Good explanation mam.tq In my dishwasher hardness setting is kept 4 by the technician But when I had filled salt for the first time,1kg salt was not absorbed by the machine.Then technician filled the salt by stirring with spoon.Is it correct mam? For the past 6 months the machine did not indicate " refill salt". Is there any block in the salt compartment? Every one month interval, the machine indicates "refill rinseaid". Is there any block in the salt compartment? I am much worried. Please clarify my doubt.
Can you please specify your brand and model number? Also I would like to know your water hardness. I don't think stirring makes any difference. Anyway there seems to be an issue with your salt sensor. Btw, how is the cleaning in all these months? Please reply so that I can help you.
Dam, i have never ever re-filled rinse aid or salt in my dishwasher in last 15 years, and now was looking up on TH-cam why it's not cleaning properly. Haha thank you so much for this simple and short video.
Hi Kapil Dev Sharma, you're right. Rinse aid and salt do have their respective uses in obtaining very good cleaning results of utensils. It's nice that you've been using a dishwasher since 15 years. Glad that you found my video helpful. Thank you.
@@BhuvanaAdi even me 2 times only used salt...in these 4 yrs..forgot totally about it..because the machine will prompt if its finished... Mine..liquid only often gets over...
Hi where do you live? Without adding salt were you getting good cleaning? If so I think your water must be very soft or you must be using only tablets. If not which detergent are you using always? Eager to know. Surprising that your salt indicator isn't working/blinking. By any chance have you kept your salt setting at 0? Please check. Either that must be the case or the salt indicator must be faulty, else by now you should have got the indication of salt being low.
@@BhuvanaAdi yes Exactly....salt setting.. as such I don't have any option in my machine... More or iam not using tablets.and my washing is not good..if I simply load in ma hine it doesn't wash.. I will wash once and load.thats what I am fed up and having servant now... That's why I checked utube
Thank you for this lesson. I am an American in Germany for a while. I don't have the dishwasher instruction booklet so your instruction is appreciated. Cheers!
Wonderful! The way you have explained and simplified the process. Even the Bosch official video is amateurish when compared to your video. Bosch should hire you!!!!!!
Hi Srinivas, for the very first time, fill 1 litre of water or till the top of the salt chamber and then add 1kg of salt. Keep adding salt even if the water overflows.
Hi I have just brought a Siemens dishwasher and have used it with finish all in one tablets. Since I don’t have a full load of vessels every day I would like to try using the detergent rinse aid and salt combo. I live in Navi Mumbai. We get municipal water supply which is soft. Am not sure about what should be the salt and rinse aid settings as the technician did not know himself. If I use the lowest settings that is 01 for both will it leave a white film? The all in one tablets work very well without any salt or rinse aid added in the auto mode. Thanks 🙏
Hi, for the kind of soft water in Mumbai, the lowest setting of salt and rinse aid is okay when used with detergent. Also you can use very little quantity of detergent. Many Mumbai viewers write that they even avoid using salt and rinse aid. I would not recommend that though. In case you are happy with the tablet and you have only half load, you can try using half tablet. I've done this many times and found it effective. I'm sure you should not be getting any white film with the above settings. In case you happen to get it regularly, you can increase the setting by one level. Thanks.
Hi mam The salt tank doesn't have water in it even after multiple uses. Now I want to add salt to it(since salt indicator has shown up). So, should I add water manually into it and then add salt to it ? Please tell how much water to add.
Yes you have to add about 1 litre water into salt chamber, then add at least 1 kg salt into the chamber. Keep on filling the entire 1 kg salt even if the water overflows. Thanks.
Mam, I have one month old IFB neptune vx plus dishwasher, it was not cleaning properly even after required salt & rinse aid settings. There was a white film on every utensil, which I have to clean with damp cloth or wash it under tap water. I have tried increasing and decreasing of salt and rinse aid settings but the cleaning is still not good enough. Increasing rinse aid leads to foaming of utensils . Then I tried adding a half a tea spoon or 2- 3 pinch of table salt with fortune detergent (I only add the table salt to detergent compartment),salt & rinse aid as per manual and the result was surprisingly very good. Should I continue to do so?? Or it will harm my dishwasher in longer terms?
@S Sinha, Sorry for the delay in replying. Actually the manufacturers ask us to use pure Sodium Chloride. Table salt has iodine and anti caking agents. I am not sure whether these will harm the machine in the long run. Hopefully it should not cause any damage. Since it is a small quantity you are using, you could continue using it. I am surprised how this is effective and am trying to understand this. Anyway thanks for sharing.
Thank u thank u thank u so much mam... I was so much concerned when refilling salt about the water in the salt dispenser. I thought I had made some mistake.. so that the water is stagnant inside the salt diapenser. I was waiting to get the clarification before i call service man. I decided to watch some video about re filling salt first before call the person. Now i relieved from my confusion... Thank u mam and YOU TUBE once again

Sharing the link of the playlist. In case of any other doubts on the subject, watch the other videos. Dishwasher Demo Series: th-cam.com/play/PLvZ681nV6tYrXkjwrFQC7-MSnWRNpfsq2.html Thank you.
Thank you Can u send link for how to load vessels..means how u prepare vessels to load..araangingi know but ..as I told u I use to wash.. I want th exact thing.. My friends say they just remove food particles and arrange it inside..
Hi @Nagarathinam, I'm sure in most households people soak their used utensils with water until they are washed. This is usually done for manual wash. I follow the same for dishwasher as well. After emptying cooked vessels I keep them under water in the sink. Before loading in the dishwasher, I just throw the water and load them. This way the stuck particles also easily come off. Yes there are many people who do not like to keep any dishes in the sink, so they keep loading dishes as and when they are finished/used, by just removing big particles stuck on them. You can do that. But only thing is you have to choose the correct program cycle and the right brand and quantity of detergent to get good cleaning. In many of my Dishwasher demo videos (I have uploaded 50 videos in all, covering various topics, till date) I have shown loading and arranging the dishes. I am sharing links of all the videos as a playlist here. Please watch each of them fully whenever you find time. I'm sure you will find them informative and helpful as well and will clear lot of your doubts.

