5.1 Loading the Dishwasher
Scrape off large food particles from dishes. Load dishes into the upper and lower baskets, ensuring they do not block the spray arms. Place large utensils and pots in the lower basket. Ensure all items are stable and cannot fall during the wash cycle.
5.2 Adding Detergent, Rinse Aid, and Salt
- Detergent: Add the appropriate amount of dishwasher detergent to the dispenser.
- Rinse Aid: Fill the rinse aid dispenser. The rinse aid indicator light will illuminate when a refill is needed.
- Dishwasher Salt: Fill the salt reservoir. The salt indicator light will illuminate when a refill is needed. The built-in softener helps manage water hardness.

6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning Filters
Regularly check and clean the filters located at the bottom of the dishwasher tub. Remove any food debris to ensure optimal washing performance and prevent blockages.

Periodically check the spray arm nozzles for blockages. If necessary, remove the spray arms and clean the nozzles with a thin wire to ensure water can spray freely.
6.3 Refilling Rinse Aid and Salt
Refill the rinse aid and salt reservoirs when their respective indicator lights illuminate on the control panel. Using dishwasher salt helps the built-in softener effectively remove limescale and metals from the water.
