FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR

The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the dishes and on

the machine’s functional components.

The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (under the

lower rack on the left side).

• It is mandatory that

the salt reservoir never be empty.

• It is important to set the water hardness.

• Salt must be filled when the SALT REFILL indicator light on the con-

trol panel is lit.

1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap

(anticlockwise).

2. Position the funnel

(see figure)

and fill the salt reservoir

right up to its edge (approximately 0,5 kg); it is not un-

usual for a little water to leak out.

3. Only the first time you do this: fill the salt reservoir

with water.

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

Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly so that no detergent can get into

the container during the wash program (this could damage the water

softener beyond repair).

Run a program every time as soon as you completed refilling the salt

reservoir to avoid corrosion.

Setting the water hardness

To allow the water softener to work in a perfect way, it is essential that

the water hardness setting is based on the actual water hardness in your

house. This information can be obtained from your local water supplier.

The factory setting is “

3

”. See „WATER HARDNESS TABLE”

.

To change, follow instructions in section “SETTING MENU”.

-

Only use salt that has been specifically designed for dishwashers.

After the salt has been poured into the machine, the SALT REFILL indicator

light switches off.

If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the heating

element may be damaged as a result of limescale accumulation.

Use of salt is recommended with any type of dishwasher detergent.

WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM

Water softener automatically reduces water hardness, consequently pre-

venting scale buildup on the heater, contributing also to better cleaning ef-

ficiency.

This system regenerates itself with salt, therefore it is required

to refill the salt container when empty.

The

frequency of regeneration

depends on the water hardness level setting - regeneration takes place

once per

4-6

Eco cycles with the water hardness level set to

3

. The regen-

eration process occurs at the beginning of the cycle with additional fresh

water.

• Single regeneration consumes: ~3L of water;

• Takes up to 5 additional minutes for the cycle;

• Consumes below 0.005kWh of energy.

FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER

Rinse aid makes dish DRYING easier. The rinse aid dispenser

A

should be

filled when the RINSE AID REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit.

1. Open the dispenser

B

by

pressing and pulling up the

tab on the lid.

2. Pour in the rinse aid (max.110

ml), making sure it does not

overflow from the dispenser.

If this happens, clean the spill

immediately with a dry cloth.

3. Press the lid down until you hear a click to close it.

NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.

Adjusting the dosage of rinse aid

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

the quantity of rinse aid used.

To change, follow instructions in the section “SETTING MENU”.

If the rinse aid level is set to ZERO, no rinse aid will be supplied. The

LOW

RINSE AID indicator light

will not be lit if you run out of rinse aid.

A maximum of

6

levels can be set according to the dishwasher model.

• If you see bluish streaks on the dishes, set a low number (0-3).

• If there are drops of water or limescale marks on the dishes, set

a mid-range number (4-5).
