Matsui MF160 Dishwasher Warning Light

jayventus · 09-04-2011, 09:16

Hi,
I've just moved into a place which has the above dishwasher but no manual.

There seems to be 2 warning lights, 1 I guess is low salt and another which has a kind of snowflake icon. The snowflake light comes on when I switch the machine on. I guess it's low in something but never owning a dishwasher I'm not sure what it is.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Also if anyone has or knows where I could get a manual for this that would be appreciated to.

Many thanks,
Jay.

I thought the snowflake icon was LOW SALT

If there are 2 warning lights almost certainly one is low salt and the other low rinse aid. If in doubt top both of them up and see if the warnings go away.

Thanks for that.

I was assuming the other was salt because it has a little 's' in a bowl symbol.

I've put some salt in, not sure where the rinse aid goes though?

Thanks,
Jay

There's probably a screw cap on the inside face of the Door.

As Mick says, inside the door. There's normally a little cap in the same assembly where you put the dishwasher tablet which will need about a quarter-turn to remove. That'll take a surprising amount of rinse aid - my old Indesit used to take about a quarter-bottle.

Thanks all, rinse aid and salt topped up and all's well.

Thats amazing... to say the forum is broadband related

Dishwasher question answered quicker than a broadband one.

Maybe the site should be called DishwasherForum.co.uk

Hi there, I've just found this thread from google. I have an MF160, but can;t for the life of me work out where the salt goes in. I have worked out where the rinse aid goes.
Anyone have any pointers where I should put the salt?
Regards.

The salt container is usually in the bottom of the machine
Is there a large screw cap on the bottom?

For Gods sake this is a cable forum. Surely the OP could see if there is web site or forum for Dishwashers. It never fails to amaze me the questions people ask from a totally inappropriate forum.
I have just been looking at a motoring forum and some idiot was asking questions about the release date for the iphone 5.

The question was asked in the Cableforum Basement Lifestyle section which is allowed.