Helloo...Awesome videos..I have bought a new dishwasher and i am trying to learn the usage from your videos.I have few queries. 1.I would like to know is rinse aid mandatory?Can i use without adding rinse aid? 2.What is the difference between Detergent powder and Detergent Tablets? Awaiting for your reply.
Hi Sabeena Alnuhasi. Thank you very much for your appreciation. I am happy my videos are helping you learn and become familiar with your new dishwasher. Hope this helps make your life easier. Regarding your queries, my point wise reply is as follows -- 1. Many people have asked me this and I want to say that rinse aid is not mandatory. Company recommends the use of rinse aid but if you have any doubts you are free NOT to use it. I don't think it affects the cleaning in any way. Rinse aid only helps in the last stage, ie. drying of the utensils. If you are not using rinse aid, the only difference is that the utensils after wash may not be dry and may have water drops on them. 2. Detergent powder is only the cleaning soap. There is no rinse aid or salt in it. Whereas the detergent tablets are a mix of detergent, rinse aid and salt (all in one). You could check out my videos where I have made a comparison of the different detergents and tablets. Besides I have also posted videos showing individual results of different detergents and tablet. If you go through the playlist below, you will get all the different videos posted by me - th-cam.com/video/cAPJ-0r_SlU/w-d-xo.html Thank you once again and all the best. In case you have any more doubts, feel free to write to me.
@@BhuvanaAdi Thanks a ton for the reply.... 1.So if I put tablet in dishwasher means there is no need to put salt and detergent separately?? 2.If buying these from online which websites can I get in cheaper price?? Awaiting for reply...
Hi, You have understood right only partly. My answers to your queries : - A1) I have not mentioned in my earlier reply that you need not use rinse aid and salt provided your water is very soft. If your water is hard, then based on the water hardness you will have to adjust your rinse aid and salt setting. In case water in your locality is soft, and you will only be using tablets, then you can set both rinse aid and salt to zero or at the most to the minimum setting, as specified in your user manual. This is because the manufacturer does not recommend running salt and rinse aid compartment empty. Because even soft water has dissolved salts to some extent. Using rinse aid and salt by keeping them in minimum setting will help you extend the life of the machine, by protecting from lime scale formation. A2) To the best of my knowledge, you can get all your consumables for dishwasher and a good price from Amazon.in. I am sharing the buying link below : amzn.to/2NbAncc - Finish Powerball Classic - 110 Tablets amzn.to/2P2xvzW - Finish All in 1 Max Powerball, 60 Tablets amzn.to/2RgswNF - Finish Dishwasher Salt 2kg amzn.to/2P2riUR - Finish Rinse Aid, Shine & Dry- 400 ml amzn.to/2xQHVw6 - Crystale Dishwasher Tablets - 100 Count amzn.to/2NUOXtD - Crystale Starter Combo - Dihswasher Tablet and Dishwasher Salt amzn.to/2NTNdAZ - Crystale Dishwasher Rinse Aid forCrystal Shine - 500 ml You can click the links to find the FINISH brand products as well as Crystale products.

