 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

. 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 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 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.

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 +.
