7.2 TimeManager

The TimeManager allows to reduce the

duration of a selected programme by

The washing results are the same as

with the normal programme duration. The

drying results can decrease.
This option increases the pressure and

the temperature of the water. The

washing and the drying phases are

shorter.
By default, TimeManager is off, but it is

possible to activate it manually. This

option cannot be combined with XtraDry.

8. BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Make sure that the current level of

the water softener agrees with the

hardness of the water supply. If

not, adjust the level of the water

softener.

2. Fill the salt container.

3. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.

4. Open the water tap.

5. Start a programme to remove any

processing residuals that can still be

inside the appliance. Do not use

detergent and do not put dishes in

the baskets.

After starting the programme, the

appliance recharges the resin in the

water softener for up to 5 minutes. The

washing phase starts only after this

procedure is complete. The procedure is

repeated periodically.

8.1 The salt container

CAUTION!

Use rough salt designed for

dishwashers only. Fine salt

increases the risk of

corrosion.

The salt is used to recharge the resin in

the water softener and to assure good

washing results in daily use.

How to fill the salt container

1. Turn the cap of the salt container

counterclockwise and remove it.

2. Put 1 litre of water in the salt

container (only for the first time).

3. Fill the salt container with dishwasher

salt (until it is full).
