Machines with indicator on the panel When the rinse aid has run out and more is needed, the rinse aid symbol on the panel lights up*. Turn and lift up the cover of the rinse aid compartment to the right of the dispenser. This is where you top up and set the amount of rinse aid to be dispensed in each wash. Do not forget to close the cover. Select dosage The dispenser is usually set at 1= soft water. However, depending on the water hardness, it may be necessary to change the dosage. Where the water hardness exceeds 1012 odH you should use rinse aid with citric acid (acid rinse aid) if the dishwasher does not have a water softening filter. If the dishwasher has a water softening filter, dispense as for soft water. If your water is particularly soft, you can dilute the rinse aid (1 part rinse aid, 1 part water). Too much rinse aid can cause streaks on the dishes, while too little can result in water stains. *NB! After filling there may be a short delay before the signal light goes out. Machines with refill indicator There is a refill indicator in the middle of the dispenser (see picture). If the refill indicator is totally black, there is sufficient rinse aid. However, if the indicator has a more transparent appearance, you need to top up with rinse aid (see above). Open Refill indicator Closed Cover for rinse aid Open by turning and lifting the cover! 20 Salt Pour in salt (applies to dishwashers with water softeners) Before using a dishwasher with a water softening filter, you must fill the salt compartment with salt. It is best to fill with salt when you are about to do a wash, as the dishwasher needs to be rinsed out immediately after filling. Place the funnel, which is supplied with the dishwasher, into the compartment's filler hole. Wipe away excess salt so that the cover can be properly screwed into place. Run a Normal wash program so that any salt in the machine is rinsed away. When the salt runs out, unscrew the cover and fill the compartment with salt. A green indicator can be seen in the cover of the salt compartment. Cover for the salt compartment CAUTION! Never pour dishwasher detergent into the salt compartment. The water softener will be ruined! 21 Settings Setting water hardness If you have a dishwasher with a water softener, you may need to change the setting depending on the water's hardness level. Phone your local Water Board to check the water hardness in your area. The dishwasher is set for low water hardness on delivery. L2 L3 L12 L7 L1 L4 L11 L8 L6 L5 L10 L9 1. [. . . ] Check that the height of the machine corresponds to the height from the floor to the underside of the work surface. Start by measuring the height from the floor to the underside of the work surface. After the steel feet have been adjusted, screw down the two rubber feet tightly against the floor. Tilt the dishwasher forward a fraction and roughly adjust the rear foot by screwing the set screw at the front clockwise to raise or anti-clockwise to lower (illustrated below). [. . . ]
