Detergent Use - Beko QDW486 User Manual

Adding Dishwasher Salt
Only use special pelletized
dishwasher salt in your machine to
soften the hard water. Never use
other types of salts including table
salt, animal feeding salt, sea salt,
culinary salt. These types of salt do
not dissolve in water easily and will
damage your appliance beyond repair.
When you run the dishwasher, the
Water softener will be full of water.
Therefore, adding softening salt
should always be done immediately
before you start the dishwasher.
Caution: Only fill with salt just before
starting one of the complete washing
programmes to prevent any grains of
salt causing corrosion. Ensure 1lt of
water has been added. You can put
approximately 2 kg softening salt in
the Water softener.
To fill the container with softening
salt, remove the lower rack first
and unscrew the cap of the water
softener turning anti clockwise.
Using the funnel provided will make
filling easier.
After you fill the container, screw
cap tightly back into place turning
clockwise until you hear a click sound.
In case the light of the salt indicator is
still on for a long time after filling with
salt, mix the salty water inside the
salt box using a spoon.

Detergent use

Any brand of powder, gel and tablet
detergents that have been designed
for household dishwashers, may be
used.
Keep detergents in a cool and dry
place and out of the reach of children.
Detergent must be added to the
container before each use.
Detergent overdose may cause
scratches on your dishes and there
may be traces of detergent left in
your machine.
Three types of detergent are
Funnel
available
• Phosphate and containing
chlorine.
• Phosphate containing no chlorine
• Neither containing phosphate nor
chlorine
New compact powders are generally
phosphate-free. As phosphates
have water softening properties,
we suggest you add salt to the salt
container even if the hardness of your
water is as low as a 6 clarke degrees.
In hard water areas if a phosphate
free detergent is used, white marks
on the dishes and glasses may be
observed. It may be prevented by
increasing the amount of detergent.
Detergents without chlorine have
less bleaching effect. Coloured stains
may not be completely removed.
This may be prevented by increasing
the amount of detergent, using
a programme with a higher wash
