Adding Dishwasher Salt; Filling The Rinse Aid Container - AEG OKO FAVORIT 645 Operating Instructions Manual

Setting the water hardness - adding dishwasher salt
The salt you require is special salt suitable
for domestic dishwashers. On no account
should table salt, cooking salt, road salt or
processed sea salt be used, because they
contain substances adversely affecting the
water softener.
Important! Detergents and salt are very often
available in very similar looking packaging.
Take care that you DO NOT fill the salt con¬
tainer with detergent, IT RENDERS THE WATER
SOFTENER INEFFECTIVE. The salt container
filler neck is situated on the right hand side on
the bottom of the wash tub (fig, 2/B). To fill the
container - open the door, lift out the lower
basket, unscrew the cap marked $=5 and
place the funnel supplied with the machine
over the opening (fig. 5).
Before the first use only, pour 1.5 to 2 litres
(3-4 pints) of water into the salt container.
Then add the salt until it is visible at the top of
the container (capacity approx. 1.5 Kg). During
the filling process, some water is displaced.
Remove any spilled salt from the filler neck
and replace the cap firmly. Replace the lower
basket.
Important!
To prevent salt from entering the washing
cycle close the cap to the salt container firmly.
Cloudy glassware may result from salt getting
into the washing water. No salt residues must
be left on the bottom of the tub. To ensure
that all salt residues are removed, select a
rinse and hold programme or, a complete
wash programme if you have enough dirty
crockery, after the salt container has been
filled.
To replenish the salt container
Replenish the salt container when the lamp
above Symbol !=s on the control panel
(fig. 1/IV) is on.
Please note
For water hardness area 1 - see page 10, no
salt is required and symbol (=3 will light up
every time the machine is switched on. Please
ignore the light in this particular instance - it
does not affect the operation of the machine.
Filling the rinse aid container
Rinse aid is dispensed automatically during
the final hot rinse. It prevents water drops from
clinging to the crockery and gives the final
sparkle to the china and glassware.
Important!
Use only rinse aids suitable for domestic
dishwashers - we recommend Finish.
Never use normal washing up liquids. These
have high sudsing properties and are unsuit¬
able for dishwashers.
You will find the rinse aid container on the
inside of the door (fig. 2/E). Open the contain¬
er by turning the lid a quarter turn to the left
(fig. 7/arrow) and slowly pour rinse aid into
the filler neck up to the dotted line (fig. 8).
Replace the lid and close by turning it clock¬
wise. The container will take approx. 150cc,
which will last for approx. 50 programmes.
Wipe off any spilled rinse aid to prevent
excess foaming during the next wash cycle.
Rinse aid refill indicator
Replenish the rinse aid container when the ,
level indicator window (fig. 8) shows a dark
dot surrounded by a lighter circle (©). When
the container is full the window is darker in
