Rinse aid and refined salt
Only use products which have been specifically designed
for dishwashers.
Do not use table/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
any rinse aid. However, we recommend that you add salt,
especially if you live in an area where the water is hard or
(Follow the instructions given on the packaging).
very hard.
If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT
LOW RINSE AID indicator lights will stay 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
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
F
dispenser. If this happens, clean
the spill immediately with a dry
G
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 wa-
ter hardness level in your area. This information can be obtained
from the organisation 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 first to wash cycle 5, then
to wash cycle 1, then to wash cycle 5 again.
- Press the ON/OFF button; the wash cycle phase indicator lights
will flash. It is now possible to select the water hardness level.
There is a water hardness level for every wash cycle:
*
and
indicator light on the control
E.g.: wash cycle 1, water hardness level 1
wash cycle 2, water hardness level 2, etc. etc., up to a maximum
*
of five
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 filled.

Measuring out the refined salt
In order to obtain the best possible results from a wash cycle,
make sure that the salt 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 RINSE AID indicator light on the control panel
*
is illuminated
;
1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew
the cap (anticlockwise).
2. The first time you do this: fill the water
tank right up to its edge.
3. Position the funnel
fill the salt dispenser up to the edge
(approximately 1 kg). It is normal for a
little water to leak out.
4. Remove the funnel* and wipe any salt residues 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 slots (star-shaped arrangement) in the lower part of
*
the cap (cap with green float
It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you add
salt to the dispenser.
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.
