  • Page 12: Racking Features

    Racking features Cutlery basket To reduce the risk of injury, we recommend loading knives and sharp utensils with handles facing up. Mix spoons, knives and forks within each section to stop cutlery nesting together and to ensure the water circulates freely. Keep stainless steel from touching silver cutlery to avoid staining.
  • Page 13 Racking features Removable small items container To optimise the cutlery space within the basket, the small items container can be placed elsewhere on the base rack. If laid flat, make sure the solid plastic side is facing up. If you place a fully laden small items container under the adjustable racks, it is best to leave the rack space directly above the container empty: there may not be enough water reaching items that are placed there.
  • Page 14 Racking features Racking features will vary depending on model. Stemware notches These notches help support long-stemmed glassware. Glass supports These clip on the rack wires to give your tall glasses extra stability. Spacing-adjustable tines (DD24/DD60 models only) Designed to fit deep bowls (wide spacing) or small plates (narrow spacing), depending on adjustment.
  • Page 15 Racking features Adjustable racks You can adjust these independently of each other to any height: Fold up to unlock the rack. Adjust the height to suit by sliding up or down. Fold down to lock in position. Fold the racks away if you need the space. Knife clip This clips onto the adjustable racks and supports knives and other utensils during the wash.

  • Page 22: Using Rinse Aid

    Using rinse aid We recommend using liquid rinse aid regularly to give the best drying results. Rinse aid gives a streak-free, sparkling clean look to glass and chinaware. It also prevents metal from tarnishing. The rinse aid dispenser is on the inside of the drawer, underneath the detergent dispenser. It holds approximately 1.7 fl oz / 50 ml of rinse aid.
  • Page 23: Water Softener

    Water softener Setting up the water softener Important! Only some models (those 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. Determine the water hardness in your local area Your local water company will be able to provide you with information.
  • Page 24 Water softener Notes: If your water hardness is above 625ppm/36 gpg, we highly recommend you completely fill the detergent dispenser for all programs except Rinse and the rinse aid setting should be at 5. If your water hardness is above 625ppm/36 gpg, the wash performance of your dishwasher will decline. You may hear some unusual noises when the water softener is in operation, this is normal.
  • Page 25 Water softener Important! The water softener must always be filled with granular salt made especially for dishwasher water softening systems. We do not recommend the use of cooking salt like table salt, rock salt or pellets as they may contain impurities that will impair or diminish the life of the water softener. The salt reservoir Water softening can only take place when there is salt in the reservoir.
