How to set water hardness in order to always assure the best cleaning results

First time use

Water hardness should be set before the first wash or if water hardness has been changed

Water hardness level is factory set for medium-hard water (level 4).

Detergents

When you use Powder or Gel you must use salt and set up water hardness level as indicated in the table on the right.

Also when you use Tablets which include salt functionality you must still add regeneration salt.

-Press and hold together and buttons for minimum 3 seconds.

-The current water hardness setting will be visible on the display.

-Press the button to increase setting. Value range goes from 1 to 7 (when the level reaches 7, the next press of the start button will set the level back to 1).

-Wait 30 seconds (control panel switches off) or press button to save setting.

Once regeneration salt is added, immediately start a wash program (the “Pre-wash” program alone is not sufficient). Residual saline solution or grains of salt can lead to deep-down corrosion, irreparably damaging the stainless steel components. The guarantee is not applicable if faults are caused by such circumstances.

The salt level indicator lamp may remain lit at the end of several wash cycles. If the water hardness set to level 1 (soft), no salt is required and salt indicator lamp will remain off.

Only use rinse aids recommended for use in domestic dishwashers. Immediately wipe away any rinse aid spilt accidentally. This prevents the formation of excess suds which can cause a fault function of the appliance.

If there are streaks: reduce the dosage by turning the dial to a lower setting (1-3). If crockery is not perfectly dry: increase the dosage by turning the dial to a higher setting (5-6). Plastic dishes have more difficulty drying and a higher rinse aid setting will not improve the situation.

Detergents with rinse aid incorporated may be effective only with longer programs. In the case of shorter programs, detergent residue may be a problem (if necessary, use powder detergent). Detergents with rinse aid incorporated tend to form excess suds.

Adding detergent - Use only detergent specifically for dishwashers in accordance with the supplier’s recommendations	Daily use

Open the cover A (press the dedicated button).

Insert detergent: Tablet / powder / gel into the big chamber. Please look for the recommendation of the detergent manufacturer on the packaging of the detergent product.

Only fill the detergent dispenser prior to starting a wash program.

Use only one tablet per one cycle, only placed in detergent dispenser.

Some types of tablets may not dissolve completely during the short cycles (Rapid, Fragile, Handwash); placing the tablet on the tub bottom can help dissolving and washing.

Shut the cover

by pressing dedicated ribs.
