! Only use products that have been specifically

designed for dishwashers.

Do not use table salt or industrial salt.

! If using a multi-functional product (2-in-1, 3-in-1, 4-in-1,

etc..) 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. If

you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT* and

LOW RINSE AID* indicator lights will flash

continuously.

Loading 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:

• whenever the indicator light (H) signals that it is

empty. Illuminated light: add rinse aid; unlit light:

there is no shortage of rinse aid in the dispenser.

• when the LOW RINSE AID* indicator light on the

panel flashes;

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 sponge.

3. Screw the lid back on.

Adjusting the amount of rinse aid

If you are not completely satisfied with the washing

or drying results, you may adjust the quantity of

rinse aid used. Use a screwdriver to turn the dosage

adjuster to one of the 6 pre-set positions (the default

position is set to 4):

• if there are white streaks on the crockery, set the

adjuster to a lower number (1-3).

• if drops of water remain on the crockery or there

are limescale marks present after the cycle has

finished, set the adjuster to a higher number (4-6).

! If you are using multi-functional tablets (2-in-1, 3-in-1,

4-in-1, etc..) and you wish to further improve the

drying performance of the appliance, fill the

dispenser and set the dosage adjuster to 2.

Loading the refined salt

In order to obtain the best possible results from 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 panel

flashes;

• if your machine is not equipped with an indicator

light or a green float:

approximately every 30 wash cycles;

1. Remove the lower rack and

unscrew the cap of the

dispenser (in an anti-

clockwise direction).

2. For the first wash cycle

only: fill the dispenser up to

the edges with water.

3. Position the funnel provided

correctly (

see figure

) and fill the salt dispenser up to

the edges (approximately 2 kg); it is normal for a

little water to leak out.

4. Remove the funnel, wipe away any salt residue

from the thread and screw the cap on tightly, so that

detergent does not leak into the dispenser during

the wash cycle (this could damage the water

softening system beyond repair).

! When salt has been added, run a wash cycle

immediately, without crockery, in order to remove

any salt solution that has leaked out and to avoid

corrosion.

Adjusting the amount of salt*

It is possible to adjust the amount of salt used

according to the hardness of the water in your area

(this information is available from your local water

board).

1. Unscrew the dispenser cap.

2. Turn the arrow on the neck of the

dispenser (

see figure

) towards the

+ or - symbols, using the table

below as a guide.

The default setting of the water softening system is +.

- If using multi-functional tablets (2-in-1, 3-in-1, 4-in-1)

fill the salt dispenser and set the adjuster to -; if the

hardness of the water is greater than 60°fH, set it to +.

* Only available in selected models.
