Filling with dishwasher salt

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 complete 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

).

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. Replace the cap tightly turning it clockwise until it stops with a click.

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.

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.

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

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 between 16 and 40 dishwashing cycles, depending upon the dosage setting.

Filling with rinse aid

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

2.Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The maximum level for filling is indicated by "max".

Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.

Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.

Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.

Adjusting the dose

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).

The dose is factory set in position 4.

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

Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

Top up the rinse aid when the indicator light on the control panel illuminates.
