Rinse aid and refined salt

Only use products which have been specifically designed

for dishwashers.
Do not use table/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

any 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 will stay lit.

Setting the water hardness

Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, by
using refined salt specially designed 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 the organisation which supplies your household

with water.
- Switch the dishwasher on and off using the

ON/OFF

button.

It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you add
salt to the dispenser.

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).
