Set the water softener

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance. The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German degrees (°dH), French degrees (°TH) and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit for the hardness of water). The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area. The water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using the water hardness dial and electronically.

Setting manually

The dishwasher is factory set at position 2.

1. Open the dishwasher door.

2. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.

3. Turn the water hardness dial to position 1 or 2 (see table).

4. Replace the lower basket.

Setting electronically

The dishwasher is factory set at level 5. Enter Option menu - SETTINGS - WATER HARDNESS . Using the up and down scrolling buttons set the level of the water softener according to the hardness of the water in your area (see chart).

Use of dishwasher salt

WARNING!

Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers. All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes. This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilt, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.

To fill:

1. Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt container by turning it anticlockwise.

Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary only before filling with salt for the first time) .

3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until the container is full.

4. Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.

5. Replace the cap tightly turning it clockwise until it stops with a click.

Do not worry if water overflows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal.

The salt container will require topping up periodically.

Use of rinse aid

You are reminded of this by a displayed message REFILL SALT . This occurs only at the start and at the end of the washing programme; during the running of the programme the indication for salt refilling is not active.

The refilling salt message can remain visible for 2-6 hours after the salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The function of the machine is not affected.

Use of rinse aid

WARNING!

Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.

Rinse aid ensures thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse.

1. Open the container by pressing the release button (A).

2. Add the rinse aid in the container. The maximum level for filling is indicated by "max".

The dispenser holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for between 16 and 40 dishwashing cycles, depending upon the dosage setting.

3. Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.

Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.

The rinse aid container will require topping up periodically. You are reminded of this by a displayed message REFILL RINSE AID .

Daily use

This occurs only at the start and at the end of the washing programme; during the running of the programme the indication for rinse aid refilling is not active.

Adjusting the dosage of rinse aid

According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (position 1= minimum dosage, position 6= maximum dosage). The dose is factory set in position 4.

Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

Daily use

• Check if it's necessary to refill with dishwasher salt or rinse aid.

• Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher.

• Fill with dishwasher detergent.

• Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and dishes.

Detergent tablets

Detergent tablets from different manufactures dissolve at different rates. For this reason, some detergent tablets do not attain their full cleaning power during short washing programmes. Therefore, please use long washing programmes when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.

Multitab function

This appliance is equipped with the "Multitab function", that allows the use of the "Multitab " combi detergent tablets. These products are detergents with a combined cleaning, rinsing and salt functions.

See the manufacturers instructions. Select the "Multitab function " before the start of a washing programme. Once this function is selected it will remain active also for the following washing programmes. With the selection of this function the inflow of rinse aid and salt from each respective supply container is automatically deactivated and also the displayed messages for salt and rinse aid are deactivated. With the use of the "Multitab function", the cycle durations may change. In this case, in the display, the indication of the running time of the programme is automatically updated.

Washing programmes

Once the programme is running, the "Multitab function " can NO longer be changed. If you want to exclude the "Multitab function " you have to cancel the programme setting and then deactivate the "Multitab function ". In this case you have to set a washing programme (and desired options) again.
