Your dishwasher is equipped with an adjustable rinse aid and salt container. Using individual detergents,

Note on chemicals used by the dishwasher

rinse aid and salt will give the best possible results as this will give the correct dosage of each chemical to
suit your needs. Using Two-in-One or Three-in-One tablets may not give the best results when used in
your appliance, and may not be suitable for the type of water supply in your home, as they contain pre­determined quantities of salt, rinse aid and detergent and cannot be adjusted to the individual
requirements.

If you are going to use 3-in-1 (or 2-in-1) tablets, we suggest that you contact the manufacturer before use

or if you experience poor results in the wash performance and ask for assistance from them.

ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER

•

As with detergent, the amount of rinse
aid needed for your dishes depends on

the hardness of the water in your area.

Too much rinse aid can result in

foaming and cause cloudiness or

streaks on your dishes. If your water

is very soft, you may not need rinse
aid. You can always dilute the rinse
aid with an equal amount of water.

The rinse aid dispenser has six settings. ALWAYS START WITH THE DISPENSER SET ON “1”. IF SPOTS & POOR

PROTECTING OUR ISHWASHER AGAINST FREEZINGY D

If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a
service technician to:

1)

Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or trip circuit

breaker.

2)

Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water

valve & discharge hoses.

3)

Drain water from the inlet pipe and water valve (Use a pan to catch the

water).

4)

Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.

5)

Remove the plastic sump cover in the tub bottom and use a sponge to soak

up water in the rubber boot.
