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.

Loading the Salt into the Softener

Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.

The salt container 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.

The salt container must be filled when the "low salt" indicator light

appears on the control panel.

To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before begin-

ning a wash cycle.

Adjusting Salt Consumption

The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of

salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used. This is

intended to optimise and customise the level of salt consumption

so that it remains at a minimum.

To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows:

- Unscrew the cap from the salt container;

- There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see figure to

  the side).

- If necessary, rotate the ring in the anticlockwise direction from

  the "-" setting towards the "+" sign, based on the hardness of

  the water being used.

It is recommended that adjustments be made in accordance with

the following scheme:

Detergent and Rinse Aid

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

the door.

Loading the detergent

To open the "A" cover on the dispenser, press the "B" button.

The detergent for the wash cycle should be poured into the "C"

compartment.

After the detergent has been placed in the dispenser, close the

cover and press down until it clicks in place.

NOTE: To facilitate closing the cover, remove any excess de-

tergent on the edges of the dispenser.

Rinse Aid

This product makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry with-

out spotting. The dispenser is located on the inside panel of the

door and should be filled after every 80 wash cycle (or when the

rinse aid indicator light comes on for models with this feature).

Loading the Rinse Aid

To open the dispenser, turn the "C" cap in an anti-clockwise

direction and then pour in the rinse aid, making sure not to overfill.

The amount of rinse aid used for each cycle can be regulated by

turning the "F" dosage adjuster, located beneath the "C" cap,

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.
