This function activates an antibacterial rinse at the end of the wash cycle, guaranteeing a further reduction of bacteria. Press the button to activate or deactivate the function. This function can be used with the programs indicated in the table of programs. The dishwasher door must be kept shut for the entire duration of the program in order to guarantee reduction of bacteria. If the door is opened the indicator lamp starts flashing.

TABLET SETTING This setting allows to optimize the cycle performances according the type of detergent used.

Daily check

Filling the salt reservoir - Dissolve limescale (not necessary if water hardness level is set to “soft”!)

Screw on the cap. Salt residual around the cap need to be removed. Some salt reservoir have a level indicator integrated in the cap (see below how to check).

At first time use, the salt reservoir has to be filled independently from water hardness level (see description below in step 1 “Daily check”).

- Press and hold together Programs and CANCEL/Off buttons for minimum 3 seconds.

- The current water hardness setting will be visible on the display.

- Press the Programs button to increase setting. Value range goes from 1 to 7 (when the le vel reac hes 7, t he next pr ess of t he start button will set the level back to 1).

Water hardness level is factory set for medium-hard water (level 4).

Even if you use tablets which include salt functionality, you must still add regeneration salt since such detergents are not effective enough at softening hard water.

Once regeneration salt is added, immediately start a wash program (the “Pre-wash” program alone is not sufficient). Residual saline solution or grains of salt can lead to deep-down corrosion, irreparably damaging the stainless steel components. The guarantee is not applicable if faults are caused by such circumstances.

How to set water hardness in order to always assure the best cleaning results

First time use

GB -3-

Daily use

Adding detergent - Use only detergent specifically for dishwashers in accordance with the supplier’s recommendations

Open the cover A

(press the dedicated button).

Only fill the detergent dispenser prior to starting a wash program.

Shut the cover

by pressing dedicated ribs.

Insert detergent: Tablet / powder / liquid

into the big chamber.

Use only one tablet per one cycle, only placed in detergent dispenser.

All types of tablets can be used, but for 2 in 1 type adding of salt is mandatory.

If required, open the cover B (press the dedicated button).

Add rinse aid to the max. line ~150 ml

The rinse aid dosage can be adjusted to the detergent used. The lower the setting, the less rinse aid is dispensed (factory setting: position 4). Press the button to open the cover B. Using a coin or similar object, turn the arrow to the desired setting. After adjusting the rinse aid setting, shut the cover again.

Visual indicator

Check the rinse aid indicator to check the level into the dispenser.

(depending on the model) Rinse aid indicator on the control panel Rinse aid indicator on the dispenser

The indicator lamp lights up when RINSE AID NEEDS TO BE ADDED.

dark: OK. clear: NEEDS TO BE ADDED

Only use rinse aids recommended for use in domestic dishwashers. Immediately wipe away any rinse aid spilt accidentally. This prevents the formation of excess suds which can cause a fault function of the appliance.

If there are streaks: reduce the dosage by turning the dial to a lower setting (1-3). If crockery is not perfectly dry: increase the dosage by turning the dial to a higher setting (5-6). Plastic dishes have more difficulty drying and a higher rinse aid setting will not improve the situation.

Detergents with rinse aid incorporated may be effective only with longer programs. In the case of shorter programs, detergent residue may be a problem (if necessary, use powder detergent). Detergents with rinse aid incorporated tend to form excess suds.
