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).

step 1

(see “Daily check”)

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

Filling the salt reservoir -

Dissolve limescale (not necessary if water hardness level is set to “soft”!)

Daily 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

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

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 p revents 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 d ry : incr e a s e 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.
