Before doing your first wash
Read the directions of use
Read the directions of use before starting to
use your machine, especially the Safety,
Child Safety and Basic Course sections.
Take care with certain materials
Read the section ‘Fragile dishes’ before
washing china with unglazed decoration or
other household goods made of plastic,
wood or crystal requiring careful treatment.
Check the door
Check that the door of the dishwasher fits
properly: open the door a little and let it go.
Does it stay exactly where you released it?
If not, you should check the installation
instructions or consult the installer.
Check water hardness level
Phone your local Water Board to check the
water hardness in your area. This is important
when dispensing dishwasher detergent and
rinse aid.
Machine with water softener
Once you know the water hardness, adjust
the water softener (see
Settings chapter).
Before you begin washing, you may also
need to fill up the salt (see
Salt
chapter).
Do you have a machine with a
water softener?
If you are unsure whether your machine has a
water softener, see the illustration. If there is a
cover cap in the bottom of the machine, it has
a water softener and needs to be filled with
salt. See the
Salt
chapter.
*NB!
After filling, there may be a short delay before
the signal light goes out.
CAUTION!
Never pour dishwasher detergent into the
salt compartment. This will damage the
water softener
Cover for the salt compartment
*NB!
Water softener is not used in Australia or
New Zealand.
