What does that snowflake symbol on my dishwasher mean? It is flashing at me.

Salt? Something else?

That's it really.

Probably need to fill up with rinse aid.

yeah, my rinse aid symbol is fairly snowflakey so i concur. :)

Yes Rinse Aid. I think the salt one is an 'S'.

I'd guess rinse aid too.

Live dangerously. Top them both up.

Yes, it means you need to top up the rinse aid.

What PorkChopSter said AND clean the filter thing while you're at it.

Porkchopster it's that kind of rash advice thats caused the current economic crisis (and almost probably caused the disintegration in the fabric of society)

This is going to sound really stupid, but where does the rinse aid go? I think I am a bit confused about dishwashers. I have found a screw-top in the floor of the dishwasher which I unscrew and then I pour salt in. Is this the right place for the salt or should that be rinse aid? Aaargh!

Ours is a thing in the inside of the door with a little round window in. You sort of unclip it and pour the rinse aid in til the window is full.

Your dishwasher has detected it's only 6 weeks till Christmas and is joining in the festivities.

The rinse-aid in my dishwasher goes in the compartment in the door next to where the detergent goes.

Pascha that explains it so much better than I did.

Er, do you not have an instruction manual?

Stropper - no, dishwasher was in house already when we moved in, no manual.

Thank you all very much. I imagine things will look much sparklier now (the things coming out of the dishwasher, I mean.)

Ah, OK, fair enough then :)

Try googling the model - you may find an online manual
