ADVICE REGARDING THE FIRST TIME USE
After installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and the reta-
ining elastic elements from the upper rack.
FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR
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 reservoir be never empty (except when
the water hardness is set to - 1 “Soft”)
.
• It is important to set the water hardness.
The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher
(see
Product Description)
and should be filled when the
SALT REFILL indi-
cator light
in the control panel is lit .
1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the
reservoir cap (anticlockwise).
2. Position the funnel
(see figure)
and fill the
salt reservoir right up to its edge (approxi-
mately 1 kg); it is not unusual for a little wa-
ter to leak out.
3. Remove the funnel and wipe any salt resi-
due away from the opening.
Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can get
into the container during the wash program (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
To allow the water softener to work in a perfect way, it is essential
that the water hardness setting is based on the actual water hard-
ness in your house. This information can be obtained from your local
water supplier.
The factory setting is for avarage (3) water hardness.
1. Switch on the appliance by pressing the
ON/OFF
button
2. Switch off the appliance by pressing the
ON/OFF
button
3. Hold down button
START/PAUSE
for 5 seconds, until you hear a
beep.
4. Switch on the appliance by pressing the
ON/OFF
button
5. The current selection level number and the salt indicator light
both flash.
6. Press button
P
to select the desired hardness level
(see Water
Hardness Table)
.
7. Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button
Setting is complete!
As soon as this procedure is complete, run a program without loading.
Only use salt that has been specifically designed for dishwashers.
After the salt has been poured into the machine, the SALT REFILL in-
dicator light switches off.
If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the
heating element may be damaged as a result
(except when
the water hardness is set to - 1 “Soft”)
.
FIRST TIME USE
SALT, RINSE AID AND DETERGENT
FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
Rinse aid makes dish DRYING easier. The rinse aid dispenser “
B
”
should be filled:

on the display is lit.

C
” becomes
transparent.
1. Open the dispenser by turning the cap “
A
” 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 cap back on.
NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the dishwasher.
ADJUSTING THE DOSAGE OF RINSE AID
If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you can
adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Turn the adjuster “
D
”.
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
mid-range number (3-4).
FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER
Open the detergent dispenser and measure out the detergent
according to Programs Table
