Salt







Salt

The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard
water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes
utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a
salt 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 rack and should
be filled as follows:

- Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove the cap
from the salt container;

- If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with water;

- Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and intro­ duce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water
to come out of the container.

- Carefully screw the cap back on.

The salt container should be filled after about every 30 wash
cycles. To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before

beginning a wash cycle.

Adjusting Salt Consumption

The dishwasher is equipped with a system to adjust the level of
salt consumption in function of the hardness of the water being
used in order to optimize and customize the level of salt con­sumption while keeping it to a minimum.
To adjust salt consumption level, follow these instructions:

- Unscrew the cap on the salt container;

- On the container there is an arrow (see figure to the side). If
necessary, turn the arrow in the anti-clockwise direction from
the "-" setting to the "+" setting based on the hardness of the
water being used.

- It is highly recommended that the table be consulted when
making adjustments .

Detergent and Rinse Aid







Detergent

Detergent specifically intended for use with dishwashers must
be used. The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each
wash cycle following the instructions provided in the "Wash Cycle
Table". The detergent dispenser is located on the inside panel
of the door.

Loading the detergent

To open the "A" cover on the dispenser, press the "B" button.
The detergent for the wash cycle should be poured into the "C"
compartment.
After the detergent has been placed in the dispenser, close the
cover and press down until it clicks in place.

Notice:To facilitate closing the cover, remove any excess
detergent on the edges of the dispenser.

Rinse Aid

This product makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry with­out spotting. The dispenser is located on the inside panel of the
door and should be filled after every 80 wash cycles.

Loading the Rinse Aid

Regardless of the type detergent dispenser installed on your
appliance, you must proceed as indicator below when loading
the rinse aid.
To open the dispenser, turn the "C" cap in the anti-clockwise
direction and then pour in the rinse aid, making sure not to overfill.
The amount of rinse aid used for each cycle can be regulated by
turning the "F" dose adjustor, located beneath the "C" cap, with
a screwdriver. There are 6 different settings; the normal dosage
setting is 3.

Important:

Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying.
If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs, the
dosage adjustor should be turned to a higher setting.
If the dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjustor to a
lower setting.

When the knob stops turning and is aligned with a STOP mark
(see figure), the cycle has finished. Turn off the appliance using
the ON-OFF button, turn off the water supply and open the door

Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid
handling the dishes and utensils while they are still hot and more
susceptible to breakage. They will also dry better.

This button (see "Close-up View - Control Panel", letter "F" ) is
used for normal dirty dishes, pots and pans. It is a standard daily
cycle.
If you choose the economic washing process, the washing time
is shorter than the common washing process,the temperature is
decreased by 5 degree ,the electricity consume is reduced
accordingly. This program is suitable for the light dirty dishware.

Important:

In general, it is not advisable to open the door while the machine
is working. Care must be taken if the door is opened during the
hot phase or immediately after a programm has finished as steam
may escape.

Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove the large
food particle to prevent the filter from becoming clogged, which
results in reduced performance.
If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely hard
to remove, we recommend that they be allowed to soak before
they are washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash
cycle.
Pull out the rack to facilitate loading the dishwasher.

How to Use the Lower Rack

We recommend that you place the items which are the most
difficult to clean items on the lower rack: pots, lids, serving dishes
and bowls, as shown in the figure to the right.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides of
the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray
arm.

- Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down.

- Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out.

- The silverware basket can be doubled (see fig.A) so that only
one section may be used when the silverware load is light.
This also makes space for additional pots and pans on the
lower rack.

- Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with the
handles at the bottom; if the rack has side baskets, the spoons
should be located individually into the appropriate slots. Espe­ cially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position
at the front of the upper rack.

How to Use the Upper Rack

The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter
dishware, such as glasses, coffee and tea cups and saucers, as
well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they
are not too dirty).
Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get moved
by the spray of water.
The upper rack can be adjusted for height. (See fig.B)

Shelf

Lean tall glasses and those with long stems against the shelf­not against other items to be washed(see fig.C).

- It is important to try and run the dishwasher when it is fully

loaded to save on energy. In order to prevent odors from form­ ing and food from caking onto the dishes, you can run the soak
cycle.

- Choose the right wash cycle: the choice of cycle depends on
the type of dishware, cookware and utensils being washed and
how dirty they are.

Energy Saving Tips

- Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much detergent,
the result will not be cleaner dishes, but, rather, a greater nega­ tive impact on the environment.

- There is no utility in rinsing dishes, cookware and untensils
before placing them in the dishwasher.

How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape

After Every Wash

After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and
leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors are not
trapped inside.

Remove the Plug

Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the
plug from the socket. Do not run risks.

No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products

To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not
use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather, use only a
cloth and warm soap water.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a
cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar, or a clean­ing products made specifically for dishwasher.

When You Go on Holiday

When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a wash
cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from
the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the
appliance slightly ajar. This will help the seals last longer and
prevent odors from forming within the appliance.

Moving the Appliance

If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical
position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.

Seals

One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher is
food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a
sponge will prevent this from occurring.
