Flap = tablet

round dial I think its the rinse aid I think the salt goes in the big pot.

I use the 3 in one tablets they work great. simple and no mess in the press.

You must be a newbe house buyer! congratulations

I could say recently = year and a half --- but I wont :rolleyes:

IMO - if you have used one dishwasher, you can use any dishwasher. They are all basically the same.

If you know anybody who regularly uses a dishwasher, ask them.

Yep, Joey is right.

Flap for the tablet
Rinse aid goes into dial
At the bottom of the washer should be perhaps a round cap which needs to be screwed off, where the salt goes in (doesn't matter if there's water in there).

if the washer is new, it may have come with a funnel for getting the salt in easier.

thanks for that.we've never had a dishwasher before.didn't really give the cap at the bottom much thought.

Me rude - never.

If my reply came across as being rude, it was not intended to be so.

tried it out taday and the water poured out the bottom of the door:mad:put silicon along the inside lip and that seems to have worked.but how long does a dishwasher cycle run for(never owned one b4)as the dial doesn't seem to move.:rolleyes:

it can run up to around 2 hours. Maybe more depending on appliance age and the cycle used.
