Using your dishwasher
Before first use
o Install the appliance as per the installation instructions contained
within this booklet.
o Fill the water softener with 0.5 litres of tap water and then fill
with specialist dishwasher salt. After this you should set the
water softener level.
o Fill the rinse aid dispenser and then set the rinse aid dosage.
10
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. This will help to clear any
salt that may have overflowed from the water softener during
the salt filling process.
o Open the door of the dishwasher and then remove the lower
basket. The basket should be empty when you remove it.
o Turn the water softener cap
anticlockwise and remove it.
o Pour 0.5 litres of water into the water
softener.
IMPORTANT: It is only necessary to do this when you fill
the container with salt for the first time.
o Pour salt into the water softener, using
the funnel that is supplied with the
appliance. You should add
approximately 1.2 kg of salt into the
water softener.
o It is perfectly normal for a small amount of water to come out of
the water softener, whilst you are filling it with salt. This does
not mean that the water softener is filled with the correct
amount of salt.
o Refit and fully tighten the water softener cap.
o The salt required indicator neon will go out approximately 2-6
hours after you have filled the water softener with salt. When
the salt required indicator neon lights on the control panel, then
you should follow the filling with dishwasher salt procedure
again.
11
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. The water softener should be set to a
level that is appropriate for the hardness of your water (please refer to
the table below).
Water hardness
Clarke
degrees
0 – 10 0 – 14 No salt
10 – 28 14 – 39 Minus
28 – 56 39 – 80 Halfway
56 - 75 80 - 107 Plus
To alter the amount of salt that is released by the water softener, you
should:-
o Remove the lower basket and unscrew the cap from the water
softener.
o The “middle” selector position is halfway between the minus and
plus symbols.
o IMPORTANT: If you are using 3 in 1 dishwasher tablets and live
in a medium or hard water area, then you should still fill the
water softener with salt. The water softener arrow should be
turned to the minus setting.
°TH French
degrees
o Locate the ring with an arrow on it that is located
on the water softener. (See figure opposite).
o When you first receive your appliance, the arrow
will be pointing to the minus symbol. Using the
water hardness chart, you should turn the arrow
to the setting that is appropriate for your water
hardness.

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.
C (Rinse-Aid indicator) C
o Your dishwasher is designed to utilise liquid rinse aid.
o The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the drop down door,
next to the detergent dispenser.
11
22
o To access the rinse aid dispenser, you
should turn the cap anticlockwise and it
will pop out of the hole. Then slowly pour
in liquid rinse aid, the rinse aid dispenser
will hold approximately 140 ml of rinse
aid.
o You should continue to fill with rinse aid,
until the level indicator turns completely
black.
o Be careful not to overfill the dispenser,
as this could cause oversudsing when a
wash program is selected. Wipe away
any rinse aid excess or spillages with a
damp cloth.
