FIRST TIME USE

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 mandatory that THE SALT RESERVOIR NEVER BE EMPTY.

• It is important to set the water hardness.

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

(see PRODUCT DESCRIPTION) and must be lled when the SALT REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit .

1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap (anticlockwise).

2. Only the rst time you do this: ll the salt reservoir with water.

3. Position the funnel (see gure) and ll the salt reservoir right up to its edge (approximately 1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak out.

4. Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue away from the opening.

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, it is mandatory to complete the procedure before the beginning of the washing cycle to avoid corrosion.

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 sets the default value for the water hardness.

HARDNESS TABLE).

FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER

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

1. Open the dispenser B by pressing and pulling up the tab on the lid.

2. Pour in the rinse aid (max.110 ml), making sure it does not overow from the dispenser. 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 appliance tub.

ADJUSTING THE DOSAGE OF RINSE AID

If you are not completely satised with the drying results, you can adjust the quantity of rinse aid used.

• The program indicator light of the current set level ashes.

• Press button P to select the level of rinse aid quantity to be supplied.

• Switch it o using the ON/OFF button

Setting is complete! If the rinse aid level is set to 1 (ECO), no rinse aid will be supplied. The

LOW RINSE AID indicator light will not be lit if you run out of rinse aid. A maximum of 5 levels can be set according to the dishwasher model. The factory setting is specic to the model, please follow instruction above to check this for your machine.

• If you see bluish streaks on the dishes, set a low number (2-3).

• If there are drops of water or limescale marks on the dishes, set a

mid-range number (4-5).
