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

First time use

1- salt reservoir 2- rinse aid dispenser 3- detergent dispenser 4- racks system 5,6,7,8- available functions on the panel 9- filters 10- spray arms

Water hardness should be set only

before the first wash or if water

hardness has been changed

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”).

Filling the salt reservoir -

The salt level indicator lamp may remain lit at the end of several wash cycles. If the water hardness level falls within category (soft), no salt is required.

-Press and hold together Programs and CANCEL/Off buttons for minimum 3 seconds.

- Programs LEDs will indicate the water hardness setting.

Adding rinse aid

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

Daily check

Visual

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

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 -

(press the dedicated button).

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

Using a coin or similar object, turn the arrow to the desired setting. After adjusting the rinse aid setting, shut the cover again.
