Filling with dishwasher salt IMPORTANT: You should only use salt that is specially designed for use in a dishwasher. If any other type of salt is used in the appliance (in particular table salt), it will damage the water softener. o Ideally you should fill the water softener with salt, just before you are about to run a wash program.
o IMPORTANT: You do not need to pour 0.5 litres of water into the container when you subsequently fill the water softener with salt. Setting the water softener level It is possible to regulate the amount of salt that the water softener will release during a wash cycle.
Filling with rinse aid The rinse aid is released during the final rinse and it helps to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes. These droplets will lead to spots and streaks being left on items after the wash program has completed. o Your dishwasher is designed to utilise liquid rinse aid.
o Replace the cap and turn it clockwise until it locks into position. o You should refill the rinse aid dispenser when the rinse aid required indicator neon lights on the control panel. o IMPORTANT: If you are using 3 in 1 dishwasher tablets then you should still fill the rinse aid dispenser.
Filling with dishwasher detergent The detergent dispenser must be refilled at the start of each wash cycle (apart from the rinse wash program). o Open the lid that closes over the detergent dispenser and place the detergent inside of the dispenser. o The section marked A in the diagram is for the main wash cycle detergent.
Loading the upper basket The upper basket is most suited to washing delicate and light dishware, such as glasses, coffee & tea cups, saucers, plates, bowls and shallow pans (that are not heavily soiled). o You should position the dishes and cookware in such a way that they are not moved by the spray of water during the wash cycle.

Lower position o If the upper wheels are placed in the guide supports, then the basket is in the lower position. o For accommodating additional tumblers, cups and mugs. You can also place small, espresso sized cups on top of the side racks. You should take care to ensure that there is enough clearance between the top of the cups placed on top of the side racks and the underneath of the dishwasher interior.
Loading the lower basket The lower basket is most suited to washing larger and more heavily soiled items, such as saucepans, saucepan lids and serving dishes. You can also load bowls and a variety of plates into the lower basket. o Saucepans and serving bowls must always be placed with their bases upwards.
The cutlery basket Cutlery should be placed inside of the cutlery basket. The cutlery basket should then be placed in the appropriate position in the lower basket. o For the best washing performance, cutlery should be placed through the slots in the top of the cutlery basket. IMPORTANT: Do not allow items of cutlery to fall through the bottom of the cutlery basket, as this may cause damage to the spray arm and/or the cutlery.
Loading dishes and cutlery Household cloths, sponges or any other object that may absorb water SHOULD NOT be washed in a dishwasher. o Remove leftovers and soften the remnants of burnt food in pans, prior to loading dishes in the appliance. o Once the dishwasher has been loaded, check that the spray arms can move freely.
