Using your dishwasher

Before first use

oInstall the appliance as per the installation instructions contained within this booklet.

oFill 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.

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.

oIdeally 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.

oOpen 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.

oPour 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.

oPour 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.

oIt 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.

oThe 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.

oIMPORTANT: 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			Grams
			of salt
			used	Appropriate no. of
Clarke	°TH French	Selector	per	completed cycles
degrees	degrees	position	cycle	per 1 kg of salt
0 – 10	0 – 14	No salt	0	-
		required
10 – 28	14 – 39	Minus	20	50
		symbol
28 – 56	39 – 80	Halfway	40	25
		position
56 - 75	80 - 107	Plus	60	16
		symbol

To alter the amount of salt that is released by the water softener, you should:-

oRemove the lower basket and unscrew the cap from the water softener.

oLocate the ring with an arrow on it that is located on the water softener. (See figure opposite).

oWhen 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.

oThe “middle” selector position is halfway between the minus and plus symbols.

oIMPORTANT: 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.

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)

o Your dishwasher is designed to utilise liquid rinse aid.

oThe rinse aid dispenser is located inside the drop down door, next to the detergent dispenser.

oTo 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.

oYou should continue to fill with rinse aid, until the level indicator turns completely black.

oBe 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.
