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.

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.

NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance

tub.

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 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 necessary, measure out the salt before a

wash cycle so that any saline solution which has leaked

out of the salt dispenser is removed.

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.

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

hardness measured in French degrees - mmol/l =

millimoles per litre)

The default setting of the water softening system is +.

- If using multi-functional tablets 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.
