c. How to adjust the rinse aid dosage regulator
The rinse aid dosage can be adjusted to the detergent used. The lower the setting, the less
rinse aid is dispensed (factory setting: position 4).
Press the lever 2 to open the cover.
Using a coin or similar object, turn the arrow to the desired setting.
After adjusting the rinse aid setting, shut the cover again.
If there are streaks: reduce the dosage by turning the dial to a lower setting (1-3). If crockery is
not perfectly dry: increase the dosage by turning the dial to a higher setting (5-6). Plastic dishes
have more difficulty drying and a higher rinse aid setting will not improve the situation.
HOW TO CHECK/FILL/ADJUST SALT
Only use regeneration salt specifically for dishwashers.
a. How to check the salt level
Depending on the model, check the visual indicator
needs to be added and orange when the salt present is sufficient. In the case of appliances with an electric indicator on
the control panel, the salt indicator
b. How to fill the salt container
- Remove the lower rack.
- Turn the salt container cap anti-clockwise to open it.
- When using the dishwasher for the first time, fill the salt container to the rim with water.
- Using the funnel provided, fill with regeneration salt to the rim (the first time,
min. 1.5 kg/max. 2 kg).
- Stir with the handle of a wooden spoon to help dissolve the salt.
- Close the cap of the salt container by turning it clockwise.
- Reinsert the lower rack.
Once regeneration salt is added, immediately start a wash programme (the "Pre-wash"
programme alone is not sufficient). Residual saline solution or grains of salt can lead to deep-
down corrosion, irreparably damaging the stainless steel components. The guarantee is not
applicable if faults are caused by such circumstances.
The salt level indicator lamp may remain lit for the duration of several wash cycles.
If the water hardness level falls within category 1 (soft), no salt is required.
c. How to set the water hardness level
- Switch on the appliance.
- Select the 2nd programme "P2" - consult the table 1.1 in chapter 1.
- Press the START button for at least 5 seconds until the START indicator lamp flashes.
- The set water hardness level is shown on the display (if present) or the START button flashes.
- With each successive touch of the START button the setting increases and when it reaches 7 it returns to 1 again.
- The appliance must be switched off to memorise the new setting.

Water hardness level is factory set at 3 for medium-hard water (display 4 or 4 flashes of the

Water hardness level 4 with combined action detergent
Even if you use a combined action detergent which includes salt, you must still add regeneration
salt since such detergents are not effective enough at softening hard water.
If the appliance is equipped with the function "Select detergent" (see chapter "1. Overview"),
set the detergent dispenser system to the "no salt" setting so that the salt indicator lamp remains
activated ("Detergent with rinse aid").
