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 +.
