Instruction manual DI631 Instruction manual DI63110 11
Please keep this instruction manual for future reference Please keep this instruction manual for future reference
» Fill the Rinse Aid dispenser.
» Fill in detergent.
WATER SOFTENER
The water softener must be set manually, using the water hardness dial.
The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, 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.
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.
ADJUSTING SALT CONSUMPTION
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjustment in the amount of salt consumed based on the
hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimise and customise the level of
salt consumption.
Please follow the steps below for adjustment in salt consumption:
1. Open the door and Switch on the appliance.
2. Press the Programme button for more than 5 seconds to start the water softener setting within
60 seconds after the appliance was switched on (The Salt and Rinse Aid warning lights will be
on periodically when it is in this setting mode).
3. Press the Programme button to select the proper set according to your local environment, the
sets will change in the following sequence: H1->H2->.H3->H4->H5->H6;
4. Press the Power button to end the set up model.
Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.
WATER SOFTENER
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher,
deposits will form on the dishes and utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt container specifically designed
to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.
LOADING THE SALT INTO THE SOFTENER
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as explained in
the following:
ATTENTION:
» Only use salt specifically designed for the use in dishwashers. Every other type
of salt not specifically designed for the use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage
the water softener. In case of damages caused by the use of unsuitable salt the manufacturer
does not give any warranty nor is liable for any damages caused.
» 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 spilled, remaining on the
bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.

» Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and insert about 1.5kg of dishwasher salt.
» Fill the salt container with water. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the
salt container.
(2)
» After filling the container, screw the cap tightly back on, turning clockwise.
» The salt warning light will turn off after the salt container has been filled with salt.
» Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing programme should be
started. Otherwise the filter system, pump or other important parts of the machine may be
damaged by salty water.
NOTE:
1. The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light in the control panel comes
on. Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be on even though
the salt container is filled.
2. If there are spills of the salt, a soak or a rapid programme should be run to remove the
excessive salt.
WHEN TO REFILL THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
The Rinse Aid warning light in the control panel will illuminate when the dispenser needs re-filling.
You can also estimate the remaining amount from the colour of the optical level indicator “C“
located next to the cap. When the Rinse Aid container is full, the whole indicator will be dark. As
the Rinse Aid diminishes, the size of the dark dot decreases. You should never let the Rinse Aid
level fall 1 / 4 full.
As the Rinse Aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the Rinse Aid level indicator changes, as

FILL THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
RINSE AID DISPENSER
The Rinse Aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your
dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to roll off the
dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid Rinse Aids. The Rinse Aid dispenser is located
inside the door next to the detergent dispenser. To fill the dispenser, open the cap and pour the
Rinse Aid into the dispenser until the level indicator turns completely black. The volume of the
Rinse Aid container is about 110ml.
FUNCTION OF RINSE AID
Rinse Aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and
streak free drying.
ATTENTION:
Only use branded Rinse Aid for dishwasher. Never fill the Rinse Aid dispenser with any other
substances (e.g. Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.
