Dishwasher Instructions

1. Load the machine.
2. Put a dishwasher tab into the soap compartment and close the lid. (The tabs are kept in the cupboard under the left hand sink)
3. Close the door and press the grey knob '1-0'
4. Select the programme you want as shown by the symbols on the right. Use ‘touch pressure’ and the symbol you touched will light up.
5. Then press the "start" knob with the symbol |⃟ (bottom right)
6. If the fastest programme is selected the cycle takes about 11 minutes.
7. You can tell when it is finished because the light under the "start" symbol goes out. Now you can open the dishwasher - but things will still be rather hot, so you might like to wait a minute or two before you empty it (saves drying up too!)

Salt

When the salt symbol is red, it means the machine needs salt. Remove the bottom drawer from the machine, unscrew the black cap on the right on the bottom of the machine and screw in the white plastic salt container containing two kilos of salt (the container and salt are kept in the cupboard ander the left hand sink). Start the machine with the symbol 1-0 and press the salt symbol on the far right. This cycle takes about an hour.

Dishwasher Do's and Don't's

Don't put large plates at the front of the lower rack - they stop the soap container from opening properly.

Do use the extra shelf in the upper rack for cups.

If there is not much cutlery, put it all in one basket and remove the other one.

Do use the lowest setting possible - in most cases the minimum is sufficient (and faster).

DO NOT under any circumstances open the machine while it is running. It does not automatically continue from where it was (as most domestic dishwashers do), but has to be manually restarted from the beginning!
