[. . . ] If you are reasonably handy at DIY, installing your dishwasher should be relatively straight forward as long as you stick to the following guidelines. If you have any doubts about installing this product we suggest you seek professional advice. IMPORTANT The electrical supply, water supply and drain should NOT be positioned directly behind the appliance. When the appliance is located and fixed in position it must be possible to switch off and disconnect both electrical and water supplies. [. . . ] - Pull out the right-hand basket guide; - remove the stop, first releasing it as shown in the diagram; - push the guide to free the wheels; - fit the upper or lower pair of wheels into the guide depending on the setting required; - return the stop to its original position. This will allow large diameter plates to be loaded into the bottom basket. 5 What not to Load Some objects are best washed by hand. These include large silverware items, hand painted crockery, very sot plastics, antique porcelain and utensils with polished wood handles. Since dishwasher detergents tend to be abrasive, "soft" glassware, cut glass, and lead-crystal ware should not be washed in the dishwasher. These days, manufacturers often display the "Dishwasher Safe" stamp on items that are robust enough to cope with regular dishwashing. If you ever hear knocking or a breaking noises during a cycle, stop the machine at once. NEVER OPEN THE DOOR WHILST A CYCLE IS IN PROGRESS Having stopped the machine, wait 15 minutes to allow the crockery to cool down before opening the door to attend to any problem. IMPORTANT NOTE In the interest of general safety do not place long bladed knives in the cutlery basket. These items should be laid flat, so as not to cause potential accidental injury when unloading your dishwasher.

It is inside the plastic ring-nut on the right-hand side inside the dishwasher and allows setting 5 levels. Set the water softener after checking the hardness of your water in accordance with the table below.
