Water hardness should be set only before the first wash or if water hardness has been changed

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.

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 PROGRAM Selection and CANCEL/Off buttons for minimum 3 seconds.

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

-Press the PROGRAM Selection button to increase setting. Value range goes from 1 to 7 (when the level reaches 7, the next press of the start button will set the level back to 1).

-Wait 30 seconds (control panel switches off) or press Start/Resume button to save setting.

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.

The salt level indicator lamp may remain lit at the end of several wash cycles. If the water hardness level falls within category (soft), no salt is required.

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.

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.

Insert detergent: Tablet / powder / liquid into the big chamber. Please look for the recommendation of the detergent manufacturer on the packaging of the detergent product.

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

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.

Some types of tablets may not dissolve completely during the short cycles (Rapid, Fragile, Handwash); placing the tablet on the tub bottom can help dissolving and washing.

Shut the cover
