Using Sanitise
The sanitize wash modifier adjusts the wash program to meet the conditions required by Section 6, NSF 184 for
sanitization to occur. While sanitize is running, the wash program is monitored to ensure that these conditions are met.
• Only programs utilising the sanitize wash modifier are certified to meet the conditions required by
Section 6, NSF 184. Other wash programs may not reach the temperatures required for
sanitization to occur. See table on previous page for wash programs that have sanitize available
• For sanitization to occur, the temperature of the water needs to reach 700C/1580F. Check that
all items are ‘dishwasher safe’ before running the sanitize modifier.
• f the wash is interrupted or the water supply is turned off during the program, then the heating
conditions for sanitization may not be met. You may need to run the program again to ensure
sanitization of your dishes.
At the end of a wash program with sanitize, always check to make sure that sanitization has been successful.

Removable Tablet Tray
f you are using dishwasher tablets or gel packs, place
them on the removable tablet tray, as shown. See also
‘Adding detergent’ for more information.
Dishwasher tablets should not
be in direct contact with dishes
or cutlery or placed on the
bottom of the drawer.
Removable Small Items Container
(Some Models Only)
• Small, light items like baby bottle teats are best
placed into the small items container to prevent
them from being displaced during the wash.
• You can extend your cutlery basket by clipping the
container on its side.
• To optimize the cutlery space within the basket, the
small items container can be placed elsewhere in
the drawer.
f you lay the container flat, make sure that the solid
plastic side is facing up.
f you place a fully laden container under the cup
racks, it is best to leave the rack space directly
above the container empty - there may not be
enough water reaching items that are placed above.

Loading Suggestions
When loading your drawer, make sure that
• You place items so that water coming from the rotating spray arms below can reach all areas (wash
performance will be reduced if it can’t).
• Nothing blocks the water from getting to items on the foldaway cup racks.
• Glass and other fragile items are stable, so that they do not accidentally topple and break during the wash.

• By overcrowding, wash water will not reach some of
the dinnerware.
• Cups, glasses and bowls must have their openings
facing down.
• The plates are nesting together and wash water
may not get through.
• Ensure cutlery are not nesting or stuck together.
They need to be evenly spread out.
• Ensure dishware items are not forced into or
protrude out of the drawer, as this may prevent the
internal lid of the drawer from properly sealing which
could result in a service call.
• Ensure cutlery has not fallen through the base rack
and stopped the spray arms from rotating.
• The large bowl is blocking wash water reaching
items on the foldaway cup racks.

• Locate sharp items safely to prevent injuring the
user and damage the lid assembly.
• Check the bottom of the cutlery basket to ensure
sharp or slim pointed items have not come through
too far as they may stop spray arm rotation.
• Large utensils should be placed on the foldaway
cup racks so they do not become dislodged and
stop the spray arms from rotating.
• Sharp or pointed items must be placed horizontally
or with sharp edges/pointsfacing down to avoid risk
of injury.
Water Hardness and Dishwashing
What is Water Hardness?
Hard water is water with a high concentration of minerals such as calcium and magnesium. n soft water, this
concentration is low. Water hardness varies by geographical location.
How does Water Hardness Affect Dishwashing?
Hard water can be detrimental to the performance of your dishwasher. Over time, glassware washed in hard water will
become cloudy and dishes will become spotted or covered in a white film. Using very hard water can cause dishwasher
parts to fail over time.
Naturally soft or softened water has no detrimental effects if used with the correct amount of detergent. However, excess
detergent combined with hot, soft water may cause irreversible etching on glassware. Etching first appears as a
rainbow-coloured film and — if allowed to continue — can make glassware permanently opaque.
What Can I do to Minimise any Detrimental Effects?
Contact your local water company to find out about water hardness in your area.
• Some models (those with a letter ‘H’ in the model name) have a built-in water softener.
• Models with water softener are not currently available in New Zealand and Australia.
If your Home has Hard Water and your Dishwasher has no Built-In Water Softener:
• Follow the detergent quantity recommendations on the following pages.
• f available, use a detergent with high phosphate content. Phosphate softens the water and this improves wash
results. f detergent with phosphate is not available, we recommend using multi-purpose tablets.
• Use rinse aid. We recommend you raise the rinse aid setting to 5 to help improve wash performance. See
'Quickstart guide' for instructions.
• Use a dishwasher cleaner/descaler regularly, or whenever you notice a build-up of limescale deposits in your
dishwasher.

f your dishwasher has no built-in water softener and you live in a hard water area, we recommend
fitting a water softener to the household water supply. f the water hardness in your home is above
250 ppm/14.6 gpg (US), a water softener has to be fitted to maintain the performance of your
dishwasher.
If your Home has Naturally Soft or Softened Water:
• Avoid using too much detergent. Follow the quantity recommendations on the following pages.
• Ensure the drawer is not overloaded and water can reach all the dishes.
Wash Programs and Powdered Detergent Quanitities
• Find out about water hardness in your home, then use the table below to determine how much powdered detergent
to use for each wash program. See also section ‘Waterhardness and dishwashing’.
• For information on which program to use for your load, see your ‘Quick start guide’.
• The main powdered detergent dispenser has markings to help you measure the correct quantities. See following
section ‘Adding detergent’.

* f you have a household water softener installed or for models with built-in water softeners, use the quantities
recommended for water with a hardness under 100 ppm/6 gpg, irrespective of the water hardness in your area. See also
section ‘Water softener’.
• f your water hardness is above 625ppm/36 gpg, we highly recommend you completely fill the
main detergent dispenser for all programs except Rinse) and the secondary dispenser for
heavily soiled loads. The rinse aid setting should be at 5.
• f your water hardness is above 625ppm/36 gpg, the wash performance of your dishwasher will
decline.
