Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

  • Set the water softener.
  • Add 1.5Kg dishwasher salt and then fill the salt container with water.
  • Fill the Rinse Aid dispenser.
  • Fill in detergent.

WATER SOFTENER

The water softener must be set manually, using the water hardness dial. The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance. The more minerals there are, the harder your water is. The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.
ADJUSTING SALT CONSUMPTION
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjustment in the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimise and customise the level of salt consumption.
Please follow the steps below for adjustment in salt consumption.

  1. Switch on the appliance;

  2. Press the Program button for more than 5 seconds to start the water softener set model within 60seconds after the appliance was switched on;

  3. Press the Program button to select the proper set according to your local environment, the sets will change in the following sequence:
    H1->H2->H3->H4->H5->H6;

  4. Press the Power button to end the set up model.

LOADING THE SALT INTO THE SOFTENER
NOTE:
The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as explained in the following:
WARNING
ONLY USE SALT SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR DISHWASHERS USE:
Every other type of salt not specifically designed for dishwasher use, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. In case of damages caused by the use of unsuitable salt the manufacturer does not give any warranty nor is liable for any damages caused.
ONLY FILL WITH SALT BEFORE RUNNING A CYCLE.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
Please follow the steps below for adding dishwasher salt:

caple DI641 Dishwasher - dishwasher salt

  1. Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.
  2. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and pour in about 1.5kg of dishwasher salt.
  3. Fill the salt container to its maximum limit with water, It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container.
  4. After filling the container, screw back the cap tightly.
  5. The salt warning light will turn off after the salt container has been filled with salt.
  6. Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing program should be started (We suggest to use a short program). Otherwise the filter system, pump or other important parts of the machine may be damaged by salty water.

NOTE:
The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light ( ) in the control panel comes on. Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be on even though the salt container is filled.
If salt has spilled, run a soak or quick program to remove it.
INSE AID AND DETERGENT DISPENSER
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to roll off thedishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids. WARNING
Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.
WHEN TO REFILL THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
Unless the rinse-aid warning light ( ) on the control panel is on, you can always estimate the amount from the colour of the optical level indicator located next to the cap. When the rinse-aid container is full, the indicator will be fully dark. The size of the dark dot decreases as the rinse- aiddiminishes. You should never let the rinse aid level be less than 1/4 full.
As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below.
Full
¾ full
½ full
¼ full – Should refill to eliminate spotting
Empty
FUNCTION OF DETERGENT
The chemical ingredients that compose the detergent are necessary to remove, crush and dispense all dirt out of the dishwasher. Most of the commercial quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.
WARNING
Proper Use of Detergent. Use only detergent specifically made for dishwashers use. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put powdered detergent into the dispenser until you are ready to wash dishes.
Dishwasher detergent is corrosive. Keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children.
FILLING THE RINSE AID RESERVOIR

  1. Remove the rinse aid reservoir cap by rotating it counterclockwise.
  2. Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill.
  3.  Close the rinse aid reservoir cap by rotating it clockwise.

NOTE:
Clean up any spilled rinse aid with an absorbent cloth to avoid excessive foaming during the next wash.
ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID RESERVOIR
Turn the rinse aid indicator dial to a number between 1 and 6. The higher the number, the more rinse aid the dishwasher uses. If the dishes are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number until your dishes are spot-free. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish stains on your dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades. FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER

  1. Open the detergent dispenser flap by pushing the detergent dispenser release catch.
  2. Add detergent into the larger cavity (A) for the main wash cycle . For better cleaning result, especially if you have heavily soiled items, pour a small amount of detergent onto the door. The additional detergent will activate during the pre-wash phase.
  3. Close the flap by sliding it to the left and then pressing it down.

NOTE:
Please observe the manufacturer’s recommendations on the detergent packaging.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR LOADING THE DISHWASHER
Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water. For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines.
Place objects in the dishwasher in the following way:

  • Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are faced downwards.
  • Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded aslant so that water can run off.
  • All utensils are stacked securely and cannot tip over.
  • All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.
  • Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. With the opening facing downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
  • Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
  • To avoid damage, glasses should not touch one another.
  • The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups.
  • Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard!
  • Long and / or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.
  • Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and for reasonable consumption of energy.

NOTE:
Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the basket.
REMOVING THE DISHES
To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower basket, we recommend that you empty the lower basket first and then the upper basket.
WARNING
Items will be hot.
To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher for around 15 minutes after the program has ended.
LOADING THE UPPER BASKET
The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty). Position the dishes and cookware so that they will not get moved by the spray of water. Please be reminded that:

  • Pots, serving bowls, etc., must always be placed top down.
  • Deep pots should be slanted to allow water to flow out.
  • The Bottom Basket features folding spikes so that larger or more pots and pans can be loaded.

LOADING THE LOWER BASKET
We suggest that you place large items and the most difficult to clean items into the lower basket: such as pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure (right). It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm. LOADING THE CUTLERY BASKET
Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery rack separately from each other in the appropriatepositions, and do make sure the utensils do not nest together, this may cause bad washing performances.
WARNING
Do not let any item extend through the bottom. Always load sharp utensils with the sharppoint down.

The dishes arenot drying| Improper loading| Load the dishwasher as suggested in the directions.
Too little Rinse Aid| Increase the amount of Rinse Aid/refill the Rinse Aid dispenser.
Dishes are removed too soon| Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one. This will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.
