Salt ......
Salt
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If
hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on
the dishes and utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses
a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals
from the water.
Loading the Salt into the Softener
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is
locatedbeneaththelower
rack and should be filled
as follows:
1. Remove the lower rack
and then unscrew and
remove the cap from the
salt container;
2. If you are filling the
containerfor the firsttime,
fill it with water;
3. Place the end of the
funnel (supplied) into the
hole and introduce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a
small amount of water to come out of the salt container.
4. Carefully screw the cap back on.
The salt container should be filled after about every
30 wash cycles.
Warning: To prevent rust from forming, we advise you to
load the salt before starting a wash cycle.
Adjusting Salt Consumption
Thedishwasher is designedtoallow for adjustingtheamount
of salt consumed based on the
harness of the water used. This
isintended to optimize andcus-
tomizethe level ofsaltconsump-
tion so that it remains at a
minimum.
Your Local Water Board can
supplythe degree of hardness of
thewater
in your area.
Toadjustsalt consumption, pro-
ceed as follows:
1) Unscrew the cap from the salt container.
2) There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see
figure to the side), if necessary, rotate the ring in the anti-
clockwise direction from the "_" setting towards the "+"
sign, based on the hardness of the water being used.
It is recommended that adjustments be made in accord-
ance with the following schema:

regulatedby turning the "F" dose adjustor, located beneath
the "C" cap, with a screwdriver. There are 6 different
settings; the normal dosage setting is 4.
Important:
Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying.

the dosage adjustor should be turned to a higher setting. If
the dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjustor to a

Loading the Dishwasher
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove the
larger food particles to prevent the filter from becoming
clogged, which results in reduced performance.
Ifthe pots and panshave baked-on food thatis extremely
hard to remove, we recommend that they be allowed to
soak before they are washed. This will eliminate the need
for extra wash cycles.
Pull out the racks to facilitate loading the dishwasher.
How to Use the Lower Rack
We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean
items on the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes
and bowls, as shown in the figure to the right.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the
sides of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation
of the top spray arm.
- Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed top
down.
- Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow
out.
- Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket.
This basket is equipped with two removable grids: insert
the cutlery one by one into the slots; knives and utensils
with sharp blades or tips should be positioned with the
sharppartsatthebottom. Position all cutlery items so that
they don't touch (see figure A).
-Especially long utensils should be placed in the horizon-
tal position at the front of the upper rack.
How to Use the Upper Rack
The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and
lighter dishware, such as glasses, coffee and tea cups
and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow
pans (as long as they are not too dirty).
- Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not
get moved by the spray of water.
How to adjust the Upper rack ...
The top rack can be adjusted using the two rack heights
(top and bottom). To adjust the rack, open up the tabs
that lock the guides and pull out the rack. Arrange the
rack with the back wheels in either the top or bottom
position and then insert it along the guides until the front
wheels are on as well. Close the tabs to lock the rack in
place (see Fig. F).

Energy Saving Tips
-Itis important to try and runthedishwasher when it is fully
loaded in order to save on energy. In order to prevent odors
from forming and food from caking onto the dishes, you
can run the hold cycle.
- Choose the right wash cycle: the choice of cycle depends
on the type of dishware, cookware and utensils being
washed and how dirty they are.
- Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much
detergent, the result will not be cleaner dishes, but, rather,
a greater negative impact on the environment.
- There is no utility in rinsing dishes, cookware and utensils
before placing them in the dishwasher.
How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape
After Every Wash
Afterevery wash, turn offthe water supply tothe appliance
and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors
are not trapped inside.
Remove the Plug
Beforecleaningor performing maintenance, always remove
the plug from the socket. Do not run risks.
No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products
Toclean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher,do
not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather, use
only a cloth and warm soapy water.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior,
use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar,
or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
When You Go on Holiday
When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a
wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove
the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and
leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This will help
theseals last longer and prevent odors fromforming within
the appliance.
Moving the Appliance
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical
position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its
back.
Seals
Oneof the factorsthatcauseodors to forminthedishwasher
is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning
with a damp sponge will prevent this from occuring.
