Rinse aid and refined salt

Only use products which have been specifically

designed for dishwashers.

Do not use table salt or industrial salt, or washing

up liquid.

Follow the instructions given on the packaging.

If using a multi-functional product it is not necessary to add

rinse aid; however, we recommend that you add salt, especially

if you live in an area where 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

and LOW RINSE AID

lit.

Measuring out the rinse aid

Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water

runs off surfaces more readily and therefore does not leave

streaks or marks.

The rinse aid dispenser should be filled:

• When the LOW RINSE AID

indicator light on the control

panel is illuminated;

1. Open the dispenser by turning

the lid (G) in an anticlockwise

direction.

2. Pour in the rinse aid, making sure

it does not overflow from the

dispenser. If this happens, clean

the spill immediately with a dry

cloth.

3. Screw the lid back on.

NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.

Adjusting the amount of rinse aid

If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you

may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a screwdriver

to turn the dosage adjuster (F) to one of the 6 pre-set positions

(the default position is set to 4):

• If there are streaks on the crockery, set the adjustment

device to a lower number (1-3).

• If drops of water remain on the crockery or if there are

limescale marks present after the cycle has finished, set the

adjuster to a higher number (4-6).

Setting the water hardness

Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, by

using refined salt designed especially for this type of appliance,

supplies water without limescale which is then used to wash the

crockery.

This dishwasher offers a setting which helps to reduce pollution

and optimises washing performance in accordance with the water

hardness level in your area. This information can be obtained

from the organisation which supplies your household with water.

- Switch the machine off using the ON/OFF button and open

the door.

- Set the SELECT WASH CYCLE knob first to wash cycle 5,

then to wash cycle 1, then to wash cycle 5 again.

- Press the ON/OFF button; the wash cycle phase (washing,

drying, end) indicator lights will flash. It is now possible to

select the water hardness level. There is a water hardness

level for every wash cycle:

indicator lights remain

E.g.: wash cycle 1, water hardness level 1

wash cycle 2, water hardness level 2, etc. etc., up to a maxi-

mum of 5

levels.

(The default water softener setting is level 3).

- To exit the function, wait approximately few seconds or press

another option

button, or switch off the machine using the ON/

OFF button.

Even if using multi-functional tablets, the salt dispenser should

still be filled.

Measuring out the refined salt

In order to achieve the best possible results using a wash

cycle, make sure that the dispenser is never empty. Refined

salt removes limescale from the water, thus avoiding the

formation of deposits on crockery.

The salt dispenser is located in the lower part of the dishwasher

( see Description ) and should be filled:

• When the green float

cannot be seen by simply looking at

the cap of the salt dispenser.

• When the LOW SALT

indicator light on the control panel is

illuminated;

1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the

container cap (anticlockwise).

2. The first time you do this: fill the water tank

right up to its edge.

3. Position the funnel

salt container right up to its edge (this should

hold 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,

the head facing downwards so as to let the water flow out of the

four cracks which are arranged in a star shape on the lower part

of the cap. (Salt cap with green float

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).

When necessary, measure out the salt before a wash

cycle so that any saline solution which has leaked out of the

salt dispenser is removed.
