Using your dishwasher Before first use o Install the appliance as per the installation instructions contained within this booklet. o Fill the water softener with 1 litre of tap water and then fill with specialist dishwasher salt. After this you should set the water softener level.
o It 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. o Refit and fully tighten the water softener cap.
o IMPORTANT: 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.
o If you get water spots and poor drying performance, then you should turn the arrow anticlockwise and increase the setting to the next number. o You should continue to adjust the rinse aid level upwards until you get no water spots. o If you get cloudiness or streaking on your dishes, the rinse aid level is set too high and it is causing foaming during the wash cycle.
