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

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

At first time use, the salt reservoir has to be filled independently from water hardness level (see description below in step 1 “Daily check”).

Fill the salt reservoir with water

before the first wash only .

Add salt (never add detergent!)

min. 0.8 kg / max. 1 kg

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.

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

First time use

EN -2-

Check the rinse aid indicator to check the level into the dispenser.

(depending on the model) Rinse aid indicator on the control panel Rinse aid indicator on the dispenser

The indicator lamp lights up when RINS E AID NEEDS TO BE ADDED.

dark: OK. clear: NEEDS TO BE ADDED

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 t he dial to a lower setti ng (1-3). If crockery is not perfectly dry: increase th e dosage by turning the dial to a higher setting (5- 6). Plastic di shes have more diff iculty 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.

Daily use

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

Open the cover A

(press the dedicated button).

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

Shut the cover

by pressing dedicated ribs.

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.

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

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

Add rinse aid to the max. line ~150 ml

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.
