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 SALT*

and LOW RINSE AID* indicator lights remain 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/dislay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 your local water supplier.

- 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:

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

washcycle2,waterhardnesslevel2,etc.etc.,uptoamaximum

of 5* levels.

(The default water softener setting is level 3).

- To exit the function, wait a few seconds or press one of the op-

tion buttons*, 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/

display 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*

(see figure)

and fill

the 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.

* Only available in selected models.

For values between 0°f and 10°f, we do not recommend the

use of salt. * this setting may cause a slight increase in the

duration of the cycles. ** for 1 wash cycle per day.
