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 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION) and should be lled 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, it is mandatory to complete the
procedure before the beginning of the washing cycle.

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 o 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 current selection level number and the salt indicator light both ash.

• Press button P to select the desired hardness level (see WATER
HARDNESS TABLE).

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.

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
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.

• Switch the dishwasher on using the ON/OFF button.

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

• Press button START/Pause three times - a beep will be heard.

• Switch it on using the ON/OFF button.

• The current selection level number and rinse aid indicator light ash.

• 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).

FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER

To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device A.
Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser B only. Place the
amount of detergent for pre-washing directly inside the tub.

1. When measuring out the detergent
refer to the mentioned earlier infor­mation to add the proper quantity.
Inside the dispenser B there are
indications to help the detergent
dosing.

2. Remove detergent residues from
the edges of the dispenser and clo­se the cover until it clicks.

3. Close the lid of the detergent
dispenser by pulling it up until the
closing device is secured in place.

The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time
according to the program.
If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABLET
button, because it adjusts the program so that the best washing and
drying results are always achieved.

ECO program data is measured under laboratory conditions according to European Standard EN 50242.
Note for Test Laboratories:

For information on comparative EN testing conditions, please send an email to the following address: [e-mail]
Pre-treatment of the dishes is not needed before any of the programs.
*) Not all options can be used simultaneously.
**) The duration of the program shown on the display or in the booklet is an estimate calculated on standard conditions. 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.
