Function of Detergent
Detergent with its chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt; it breaks down the
dirt to smaller particles and removes them out of the Dishwasher. Most of the commercial
quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.
■Attention:
Proper Use of Detergent
• Use only detergent specifically made for the use in Dishwashers. Keep your detergent
fresh and dry.
• Don’t put powdered detergent into the dispenser until ready to wash the dishes.
Detergents
There are 3 types of detergents:
1. With phosphate and chlorine.
2. With phosphate but without chlorine.
3. Without phosphate and chlorine.
• Normally new pulverised detergent is without phosphate. Thus, the water softener
function of phosphate is not given. In this case, we recommend to fill salt in the Salt
Container even when the hardness of water is below 5 °dH. If detergents without
phosphate and hard water often white spots appear on dishes and glasses. In this
case, add more detergent to reach better results.
• Detergents without chlorine will only slightly bleach, strong and coloured spots will not
be removed completely. In this case, choose a programme with a higher temperature.
Concentrated Detergent
Based on their chemical composition, detergents can be split in two basic types:
1. Conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components.
2. Low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.
Detergent Tablets
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some
detergent tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short
programmes. Therefore, use long programmes when using detergent tablets to ensure the
detergent tablet is completely dissolved.

Detergent Dispenser
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle by following the
instructions provided in the Wash Cycle Table (Page 23). This Dishwasher uses less
detergent and rinse aid than Conventional Dishwasher. Generally, only one tablet of
detergent is needed for a normal wash load. Heavily greased items need more detergent.
Always add the detergent before starting the Dishwasher, otherwise the detergent could get
damp and will not dissolve properly.

Filling the Rinse Aid Dispenser
Rinse Aid Dispenser
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on
the dishware, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water
to roll off the dishware. The Dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids. The Rinse Aid
Dispenser is located next to the Detergent Dispenser. To fill the rinse aid, open the Cap and
pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator turns completely black. The
volume of the rinse aid container is about 110 mL.
Function of Rinse Aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot
and streak free drying.
■Attention:
• 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 Dishwasher.
When Refilling the Rinse Aid Dispenser
When the rinse aid container is full, the Rinse Aid indicator will be completely dark. As the
rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot decreases.
Never let the rinse aid level fall 1/4 full.
As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black
dot on the Rinse Aid Level indicator changes, as
illustrated below.

1. To open the Rinse Aid Dispenser, turn the Cap to the “open” (anti-clockwise) and lift
it out.
2. Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill.
3. Replace the Cap by inserting it aligned with “open” arrow and turning it to the closed

■Note:
Clean up any rinse aid spilled while during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid
excessive foaming during the next wash. Don’t forget to replace the Cap before closing
the Dishwasher door.
Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser
The Rinse Aid Dispenser has six settings. Always start
with the dispenser set on “4”. If still facing spots and
poor drying problem, increase the amount of rinse aid
dispensing by removing the Cap and rotating the dial
to “5”. If the dishes are still not drying properly or spots
remain, adjust the dial to the next higher level until the
dishes are spot-free. The recommended setting is “4”.
(Default value is “4”.)

Water Softener
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 Dishwasher. The higher the
content of these minerals and salts, the harder the water is. The softener should be adjusted
according to the hardness of the water in the user’s area. Local water authority can advise
the hardness of the water in the user’s 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 Dishwasher by pressing the OFF/ON button.
2. Press the Pause/Start button for more than 5 seconds to start the water softener
setting within 60 seconds after the Dishwasher has been switched ON (the Add Salt
and Rinse Aid indicators will be turned on periodically when the setting is selected).
3. Press the Pause/Start button to select the proper setting according to local
environment, the settings will change in the following sequence:
H1->H2->H3->H4->H5->H6.

Note:
• If hard water does not exist in the user’s region, the position should be set at H1.
• The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the
Dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishware and utensils. The Dishwasher is
equipped with a special softener that uses a Salt Container specifically designed to
eliminate lime and minerals from the water.
Filling the Salt into the Softener
The Salt Container is located beneath the Lower Basket and should be filled as explained in
the following:
CAUTION
Only use salt specifically designed for use in Dishwashers. Every other type
of salt not specifically designed for the use in a Dishwasher, 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 just before starting one of the complete washing programs.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled,
from remaining on the bottom of the Dishwasher for any period of time, which
may cause corrosion.
12
Salt Filler
Lid
1. After the Lower Basket has been removed, loosen and remove the Lid from the Salt
Container.
2. Place the end of the Salt Filler into the hole and add about 1.5 kgof Dishwasher salt.
3. Fill the Salt Container full with water. It is normal for a small amount of water to come
out of the Salt Container.

4. After filling the container, tighten the Lid tightly clockwise.
5. The Add Salt indicator will turn OFF after the Salt Container has been filled with salt.
6. Immediately after filling the salt into the Salt Container, a washing programme should
be started. (It is recommended to use a short programme). Otherwise the Filter
Assembly, pump or other important parts of the Dishwasher may be damaged by
salty water. (Out of warranty coverage).
■Note:
1. The Salt Container must only be refilled when the Add Salt indicator, on the
Control Panel light up. Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the Add Salt
indicator may still appear even if the Salt Container is filled.
2. If there are spills of the salt, a soak or a rapid programme should be run to remove
the excessive salt.

Attention Before or After Loading the
Dishwasher Baskets
Follow the loading guidelines for the best performance of the Dishwasher. Scrape off any
large amounts of leftover food. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans.
Place objects in the Dishwasher in the following way:
1. Items such as cups, glasses, pots, pans etc., are faced downwards so that water
cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
2. Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded aslant so that water can run
off.
3. All utensils are stacked securely and cannot tip over.
4. All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotate freely during
washing.
5. Items of dishware and cutlery must not nest together, or cover over each other.

6. To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
7. Load large items which are most difficult to clean in the Lower Basket.
8. The Upper Basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as
glasses, coffee and tea cups.
9. Long knives stored in an upright position may caused injury or damage.
10. Long or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned with sharp
edge facing downward and horizontal in the Cutlery Basket.
11. Do not overload the Dishwasher. This is important for good results and for
reasonable consumption of energy.
■Note:
Very small items should not be washed in the Dishwasher as they could easily fall out of
the basket.
Removing the Dishware
To prevent water dripping from the Upper Basket into the Lower Basket, we recommend to
empty the Lower Basket before the Upper Basket.
The Method of Loading Normal Dishware
Loading the Upper Basket
The Upper Basket is designed to hold
more delicate and lighter dishware such as
glasses, coffee and tea cups and saucers
as well as plates, small bowls and shallow
pans (as long as they are not too dirty).
Position the dishware and cookware so
that they will not get moved by the spray of
water.