Hope I have answered your queries satisfactorily. Thank you.
Hello Bhuvana ji. We have a Bosch dishwasher that we recently purchased. I wanted to ask you- if we add salt and rinse aid in required quantities, can we switch between using a dishwasher powder and tablet( which already has salt, detergent and rinse aid) ?
Yes you can do that. I always do that. But in case you're going to use tablets for a longer period, it would be better to reduce the salt and rinse aid setting. Also adjust the setting based on your water hardness. If your water is very soft, while using tablet you can set salt and rinse aid to zero or at 01, depending on your cleaning results.
How much salt it will consume in a month, daily once. Because mine is asking to refill after 3 to 4 cycles. I filled to full tank. Should I remove some water and fill it with salt. Tried both Bosch and finish with same result. Can you help me out
Hi Rajesh, salt consumption depends on the hardness(salt) setting in your machine. Check at what level you have kept the salt setting. If your setting is high and the water is hard, consumption will be faster. You need not and should not remove water. If the salt indicator light is ON, add more salt. Maybe you did not fill enough salt the very first time. Fill at least half a kilo of salt.
Hi thanks for video! How often does salt need refilling do you think? We’ve had first ever dishwasher for 2 months and the light has yet to come on. Thank you.
Hi Jamie, thanks for your query. Since it is just two months of your dishwasher, I am sure you must have filled a good amount of salt the very first time which is why the salt light indicator has not come on. Also how much salt is consumed is dependent on the salt setting in your machine, which is usually done on the basis of water quality. Soft water consumes less salt and hard water much more. I have soft water in my locality and hence i have adjusted my salt setting to 1. For this setting and my usage of mixed cycle of long and short program, I can roughly say that 1 kg lasts about 4 - 6 months. You can arrive at the frequency of refilling salt and the quantity required by noting 2 to 3 consecutive times when the light comes on, by noting how much you refill in between. Hope this answers your query. Thanks.
Hi ma'am, Thanks for your guidance :) Can we run the dishwasher without rinse aid? I will get the rinse aid delivered tomorrow only.. Require your expert advise :) Thank you
Hi Seshsapriya, you can run dishwasher without rinse aid. Rinse aid is mainly for drying dishes and give a spotless cleaning to the dishes. You can leave the door open after the program completes and let it dry naturally for some time before removing the dishes.
Yes you have to fill water the first time you fill salt in any dishwasher. I have shown this in LG dishwasher as well as in Voltas Beko tabletop dishwasher. You can watch them here: Filling salt in LG dishwasher- th-cam.com/video/pIFZpinuMbU/w-d-xo.html Filling salt in Voltas Beko: th-cam.com/video/TKO8kdDHeLw/w-d-xo.html The procedure is more or less the same. Some brands recommend adding water simultaneously, or later. In Bosch you have to add water first, i e. full till the top of the compartment and then add the salt. The water will overflow, but you can keep adding almost a kilogram of salt. I'll make a video of this in a day or two. Thanks.
Hi Sudha, I do not pre rinse the dishes. I keep the dishes soaked in water and then load them in the dishwasher after throwing away the water. This way any stubborn food particles or grease get softened and cleaning becomes easier and very effective. I follow this method even while doing hand wash, where we scrub the dishes. There is no scrubbing in the dishwasher, so it is difficult to remove stubborn dirt, grime and grease from dishes unless they are soaked. But soaking is required only if you are going to load all the dishes at one go. If you are loading the dishes immediately after use/emptying the contents, then you just need to remove the large food particles, vegetable remnants etc. before loading. If your machine has pre wash option, you can use that option before running the actual programme. I hope I have made myself very clear and answered your query satisfactorily. Thank you.
Mam salt refill jb karna hai toh kya phir se one kg karna hai ya kam kar sakte hain? Aur salt refill karke kya dubara se quick wash karna hai without utensils?
Hi, I left the salt lid open after refilling in my Voltas Beko dishwasher. The dishes looked foggy and stained. Do I need to drain out the salt compartment given it was left open during a wash cycle? Also could it have done any damage to the machine?
Hi aayushailawadi, sorry for the delay. You could try the following - Pour at least 2 to 3 litres water into the salt compartment even if the water overflows. This should hopefully remove the rinse aid/detergent that could have got into it. Remember to close the lid this time. You could then place a container normally (not upside down) in the lower rack and run an empty cycle. At the end just observe from the collected water in the container whether soapy, etc. If yes, repeat the above process once more. After that, add at least 1 kg salt in the salt compartment, close the lid. Use the dishwasher normally. Any residual contamination of the salt compartment should go off after a few cycles. I am not aware whether your lapse could have caused any damage to the water softener in the dishwasher. Thanks.
@@BhuvanaAdi as per what I read in the manual if the detergent gets into the salt container it may cause some problems to the water softening functionality of the machine.
Do you mean the salt indicator light is still ON? How did the salt get hardened and stuck in the chamber? Did you keep the salt level setting at 0? If not, let me know your settings. Hope you have been using the dishwasher regularly.
@@BhuvanaAdi Thank you mam, Technician is suggesting me for a water softener costing around 1000 Rs. as the water we use is 75% soft water. So, mam is it necessary to use water softener. Pls reply. Thank you.
@@BhuvanaAdi mam, during the demo. The cycle was Express Sparkle 59mins using Finish Tablet n the wash outcome was good. But next day my wife chose Quick cycle 29mins using tablet n there was soapy latherlike on dishes. Then inspite of continuing again prerinse 15mins . It was of no use. Pls guide us mam. We are given Finish 30 tablets free from Bosch. Pls help.
Hi Spanda, I am assuming that the technician did not add salt in your dishwasher. In which case the salt chamber will be dry. If the technician has loaded salt when he came, then he should have put water. Please check that. The correct procedure for first time filling is - I am reproducing from the manual - 1. Open the salt compartment 2.Fill the compartment with water (only required the first time). 3. Add dishwasher salt (not necessary till the top). Even about half kg salt is enough. As you add salt, water will get displaced and run out. It is normal. 4. Close the compartment. On the panel, the salt indicator lamp will go OFF. That means salt has been filled adequately. When the salt level goes down, the light will again come ON, then we have to add salt again (without adding any water). Hope this is clear. Thank you.
Hi Sachin, salt is for softening of hard water (to avoid limescale formation) and rinse aid is for drying the dishes and to give them a spotless cleaning at the end of the cycle. I've explained about this in my video link below: th-cam.com/video/-jHUQwX82l4/w-d-xo.html Please watch it. Thanks.
Hi mam, got installed my bosch dishwasher today. The boy who came for demo used the finish tablet. And he said that one tablet lasts for three cycles. But, to my surprise the whole tablet got used up. And the lid of the compartment for detergent has been open after the cycle. Is it normal? Does the lid opens up automatically after finishing the cycle? Please clarify...
Hi Latha, congrats on your new dishwasher. Sad that the demo person did not inform you rightly. Actually whatever detergent or tablet you put in the detergent compartment, will get used up during the chosen wash cycle. Actually once the program starts the lid opens and the tablet falls on the middle portion of the top rack. From there it gets used for washing and cleaning the dishes. So it is very normal that the lid opens up. You don't have to worry about that.
Once you've filled 1 kg of salt and rinse aid, you are ready to wash your dishes by selecting the desired program cycle and adding the required detergent based on soiling. There is no need to run an empty cycle.

