Step 4

. Adding Rinse Aid

For filling

To fill the Rinse Aid chamber, rotate the round cap counter clockwise and remove. Fill the container to the maximum level with a good quality Rinse Aid, then replace and lock the cap. The Rinse Aid is automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.

The dosage is factory set to suit most installations. If, after washing, you notice cloudy spots, streaks or water marks on your glassware, it may be necessary to increase the setting. To do this, remove the cap and rotate the indicator arrow to a higher setting then replace the cap . If the glasses are smeared or foam is present on the bottom of the glass or the bottom of the machine, select a lower setting.

Step 3

. Salt Filling

In order to provide satisfactory rinsing results, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e., containing little or no lime, otherwise water stains will be left behind on the dishes and interior containers. If the tap water exceeds a certain level of hardness, it must be softened, I.e.,decalcified. This id achieved by adding a special salt to the water softener inside the dishwasher. The required amount of salt is set up according to how hard your tap water is.

This model has a water softener to soften hard water. Please read these notes carefully for correct operation.

Fill the regenerating salt container before starting the washing program.

Once you have filled with salt you must run the “Pre-wash” or “Quick” course immediately to remove salt and salt water around the tub in order to prevent corrosion.

• Remove lower rack and unscrew the cap of salt container.

• Before using your dishwasher for the first time, it is necessary

to Pour 1.5kg of salt and 1 liter of water in to the container. Use a funnel for ease and clean filling, ensuring that coarse salt or regenerating salt intended for dishwashers is used.

• After filling, wipe off any spilled salt to seal the cap properly.

• Screw the cap tightly to prevent any suds from penetrating into the container.

Filling with Salt

Take care not to obstruct the rotation of the spray arms and ensure that large items do not prevent the detergent dispenser lid from opening.

Fold-down dividers at the lower and the upper rack can be lowered to improve stacking of pots and pans.

1. Loading your Dishwasher
