Refined Salt and Rinse Aid
Only use products which have been specifically designed
EN
for dishwashers. Do not use table salt or industrial salt.
Follow the instructions given on the packaging.
If you are using a multi-function product, we recommend
that you add salt in any case, especially if the water is hard
or very hard. (Follow the instructions given on the packaging.)
If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT
*
LOW RINSE AID
indicator lights will remain lit.
Measuring out the refined salt
The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the
dishes and on the machine's functional components.
• It is important that the salt dispenser be never empty.
• It is important to set the water hardness.
The salt dispenser is located in the lower part of the dishwasher
(see Description)
and should be filled:
• When the LOW RINSE AID indicator light in the control panel
*
is lit
;
• When the green float
longer visible.
• See autonomy in the water hardness table.
1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the
container cap (anticlockwise).
2. Only the first time you do this: fill the water
dispenser up to the edge.
3. Position the funnel
fill the salt container right up to its edge
(approximately 1 kg); it is not unusual for a
little water to leak out.
4. Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue away from the
opening; rinse the cap under running water and then screw it on.
It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you add salt
to the container.
Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can
get into the container during the wash cycle (this could damage
the water softener beyond repair).
Whenever you need to add salt, we recommend carrying out
the procedure before the washing cycle is started.
Setting the water hardness
For perfect water softener operation, it is essential that the
adjustment be based on the water hardness in your house. Ask
your local water supplier for this information. The factory setting
is for medium water hardness.
• Switch the dishwasher on using the On/Off button.
• Press the Settings button.
• Access the menu "Water hardness" using the buttons next
to the grey arrows.
• The set level appears on the display.
• Use the buttons next to the grey arrows to select the desired
(see Table on water hardness)
level
• Press the OK button to save the setting.
• To exit the function wait a few seconds, press the ESC button
or switch off the machine using the On/Off button.
• Setting is complete!

run out of it.
A maximum of 4 levels can be set according to the dishwasher
model. The factory setting is for a medium level.
• If you see bluish streaks on the dishes, set a low number (1-2).
• If there are drops of water or limescale marks on the dishes,
set a high number (3-4).
