Rinse aid and re
fi
ned salt
Only use products which have been speci
fi
cally
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 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 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
fi
lled:
When the LOW RINSE AID* indicator light on the
control panel is illuminated;
1. Open the dispenser by
turning the lid (G) in an
anticlockwise direction.
2. Pour in the rinse aid,
making sure it dose not
over
fl
ow from the dispenser.
If this happens, clean the spill
immediately with a dry cloth.
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 satis
fi
ed with the drying results,
you may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a
screwdriver to turn the dosage adjuster (F) to one of the 6
pre-set positions (the default position is set to 4):
If there are streaks on the crockery, set the adjust-
ment device to a lower number (1-3).
If drops of water remain on the crockery or if there are
limescale marks present after the cycle has
fi
nished,
se the adjuster to a higher number (4-6).
Setting the water hardness
Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener
which, by using re
fi
ned 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 accord-
ance with the water hardness level in your area. This
information can be obtained from the organization which
supplies your household with water.
- Switch the machine off using the
ON/OFF
button and
open the door.
- Set the
SELECT WASH CYCLE
knob
fi
rst to wash cycle
5
, then to wash cycle
1
,
then to wash cycle
5
again.
- Press the ON/OFF button; the wash cycle phase (washing,
drying, end) indicator lights will
fl
ash. It is now possible to
G
F
select the water hardness level. There is a water hardness
level for every wash cycle:
E.g.: wash cycle 1, water hardness level 1
wash cycle 2, water hardness level 2, etc, etc., up to a
maximum of
5*
levels.
(The default water softener setting is level
1
).
- To exit the function, wait approximately 30 seconds or switch
off the machine using the ON/OFF button.
Even if using multi-functional tablets, the salt dispenser
should still be
fi
lled.
(°dH = hardness measured in German degrees - °f = hard-
ness measured in French degrees – mmol/l = millimoles
per litre)
Measuring out the re
fi
ned salt
In order to achieve the best possible results using a wash
cycle, make sure that the dispenser is never empty. Re
fi
ned
salt removed limescale from the water, thus avoiding the
formation of deposits on crockery.
The salt dispenser is located in the lower part of the dish-
washer
(see Description)
and should be
fi
lled:
When the green
fl
oat* cannot be seen by simply looking at
the cap of the salt dispenser.
When the LOW SALT* indicator lights on the control panel is
illuminated;
1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew
the container cap (anticlockwise).
2. The
fi
rst time you do this:
fi
ll the water
tank right up to its edge.
3. Position the funnel*
(see
fi
gure)
and
fi
ll the salt container right up to its edge
(this should hold approximately 1kg); it is not unusual for a
little water to leak out.
4. Remove the funnel* and wipe any salt residue 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
fl
ow out of the four cracks which are arranged in a
star shape on the lower part of the cap. (Salt cap with green
fl
oat*)
It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you
add salt to the container.
Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no deter-
gent 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.
The use of re
fi
ned salt is not necessary for Eco
wash cycle.
