Loading The Salt Into The Softener

NOTE:

If your model does not have any water softener, you may skip this section.

Always use salt intended for dishwasher use.

The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be lled as explained in the following:

WARNING:

xOnly use salt specically designed for dishwashers use!

Every other type of salt not specically designed for dishwasher use, especially table salt, will damage the

water softener. In case of damages caused by the use of unsuitable salt the manufacturer does not give

any warranty nor is liable for any damages caused.

xOnly ll with salt before running a cycle.

This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of

the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.

EN - 8

Please follow the steps below for adding dishwasher salt:

1. Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.

2. Place the end of the funnel (if supplied) into the hole and pour in about 1.5 kg of dishwasher salt.

3. Fill the salt container to its maximum limit with water, It is normal for a small amount of water to come

out of the salt container.

4. After lling the container, screw back the cap tightly.

5. The salt warning light will turn o after the salt container has been lled with salt.

6. Immediately after lling the salt into the salt container, a washing program should be started (We

suggest to use a short program). Otherwise the lter system, pump or other important parts of the

machine may be damaged by salty water. This is out of warranty.

NOTE:

xThe salt container must only be relled when the salt warning light (

) in the control panel comes on.

Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be on even though the salt

container is lled.

xIf there is no salt warning light in the control panel (for some models), you can estimate when to ll the

salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher has run.

xIf salt has spilled, run a soak or quick program to remove it.

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 container specically designed to

eliminate lime and minerals from the water.

Preparing And Loading Dishes

Recommendations for loading the dishwasher

Scrape o any large amounts of leftover food. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans. It is not necessary to

rinse the dishes under running water.

For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines.

(Features and appearance of baskets and cutlery baskets may vary from your model.)

Place objects in the dishwasher in the following way:

xItems such as cups, glasses, pots, pans, etc. must face downwards.

xCurved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded aslant so that water can run o.

xAll utensils are stacked securely and can not tip over.

xAll utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.

xLoad hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. With the opening facing downwards so that water

cannot collect in the container or a deep base.

xDishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.

EN - 17

xTo avoid damage, glasses should not touch one another.

xThe upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coee and tea

cups.

xLong bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard!

xLong and sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper

basket.

xPlease do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and for reasonable consumption

of energy.

NOTE:

Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the basket.

Removing the dishes

To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower basket, we recommend that you empty the

lower basket rst, followed by the upper basket.

WARNING

Items will be hot! To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher for around 15

minutes after the program has ended.

Loading the upper basket

The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coee 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 will not get moved by the spray of water.

Loading the lower basket

We suggest that you place large and dicult to clean items into the lower basket: such as pots, pans, lids,

serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the gure below. It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the

side of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.

The maximum diameter advised for plates in front of the detergent dispenser is of 19 cm, this not to hamper

the opening of it.

EN - 18

Loading the cutlery basket

Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery basket separate from each other in the appropriate positions. Avoid

nesting of the cutlery to prevent insucient cleaning performance.

WARNING

Do not let any item extend through the bottom.

Always load sharp utensils with the sharp point down!

For the best washing eect, please load the baskets refer to standard loading options.

Function Of The Rinse Aid And Detergent

The rinse aid is released during the nal rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes, which

can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to run o the dishes. Your dishwasher is

designed to use liquid rinse aids.

WARNING

Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never ll the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g.

Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.

When to rell the rinse aid

The regularity of the dispenser needing to be relled depends on how often dishes are washed and the rinse

aid setting used.

xThe Low Rinse Aid indicator (

) will be lit when more rinse aid is needed.

Do not overll the rinse aid dispenser.

Function of detergent

The chemical ingredients that compose the detergent are necessary to remove, crush and dispense all dirt

out of the dishwasher. Most of the commercial quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.

WARNING

xProper Use of Detergent

Use only detergent specically made for dishwashers use. Keep your detergent fresh and dry.

Do not ll detergent into the dispenser until you are ready to start the dishwasher.

xDishwasher detergent is corrosive! Keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children.