Hi Jaishree, thanks for your query. If your water is hard , your dishwasher is prone to scale formation which reduces efficiency, thereby increasing the requirement for salt and detergent. Based on how frequently scaling happens and the amount of scaling, you would have to descale. I will shortly upload a video on this. Please check out for the same. Thank you.
Ma'am can you please make a video on how to use dushwashing tablets ? Which brand is best?how long tablets will last etc. I am planning to purchase for my mom. Kindly oblige.
Hi Pallavi, thanks for your query. I have actually made several videos on detergent and tablet usage for dishwasher. I have shared below the playlist of all my dishwasher demo videos. One of the video shows comparision of various detergents and tablets, how good they are, their physical properties, etc. There are other single videos in which I have shown dishwashing using different detergent brands and tablets. Please watch them. In case you still have doubt, you can write to me. th-cam.com/play/PLvZ681nV6tYrXkjwrFQC7-MSnWRNpfsq2.html
Hi Manjoo, agar aap regularly tablet use karne wale ho to salt and rinse aid setting kam kar dijiye. Agar wash quality achchi ho to continue kijiye, nahi to refill karni padegi. Try kijiye aur muje batayiye. Thank you.
The salt chamber will have water always, if you've filled salt and water together the very first time before using the machine. Each time the salt level goes down, you've to just refill salt in the chamber.
Hi palanikumar s, I am sure you have measured your water hardness and have set the salt consumption accordingly. Please inform whether you are getting white layer in both long and short cycles. Normally you should not get in short cycles which are at lower temperatures. White layer forms when hard water mixes with detergent at high temperature. Please try using shorter cycles to overcome white layer. In long cycle try adding one tsp of citric acid along with detergent and observe the result. The white layer should reduce or go away. Thank you.
Bhuvana Adi so kind of u to reply my query. I initially kept long run with 70 temperature and used powder detergent. My Vessels all almost got white layers I also kept aluminium cooker during that cycle. Then we changed to tablet n kept lesser temp say 50 or 60. My doubt now can I try detergent with lesser temp. Can I use citrus salt and keep those layered Vessels n wash again in dishwasher?. Please suggest
It depends on your water hardness levels. The Beko manual online advises the usage of salt. Dishwasher salt is not only used for hard water softening, but it aids in good cleaning and rinsing of dishes. Also it prolongs the life of the dishwasher by not forming scales. Maintaining salt level helps to get optimum performance from the machine giving better cleaning results. I would suggest you use salt, unless of course you use an all-in-one tablet.
Hi Uday, just keep adding salt till you fill a kg, even if the water starts overflowing if it is for the first time before using the dishwasher. I've shown this being done in the LG dishwasher demo video series. Please watch that on my channel. Thank you.
Hi, good question. Dishwasher salt is not only used for hard water softening, but it aids in good cleaning and rinsing of dishes. Also it prolongs the life of the dishwasher by not forming scales. Maintaining salt level helps to get optimum performance from the machine giving better cleaning results. Hence it is advised to maintain a certain level of salt even in areas having soft water. First of all you have to get your water hardness tested. Based on which the instructions in your dishwasher manual will help you do the correct salt setting. I too have very soft water, but I still add salt in my dishwasher, keeping the minimum salt level setting. I have observed that salt consumption is very less as water in our area is soft. I hope I have answered your query satisfactorily. Thank you for watching.
Hi Nikhil, if there is no rinse aid, your dishes will not be dry at the end of the cycle. Also there could be stains or streaks on the dishes depending on the water hardness. Using rinse aid is not compulsory. But in case you have hard water, using rinse aid along with salt, will give better cleaning results. In case you do not decide to fill rinse aid, you can set it to level zero so that the indicator does not remain ON always.
@@BhuvanaAdi thankyou for quick reply....very informative .....actually after machine started running I realized that the star indicator is indicating rinse aid.....so like is it possible to pause the machine in bet if we forget something or some sound is coming or for any reason
Hi, you just add one litre of water first and then one kilo of salt. I've not shown how to do this the very first time in my Bosch, but I've shown in my Voltas Beko. You can see that video for guidance. I'm sure you'll find it useful. Click the link below to see the video: th-cam.com/video/TKO8kdDHeLw/w-d-xo.html Thanks.
Hi Wahab, thanks for your query. First of all I would like to tell you that we do not have Hobart dishwashers in India to the best of my knowledge. From what I could gather from their website, looks like they specialise in industrial and commercial dishwashers. I am not clear as to which type of dishwasher you have - residential or commercial. Whatever the type of dishwashers, water hardness is an important parameter specified by the manufacturers, to avoid limescale formation. The level of water hardness is specified by the manufacturer. You will be able to find this in your user manual. Check if you have a water softener inside the dishwasher or you have your machine connected to a separate water treatment plant. This will help you to find if there is a need for salt to be added separately. I would therefore suggest you to contact your local Hobart service personnel for more details in this regard. Thanks once again for watching and querying.
Hi Arun, hearing the spray arm sound and water dispensing sound is quite normal. In comparison with washing machine which has sound of rotating drum and motor, this sound is very negligible and also you can hear these only when you're in close proximity of the machine. What people mean is that you can hardly tell if a dishwasher is running, unless you are nearby. Most dishwashers have sound less than 50dB. Thanks.
Hi Sarita Praveen If you are staying at a place where water quality is very good, then your consumption would be less since the rinse setting would have been adjusted at a low level. If the water is hard then rinse aid will have to be set for high consumption. For me, a 100ml of rinse aid lasts for 1 to one and half months, with one cycle everyday. Thanks I hope I have answered the query to your satisfaction.
Hi Liz, you are right about using the funnel. Nowadays, every machine is provided with a funnel for filling salt, which I did not get at the time of my buying almost 11 years ago. I could have used any funnel found handy at home, but since the diameter of the salt compartment is quite big, I thought of adding the same as it is. Thanks for sharing your viewpoint.
@@BhuvanaAdi I live in Canada and enjoyed your instructions especially about the salt. I'll fill mine today!!!! But first I'll clean the dishwasher filter, something else that I have not done for a while.
Hi, what do you mean by wrong salt? Basically you are not supposed to add any other salt other than the special salt meant for dishwasher which is a pure form of NaCl (sodium chloride). By wrong salt if you mean common salt (which have other chemicals added), then that could affect the water softening system andalso the water quality, and in effect the wash quality. So it's better to use only dishwasher salt.
Thanks for your suggestion. But I did not get a funnel when I bought my dishwasher 8½ years ago. I do have other funnels though, which I use at times while filling rinse aid.

Manas Ranjan Das I am not able to understand your comment. I have not shown Fortune tablet but Finish tablet in this demo video. Also there is no mention of 1/3. Was your comment meant for some other video? Would be happy if you clarify. Thanks
Bhuvana A kafi Sarre log boll rahe hai ki fortune dishwasher ka 1/3 dissolved nehi hota hai dishwasher main. iska mtlb kya hai . Bas issi wajah se Finish dishwasher best hai
Thanks for your reply. Maine Fortune tablet bahut kam use kiya hai (bas 3 - 4 jo free sample mile the), is liye is mamle mein jyada nahi bol sakti hoon. Finish tablet to bahut badiya hai. Par ek baat hai ki, agar short cycle mein tablet use karenge, toh tablet poora dissolve nahi hoga, chahe Fortune ho ya Finish ho.
It's news to me La Tui. I wasn't aware of this. May be in the US they want people to use only tablets which have salt and rinse aid along with detergent in them.
Atul Kumar I can def confirm that newer dishwashers here still don’t have salt compartments. Unless you get into the Miele price range. I do agree though that German manufactured dishwashers are far superior to anything else in terms of cleaning, longevity and efficiency. :)

