If your water is harder than this, you can increase the capacity of the water softener by pulling out the rubber plug at the rear of the dishwasher on the left hand side viewed from the back. Contact your local Water Authority to find the exact water hardness level for your area. Never run the dishwasher without salt in the container as this may damage the water softener.

If the door is opened slightly after a completed programme the dishes will dry faster. 4 Salt indicator lamp The operating lamp indicates when the salt needs to be replenished. The lamp may remain lit for one or more programmes after refilling the salt container, this is normal. -6- How to load the dishwasher The illustration shows the machine loaded with five standard place settings. Your own dishes are not likely to be identical to this load, but if you follow the advice below we are sure you will be pleased with the results. · Always place glasses, cups and bowls upside down. · Incline deep dishes (soup plates etc. ) so that the water can run off when drying. · Make sure that the dishes do not rest against each other. This is particularly important in regard to the cutlery basket - nested spoons, etc. The water must get at all the soiled surfaces. · Make sure that cutlery with slender handles and other items do not protrude through the openings in the basket and prevent the spray arm from rotating. · Never put silver and stainless steel objects together. When these metals come into contact with each other a chemical reaction occurs which stains the silver. If an engineer is called to resolve a problem listed below or to repair a fault caused by incorrect installation or mis-use a charge will be made, even if the appliance is under guarantee. Fault The machine will not start. Check s Is the door closed properly?s Have you set the programme knob properly? [. . . ] We would advise you to have a shut-off valve or stopcock in the water supply pipe close to the dishwasher and accessible for easy use. This should be turned off when the appliance is not in use. Connect the inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4" pipe thread. The inlet hose must not be joined onto any form of extension hose. [. . . ]
