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 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 the organisation which supplies your

household with water.

- Open the door and switch on the machine by pressing the

ON/OFF button.

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

two short beeps will sound and the set hardness number will

flash slowly on the display (the water softening system is set

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).

- To exit the function, wait approximately 30 seconds or press

another option button, 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 is

illuminated;

1. Remove the lower rack and

unscrew the cap of the dispenser

(in an anti-clockwise direction).

2. For the first wash cycle only: fill

the dispenser up to the edges with

water.

3. Position the funnel* correctly (see

figure) and fill the salt dispenser up

to the edges (approximately 1 kg); it is normal for a little water

to leak out.

4. Remove the funnel, wipe away any salt residue from the

opening and screw the cap on tightly, so that detergent does

not leak into the dispenser during the wash cycle (this could

damage the water softening system 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.
