Before use

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions

2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance

4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with salt

5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.

Filling with salt 

(specifically designed for use in dishwashers)

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and salts from the water
supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance. The higher the
content of these salts, the harder your water is. If your water is already soft (lower than  8° F or 4°dH) there is
no need to use salt. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.

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 spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for
any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
The salt container will require topping up periodically ( every 40 cycles). 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

1. Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise.
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely 

full. The indicator (B) will be completely dark.

3. Top up the rinse aid when the indicator (B) becomes

clear.

Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.
Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid compartment.
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent
cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.

Adjusting the dose 

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

Start from position 3.

Gradually increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes
after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes.
