Loading the salt into the softener

Always use salt intended for use with dishwasher. The salt container is located beneath the basket and should be filled as follows:

WANING

• Only use salt specifically designed for dishwashers use!
  Every other type of salt not specifically designed for dishwasher use, 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 before running a cycle.
  This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.

A. Remove the basket and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container.

B. Before first wash, add 1lt. of water in the salt container of your machine.

C. Place the end of the funnel (if supplied) into the hole and introduce about, 0.13kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container.

D. After filling the container, screw the cap tightly back clockwise.

E. Usually, the salt warning light will be cease to be illuminated within 2-6 days after the salt container has been filled with salt.

F. Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing programme should be started (Suggest choose rapid program). Otherwise filter system, pump or other important parts of the machine may be damaged by salty water. It is out of warranty.

NOTE

• The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light in the control panel comes on. Depending on how fully the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be on even though the salt container is filled.
  If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (For some Models), you can judge when to load the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher had run.
• If there are spills of the salt, a soak or a rapid program should be run to remove the excess salt.

Attention before or after loading the dishwasher baskets

(For the best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of baskets and cutlery baskets may vary from your model.)

Scrape off any large food paritcles. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water. Place objects in the dishwasher in following way:

• Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are face downwards.
• Curved items, or those with recesses, should be loaded at aslant so that water can run off.
• All utensils are stacked securely and can not tip over.
• All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotated freely during washing.

NOTE Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the basket.

• Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. with the opening facing downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.

• To avoid damage to glasses, they must not be touched.
• Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard!
• Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the basket.
• Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and for reasonable energy consumption.

Use of the dishware support

Adding the detergent

WANING

• Only use detergent specifically for dishwashers.

Never use any other detergents. This will damage the appliance.

• Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children.

Concentrated Detergent

Based on their chemical composition, detergents can be split in two basic types:

• Conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components.
• Low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.

The use of Normal washing program in combination with concentrated detergent reduces pollution and is good for your dishes.

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 programs. Therefore please use long programs when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.

Detergent

The detergent must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the Wash Cycle Table. Your dishwasher uses less detergent then conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. More heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.
