4. Remove the funnel and wipe off any spillage
around the filler opening.
5. Screw the filler cap back properly in place.
The salt container holds about 1 litre, which is enough for
about 20 - 30 dishwashing cycles. Always ensure that there
is water in the salt container before filling salt.
Use only special salt for dishwashing machines,
ordinary domestic salt can damage the water
softener.
Water softener plug
As supplied from the factory, the water softener is set for
a water hardness of up to 20° dH. If your water is harder
than this, you can increase the capacity of the water sof-
tener by pulling out the rubber plug at the rear of the dish-
washer on the left hand side viewed from the back.
See illustration.
Contact your local Water Authority to find the exact water
hardness level for your area.
