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
very hard.
(Follow the instructions given on the packaging.)
If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT* and
LOW RINSE AID indicator lights will stay lit.
Measuring out the rinse aid

the surfaces more readily and therefore does not leave streaks
or marks. The rinse aid dispenser should be filled:

for1-2cycles;
1.Openthedispenser“D” by pressing and pulling up the tab

reference notch of the filling space - avoid spilling it. If this
happens, clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth.
3. Press the lid down until you hear a click to close it.
NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.

Setting the water hardness
Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, by
using refined salt designed specially 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
water hardness level in your area. This information can be
obtained from your local water supplier.
SwitchonthedishwasherusingtheON/OFFbutton,pressthe
Settings button and access the menu “Water hardness” using
the buttons next to the grey arrows. The set level appears on
the display
(water softener set to medium level).

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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*
(see figure)
and
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.
