Note on chemicals used by the dishwasher
5
• 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.
WARNING!
ONLY USE DISHWASHER SALT IN YOUR
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
.
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.

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.
