5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser
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, Clarke degrees, 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, by the means of the
programme selection/cancel button.
a) Setting manually
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.
The dishwasher is factory set at position 2.
b)Setting electronically
The dishwasher is factory set at level 5.
1. With the dishwasher switched off, press the On/Off button. The end of cycle indicator light flashes (setting mode). In case salt and/or rinse aid refilling is necessary the corresponding indicator lights illuminate.
If one of the washing programme indicator lights is on, this means that a washing programme has been set. The setting must be cancelled: press for about 3 seconds the programme selection/cancel button; the indicator light of the set programme turns off and the end of cycle indicator light flashes, indicating that the set programme has been cancelled and that the machine is now in setting mode.
2. Press and keep pressed the programme selection/cancel button until the programme indicator light 1 turns on and programme indicator light 2 flashes, indicating that you have activated the water softener setting function. After a few seconds the end of cycle indicator light starts flashing.
The current level is indicated by a sequence of flashes of the end of cycle indicator light, a sequence of intermittent audible signals and a pause of a few seconds (see chart).
Example: 5 flashes/5 audible signals + pause + 5 flashes/5 audible signals etc...= level 5
3. To change the level, press the programme selection/cancel button.
Each time the button is pressed the level changes. (For the selection of the new level, see chart).
Examples: if the current level is 5, by pressing the programme
selection/cancel button once, level 6 is selected. if the current level is 10, by pressing the programme
selection/cancel button once, level 1 is selected.
The end of cycle indicator light remains off for a few seconds and then starts flashing indicating the new selection is set.
5. To memorise the operation, switch off the machine by pressing the On/Off button or wait for about 60 seconds, after which the machine will automatically return to setting mode.

Filling with dishwasher salt
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.
2. 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 on the cap tightly turning it clockwise until it stops with a click.
The salt container will require topping up periodically. You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the control panel which comes on when the salt has finished.
The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated 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.
Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal.
Rinse aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.
The dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing programmes, depending upon the dosage setting.
Filling with rinse aid
1. Open the container by pressing the release button (A).
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The
maximum level for filling is indicated by "max".
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.
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.
Adjusting the dose
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.
Top up the rinse aid when the indicator (B) becomes clear.

Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher.
Fill with dishwasher detergent .
Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and
dishes.
Start the wash programme.
Loading cutlery and dishes
Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water may not be washed in the dishwasher.
Before loading the dishes, you should:
- Remove large left-overs.
- Soften remnants of burnt food in pans
When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:
- Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms .
- Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
- Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
- To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
- Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.
Plastic items and pans with teflon have a tendency to
retain water drops; these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel items.
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.
Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the spray arms can turn freely.
The cutlery basket
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard. Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives.
Forks and spoons should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards and the knives with their handles facing upwards. If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upwards.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together.
For best results we recommend you to use the cutlery grid provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it).
