If your model does not have any water softener, you may skip this section.

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.

Always use the salt intended for use with dishwasher.

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 programs. 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.

A After the lower basket has been removed, unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container.

B

C

D E

F

Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce about 1.5kg of dishwasher salt.

Full fill the salt container with water,It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container.

After filling the container , screw the cap tightly back clockwise.

The salt warning light will stop being after the salt container has been filled with salt.

Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing program should be started (We suggest to use a short program). Otherwise the filter system, pump or other important parts of the machine may be damaged

by salty water. This is out of warranty.

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.

If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (for some Models),you can estimate when to fill the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher has run.

2.If there are spills of the salt, a soak or a rapid program should be run to remove the excessive salt.

3.If the machine needs to be dumped for the reasons of transit, repair and so on, please use the bibulous cloth or analog to blot up the water in the salt container, and screw the cap tightly, afterward, transit or repair the machine. After transiting or repairing the machine and confirming it in order, load the salt into the softener according to the

process of B. Loading the salt into the Softener . Otherwise, it could be make the big damage to the machine, for example, rustiness, conk and so on. Such problems are out of the guarantee range.

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.

When to Refill the Rinse Aid Dispenser

If there is no rinse-aid warning light in the control panel, you can estimate the 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 illustrated below.

Full

3 / 4 full

1 / 2 full

1 / 4 full - Should refill to eliminate spotting Empty

1 To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the "open" (left) arrow and lift it out.

2	Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill.
3	Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with "open" arrow and turning it to the closed (right) arrow.

Clean up any rinse aid spilled while during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excessive foaming

during the next wash. Don't forget to replace the cap before you close dishwasher door.

Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser has six or four settings. Always start with the dispenser set on "4". If spots and poor drying are a problem, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by removing the dispenser lid and rotating the dial to "5". If the dishes still are not drying properly or are show spots, adjust the dial to the next higher lever until your dishes are spot-free. The recommended setting is "4". (Factory value is "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 stains on your dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

Detergents with its chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport it out of the dishwasher. Most of the commercial quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.

Attention!

Proper Use of Detergent

Use only detergent specifically made for the use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don't put powdered detergent into the dispenser until you're ready to wash dishes.