Hello mam.For the first time how much water must be added and how much salt must be added to Bosch dishwasher..
Hi Srinivas, for the very first time, fill 1 litre of water or till the top of the salt chamber and then add 1kg of salt. Keep adding salt even if the water overflows.
@@BhuvanaAdi Thank you very much for the suggestion mam.
Hi I have just brought a Siemens dishwasher and have used it with finish all in one tablets. Since I don’t have a full load of vessels every day I would like to try using the detergent rinse aid and salt combo. I live in Navi Mumbai. We get municipal water supply which is soft. Am not sure about what should be the salt and rinse aid settings as the technician did not know himself. If I use the lowest settings that is 01 for both will it leave a white film? The all in one tablets work very well without any salt or rinse aid added in the auto mode. Thanks 🙏
Hi, for the kind of soft water in Mumbai, the lowest setting of salt and rinse aid is okay when used with detergent. Also you can use very little quantity of detergent.
Many Mumbai viewers write that they even avoid using salt and rinse aid. I would not recommend that though.
In case you are happy with the tablet and you have only half load, you can try using half tablet. I've done this many times and found it effective.
I'm sure you should not be getting any white film with the above settings. In case you happen to get it regularly, you can increase the setting by one level.
Thanks.
@@BhuvanaAdi thank you so much for the reply :)
Hi mam
The salt tank doesn't have water in it even after multiple uses. Now I want to add salt to it(since salt indicator has shown up). So, should I add water manually into it and then add salt to it ? Please tell how much water to add.
Yes you have to add about 1 litre water into salt chamber, then add at least 1 kg salt into the chamber. Keep on filling the entire 1 kg salt even if the water overflows. Thanks.
How much water and salt we will fill at first use
Hi, you can first fill about a litre of water. Then add 1kg salt, little by little. Keep adding even if the water overflows.
@@BhuvanaAdi thanks
Mam, I have one month old IFB neptune vx plus dishwasher, it was not cleaning properly even after required salt & rinse aid settings. There was a white film on every utensil, which I have to clean with damp cloth or wash it under tap water. I have tried increasing and decreasing of salt and rinse aid settings but the cleaning is still not good enough. Increasing rinse aid leads to foaming of utensils .
Then I tried adding a half a tea spoon or 2- 3 pinch of table salt with fortune detergent (I only add the table salt to detergent compartment),salt & rinse aid as per manual and the result was surprisingly very good.
Should I continue to do so??
Or it will harm my dishwasher in longer terms?
@S Sinha, Sorry for the delay in replying. Actually the manufacturers ask us to use pure Sodium Chloride. Table salt has iodine and anti caking agents. I am not sure whether these will harm the machine in the long run. Hopefully it should not cause any damage. Since it is a small quantity you are using, you could continue using it. I am surprised how this is effective and am trying to understand this. Anyway thanks for sharing.
Thank you! This was most helpful - so much clearer than the manual.
luciethg Thanks for liking and finding the explanation useful as compared to the manual. :)
Fully agree to this
Thank u thank u thank u so much mam... I was so much concerned when refilling salt about the water in the salt dispenser. I thought I had made some mistake.. so that the water is stagnant inside the salt diapenser. I was waiting to get the clarification before i call service man. I decided to watch some video about re filling salt first before call the person. Now i relieved from my confusion... Thank u mam and YOU TUBE once again

Oh that's very nice to know Emerald Alice. Glad that my video was of help to you.
Can u use Bosch dishwasher without salt?
That depends on how soft the water in your locality is.
Thank you
Can u send link for how to load vessels..means how u prepare vessels to load..araangingi know but ..as I told u I use to wash.. I want th exact thing..
My friends say they just remove food particles and arrange it inside..
Hi @Nagarathinam, I'm sure in most households people soak their used utensils with water until they are washed. This is usually done for manual wash. I follow the same for dishwasher as well. After emptying cooked vessels I keep them under water in the sink. Before loading in the dishwasher, I just throw the water and load them. This way the stuck particles also easily come off.
Yes there are many people who do not like to keep any dishes in the sink, so they keep loading dishes as and when they are finished/used, by just removing big particles stuck on them. You can do that. But only thing is you have to choose the correct program cycle and the right brand and quantity of detergent to get good cleaning.
In many of my Dishwasher demo videos (I have uploaded 50 videos in all, covering various topics, till date) I have shown loading and arranging the dishes. I am sharing links of all the videos as a playlist here. Please watch each of them fully whenever you find time. I'm sure you will find them informative and helpful as well and will clear lot of your doubts.

Helloo...Awesome videos..I have bought a new dishwasher and i am trying to learn the usage from your videos.I have few queries.
1.I would like to know is rinse aid mandatory?Can i use without adding rinse aid?
2.What is the difference between Detergent powder and Detergent Tablets?
Awaiting for your reply.
Hi Sabeena Alnuhasi. Thank you very much for your appreciation. I am happy my videos are helping you learn and become familiar with your new dishwasher. Hope this helps make your life easier.
Regarding your queries, my point wise reply is as follows --
1. Many people have asked me this and I want to say that rinse aid is not mandatory. Company recommends the use of rinse aid but if you have any doubts you are free NOT to use it. I don't think it affects the cleaning in any way. Rinse aid only helps in the last stage, ie. drying of the utensils. If you are not using rinse aid, the only difference is that the utensils after wash may not be dry and may have water drops on them.
2. Detergent powder is only the cleaning soap. There is no rinse aid or salt in it. Whereas the detergent tablets are a mix of detergent, rinse aid and salt (all in one).
You could check out my videos where I have made a comparison of the different detergents and tablets. Besides I have also posted videos showing individual results of different detergents and tablet. If you go through the playlist below, you will get all the different videos posted by me -

