Salt
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard
water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes
utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a
salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from
the water.
Loading the Salt into the Softener
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should
be filled as follows:
- Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove the cap
from the salt container;
- If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with water;
- Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and intro-
duce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water
to come out of the container.
- Carefully screw the cap back on.
The salt container should be filled after about every 30 wash
cycles. To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before
beginning a wash cycle.
Adjusting Salt Consumption
The dishwasher is equipped with a system to adjust the level of
salt consumption in function of the hardness of the water being
used in order to optimize and customize the level of salt con-
sumption while keeping it to a minimum.
To adjust salt consumption level, follow these instructions:
- Unscrew the cap on the salt container;
- On the container there is an arrow (see figure to the side). If
necessary, turn the arrow in the anti-clockwise direction from
the "-" setting to the "+" setting based on the hardness of the
water being used.
- It is highly recommended that the table be consulted when
making adjustments .
Detergent and Rinse Aid
Detergent
Detergent specifically intended for use with dishwashers must
be used. The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each
wash cycle following the instructions provided in the "Wash Cycle
Table". The detergent dispenser is located on the inside panel
of the door.
Loading the detergent
To open the "A" cover on the dispenser, press the "B" button.
The detergent for the wash cycle should be poured into the "C"
compartment.
After the detergent has been placed in the dispenser, close the
cover and press down until it clicks in place.
Notice:To facilitate closing the cover, remove any excess
detergent on the edges of the dispenser.
Rinse Aid
This product makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry with-
out spotting. The dispenser is located on the inside panel of the
door and should be filled after every 80 wash cycles.
Loading the Rinse Aid
Regardless of the type detergent dispenser installed on your
appliance, you must proceed as indicator below when loading
the rinse aid.
To open the dispenser, turn the "C" cap in the anti-clockwise
direction and then pour in the rinse aid, making sure not to overfill.
The amount of rinse aid used for each cycle can be regulated by
turning the "F" dose adjustor, located beneath the "C" cap, with
a screwdriver. There are 6 different settings; the normal dosage
setting is 3.
Important:
Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying.
If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs, the
dosage adjustor should be turned to a higher setting.
If the dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjustor to a
lower setting.
