Adding Dishwasher Salt, Detergent use

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.
