Filling with dishwasher salt
Only use salt specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in
a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water
softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete
washing programmes.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which
may have been spilt, remaining on the bottom of the
machine for any period of time, which may cause
corrosion.
To fill:
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the
cap of the salt container by turning it anticlockwise.
2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary
only before filling with salt for the first time).
3. Using the funnel provided,
pour in the salt until the
container is full.
4. Replace the cap making
sure that there is no trace
of salt on the screw
thread or on the gasket.
5. Replace the cap tightly
turning it clockwise until it
stops with a click.
The salt container will require topping up periodically.
You are reminded of this by
the salt indicator light in the
inside of the salt container
which comes on when the salt
has finished.
The indicator light is visible
through the window in the
centre of the salt cap (red
colouring).
The salt indicator light can remain illuminated for 2-6
hours after the salt has been replenished, assuming the
dishwasher remains switched on. If you are using salts
that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The
function of the machine is not affected.
Do not worry if water overflows from the unit when filling with
salt, this is quite normal.
Rinse aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring
thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.
The integrated dispenser of rinse aid and detergent is
positioned in the centre of the upper basket and holds about
120 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 10-20 dishwashing
cycles, depending upon the selected washing programme.
The upper part of the integrated dispenser has both functions
as lid for the rinse aid container and dispenser for the
detergent.
Filling with rinse aid
1. Open the container by pressing the release button (A).
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The
level can be controlled in the viewer (B).
Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the
rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g.
dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would
damage the appliance.
Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.
Check periodically the level of rinse aid in the viewer B and top
up the rinse aid if necessary, this before loading the detergent.
