warning about salt. our dishes were coming out of the dishwasher with a milky sheen. after some enquiries were told to reduce the salt that the machine takes in. this is programmed so needed the book. still no good. so, left the salt door open, ran the machine empty, cleared out all the salt. now just use cheapo asda dishwashing tablets, they contain salt and cleaning compounds, dishes perfect, EXCEPT if you over fill the machine with dishes etc. no need to rinse them first, just scrape off any food into the bin as you would do anyway. wouldn't be without it, and its far more hygenic.
