2- rinse aid dispenser
3- detergent dispenser
4- racks system
5,6,7,8- available functions on the panel
9- filters
10- spray arms
Water hardness should be set
only before the first wash or if
water hardness has been
changed
Water hardness level is
factory set for medium-hard
water (level 4).
Even if you use tablets
which include salt
functionality, you must still
add regeneration salt since
such detergents are not
effective enough at
softening hard water.
At first time use, the salt reservoir has to be filled independently from water hardness level (see description below in step 1 "Daily check").
Filling the salt reservoir - Dissolve limescale (not necessary if water hardness level is set to "soft"!)

(soft), no salt is required.
- Press and hold together Programs and CANCEL/Off buttons for minimum 3 seconds.
- Programs LEDs will indicate the water hardness setting.
- Press the Programs button to increase setting (when the level reaches 7, the next key press will set the level back to 1).
