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
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 filled:
• 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
does not overflow 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 satisfied 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 adjustment
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 finished, set the
adjuster to a higher number (4-6).
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 the organisation which supplies your household
with water.
- Open the door and switch on the machine by pressing the
ON/OFF
button.
- Press the
P
button and hold for approximately 5 seconds;
two short beeps will sound and the indicator light
corresponding to the set degree of hardness will flash slowly
on the control panel (the water softening system is set to
number
2
).
- Press the
P
button repeatedly until the desired hardness
level has been reached (1-2-3-4-5
*
see Water hardness
table ).
E.g. hardness 1 (indicator light 1 flashing)
hardness 2 (indicator light 1 illuminated, indicator light 2 flashing).
hardness 3 (indicator lights 1 and 2 illuminated, indicator light 3
flashing and so on).
- To exit the function, wait a few seconds or press one of the
option buttons
*
, or switch off the machine using the
ON/OFF
button.
Even if using multi-functional tablets, the salt dispenser should
still be filled.
(°dH = hardness measured in German degrees - °f = hardness
measured in French degrees - mmol/l = millimoles per litre)
Measuring out the refined salt
In order to achieve the best possible results using 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 control panel is
illuminated;
1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the
container 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 container right
up to its edge (this should hold approximately 1 kg); 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 flow out of the
four cracks which are arranged in a star shape on the lower part
of the cap. (Salt cap with green float
*
)
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 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.
