When using tablets that
integrate rinse aid and
detergent:

there is no need to fill up with rinse aid
– set the water softener
– add special (dishwasher) salt

When using tablets that
integrate rinse aid, detergent,
salt function and other
additives:

there is no need to fill up with special salt or
rinse aid.
Check whether these detergents are suitable
for your water hardness. Follow the manufac-
turers instructions.

– Set the water hardness to level 1.

IMPORTANT!

If the drying results are not satisfactory we rec-
ommend that you:
1. Fill up the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid.
2. Set the rinse aid dosage to position 2.

If you decide in future to use separated deter-
gents, we advise that you:
– Fill up the salt and rinse aid container.
– Adjust the water hardness setting to the

highest level and perform 1 normal washing
programme without loading any dishes.

– Adjust the water hardness setting according

to the hardness of the water in your area.

– Adjust the rinse aid dosage

Set the water softener

The dishwasher is equipped with a water
softener designed to remove minerals and salts
from the water supply, which would have a det-
rimental or adverse effect on the operation of
the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals and
salts, the harder your water is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent
scales, Clarke degrees, French degrees (°TH)

and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit
for the hardness of water).
The softener should be adjusted according to
the hardness of the water in your area. Your
local Water Authority can advise you on the
hardness of the water in your area.
