CARING FOR YOUR DINNERWARE The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage to some items if they are washed in the dishwasher. Remember, if in any doubt about any aspect concerning items washed in the dishwasher, follow the instructions from the manufacturer of the items, or wash the item by hand. Cutlery & silverware All cutlery and silverware should be rinsed immediately after use to prevent tarnishing caused by some foods. The Rinse wash program is useful for this.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WASH MODIFIERS (SOME MODELS ONLY) Along with setting the wash program, you may select one of the following the additional options: ● ● ● ● ● Extra dry: Increases the final rinse temperature and the length of the drying phase for improved drying performance. Quick: Uses additional water and energy for a faster wash time, while maintaining wash performance. Sanitize: Raises the water temperature during the rinse phase to sanitize dishes.
WASH MODIFIERS (SOME MODELS ONLY) Using sanitize The sanitize wash modifier adjusts the wash program to meet the conditions required by Section 6, NSF 184 for sanitization to occur. While sanitize is running, the wash program is monitored to ensure that these conditions are met. IMPORTANT! ● ● ● Only programs utilising the sanitize wash modifier are certified to meet the conditions required by Section 6, NSF 184. Other wash programs may not reach the temperatures required for sanitization to occur.
WATER HARDNESS AND DISHWASHING What is water hardness? Hard water is water with a high concentration of minerals such as calcium and magnesium. In soft water, this concentration is low. Water hardness varies by geographical location. How does water hardness affect dishwashing? ● ● Hard water can be detrimental to the performance of your dishwasher. Over time, glassware washed in hard water will become cloudy and dishes will become spotted or covered in a white film.
WASH PROGRAMS AND POWDERED DETERGENT QUANTITIES ● ● ● Find out about water hardness in your home, then use the table below to determine how much powdered detergent to use for each wash program. See also section ‘Water hardness and dishwashing’. For information on which program to use for your load, see your ‘Quick start guide’. The main powdered detergent dispenser has markings to help you measure the correct quantities. See following section ‘Adding detergent’.
WATER SOFTENER (SOME MODELS ONLY) IMPORTANT! ● ● ● Only models with a letter ‘H’ in the model name have a built-in water softener. Models with water softener are not currently available in New Zealand and Australia. Models without built-in water softener: If living in an area with very hard water, consult a plumber on installing a household water softener. Setting up the water softener Determine the water hardness in your local area Your local water company will be able to provide you with information.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE WHAT TO DO Unclean dishes Wash program unsuitable for the load. See your ‘Quick start guide’ for a suitable wash program, or the soils were too heavily baked on and dishes may need soaking. Spray arm unable to rotate. Ensure no items are obstructing the spray arm path. Make sure the spray arm is mounted correctly and free to rotate. Drawer overloaded/ incorrectly loaded. Refer to the section on loading. Filter plate/drain filter is incorrectly inserted.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE WHAT TO DO Foaming Wrong type of detergent used ONLY use dishwasher detergent. See ‘Adding detergent’. Incorrect amount of detergent. See section ‘Wash programs and detergent quantities’ or follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions. Too much egg left on plates. Rinse off excess egg prior to loading. Increase the amount of detergent. Rinse aid setting too high. Decrease the rinse aid setting. Rinse aid dispenser plug not closed properly.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE WHAT TO DO Fan noise starts up when I close the drawer, even though I didn’t start a new wash This is normal. In some cases, the drying fan will run whenever the drawer is closed for a set period of time after a program has finished. No action required. The fan will automatically stop after the set time is over. No powdered detergent dispensed Detergent dispenser was wet when loaded. Clean the dispenser and ensure it is dry before adding detergent.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE WHAT TO DO Dishes did not dry Incorrect loading. Ensure the dishes are not nesting together. Dishes were left in the drawer for several hours after a wash. We recommend unloading the dishes within a few hours after a wash program has finished, as the small amount of vapour left after the wash may - with time - resettle on dishes as condensation. Using rinse aid or increasing its setting may also help with drying. Rinse aid depleted.
