Note on chemicals used by the dishwasher

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

WATER

SOFTENING

FEATURE

THE LIME IN HARD WATER MAKES DEPOSITS FORM ON DISHES AND UTENSILS. YOUR DISHWASHER HAS A

SPECIAL SOFTENING FEATURE THAT USES SALT SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO ELIMINATE LIME AND

MINERALS FROM THE WATER.

WARNING!

ONLY USE DISHWASHER SALT IN YOUR DISHWASHER.

NOTE:

IF YOU USE 3-IN-1 OR 2-IN-1 TABLETS, BE SURE NOT TO ADD SALT AND/OR RINSE AID TO THE APPLIANCE AS THESE TABLET TYPES ALREADY CONTAIN SALT AND/OR RINSE AID. ADDING SALT AND RINSE AID

TO YOUR DISHWASHER’S COMPARTMENTS IN A CYCLE INVOLVING A 3-IN-1 OR 2-IN-1 TABLET WILL RESULT IN OVERDOSING OF

INDIVIDUAL CHEMICALS AND MAY CAUSE OVERFLOWING OF WATER AND SUDS.

LOADING SALT INTO THE SALT CONTAINER

• REMOVE THE LOWER BASKET & THEN UNSCREW AND REMOVE THE CAP FROM THE SALT CONTAINER.

•IF YOU ARE FILLING THE CONTAINER

FOR THE FIRST TIME, FILL WITH APPROX. 1 LITRE OF WATER.

• PLACE THE END OF THE SUPPLIED FUNNEL INTO THE HOLE & ADD 1.2 Kg OF SALT. NOTE: IT IS NORMAL FOR A SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER TO COME OUT OF THE CONTAINER.

SETTING THE WATER SOFTENER LEVEL

YOU CAN ADJUST THE AMOUNT OF SALT USED BY THE DISHWASHER TO SOFTEN WATER TO GET THE BEST WASHING RESULTS, BASED ON THE HARDNESS OF WATER IN YOUR AREA.

1UNSCREW THE CAP FROM THE SALT CONTAINER.

2THERE IS A RING ON THE NECK OF THE CONTAINER. ROTATE THE RING IN AN ANTICLOCKWISE DIRECTION FROM THE “-” SETTING TOWARDS THE “+” SETTING ACCORDING TO THE HARDNESS OF WATER IN USE. SEE TABLE BELOW.

NOTE

1.THE SALT CONTAINER MUST BE REFILLED WHEN THE SALT WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. ALTHOUGH THE SALT CONTAINER MAY BE FULL, THE INDICATOR LIGHT MAY NOT GO OUT UNTIL THE SALT HAS DISSOLVED.

2.IF THERE ARE SALT SPILLS, A SOAK PROGRAM CAN BE RUN TO WASH AWAY SPILLAGE BEFORE USING THE MACHINE.

3.CLEAR ANY SALT GRANULES AWAY FROM THE CONTAINER OPENING.

ADJUSTMENTSSHOULD BE MADE ACCORDING TO THE TABLE BELOW:

Contact your l ocal water boa rd for informa ti on on the hardness of your w ate r supply.

DETERGENT “How much do I use?”

To OPEN the DETERGENT DISPENSER DOOR, use the CATCH on its LOWER SIDE.

*NOTE: SEE P.13 – WASH CYCLE TABLE for AMOUNT of DETERGENT to use.

NOTE:

•ALWAYS CHECK THE WASH CYCLE TABLE FOR DOSAGE ADVICE. NEVER OVERFILL THE DISPENSER.

•DO NOT OVERDOSE TO PREVENT THE FORMATION OF DEPOSITS (THE WATER SOFTENING FEATURE ALREADY TAKES CARE OF THIS!).

THE HARDER YOUR WATER, THE MORE DETERGENT

YOU MAY NEED. ADJUST THE DOSE JUST BY SMALL

AMOUNTS UNTIL YOU FIND THE CORRECT AMOUNT

OF DETERGENT TO USE.

RINSE AID

•TO OPEN THE DISPENSER, TURN THE CAP TO THE ‘OPEN’ (LEFT) ARROW AND LIFT IT OUT.

•POUR THE RINSE AID INTO THE DISPENSER. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERFILL.

•REPLACE CAP BY INSERTING IT ALIGNED WITH ‘OPEN’ ARROW & TURN IT TO THE CLOSED (RIGHT) ARROW.

• THE RINSE AID IS RELEASED DURING THE FINAL RINSE TO PREVENT WATER FROM FORMING DROPLETS ON YOUR DISHES THAT CAN CAUSE SPOTS AND STREAKS. IT ALSO IMPROVES DRYING BY ALLOWING WATER TO FALL OFF THE DISHES.

• YOUR DISHWASHER IS DESIGNED TO USE LIQUID RINSE AIDS. THE RINSE AID DISPENSER CAN BE FOUND INSIDE THE DOOR NEXT TO THE DETERGENT DISPENSER. TO FILL THE DISPENSER, OPEN

THE CAP AND POUR THE RINSE AID INTO THE DISPENSER UNTIL THE LEVEL

INDICATOR TURNS COMPLETELY BLACK. THE DISPENSER HOLDS ABOUT 100ML OF LIQUID RINSE AID.

• BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERFILL THE DISPENSER – THIS COULD CAUSE FROTHING. WIPE AWAY SPILLS WITH A DAMP CLOTH. DON’T FORGET TO REPLACE THE CAP BEFORE YOU CLOSE THE DISHWASHER DOOR.

NOTE: IF YOU HAVE SOFT WATER, YOU MAY NOT NEED RINSE AID FOR IT MAY CAUSE A WHITE FILM TO DEVELOP ON YOUR DISHES.

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 DRYING ARE A PROBLEM, INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF RINSE AID DISPENSED BY REMOVING THE DISPENSER LID AND ROTATING THE DIAL TO “2”. IF THE DISHES ARE STILL NOT DRYING PROPERLY OR ARE SPOTTED, ADJUST THE DIAL TO THE NEXT HIGHER NUMBER UNTIL YOUR DISHES ARE SPOT-FREE.

***NOTE: Please read the notes for detergent use on p. 13.

WHEN TO REFILL THE RINSE AID DISPENSER -

warning light (SEE control panel) is not on, you can judge the rinse aid level by looking at the black dot on the rinse aid dispenser. As the rinse aid level decreases, the black dot shrinks. Never let the rinse aid get below ¼ full.

As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below.

Note:

Do not wash stainless steel and silver cutlery together. Iron objects can rust and stain other items. Aluminium tends to go black. Copper, pewter & brass stain.

HOW TO USE THE UPPER RACK

THE UPPER RACK IS FOR MORE DELICATE AND LIGHTER DISHWARE SUCH AS GLASSES, COFFEE & TEA CUPS, SAUCERS, PLATES, BOWLS, AND SHALLOW PANS (PROVIDED THESE ARE NOT TOO DIRTY).

POSITION THE DISHES AND COOKWARE SO THAT THEY DO NOT

GET MOVED BY THE SPRAY OF WATER. ALWAYS PLACE GLASSES,

CUPS & BOWLS UPSIDE DOWN.

NOTE:

YOUR DISHWASHER COMES WITH AN

ADJUSTABLE TOP RACK (BASKET) – PICTURED AT RIGHT. ITS HEIGHT CAN BE ADJUSTED BY UNDOING THE FRONT

RAIL CLIPS, REMOVING THE RACK COMPLETELY AND LATCHING THE WHEELS OF THE LOWER LEVEL

(POSITION ‘1’ IN THE FIGURE ON THE RIGHT)

OR THE HIGHER LEVEL (POSITION ‘2’ IN THE FIGURE ON THE RIGHT) IN THE GROOVE OF THE RAIL.

***NOTE***: THE UPPER RACK HAS

SIDE FLAPS (PICTURED AT LEFT ABOVE BASKET).

THERE ARE 4 (2 ON EACH SIDE). THESE CAN BE ADJUSTED INTO 2 POSITIONS = POSITION 1 (HIGH) AND POSITION 2 (LOW).

TO MOVE THE FLAPS BETWEEN THESE POSITIONS, FIND THE LARGE HINGES

CLASPING EACH FLAP TO THE UPPER

RACK. THERE ARE TWO OF THESE AT EITHER END OF EACH FLAP. GENTLY PULL BOTH CLASPS OFF THE WIRE RACK AND MOVE THE FLAP TO THE DESIRED POSITION. BE CAREFUL IF YOU HAVE

LONG FINGERNAILS!

POSITION 1

THE UPPER POSITION WILL ACCOMMODATE ITEMS SUCH AS GLASS TUMBLERS (PLACED BENEATH FLAP) AND WINE GLASSES. WINE GLASSES CAN BE PLACED UPSIDE DOWN SO THAT THE NECK NESTLES SNUGLY IN THE GROOVES AT SIDE OF FLAP WITH THE BASE OF THE GLASS FACING UPWARD.

POSITION 2

WHEN THE FLAPS ARE MOVED TO THE LOWER POSITION, THEY CAN BE USED TO HOLD ADDITIONAL TUMBLERS, CUPS AND MUGS. ALWAYS CHECK THAT YOU ARE ONLY PLACING ITEMS ON THE FLAPS THAT WILL CLEAR THE CEILING HEIGHT OF YOUR DISHWASHER WHEN YOU PUSH THE RACK BACK IN. BE PARTICULARLY CAREFUL WITH LONG-STEMMED GLASSWARE SUCH AS CHAMPAGNE GLASSES –

BREAKAGE HAZARD!

HOW TO LOAD THE LOWER RACK:

PLACE LARGE ITEMS THAT ARE HARD TO CLEAN IN THE LOWER RACK: eg. POTS, PANS, LIDS,

SERVING DISHES, BOWLS.

1. OVAL PLATTER.

2. DINNER PLATES.

3. SOUP PLATES.

4. DESSERT DISHES.

5. CUTLERY BASKET.

•POTS, SERVING BOWLS, ETC. MUST ALWAYS BE PLACED UPSIDE DOWN.

•DEEP POTS SHOULD BE SLANTED TO LET WATER FLOW OUT.

•THE BOTTOM RACK FEATURES FOLD DOWN BASKETS SO THAT LARGER OR MORE POTS & PANS CAN BE LOADED.
