Switch on the appliance

-Select the 2nd programme “P2” - consult the table of programmes.

-Press the START button for at least 5 seconds until the water hardness setting is shown on the display.

-With each successive touch of the START button the setting increases and when it reaches 7 it returns to 1 again.

-The appliance must be switched off to memorise the new setting.

Water hardness level is factory set for medium hard water (a number “4” is shown on the display).

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

If required, open the cover (press lever).

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

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