There are two ways to reduce the hardness: one way is using water softener, the other is using
water
detergent.
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes and utensils. The appliances is equippedwith a specialsoftener that uses a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers. The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:
Remove the lower basket and then unscrew and removethe cap from the salt
1
container.
Ifyou are filling the containerfor the first time ,fill 2/3 of its volumewith water
2
(around 500ml).
3
Place the end of the funnel(supplied) into the hole and introduce about 1.2kg of salt .Itis normal for asmall amount of water to come out of the salt container
4
Carefully screw the cap back on.
5
Usually, the salt warning light will be off in 2-6 days after the salt container be filled with salt.
The salt container must be refilled when the salt warninglight comes on. Though the salt container is filled
1.
enough, the indicator light may not black out before the salt fully dissolve.
2.
If there are spills of the salt, a soak program could be run to wipe them out.
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimize and customize the level of saltconsumption sothat the salt consumption could be set proceedas follows:
Unscrew the cap from the salt container.

There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see Figure to the side), if

The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the" WashCycle Table".Your dishwashers than conventional dishwashers. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting dishwasher,otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.
IF THE WATER ISN'T TOO HARD, YOU MAY ALSO PREVENT THE FORMATION OF DEPOSITS BY ADDING DETERGENT. The amount of detergent needed can vary due to differencesin waterhardness. To determine the water hardness in your area, contact your local water utility or area water softening company. The harder the water, the more detergent you may need. Remember, you should adjust the amount of detergent you use by small amounts until you find the correct amount.
use less detergent and rinse aid
To remove har d water spots, try the following:
Run dishes through a normal wash program. Remove all metal dishware, such as cutlery, pans, etc., from the dishwasher. Do not add detergent. Pour twocups of vinegar into a bowl and set the bowl face up on the lower rack of the dishwasher.
Runthe dishes through a normal wash program. If this doesn't work, try the same proc ess with 1 / 4 cup of citric acid crystals instead of vinegar.
Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out of reach of children.
To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the "open" (left) arrow and lift it out. Pour the rinse aidinto the dispenser, being careful not to overfill. Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with "open" arrow and turning it to the closed (right) arrow.
Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don't put powder detergent into the dispenser until You're ready to wash dishes.
The rinse aidis releasedduring the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes thatcan leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to "sheet" off the dishes.
Your dishwashe rs are designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is located 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 volume of the rinse aid container is about 140ml.
Be carefulnot to overfill the dispenser, because thiscould cause oversudsing. W ipe away any spills with a damp cloth. Don't forget to replace the cap before you close the dishwasher door. If you have soft water, you may not need rinse aid for it may cause awhite filmto develop on your dishes.
A measured amount of rinse aid is released during the final rinse. 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 lather offoaming and cause cloudiness or steaks on your dishes. If the water in your area is very soft,you may not need rinse aid. If you do,you can dilute the rinse aid with an equal amount of water. The rinse aid dispenser has six settings. Always start with the dispenser set on " 2 ". If spots and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed byremoving the dispenser lid and rotating the dial to "3". If the dishes still are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number until your dishes are spot-free. We suggest you to set on "4" .
5
If there is no rinse aid warning light in the control panel, you can judge the amountof rinse aid by the following means.The black dot on the rinse aid dispenser indicates the amount of rinse aid inthe dispenser. As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot decreases. You should never let the rinse aidget below 1 / 4 full.
Astherinseaiddiminishes,the size of theblack doton therinse aid level indicator changes, asillustrated below.

Your dishwasher has a 3 in 1 program which needs not salt and rinse aid but a THREE IN ONE tablet. And this dishwasher comes with a 3 in 1 tablet container as an accessory. NOTE: Only 3 in 1 program uses 3 in 1 tablet. If using 3 in 1 tablet in other programs, the appliance will not get a best performance.

We recommend that youplace large items which are most difficult to clean into the lower rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure to the right. It is preferable to place serving dishesand lids on the side of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.
Pots, serving bowls, etc, must always be placed top down. Deep pots should be slanted to allow water to flow out.
The bottom rack feature fold downtine rows so that larger
or more pots and pans can be loaded.

It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly for hard waterchemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings. To remove the spray arm, screw off the nut to takeoutthe washer on top of the spray arm and remove the arm. Wash the arms in soapy and warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing them thoroughly.
Filter assembly For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned. The filter efficientlyremoves foodparticlesfrom thewash water, allowing it tobe recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped inthe filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the semicircular filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull on the cup handle in the upward direction. The entire filter assembly should be cleaned once a week. To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter parts as shown in the figures left and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat and pressing downward. The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.

To clean the edge around the door, you should use onlya soft warm, damp rag. Toprevent penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind. Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they will scratch the finish. Some papers towels can also scratchor leave marks on thesurface.
Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel for it could damage the door lock and electrical components. It is not allowed to use the abrasive agent or some paper towel becauseof the risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stainless steel surface.
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture andodors are not trapped inside.
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket. Do not run risks.
To cleanthe exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaningproducts. Rather, use only a cloth and warm soapy water. To removespotsor stainsfromthesurfaceof the interior, usea cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
When you go on holiday, it is recommened that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supplyand leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This will help the seals last longer and prevent odors from forming within the appliance.
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position.If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.
One of the factors that cause odors to form inthe dishwasher is food that remains trappedin the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.
Please see the rating lable to know the rating voltage and connect the dishwasher to appropriate power supply,Use required fuse 12 amp. Fused electrical supply is required-copper wire only. Time delay fuse orcircuit breaker recommended and provide
separate circuit serving only this appliance. Outlet should be placed in adjacent cabinet.
After making sure that the voltageand the frequency values for the current in the home correspond to those on the rating plate andthat the electrical system is sized for the maximum voltage on the rating plate, insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthedproperly. If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not
appropriate for the , replace the socket,rather thanusing a adaptors or thelikeas
they could cause overheating and burns.
