Salt
Detergent and Rinse Aid
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.
Adjusting Salt Consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of salt consumed according to the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimise and customise the level of salt consump- tion so that it remains at a minimum.
To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows:
Detergent
Detergent specifically intended for use with dishwashers must be used. The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the "Wash Cycle Table ". The detergent dispenser is located on the inside panel of the door.
Rinse Aid
This product makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry without spotting. The dispenser is located on the inside panel of the door and should be filled after every 80 wash cycles.
Loading the Salt into the Softener
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers. The salt con- tainer is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:
-Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container;
-If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with water;
-Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and intro duce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container.
-Carefully screw the cap back on.
To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before begin- ning a wash cycle.
-Unscrew the cap from the salt container;
-On the neck of the container there is a ring with an arrow on it (see figure above). If necessary, turn the ring
-It is highly recommended that the following table be consulted when making adjustments.

Notice: To facilitate closing the cover, remove any excess detergent on the edges of the dispenser.
Loading the Rinse Aid
To open the dispenser, turn cap "C" anticlockwise and then add the rinse aid, making sure not to overfill.
The amount of rinse aid used for each cycle can be regu- lated by turning dose adjuster "F", located beneath cap "C", with a screwdriver. There are 6 different settings; the normal dosage setting is 3.
Important:
Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying.
If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs, the dosage adjuster should be turned to a higher setting. If the dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjuster to a lower setting.
