Using Detergents & Additives

Use only dishwasher-specific products.

Detergent: Fill main detergent dispenser (compartment marked). Use tablet, powder, or gel. For delayed start, use tablet in compartment, not in basket.
Rinse aid: Automatically dispensed; adjust dosage via setting (1 low, 5 high) based on water hardness and drying results.
Salt: Refill when salt indicator lights. Only use regenerating salt for dishwashers.
Combined detergents (3-in-1): Can be used; follow manufacturer instructions. May still require salt in hard water areas.

WARNING! Do not use regular washing-up liquid; it causes excessive suds.

Care & Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures longevity and performance.

Clean filters weekly: Remove lower basket, twist and lift out filter assembly, rinse under tap. Wipe door seals and interior with damp cloth. Clean spray arms: Check for blockages, rinse under water. Run empty hot cycle with dishwasher cleaner monthly to remove grease and limescale. Exterior: Clean with mild detergent; do not use abrasive cleaners.

CAUTION! Unplug before any maintenance. Ensure filters are correctly reassembled.