Thank you once again and all the best. In case you have any more doubts, feel free to write to me.
@@BhuvanaAdi Thanks a ton for the reply....
1.So if I put tablet in dishwasher means there is no need to put salt and detergent separately??
2.If buying these from online which websites can I get in cheaper price??
Awaiting for reply...
Hi, You have understood right only partly. My answers to your queries : -
A1) I have not mentioned in my earlier reply that you need not use rinse aid and salt provided your water is very soft. If your water is hard, then based on the water hardness you will have to adjust your rinse aid and salt setting. In case water in your locality is soft, and you will only be using tablets, then you can set both rinse aid and salt to zero or at the most to the minimum setting, as specified in your user manual. This is because the manufacturer does not recommend running salt and rinse aid compartment empty. Because even soft water has dissolved salts to some extent. Using rinse aid and salt by keeping them in minimum setting will help you extend the life of the machine, by protecting from lime scale formation.
A2) To the best of my knowledge, you can get all your consumables for dishwasher and a good price from Amazon.in. I am sharing the buying link below :
amzn.to/2NbAncc - Finish Powerball Classic - 110 Tablets
amzn.to/2P2xvzW - Finish All in 1 Max Powerball, 60 Tablets
amzn.to/2RgswNF - Finish Dishwasher Salt 2kg

amzn.to/2NUOXtD - Crystale Starter Combo - Dihswasher Tablet and Dishwasher Salt
amzn.to/2NTNdAZ - Crystale Dishwasher Rinse Aid forCrystal Shine - 500 ml
You can click the links to find the FINISH brand products as well as Crystale products. You can compare the prices yourself. For which brand to opt for you can see my detergent comparision video. The company's (BOSCH) recommendation and my first choice is FINISH.
Hope I have answered your queries satisfactorily. Thank you.
@@BhuvanaAdi Wooww....Totally satisfied...Very much appreciated...My brand of dishwasher is Midea which is bought from abroad...Thanks once again..
Sabeena Alnuhasi Hi, glad to have been of help to you. Feel free to write to me in case of any future queries.
Hello Bhuvana ji. We have a Bosch dishwasher that we recently purchased. I wanted to ask you- if we add salt and rinse aid in required quantities, can we switch between using a dishwasher powder and tablet( which already has salt, detergent and rinse aid) ?
Yes you can do that. I always do that.
But in case you're going to use tablets for a longer period, it would be better to reduce the salt and rinse aid setting.
Also adjust the setting based on your water hardness. If your water is very soft, while using tablet you can set salt and rinse aid to zero or at 01, depending on your cleaning results.
@@BhuvanaAdi Thank you so much Bhuvana ji :)
Your dishwasher has light inside also ??
No Yash I don't have light inside. What you see is the light kept inside for making the video.
How much salt it will consume in a month, daily once. Because mine is asking to refill after 3 to 4 cycles. I filled to full tank. Should I remove some water and fill it with salt. Tried both Bosch and finish with same result. Can you help me out
Hi Rajesh, salt consumption depends on the hardness(salt) setting in your machine.
Check at what level you have kept the salt setting.
If your setting is high and the water is hard, consumption will be faster.
You need not and should not remove water. If the salt indicator light is ON, add more salt. Maybe you did not fill enough salt the very first time.
Fill at least half a kilo of salt.
Very good informative video, the official Bosch video regarding adding salt is awful & they never answer any questions. Thanks for your efforts.
Thank you for the appreciation.. Glad that you found the video useful.
Super guidelines, far better than the user manual Thank you ma! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Girish that you think so.
Hi thanks for video! How often does salt need refilling do you think? We’ve had first ever dishwasher for 2 months and the light has yet to come on. Thank you.
Hi Jamie, thanks for your query. Since it is just two months of your dishwasher, I am sure you must have filled a good amount of salt the very first time which is why the salt light indicator has not come on.
Also how much salt is consumed is dependent on the salt setting in your machine, which is usually done on the basis of water quality. Soft water consumes less salt and hard water much more.
I have soft water in my locality and hence i have adjusted my salt setting to 1. For this setting and my usage of mixed cycle of long and short program, I can roughly say that 1 kg lasts about 4 - 6 months.
You can arrive at the frequency of refilling salt and the quantity required by noting 2 to 3 consecutive times when the light comes on, by noting how much you refill in between.
Hope this answers your query.
Thanks.
Bhuvana Adi thanks for your fast reply this has helped!
Hi ma'am, Thanks for your guidance :) Can we run the dishwasher without rinse aid? I will get the rinse aid delivered tomorrow only.. Require your expert advise :) Thank you
Hi Seshsapriya, you can run dishwasher without rinse aid. Rinse aid is mainly for drying dishes and give a spotless cleaning to the dishes. You can leave the door open after the program completes and let it dry naturally for some time before removing the dishes.
@@BhuvanaAdi thank you so so much ma'am:)
Hi madam , if we fill salt for1st time in Bosh need to fill with water??
Yes you have to fill water the first time you fill salt in any dishwasher. I have shown this in LG dishwasher as well as in Voltas Beko tabletop dishwasher.
You can watch them here:
Filling salt in LG dishwasher-
th-cam.com/video/pIFZpinuMbU/w-d-xo.html
Filling salt in Voltas Beko:
th-cam.com/video/TKO8kdDHeLw/w-d-xo.html
The procedure is more or less the same. Some brands recommend adding water simultaneously, or later.
In Bosch you have to add water first, i e. full till the top of the compartment and then add the salt. The water will overflow, but you can keep adding almost a kilogram of salt.
I'll make a video of this in a day or two.
Thanks.
@@BhuvanaAdi thank you
Do you prerinse the dishes
Hi Sudha, I do not pre rinse the dishes. I keep the dishes soaked in water and then load them in the dishwasher after throwing away the water. This way any stubborn food particles or grease get softened and cleaning becomes easier and very effective. I follow this method even while doing hand wash, where we scrub the dishes. There is no scrubbing in the dishwasher, so it is difficult to remove stubborn dirt, grime and grease from dishes unless they are soaked. But soaking is required only if you are going to load all the dishes at one go. If you are loading the dishes immediately after use/emptying the contents, then you just need to remove the large food particles, vegetable remnants etc. before loading. If your machine has pre wash option, you can use that option before running the actual programme. I hope I have made myself very clear and answered your query satisfactorily.
Thank you.
Mam salt refill jb karna hai toh kya phir se one kg karna hai ya kam kar sakte hain? Aur salt refill karke kya dubara se quick wash karna hai without utensils?

