SALT, RINSE AID AND DETERGENT

ADVICE REGARDING THE FIRST TIME USE

After installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and the retaining elastic elements from the upper rack.

FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR

The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the dishes and on the machine’s functional components.

• It is important that the salt reservoir be never empty.

• It is important to set the water hardness.

The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (see

PROGRAMS DESCRIPTION) and should be filled when the SALT REFILL indicator light

Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can get into the container during the wash program (this could damage the water softener beyond repair).

Whenever you need to add salt, we recommend carrying out the procedure before the washing cycle is started.

SETTING THE WATER HARDNESS

To allow the water softener to work in a perfect way, it is essential that the water hardness setting is based on the actual water hardness in your house. This information can be obtained from your local water supplier. The factory setting is for average (3) water hardness.

• Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.

• Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.

• Hold down button START/PAUSE for 5 seconds, until you hear a beep.

• Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.

• The program indicator light of the current set level flashes.

• Press button P to select the desired hardness level (see WATER

HARDNESS TABLE).

5 Very hard 35 - 50 61 - 90

• Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.

FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER

Rinse aid makes dish DRYING easier. The rinse aid dispenser A should be filled when the RINSE AID REFILL indicator light panel is lit.

2. Carefully introduce the rinse aid as far as the maximum (110 ml) reference notch of the filling space - avoid spilling it. If this happens, clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth.

3. Press the lid down until you hear a click to close it.

NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the tub.

The actual time may vary depending on many factors such as temperature and pressure of the incoming water, room temperature, amount of detergent, quantity and type of load, load balancing, additional selected options and sensor calibration. The sensor calibration can increase program duration up to 20 min. Standby consumption: Left-on mode consumption: 5 W - Off mode consumption: 0.5 W

PROGRAMS DESCRIPTION

Instructions on wash cycle selection.

ECO

Normally soiled crockery. Standard program, the most efficient in terms of its combined energy and water consumption.

INTENSIVE

Program recommended for heavily soiled crockery, especially suitable for pans and saucepans (not to be used for delicate items).

NORMAL

Normally soiled crockery. Everyday cycle, that ensures optimal cleaning performance in shorter time.

RAPID 30’

Program to be used for lightly-soiled dishes with no dried food residues. (Ideal for 2 place settings).

PRE-WASH

Crockery to be washed later. No detergent to be used with this program.

Notes:

Optimum performance levels when using the “1 Hour” and “Rapid” programs can be achieved by observing the maximum amounts of specified place settings.

To reduce consumption even further, only run the dishwasher when it is full.
