When the machine is new pour in 0.5 litre (1 pint) of water and then add 2.0kg (4V^lb) of salt. Note: be careful not to overfill when using tablet salt or you may not be able to refit the salt container cap, keep the salt load down to 1.5kg (3V2lb). Replace the cap and switch the machine to programme 1, which will rinse away any spilled salt solution (see page 12 for using the controls). Salt refill indicator The salt refill indicator is a green float built into the salt container cap. When there is sufficient salt in the machine, you will see the green float through the window in the cap. When the float disappears refill the salt container, remembering to use programme 1 afterwards to rinse away spilled salt solution. 2. Rinse aid Why is rinse aid used? Rinse aid ensures quick drying and avoids the water spots and streaks which normally occur when a wet object is allowed to dry in the air. Important note: only use rinse aid designed for use in dishwashers, do not use normal washing-up liquid. 6 Cleaning the filters This is the most important item of maintenance you have to do. The filters are found in the bottom of the machine on the right-hand side (see page 4). The coarse and fine filters can be lifted out by the handle on the fine filter. They are simply pushed together and are easily separated. They should be cleaned under running tap water after every wash. The microfilter is a push fit into the base of the machine and can be removed by lifting straight upwards. It should be inspected in place after every wash and removed and cleaned when necessary, and at least after every five washes. When replacing make sure that the microfilter clips firmly into place and that the edges are flush with the base of the machine. The coarse and fine filters should then be reassembled and located back inside the microfilter, again with the edges flush with the base of the machine. Coarse filter Fine filter Microfilter 15 When the washing-up is done. The machine stops automatically when the programme is finished. Switching off The first thing you should do is to switch the machine off by pressing the On/ Off switch (the mains light will go out) and switching off the power at the mains socket. Unloading Allow the load to cool for about 15 minutes. It will cool faster if the door is opened and left ajar. Unload the lower rack before the upper rack to avoid any drops of water falling on the lower dishes when the upper rack is moved. Turn off the water If you have finished washing always turn off the water at the stopcock. If you do not have permanent plumbing you will also need to disconnect the water supply and stow the drain hose after emptying it in a bucket. Cleaning your dishwasher 1. Before doing any cleaning check that the electricity supply to the machine is switched off. 2. Clean the spray arms occasionally. To do this, remove the arms (the lower arm clips into place and can be removed by lifting upwards) and brush them under fresh running water or use a mild soap or detergent solution. They need to be kept clean to keep the jets clear and spraying properly. 3. Clean the metal surfaces on the outside of your machine with a damp cloth only. Do not use any abrasive cleaners or metal polishes, otherwise you will damage the protective coating on these parts. 4. If the machine is not going to be used for a long time leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate inside. 14 Filling the rinse aid container The rinse aid container is located on the back of the door (see page 4). Open the container by pressing the red button (arrowed 1), the lid will spring open. Pour in approximately 200 ml (VS pint) of rinse aid. Close the lid firmly so that it clicks shut. Adjusting the rinse aid dispenser The dispenser automatically adds rinse aid to the final rinse. It can be adjusted using the slot as shown (arrowed 2). Any position from 1-4 can be chosen, the higher numbers dispense more rinse aid. We advise a setting between 3 and 4. See pages 16-18 which highlight the faults found on washing with too much or too little rinse aid. Rinse aid refill indicator window When full this window will appear as an opaque red colour (arrowed 3). When the window becomes clear (after about 30 rinses on setting 3) refill the dispenser. 3. Detergent The detergent dispenser is next to the rinse aid dispenser, and it should be filled before each wash. Important note: only use special dishwasher detergent. Do not use ordinary washing-up liquids or washing powders. Filling the detergent dispenser The dispenser will normally be open after a programme has finished. If not press the button underneath and the lid will spring open. The dispenser has two chambers. If you are using a Normal wash programme fill the larger, 25 cc, chamber. If you are using an Economy programme fill the smaller, 15 cc, chamber. (See Programme Guide, page 13). You can of course vary these quantities slightly in the light ...
