In order to achieve good cleaning results, the
dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard
water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on
crockery and on the inner surfaces of the appliance.
The dishwasher has a special water softening system
to remove the hardness of the tap water.
Make sure the current setting of water softener
agrees with the hardness, as below.
Check water hardness
1. For optimum performance we recommend the use
of separate detergent, salt and rinse aid.
If the hardness level of the supply water is below 7°dE,
there is no need to use salt in your dishwasher.
Note: If the water hardness level adjustment is set
to level 1, the “No salt warning indicator” will
illuminate continuously although it is not necessary
to use salt. However, if you fill the salt reservoir under
this condition, salt will not be consumed and the salt
indicator will not illuminate.
(If the hardness level of the supply water is above
62°dE or if you are using well water, then it is
recommended to use water purification devices and
special filters.)

Normally the occasional use of ‘P0 SELF CLEAN’ is all
that is necessary to keep the dishwasher internals
clean. Use with dedicated machine cleaning detergent.
Caution: Always switch off the dishwasher.
Cleaning the dishwasher
Do not use abrasive or caustic agents/solvents as
they will damage the appliance.
Caution: Do not use steam cleaners or jet washers.
If the dishwasher is not going to be used for a long
period of time.
•Switch off.
•Turn off the water supply.
•Clean and leave the door ajar.
Wipe clean with a clean damp cloth and mild detergent only.
Then dry with a clean dry cloth.

Exclusive to Howdens
Any brand of powder, gel and all in one tablets that have
been designed for household dishwashers, may be used.
Keep detergents in a cool and dry place and out of the reach of
children.
Detergent must be added to the container before each use.
Detergent overdose may cause scratches on your dishes and
there may be traces of detergent left in your machine.
Three types of detergent are available
• Phosphate and containing chlorine.
• Phosphate containing no chlorine
• Neither containing phosphate nor chlorine
New compact powders are generally phosphate-free. As
phosphates have water softening properties, we suggest you
add salt to the salt container even if the hardness of your water
is as low as a 6 clarke degrees.
In hard water areas if a phosphate free detergent is used, white
marks on the dishes and glasses may be observed. It may be
prevented by increasing the amount of detergent.
Detergents without chlorine have less bleaching effect.
Coloured stains may not be completely removed. This may
be prevented by increasing the amount of detergent, using
a programme with a higher wash temperature or using a
detergent with chlorine.
Warning: Two-in-one and three-in-one detergents.
You will obtain the best results from your dishwasher if you use
separate detergent, rinse aid and water-softening salt.
Detergent manufacturers also produce combined detergents
known as ‘two-in-one’ and ‘three-in-one’.
Two-in-one: These products contain detergent and either rinse
aid or water-softening salt.
Three-in-one: These products contain detergent, rinse aid and
water-softening salt.
In general, you will obtain satisfactory results from combined
detergents only under specific usage conditions. These
detergents contain predetermined amounts of rinse aid and/or
softening salt. This means that you cannot adjust the amount
of water-softening salt and rinse aid required to suit the water
hardness level in your home.
You should bear the following points in mind when using such
detergents:
•Be sure to check the specifications of the product you are
using and whether it is a combined product or not.

Using three-in-one detergent, softening salt and rinse aid.
These detergents will not give you the same drying
performance that you can obtain by using separate detergent,
salt and rinse aid. To increase the drying performance:
•Put your appliance’s rinse aid setting at “1” and apply rinse
aid. When the rinse aid is used up, add more rinse aid to the
rinse aid dispenser.
•If you use combined detergents with a rinse aid setting
higher than 1, hand contact may leave rainbow-coloured
water stains on the washed items and inside the machine.
•If you use combined detergents without adding salt, lime
scale may form especially on glasses.
•To avoid lime scale formation: Put your appliance’s water
softener setting at “1” and add salt. When the salt is used up,
add more salt to the water softener.
Using two-in-one detergent: Detergent and softening salt.
These detergents do not contain rinse aid so you need to use
the rinse aid setting as described in the manual, making sure
that there is rinse aid in the rinse aid dispenser with every wash
and that you refill the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid every
time it is empty.

results.
Insufficient amount of detergent. Increase the amount of detergent, especially when washing
full loads or in hard water areas.
Hard water areas. Increase water softener dosage. Use additional detergent,
increase rinse agent dosage.
Incorrect wash programme selected. Wash using a hotter, longer cycle.
Utensils have surface deterioration. Not possible for water to flow away on surface.
Spray arm needs cleaning. Check the nozzle holes in the spray arms are not blocked with
food debris. Check and clean them periodically.
Improper loading. Follow instructions for use and loading procedures. Place
dishes so that water spray reaches all soiled surfaces. Do not
overcrowd the baskets since this will block the water spray.

periodically.
Over sudsing - pre-washing with a liquid
dish washing detergent.
Rinse items thoroughly before putting them into the
dishwasher to remove dish washing detergent.
Dishes not dry. Improper loading. Load so that all items are properly tilted for good drainage.
Avoid nesting of dishes and/or silverware.

Some plastic dishes and similar products
do not always dry well due to lack of heat
retention.
