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

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

remain 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

* indicator light on the control

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

dispenser. If this happens, clean the

spill immediately with a dry 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 water hardness level in your area. This information can

be obtained from the organisation which supplies your

household with water.- Open the door and switch on the

machine by pressing the ON/OFF button.

- Press the P button and hold for approximately 5 seconds;

two short beeps will sound and the indicator light

corresponding to the set degree of hardness will flash

slowly on the control panel (the water softening system is

set to number 3).

- Press the P button repeatedly until the desired hardness

level has been reached (1-2-3-4-5

* see Water hardness

table).

E.g. hardness 1 (indicator light 1 flashing)

hardness 2 (indicator light 1 illuminated, indicator light 2

flashing).

hardness 3 (indicator lights 1 and 2 illuminated, indicator light

3 flashing and so on).

- 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.

(°dH = hardness measured in German degrees - °f = hardness

measured in French degrees - mmol/l = millimoles per litre)

Measuring out the refined salt

In order to achieve the best possible results using a wash

cycle, make sure that the 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 SALT

* indicator light on the control panel is

illuminated;

1. Remove the lower rack and

unscrew the container 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 container right up to its

edge (this should hold approximately

1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to

leak out.

4. Remove the funnel

* and wipe any salt residue 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 cracks which are arranged in a star shape

on the lower part of the cap. (Salt cap with green float

It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you

add salt to the container.

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.

For values between 0°f and 10°f, we do not

recommend the use of salt.

* this setting may cause a slight increase in the

duration of the cycle.
