Filling with 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. Screw on 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 on the control panel
which comes on when the salt has finished.

The salt indicator light on the control panel 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 over flows 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 dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about
110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing
programmes, depending upon the dosage setting. 

Filling with rinse aid

(Rinse aid dispenser type A)

1. Open the container by pressing the release button (A). 

2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The 

maximum level for filling is indicated by "max". 

Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill. 

Adjusting the dose 

According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the
dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (position
1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage). 

Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on
the dishes after washing.

The dose is factory set in
position 4.

Reduce it if there are sticky
whitish streaks on the dishes.
