Rinse aid and refined salt
Only use products which have been specifically designed
for dishwashers.
Do not use table salt or industrial salt, or washing up liquid.
Follow the instructions given on the packaging.
If using a multi-functional product it is not necessary to any
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.
(Follow the instructions given on the packaging).
If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT
*
and
LOW RINSE AID indicator lights will remain lit.
Measuring out 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:
• When the LOW RINSE AID
*
indicator light on the control panel
is illuminated, a reserve supply of rinse aid is still available
for 1-2 cycles;
1. Open the dispenser
“D”
by pressing and pulling up the tab
on the lid;
2. Carefully introduce the rinse aid as far as the maximum
reference notch of the filling space - avoid spilling it. If this
happens, clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth.
3. Press the lid down until you hear a click to close it.
NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the tub.
Adjusting the amount of rinse aid
If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you
may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Switch on and off the
dishwasher using the ON/OFF button. Press the P button three
times. Press the ON/OFF button, the set level appears on the
display (set to factory level).
Adjust the rinse aid supply level with the P button.
Press the ON/OFF button to save the adjustment setting.
The rinse aid level can be set to ZERO, in such a case the rinse
aid will not be supplied and the low rinse aid indicator light in
case of running out.
A maximum of 4 levels can be set according to the dishwasher
model.
• If there are streaks on the crockery, set to a low number (1-2).
• In case of drops of water or limescale marks, set to a high
number number (3-4).
Setting the water hardness
Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, by
using refined salt designed especially for this type of appliance,
supplies water without limescale which is then used to wash
the crockery.
This dishwasher offers a setting which helps to reduce pollution
and optimises washing performance in accordance with the
water hardness level in your area. This information can be
obtained from your local water supplier.

Measuring out the refined salt
In order to obtain the best possible results from a wash cycle,
make sure that the salt 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 RINSE AID indicator light on the control panel
is illuminated
*
;
1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the cap (anticlockwise).
2. The first time you do this: fill the
water tank right up to its edge.
3. Position the funnel
*
(see figure)
and fill the salt dispenser up to the
edge (approximately 1 kg). It is
normal for a little water to leak out.
4. Remove the funnel* and wipe any
salt residues away from the opening;
rinse the cap under running water
and then screw it on, the head facing downwards so as to let
the water flow out of the four slots (star-shaped) on the lower
part of the cap (cap with green float
*
).
It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you add
salt to the dispenser.
Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly so that no detergent can
get into the container during the wash cycle (this could damage
the water softener beyond repair).
When necessary, measure out the salt before a wash cycle
so that any saline solution which has leaked out of the salt
dispenser is removed.
