These warnings have been provided in the interest of your safety. You MUST read them carefully before installing or using the appliance.

[. . . ] Replace the cap tightly turning it clockwise until it stops with a click. The salt container will require topping up periodically. You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the control panel which comes on when the salt has finished. The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then it will take longer. The function of the machine is not affected. Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal. 13 Rinse aid Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. The dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing programmes, depending upon the dosage setting. Adjusting the dose According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (position 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage). Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades. Filling with rinse aid 1. Open the container by pressing the release button (A). Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The maximum level for filling is indicated by "max". Top up the rinse aid when the indicator light on the control panel illuminates. Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill. Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash. Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers, available also from your local John Lewis store. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e. g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance. 14 Using the Dishwasher q Check if it's necessary to refill with dishwasher salt or rinse aid Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher.
