diplomat dishwasher

[clan4]

I have 2 red lights on my dishwasher. One is beside a sort of ‘snowflake’ and the other is beside 2 arrows forming an S. I am sure one is about adding salt but when I took the cap off to add salt the hole was full of water. Any help appreciated as I can’t find my manual. 😕

Re: diplomat dishwasher

The Snowflake is for the dishwasher rinse aid and the other is for the dishwasher salt.

The salt compartment will be full of water if there is no salt in it.Just add salt and water will come out.You have to fill it completly.It may take upto 1/2kg of the dishwasher salt to fill it up.

Just to remind you that salt and rinse aid are special dishwasher salt and rinse aid not the kitchen salt and the fairy liquid(people have put such things in the dishwasher).

Let us know if any more help is needed.

Thanks. I was told that I didn’t need to add these, because of the area we live in and the type of dishwasher tablets used but I’ll top them up anyway. Glad I found this site – v. useful! Thanks again. 😀

Well Much of England is hard water area.If you live in an area where the water is soft then you do not need to use the dishwasher salt.

If you use the 3 or 4 in one tablets then they have salt in it but with the feedback from others it is better to use seperae salt and rinse aid.

Re: diplomat dishwasher

The salt water is used to regenerate the wate softener unit and as such the salt water solution never enters the dishwasher itself. Therefore, having salt as part of a multi-function tablet is a completely pointless exercise.
