Water hardness level is factory set for medium hard water (a number “4” is shown on the display or the START indicator lamp flashes 4 times).

Even if you use tablets which include salt, you must still add salt since such detergents are not effective enough at softening hard water.

Adding rinse aid

(not necessary when you use tablets). How to adjust the rinse aid dosage regulator

Daily check

Rinse aid indicator (depending on model)

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

Adding detergent -

Visual indicator

If required, open the cover B (press right button).

The indicator lamp on the control panel lights up when RINSE AID NEEDS TO BE ADDED.

Use only detergent specifically for dishwashers in accordance with the supplier’s recommendations

Add rinse aid to the max. line ~150 ml

Tablet / gel / powder

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

All types of tablets can be used, but for 2 in 1 type adding of salt is mandatory.

The rinse aid dosage can be adjusted to the detergent used. The lower the setting, the less rinse aid is dispensed (factory setting: position 4). Press the button to open the cover B. Using a coin or similar object, turn the arrow to the desired setting. After adjusting the rinse aid setting, shut the cover again.

dark: OK. clear: NEEDS TO BE ADDED