Hi, I left the salt lid open after refilling in my Voltas Beko dishwasher. The dishes looked foggy and stained. Do I need to drain out the salt compartment given it was left open during a wash cycle? Also could it have done any damage to the machine?
Hi aayushailawadi, sorry for the delay. You could try the following - Pour at least 2 to 3 litres water into the salt compartment even if the water overflows. This should hopefully remove the rinse aid/detergent that could have got into it. Remember to close the lid this time. You could then place a container normally (not upside down) in the lower rack and run an empty cycle. At the end just observe from the collected water in the container whether soapy, etc. If yes, repeat the above process once more. After that, add at least 1 kg salt in the salt compartment, close the lid. Use the dishwasher normally. Any residual contamination of the salt compartment should go off after a few cycles.
I am not aware whether your lapse could have caused any damage to the water softener in the dishwasher.
Thanks.
@@BhuvanaAdi as per what I read in the manual if the detergent gets into the salt container it may cause some problems to the water softening functionality of the machine.
Can we use regular salt to add in the water?
No regular salt has iodine and other anti caking agents. Dishwasher salt is pure sodium chloride.
can u please tell me..i have salt stukk and hardened in salt compartment…and d button outside is enabled after adding salt..
Do you mean the salt indicator light is still ON?
How did the salt get hardened and stuck in the chamber? Did you keep the salt level setting at 0? If not, let me know your settings.
Hope you have been using the dishwasher regularly.

@@BhuvanaAdi mam, during the demo. The cycle was Express Sparkle 59mins using Finish Tablet n the wash outcome was good. But next day my wife chose Quick cycle 29mins using tablet n there was soapy latherlike on dishes. Then inspite of continuing again prerinse 15mins . It was of no use. Pls guide us mam. We are given Finish 30 tablets free from Bosch. Pls help.
hi mam..for adding salt for the first time ..u have told we should add water..please tell me the quantity of water and salt for the first time
Hi Spanda, I am assuming that the technician did not add salt in your dishwasher. In which case the salt chamber will be dry. If the technician has loaded salt when he came, then he should have put water. Please check that.
The correct procedure for first time filling is - I am reproducing from the manual -
1. Open the salt compartment
2.Fill the compartment with water (only required the first time).
3. Add dishwasher salt (not necessary till the top). Even about half kg salt is enough. As you add salt, water will get displaced and run out. It is normal.
4. Close the compartment.
On the panel, the salt indicator lamp will go OFF. That means salt has been filled adequately. When the salt level goes down, the light will again come ON, then we have to add salt again (without adding any water).
Hope this is clear. Thank you.
Hi thanks for this Informative Video, What is the function of Salt and Rinse Aid.
Hi Sachin, salt is for softening of hard water (to avoid limescale formation) and rinse aid is for drying the dishes and to give them a spotless cleaning at the end of the cycle.
I've explained about this in my video link below:
th-cam.com/video/-jHUQwX82l4/w-d-xo.html
Please watch it. Thanks.
Hi mam, got installed my bosch dishwasher today. The boy who came for demo used the finish tablet. And he said that one tablet lasts for three cycles. But, to my surprise the whole tablet got used up. And the lid of the compartment for detergent has been open after the cycle. Is it normal? Does the lid opens up automatically after finishing the cycle? Please clarify...
Hi Latha, congrats on your new dishwasher. Sad that the demo person did not inform you rightly.
Actually whatever detergent or tablet you put in the detergent compartment, will get used up during the chosen wash cycle.
Actually once the program starts the lid opens and the tablet falls on the middle portion of the top rack. From there it gets used for washing and cleaning the dishes. So it is very normal that the lid opens up. You don't have to worry about that.
Thanks for the video. Do i need wash empty first after put salt or can i wash streight with dishes?
Once you've filled 1 kg of salt and rinse aid, you are ready to wash your dishes by selecting the desired program cycle and adding the required detergent based on soiling. There is no need to run an empty cycle.
Thanks 🙏🏼 nicely shown!
You're welcome.
That was helpful and elaborated on well. Great job!
Thanks Adeel, that you think so.
Is there any option to add on more water in cycle?
Can you please tell what you mean by adding water in cycle, i didn't quite understand your question?

Is it necessary to use rescaling in dishwasher .. and how frequently to use n how to put or use desccaler powder
Hi Jaishree, thanks for your query. If your water is hard , your dishwasher is prone to scale formation which reduces efficiency, thereby increasing the requirement for salt and detergent. Based on how frequently scaling happens and the amount of scaling, you would have to descale. I will shortly upload a video on this. Please check out for the same. Thank you.

