LOADING THE SALT INTO THE SOFTENER
NOTE:
The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as explained in
the following:
WARNING
ONLY USE SALT SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR DISHWASHERS USE:
Every other type of salt not specifically designed for dishwasher use, especially table salt,
will damage the water softener. In case of damages caused by the use of unsuitable salt the
manufacturer does not give any warranty nor is liable for any damages caused.
ONLY FILL WITH SALT BEFORE RUNNING A CYCLE.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the
bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
WATER SOFTENER
The water softener must be set manually, using the water hardness dial.
The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, which would have a
detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.
The more minerals there are, the harder your water is. The softener should be adjusted according
to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the
hardness of the water in your area.
ADJUSTING SALT CONSUMPTION
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjustment in the amount of salt consumed based on
the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimise and customise the level of salt
consumption.
Please follow the steps below for adjustment in salt consumption.
1. Switch on the appliance;
2. Press the Program button for more than 5 seconds to start the water softener set model within
60seconds after the appliance was switched on;
3. Press the Program button to select the proper set according to your local environment, the sets
will change in the following sequence:
H1->H2->H3->H4->H5->H6;
4. Press the Power button to end the set up model.

Please follow the steps below for adding dishwasher salt:
1. Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.
2. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and pour in about 1.5kg of
dishwasher salt.
3. Fill the salt container to its maximum limit with water, It is normal for a small amount of water
to come out of the salt container.
4. After filling the container, screw back the cap tightly.
5. The salt warning light will turn off after the salt container has been filled
with salt.
6. Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing program should be started
(We suggest to use a short program). Otherwise the filter system, pump or other important
parts of the machine may be damaged by salty water.
NOTE:
The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light ( ) in the control panel
comes on. Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be on even
though the salt container is filled.
If salt has spilled, run a soak or quick program to remove it.
RINSE AID AND DETERGENT DISPENSER
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your
dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to roll off the
dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids.
WARNING
Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other
substances (e.g. Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.
WHEN TO REFILL THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
Unless the rinse-aid warning light ( ) on the control panel is on, you can always estimate the
amount from the colour of the optical level indicator located next to the cap. When the rinse-aid
container is full, the indicator will be fully dark. The size of the dark dot decreases as the rinse-aid
diminishes. You should never let the rinse aid level be less than 1/4 full.
As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as
illustrated below.

¾ full
½ full
¼ full - Should refill to eliminate spotting

FUNCTION OF DETERGENT
The chemical ingredients that compose the detergent are necessary to remove, crush and dispense
all dirt out of the dishwasher. Most of the commercial quality detergents are suitable for
this purpose.
WARNING
Proper Use of Detergent. Use only detergent specifically made for dishwashers use. Keep your
detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put powdered detergent into the dispenser until you are ready to
wash dishes.
Dishwasher detergent is corrosive. Keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children.

the dishwasher uses. If the dishes are not drying
properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next
higher number until your dishes are spot-free. Reduce
it if there are sticky whitish stains on your dishes or a
bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

Clean up any spilled rinse aid with an absorbent cloth to avoid excessive foaming during the
next wash.
