WATER HARDNESS AND DISHWASHING What is water hardness? Hard water is water with a high concentration of minerals such as calcium and magnesium. In soft water, this concentration is low. Water hardness varies by geographical location. How does water hardness affect dishwashing? Hard water can be detrimental to the performance of your dishwasher.
WASH PROGRAMMES AND DETERGENT QUANTITIES The quantities in the table below are for powdered detergent and typical levels of ● ● soiling. If your home has softer or harder water, or to suit the particular load, you may need to adjust these quantities. If you are using tablets, follow the tablet manufacturer’s recommendations.
ADDING DETERGENT IMPORTANT! Only use detergents recommended for automatic dishwashers. ● ● Dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline. They can be extremely dangerous if ● ● swallowed. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes and keep children and infirm persons away from the dishwasher when it is open. Check that the detergent dispenser is empty after completion of each wash programme.
USING RINSE AID We highly recommend using liquid rinse aid regularly to get the best drying results. Rinse aid gives a streak-free, sparkling clean look to glass and chinaware. In addition, it prevents metal from tarnishing. Rinse aid indicators When to refill the rinse aid dispenser When rinse aid level becomes low, the rinse aid indicators on the control panel will light up to remind you to refill the dispenser.
AFTER THE WASH When the wash programme is over, the dishwasher will beep six times, then automatically turn off in a few seconds. 1 Open the door slightly and leave it ajar (about 100 mm) to help the drying process. 2 Once the dishes are cool to touch, they can be removed.
