Rinse aid 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 approa-
ching 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 the red mark on the level
indicator tube. Do not overfill and carefully wipe off any
spillage to prevent sudsing problems. Don't forget the close
the filler trough afterwards. Adjust the dosage setting accor-
ding to the hardness of 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.
If the spray arm becomes blocked this will 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 particles.
Coarse strainer 3
The purpose of the coarse strainer is to catch large objects,
such as toothpicks and pieces of eggshell. Make sure that
the strainer is always clean. Lift it out and rinse it under
running water whenever necessary.
Fine filter 4
It is just as important to keep this filter clean. A dirty or
clogged filter will impair washing efficiency. The fine filter
can easily be lifted out for cleaning when you have removed
the coarse strainer.
Detergent dispenser 5
Only use detergents specially designed for dishwashers.
For a normal load pour about 1-2 tablespoons of detergent
into the detergent dispenser.
Water softener 6
This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener for hard
(chalky) water, therefore the rinse aid dispenser should
be set for a low dosage.
The lime (chalk) in hard water causes white deposits to
occur on dishes and the interior of the dishwasher.
To prevent this, the water has to pass through a special
container where its hardness is removed. Since the water
softener consumes coarse dishwasher salt, you will have
to replenish the salt container after a certain number of
dishwashing cycles. When the indicator lamp on the
control panel lights up, it is time to fill up with salt.
Proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the salt container filler cap.
2. Fill up salt container with water (only the first
time).
3. Fill the container with coarse salt. Use the funnel
supplied with the machine.
Ordinary domestic salt will affect the effiency of
the water softener and damage it.
4. Remove the funnel and wipe off any spillage.
5. Screw the filler cap back 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.
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
softener by pulling out the rubber plug at the rear of the
dishwasher 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.
Never run the dishwasher without salt in the
container as this may damage the water softener.
