Adding Dishwasher Salt
Only use special pelletized dishwasher
salt in your machine to soften the hard
water. Never use other types of salts
including table salt, animal feeding salt,
sea salt, culinary salt. These types of
salt do not dissolve in water easily and
will damage your appliance beyond
repair.
When you run the dishwasher, the
Water softener will be full of water.
Therefore, adding softening salt
should always be done immediately
before you start the dishwasher.
Caution : Only fill with salt just before
starting one of the complete washing
programmes to prevent any grains of
salt causing corrosion. Ensure 1 Litre
of water has been added. You can put
approximately 2 kg softening salt in the
Water softener.
To fill the container with softening
salt, remove the lower rack first and
unscrew the cap of the water softener
turning anti clockwise.
Using the funnel provided will make
filling easier.
After you fill the container, screw cap
tightly back into place turning clockwise
until you hear a click sound.

Detergent use
Any brand of powder, gel and tablet
detergents 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.
