Rinse aid and refined salt
M
A
X
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.)
Measuring out the rinse aid
Rinseaidmakesiteasierforthecrockerytodry,aswaterrunsoff
the surfaces more readily and therefore does not leave streaks
or marks. The rinse aid dispenser should be filled:
• WhentheLOWRINSEAIDindicatorlight* on the control panel
is illuminated, a reserve supply of rinse aid is still available
for1-2cycles;
1.Openthedispenser“D” by pressing and pulling up the tab
on the lid;
2.Carefully introducetherinseaid asfaras themaximum
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.
Rinse-aid dispenser setting
Setting the water hardness
Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, by
using refined salt specially designed 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 the organisation which supplies your household
with water.

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.
