Using your dishwasher
Before first use
oInstall the appliance as per the installation instructions contained
within this booklet.
oFill the water softener with 500ml of tap water and then fill with
specialist dishwasher salt. After this you should set the water
softener level.
oFill the rinse aid dispenser and then set the rinse aid dosage.
10

Filling with dishwasher salt
IMPORTANT: You should only use salt that is specially
designed for use in a dishwasher. If any other type of
salt is used in the appliance (in particular table salt),
it will damage the water softener.
oIdeally you should fill the water softener with salt, just before you
are about to run a wash program. This will help to clear any salt
that may have overflowed from the water softener during the salt
filling process.
oOpen the door of the dishwasher and then remove the lower
basket. The basket should be empty when you remove it.
11
oTurn the water softener cap
anticlockwise and remove it.
oPour 500ml of water into the water
softener.
IMPORTANT: It is only necessary to do
this when you fill the container with
salt for the first time.
oPour salt into the water softener, using
the funnel that is supplied with the
appliance. You should add approximately
2 kg of salt into the water softener.
oIt is perfectly normal for a small amount
of water to come out of the water
softener, whilst you are filling it with
salt. This does not mean that the water
softener is filled with the correct amount
of salt.
oRefit and fully tighten the water softener cap.
oThe salt required warning light will go out approximately 2-6 hours
after you have filled the water softener with salt, however the light
may not go out for a few days depending on how much it is used.
When the salt indicator neon lights on the control panel, then you
should follow the filling with dishwasher salt procedure again.
oIMPORTANT: You do not need to pour 500ml of water into
the container when you subsequently fill the water softener
with salt.

Setting the water softener level
It is possible to regulate the amount of salt that the water softener will
release during a wash cycle. The water softener should be set to a
level that is appropriate for the hardness of your water (please refer to
the table below).
WATER HARDNESS
° dH ° fH ° Clarke Mmol/L

25-50 44-89 31.3-62.5 4.4-8.9 Mid 40 40
>50 >89 >62.5 >8.9 + 60 25
To alter the amount of salt that is released by the water softener, you
should:-
oRemove the lower basket and unscrew the cap from the water
softener.
oLocate the ring with an arrow on it that is
located on the water softener. (See figure
opposite).
12
oUsing the water hardness chart, you should
turn the arrow to the setting that is
appropriate for your water hardness.
oThe “middle” selector position is halfway
between the minus and plus symbols.
oIMPORTANT: If you are using 3 in 1 dishwasher tablets and live
in a medium or hard water area, then you should still fill the
water softener with salt. The water softener arrow should be
turned to the minus setting.

Filling with rinse aid
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse and it helps
to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes.
These droplets will lead to spots and streaks being left on
items after the wash program has completed.
oYour dishwasher is designed to utilise liquid rinse aid.
oThe rinse aid dispenser is located inside the drop down door,
next to the detergent dispenser.
oTo access the rinse aid dispenser, you should turn the cap
anticlockwise and it will pop out of the hole. Then slowly pour in
liquid rinse aid, the rinse aid dispenser will hold approximately
140 ml of rinse aid.
oYou should continue to fill with rinse aid, until the level indicator
turns completely black.
oBe careful not to overfill the dispenser, as this could cause
oversudsing when a wash program is selected. Wipe away any
rinse aid excess or spillages with a damp cloth.
oReplace the cap and turn it clockwise until it locks into position.
oYou should refill the rinse aid dispenser when the rinse aid
indicator neon lights on the control panel.
oIMPORTANT: If you are using 3 in 1 dishwasher tablets then
you should still fill the rinse aid dispenser.
