Rinse aid and refined salt
Only use products which have been specifically designed
for dishwashers.
Do not use table salt or industrial salt, or washing up liquid.
Follow the instructions given on the packaging.
If using a multi-functional product it is not necessary to any
add 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 remain lit.

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
water hardness level in your area. This information can be
obtained from your local water supplier.

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*
(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) on 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.
*Onlyavailableinselectedmodels.
