Only use products that have been specifically
designed for dishwashers.
Do not use table salt or industrial salt.
If using a multi-functional product (2-in-1, 3-in-1, 4-in-
1,etc.) it is not necessary to add rinse aid; however,
we recommend that you add salt, especially if you
live in an area where the water is hard or very hard. If
you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT* and
LOW RINSE AID* indicator lights will flash
continuously.
Loading the rinse aid
Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as
water runs off surfaces more readily and therefore
does not leave streaks or marks.
The rinse aid dispenser should be filled:
•
whenever the indicator light (H) signals that it is
empty. Illuminated light: add rinse aid; unlit light:
there is no shortage of rinse aid in the dispenser.
•
when the LOW RINSE AID* indicator light on the
panel flashes;
1. Open the dispenser by
turning the lid (G) 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 sponge.
3. Screw the lid back on.
NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance
tub.
Adjusting the amount of rinse aid
If you are not completely satisfied with the washing
or drying results, you may adjust the quantity of
rinse aid used. Use a screwdriver to turn the dosage
adjuster to one of the 6 pre-set positions (the default
position is set to 4):
•
if there are
bluish
streaks on the crockery, set the
adjuster to a lower number (1-3).
•
if drops of water remain on the crockery or there
are limescale marks present after the cycle has
finished, set the adjuster to a higher number (4-6).
If you are using multi-functional tablets (2-in-1, 3-in-1,
4-in-1,etc.) and you wish to further improve the
drying performance of the appliance, fill the
dispenser and set the dosage adjuster to 2.
Loading the refined salt
In order to obtain the best possible results from a
wash cycle, make sure that the dispenser is never
empty. Refined salt removes limescale from the
water, thus avoiding the formation of deposits on
crockery. The salt dispenser is located in the lower
part of the dishwasher (
see Description) and should
be filled:
•
when the green float* cannot be seen by simply
looking at the cap of the salt dispenser;
•
when the LOW SALT* indicator light on the panel
flashes;
•
if your machine is not equipped with an indicator
light or a green float:
approximately every 30 wash cycles;
1. Remove the lower rack and
unscrew the cap of the
dispenser (in an anti-
clockwise direction).
2. For the first wash cycle
only: fill the dispenser up to
the edges with water.
3. Position the funnel provided
correctly (
see figure) and fill the salt dispenser up to
the edges (approximately 2 kg); it is normal for a
little water to leak out.
4. Remove the funnel, wipe away any salt residue
from the thread and screw the cap on tightly, so that
detergent does not leak into the dispenser during
the wash cycle (this could damage the water
softening system beyond repair).
When salt has been added, run a wash cycle
immediately, without crockery, in order to remove
any salt solution that has leaked out and to avoid
corrosion.
Adjusting the amount of salt*
It is possible to adjust the amount of salt used
according to the hardness of the water in your area
(this information is available from your local water
board).
1. Unscrew the dispenser cap.
2. Turn the arrow on the neck of the
dispenser (
see figure) towards the
+ or - symbols, using the table
below as a guide.
The default setting of the water softening system is +.
- If using multi-functional tablets (2-in-1, 3-in-1, 4-in-1,
etc.) fill the salt dispenser and set the adjuster to -; if
the hardness of the water is greater than 60°fH, set it
to +.
