Adding Dishwasher Salt; Detergent Use - Beko DWC6540W 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 1 Litre 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.

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
available
• Phosphate and containing
Funnel
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
