Adding water softener (dishwasher salt) The dishwasher requires lime free water for optimum operation. The water supply in South Africa varies considerably. Some users have access to borehole water only, while others are supplied from reservoirs or dams. Users in urban areas would not normally require water softeners.
Adding rinse aid Note: Only use rinse aid specifically intended • for dishwashers. If composite detergent tablets • containing rinse aid ( 3 in 1 or 2 in 1 ) are used, it is not necessary to fill the rinse aid dispenser. Rinse aid prevents water and calcium streaking on dishes and speeds up the drying process.
Only use detergents formulated for use in Adding detergent dishwashers. Detergent tablets or composite tablets containing detergent, softener and rinse aid may also be used. The detergent and rinse aid dispensers are on the inside of the door. The detergent compartment is on the left. Open the detergent compartment by pushing the locking lever to the right (A).
