General advice on dishwashing
• Economical dishwashing:
Collect the dirty dishes and stack them in
your dishwasher. Only select a full wash
programme when both baskets are full.
A rinse and hold programme can be
selected during the day to prevent food soil
from drying on before a full load has been
collected. Always select the programme
according to the degree of soiling (see
chart on pages 14/15).
• "On glaze" decorations may fade if washed
frequently in the dishwasher over a long
period of time. Check earthenware for
"dishwasher proof” descriptions.
• Aluminium articles have a tendency to dis¬
colour when machine washed.
• Some glassware may not be suitable for
machine washing. Etching could occur
leaving the glasses dull and opaque in
appearance.
• Clean food residues on silver dishes and
silver cutlery if you do not run a wash pro¬
gramme after the meal (some food such as
egg white, egg yolk, mustard, etc., cause
stains and discolouration).
• Unsuitable articles:
Wooden chopping boards, heat sensitive
plastic articles, pewter, crockery repaired
with glue, cracked china, old cutlery, steel
knives sensitive to rust, cutlery with wood,
bone, china and mother-of-pearl handles.
• If in doubt about an article check with the
manufacturer of the article where possible.
Failing this, wash valuable items by hand.
• When buying new china look out for dish¬
washer suitable crockery, cutlery and
glasses. Buy articles which have straight
and smooth sides, large openings avoiding
deep indentations on the base of the
crockery.

Setting the water hardness - adding dishwasher salt
Your dishwasher is equipped with a water
softener which transforms the “hard” water
into “soft” water required for washing. To re¬
generate the water softener the salt container
in the bottom of the wash tub (fig. 2/B) must
contain dishwasher salt at all times. At the end
of each programme the water softener is auto¬
matically re-generated using some of the salt
from the salt container.
For economical reasons and to protect the
environment do not use more salt than neces-
Please also make reference to special instruc¬
tions found on the detergent packaging.
Set the water hardness selector (fig. 2/C and
fig. 4) to the correct setting using a coin.
Your local Water Authority will quote the water
hardness in English or Clarke Degrees or
parts per million (ppm).
