CDA recommends the use of separate detergent, rinse aid and dishwasher salt, rather than combination tablets, as separates achieve better wash performance. If you do use combination detergents, add salt and rinse aid to the dishwasher and then adjust the water hardness setting and rinse aid setting to the minimum.
3. Replace the cap and the lower basket. When the ‘Salt Warning’ light on the control panel illuminates, you should refill the salt compartment with salt only – do not add water to the salt compartment after the first use. You should run a programme immediately after adding dishwasher salt, to prevent any damage to the dishwasher systems.
