Rinse aid and refined salt

Only use products which have been specifically

designed for dishwashers.

Do not use table salt or industrial salt, or washing

up liquid.

Follow the instructions given on the packaging.

If using a multi-functional product it is not necessary to add

rinse aid; however, we recommend that you add salt,

especially if you live in an area where the water is hard or

very hard. Follow the instructions given on the packaging.

If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW

SALT

* and LOW RINSE AID* indicator lights

remain lit.

Measuring out the rinse aid

Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water

runs off surfaces more readily and therefore does not leave

streaks or marks.

The rinse aid dispenser should be filled:

 When the LOW RINSE AID

* indicator light on the control

panel/dislay is illuminated;

1. Open the dispenser by turning

the lid (G) in an anticlockwise

direction.

2. Pour in the rinse aid, making

sure it does not overflow from the

dispenser. If this happens, clean

the spill immediately with a dry

cloth.

3. Screw the lid back on.

NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.

Adjusting the amount of rinse aid

If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you

may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a screwdriver

to turn the dosage adjuster (F) to one of the 6 pre-set

positions (the default position is set to 4):

 If there are streaks on the crockery, set the adjustment

device to a lower number (1-3).

 If drops of water remain on the crockery or if there are

limescale marks present after the cycle has finished, set

the adjuster to a higher number (4-6).

Setting the water hardness

Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, by

using refined salt designed especially for this type of appliance,

supplies water without limescale which is then used to wash the

crockery.

This dishwasher offers a setting which helps to reduce pollution

and optimises washing performance in accordance with the

water hardness level in your area. This information can be

obtained from your local water supplier.

- Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.

- Press the P button and hold for approximately 5 seconds; two

short beeps will sound, the text H2O will appear on the display

and the set hardness number will flash (the water softening

system is set by default to number 3). Press the P button

repeatedly until the desired hardness level has been reached

(1-2-3-4-5

* see Water hardness table), up to a maximum of

five levels.

- To exit the function, wait a few seconds or press one of the

option buttons

*, or switch off the machine using the ON/OFF

button.

Even if using multi-functional tablets, the salt dispenser should

still be filled.

(°dH = hardness measured in German degrees - °f =

hardness measured in French degrees - mmol/l = millimoles

per litre)

Measuring out the refined salt

In order to achieve the best possible results using a wash

cycle, make sure that the dispenser is never empty.

Refined salt removes limescale from the water, thus

avoiding the formation of deposits on crockery.

The salt dispenser is located in the lower part of the

dishwasher (see Description) and should be filled:

 When the green float

* cannot be seen by simply looking at

the cap of the salt dispenser.

 When the LOW SALT

* indicator light on the control panel/

display is illuminated;

1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the

container cap (anticlockwise).

2. The first time you do this: fill the water tank

right up to its edge.

3. Position the funnel

* (see figure) and fill the

salt container right up to its edge (this should hold

approximately 1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak

out.

4. Remove the funnel* and wipe any salt residue away from the

opening; rinse the cap under running water and then screw it

on, the head facing downwards so as to let the water flow out

of the four cracks which are arranged in a star shape on the

lower part of the cap. (Salt cap with green float

It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you

add salt to the container.

Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent

can get into the container during the wash cycle (this could

damage the water softener beyond repair).

When necessary, measure out the salt before a wash

cycle so that any saline solution which has leaked out of the

salt dispenser is removed.

* Only available in selected models.

For values between 0°f and 10°f, we do not

recommend the use of salt.

* this setting may cause a slight increase in the

duration of the cycle.
