Loading your Dishwasher
The dishwasher is designed to receive a standard “4 piece”
plate setting.
- NOTE: for ease of loading/unloading large size dinner
plates from the dish rack it may be necessary to
(temporarily) remove the cutlery basket. When
loading/unloading is complete, return the cutlery basket
to its original position.
Preparing your Dishes for Washing
- Scrape off all solid food particles from the dishes.
- Remove excessive quantities of oil or grease.
- Empty any liquids from glasses and cups.
- NOTE: Dishes with dried-on foods are more difficult to
wash and may not come clean in a normal wash cycle.
- Arrange all items with recessed or curved sections on a
slant to drain water away.
- Cups, pots, glasses, etc should be placed upside
down.
When loading items to be washed:
- Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to
damage the door seal.
- Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the
risk of cut-type injuries
- Do not load plastic items unless they are marked
“dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items
not so marked, check the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
- Do not load glasses over the dish rack pins. Glasses
loaded over dish rack pins are not properly supported
and are likely to get damaged.
- Items with wooden or bone handles and items joined
together with glue are unsuitable as they cannot resist
hot water.
- Do not touch the heating element during or immediately
after use.
- Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure
panels are properly in place.
- Do not tamper with controls.
- Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the open door or dish-
rack of the dishwasher. The machine may topple over.
- Protect cables and hoses from high temperatures.
- To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to
operate or play with the dishwasher.
Using the Right Detergent
Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers,
as other types will cause over-sudding. If your detergent is
old and/or lumpy, throw it away. Old detergent loses its
washing power. Lumpy detergent won’t dissolve.
How much Detergent Should You Use
That depends if your water is ‘hard’ or ‘soft’.
HARD WATER REQUIRES MORE DETERGENT TO GET
DISHES CLEAN.
SOFT WATER REQUIRES LESS DETERGENT TO GET
DISHES CLEAN.
- The recessed detergent area located on the inside door
panel will hold max 20 grams of detergent.
How to use the water softener
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard
water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will be formed on
the dishes and utensils. This appliance is equipped with a
water softener which uses a salt specifically designed to
eliminate the minerals from the water.
How to load the salt into the softener (must be loaded prior to
first use !)
1. Unscrew the cap from the salt container anticlockwise,
which is located on the right side of the inner box.
2. Load the salt into the container. Each time you may
load 250g of salt, which can be used for 15 cycles.
3. Fill the water into the salt container until a small amount
of water comes out. (It is very important when you use it
for the first time)
4. Screw the cap back carefully.
Note:
1. Load the salt before the beginning of wash cycle so as
to prevent corrosion.
2. Only use dishwasher salt (fine or coarse).
3. Please add the salt when the salt indicator bright.
Using a Rinsing Agent
You can help prevent unsightly spots on dishes and
glassware, and reduce drying time by using a rinse agent. A
rinse agent is specially formulated to rinse away food and
detergent residues that can be left behind on your dishes.
Used regularly, a rinse agent will automatically provide you
with cleaner dishes every time you wash.
To fill the rinse agent dispenser, unscrew the dispenser cap
located on the inside back. Add the rinse agent slowly into
the container until it just reaches the bottom of the filling cap
inside the dispenser opening. Replace the cap. The dispenser
automatically releases the rinse agent into the final rinse
water.
Note: Clean off large particles of food sediments before
placing dishes in the dishwasher.
Connected to Cold water: Use the “SANI” feature
If you have connected the washer to a cold water supply, you
will need to leave it in the “SANI” setting. The “SANI” feature
gives you the option of washing/drying dishes at high water
temperatures. When activated, the “SANI” feature energizes a
heating element that will raise and maintain the internal water
temperature of the dishwasher at 62ºC.
! CAUTION !
Water temperatures this high can cause severe
burns/scalding. Always exercise extreme care when
opening and/or entering the dishwasher during the hot -
wash cycle.
To activate this feature, set the “SANI/ECONO” button to the
“in” position.