Mam my vessels got some white layer can you please suggest
Hi palanikumar s, I am sure you have measured your water hardness and have set the salt consumption accordingly. Please inform whether you are getting white layer in both long and short cycles. Normally you should not get in short cycles which are at lower temperatures. White layer forms when hard water mixes with detergent at high temperature. Please try using shorter cycles to overcome white layer. In long cycle try adding one tsp of citric acid along with detergent and observe the result. The white layer should reduce or go away. Thank you.
Bhuvana Adi so kind of u to reply my query.
I initially kept long run with 70 temperature and used powder detergent. My Vessels all almost got white layers I also kept aluminium cooker during that cycle. Then we changed to tablet n kept lesser temp say 50 or 60. My doubt now can I try detergent with lesser temp.
Can I use citrus salt and keep those layered Vessels n wash again in dishwasher?.
Please suggest
Does salt essential in beko dishwashers
It depends on your water hardness levels. The Beko manual online advises the usage of salt. Dishwasher salt is not only used for hard water softening, but it aids in good cleaning and rinsing of dishes. Also it prolongs the life of the dishwasher by not forming scales. Maintaining salt level helps to get optimum performance from the machine giving better cleaning results. I would suggest you use salt, unless of course you use an all-in-one tablet.
Good demonstration. 100 marks.
Thank you. 🙏
As water is in the container if one wants to fill full salts then how it's to be done
Hi Uday, just keep adding salt till you fill a kg, even if the water starts overflowing if it is for the first time before using the dishwasher.
I've shown this being done in the LG dishwasher demo video series. Please watch that on my channel.
Thank you.
In my area water is too soft so is it necessary to use salt in dishwasher?
Hi, good question. Dishwasher salt is not only used for hard water softening, but it aids in good cleaning and rinsing of dishes. Also it prolongs the life of the dishwasher by not forming scales. Maintaining salt level helps to get optimum performance from the machine giving better cleaning results. Hence it is advised to maintain a certain level of salt even in areas having soft water.
First of all you have to get your water hardness tested. Based on which the instructions in your dishwasher manual will help you do the correct salt setting.
I too have very soft water, but I still add salt in my dishwasher, keeping the minimum salt level setting. I have observed that salt consumption is very less as water in our area is soft.
I hope I have answered your query satisfactorily.
Thank you for watching.
What happens if I run machine without filling rinse aid though the indicator is on
Hi Nikhil, if there is no rinse aid, your dishes will not be dry at the end of the cycle. Also there could be stains or streaks on the dishes depending on the water hardness.
Using rinse aid is not compulsory. But in case you have hard water, using rinse aid along with salt, will give better cleaning results.
In case you do not decide to fill rinse aid, you can set it to level zero so that the indicator does not remain ON always.
@@BhuvanaAdi thankyou for quick reply....very informative .....actually after machine started running I realized that the star indicator is indicating rinse aid.....so like is it possible to pause the machine in bet if we forget something or some sound is coming or for any reason

Hi there I would like to know Hobart dishwasher need any solts? If need what type of solts I can use?
Hi Wahab, thanks for your query. First of all I would like to tell you that we do not have Hobart dishwashers in India to the best of my knowledge. From what I could gather from their website, looks like they specialise in industrial and commercial dishwashers. I am not clear as to which type of dishwasher you have - residential or commercial.
Whatever the type of dishwashers, water hardness is an important parameter specified by the manufacturers, to avoid limescale formation.
The level of water hardness is specified by the manufacturer. You will be able to find this in your user manual. Check if you have a water softener inside the dishwasher or you have your machine connected to a separate water treatment plant. This will help you to find if there is a need for salt to be added separately.
I would therefore suggest you to contact your local Hobart service personnel for more details in this regard.
Thanks once again for watching and querying.
All of them say the machine is very silent, i can hear spray arm rotating, water dispensing and much more noise, hw silent is the machine actually?
Hi Arun, hearing the spray arm sound and water dispensing sound is quite normal. In comparison with washing machine which has sound of rotating drum and motor, this sound is very negligible and also you can hear these only when you're in close proximity of the machine.
What people mean is that you can hardly tell if a dishwasher is running, unless you are nearby.
Most dishwashers have sound less than 50dB.
Thanks.
How many cycles can we use this rinse aid?
Hi Sarita Praveen If you are staying at a place where water quality is very good, then your consumption would be less since the rinse setting would have been adjusted at a low level. If the water is hard then rinse aid will have to be set for high consumption. For me, a 100ml of rinse aid lasts for 1 to one and half months, with one cycle everyday. Thanks I hope I have answered the query to your satisfaction.
Using a funnel would make the job of filling the salt much easier!
Hi Liz, you are right about using the funnel. Nowadays, every machine is provided with a funnel for filling salt, which I did not get at the time of my buying almost 11 years ago.
I could have used any funnel found handy at home, but since the diameter of the salt compartment is quite big, I thought of adding the same as it is.
Thanks for sharing your viewpoint.

What happens if we fill the wrong salt?
Hi, what do you mean by wrong salt? Basically you are not supposed to add any other salt other than the special salt meant for dishwasher which is a pure form of NaCl (sodium chloride).
By wrong salt if you mean common salt (which have other chemicals added), then that could affect the water softening system andalso the water quality, and in effect the wash quality.
So it's better to use only dishwasher salt.
Fill up the salt dispenser to the top. It will last way more :)
Thanks for the suggestion. Yeah, if filled to the top, it will last for a very long time.

Thanks for your suggestion. But I did not get a funnel when I bought my dishwasher 8½ years ago. I do have other funnels though, which I use at times while filling rinse aid.

1/3 of Fortune Dishwasher tablet not resolved - what the meaning of this
Manas Ranjan Das I am not able to understand your comment. I have not shown Fortune tablet but Finish tablet in this demo video. Also there is no mention of 1/3. Was your comment meant for some other video? Would be happy if you clarify. Thanks
Bhuvana A kafi Sarre log boll rahe hai ki fortune dishwasher ka 1/3 dissolved nehi hota hai dishwasher main. iska mtlb kya hai . Bas issi wajah se Finish dishwasher best hai
Thanks for your reply. Maine Fortune tablet bahut kam use kiya hai (bas 3 - 4 jo free sample mile the), is liye is mamle mein jyada nahi bol sakti hoon. Finish tablet to bahut badiya hai. Par ek baat hai ki, agar short cycle mein tablet use karenge, toh tablet poora dissolve nahi hoga, chahe Fortune ho ya Finish ho.
Now a days the finish rinse aid colour nis blue.
That's not a problem, some times it comes in blue.
Thanks so much

idk why dishwasher in America don't have salt compartments. So much of the water in the US is unreasonably hard.
It's news to me La Tui. I wasn't aware of this. May be in the US they want people to use only tablets which have salt and rinse aid along with detergent in them.
Atul Kumar I can def confirm that newer dishwashers here still don’t have salt compartments. Unless you get into the Miele price range. I do agree though that German manufactured dishwashers are far superior to anything else in terms of cleaning, longevity and efficiency. :)
Thanks a lot :)

I worry what all that salt water dumping into my garbage disposal will do to it. Can't be good, I don't have one with a stainless steel chamber
If you split salt everywhere, it will cause corrosion
Hi Roham, thanks for the feedback. I normally use a funnel, but for the purpose of showing in video, I did not use it. Thanks.
Thank u. Very helpful
