Rinseaidandrefined 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 LOWRINSE AID*indicator lighton the control
panelis illuminated; 1. Openthedispenserbyturningthe
lid(G)inananticlockwisedirection.
2.Pourintherinseaid,makingsureit

If this happens, clean the spill
immediatelywithadrycloth.
3.Screwthelidbackon.
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
usingrefined saltdesigned especiallyfor thistype ofappliance,
supplieswater without limescale which isthen used to wash the
crockery.
Thisdishwasher offers a setting whichhelps 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)
hardness2(indicatorlight1 illuminated,indicatorlight2flashing).
hardness3 (indicator lights 1 and2 illuminated, indicatorlight 3
flashing and so on).
- To exit the function, wait approximately few seconds or press
another option*button,or switch off the machine using the ON/
OFF button.
Even if using multi-functional tablets, the salt dispenser should
stillbe filled.
(°dH = hardness measured in German degrees - °f = hardness
measuredin 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.
Thesalt dispenser is located inthe lower partof 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
containercap (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
saltcontainer right upto its edge(this shouldholdapproximately
1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak out.
4. Remove the funnel*andwipe any salt residue away from the
opening;rinse the capunder runningwater and thenscrew iton,
thehead facing downwardsso as tolet the waterflow out ofthe
fourcracks whichare arranged in a star shape onthe lowerpart
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.
