How to set detergent type: powder/gel/tablet (if option is available)
First time use
In order to always ensure the best cleaning
results, you NEED to set:
DETERGENT type and WATER HARDNESS.
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
1.
Select 3rd program (see
Table of programs - page 1)
2.
Press START button
for 7 seconds
For models without “detergent type” option, the salt and rinse aid indicators will be lit when tablets are used.
How to set water hardness
* only before the first wash or if
the water hardness has been
changed
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
functionality, you must still add 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 in step 1
“Daily check”).

Daily check
Screw on the cap. Salt residual
around the cap need to be
removed. Some salt reservoir have
a level indicator integrated in the
cap (see below how to check).
The salt level indicator lamp may remain lit for the duration of several wash
cycles. If the water hardness level falls within category (soft), no salt is required.
Adding rinse aid
2
Check the rinse aid indicator to check the level into the
dispenser.
Only use rinse aids recommended for use in domestic dishwashers.
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.
