Filling with salt

Special salt can be added in one of two ways:

If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains salt, the detergent including the salt is placed in the detergent compartment.

-In this case the water softener must manually be set to 1 and electronically to 1 to ensure that the special salt is taken from the detergent container only.

If you are using dishwasher detergent and salt separately, the special salt is to be put into the salt container.

-In this case the water softener must manually be set to 1 or 2 and electronically between 1 and 5 (depending on the water hardness in your area) to ensure that the special salt is taken from the salt container only.

Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers.

All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener.

Only fill with salt just before starting one of the washing programmes.

This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilt, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.

To fill:

1.Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt container by turning it anticlockwise.

2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (

this is necessary

only before filling with salt for the first time

).

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. The dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing programmes, depending upon the dosage setting.

Rinse aid can be added in one of two ways:

If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains rinse aid, the detergent including the rinse aid is placed in the detergent compartment.

-In this case the rinse aid compartment must be empty and the rinse aid indicator light deactivated.

If in the rinse aid dispenser there is still rinse aid you must wait until it has finished before using detergent that contains rinse aid.

If you are using dishwasher detergent and rinse aid separately, the rinse aid is to be put into the rinse aid dispenser.

-In this case the rinse aid dosage must be set in position

from 1 to 6 (see "Adjusting the dose") and the rinse aid indicator light activated.

Filling with rinse aid

(Rinse aid dispenser type A)

1.Open the container by pressing the release button (A).

2.Fill with rinse aid exactly up to the level marked "MAX".

3.Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until the container is full.

4.Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.

5.Screw on the cap tightly turning it clockwise until it stops with a click.

Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.

Adjusting the dose

The salt container will require topping up periodically. You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the control panel which comes on when the salt has finished.

Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal.

According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (position 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage).

Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing.

The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched

on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The function of the machine is not affected.

The dose is factory set in position 4.

Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes.
