Rinse aid and refined salt
Only use products which have been
specifically designed for dishwashers.
Do not use table salt or industrial salt, or
washing up liquid.
Follow the instructions given on the packaging.
If using a multi-functional product it is not necessary to
add rinse aid; however, we recommend that you add salt,
especially if you live in an area where the water is hard or
very hard. Follow the instructions given on the packaging.
If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW
*
SALT
and LOW RINSE AID
remain lit.
Measuring out the rinse aid
Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water
runs off surfaces more readily and therefore does not leave
streaks or marks.
The rinse aid dispenser should be filled:
• When the LOW RINSE AID* indicator light on the control
panel is illuminated;
1. Open the dispenser by turning
the lid (G) in an anticlockwise
direction.
2. Pour in the rinse aid, making
sure it does not overflow from the
dispenser. If this happens, clean

the spill immediately with a dry
cloth.

3. Screw the lid back on.
NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.
Adjusting the amount of rinse aid
If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results,
you may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a
screwdriver to turn the dosage adjuster (F) to one of the 6
pre-set positions (the default position is set to 4):
• If there are streaks on the crockery, set the adjustment
device to a lower number (1-3).
• If drops of water remain on the crockery or if there are
limescale marks present after the cycle has finished, set
the adjuster to a higher number (4-6).
Setting the water hardness
Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, by
using refined salt designed especially for this type of
appliance, supplies water without limescale which is then used
to wash the crockery.
This dishwasher offers a setting which helps to reduce
pollution and optimises washing performance in accordance
with the water hardness level in your area. This information can
be obtained from the organisation which supplies your
household with water.
- Switch the machine off using the ON/OFF button and open
the door.
- Set the SELECT WASH CYCLE knob first to wash cycle 5,
then to wash cycle 1, then to wash cycle 5 again.
- Press the ON/OFF button; the wash cycle phase indicator

lights will flash. It is now possible to select the water hardness
level. There is a water hardness level for every wash cycle:
E.g.: wash cycle 1, water hardness level 1
wash cycle 2, water hardness level 2, etc. etc., up to a maxi-

levels.
(The default water softener setting is level 3).
To exit the function, wait a few seconds or press one of the

option buttons
, or switch off the machine using the ON/OFF
button.
Even if using multi-functional tablets, the salt dispenser should
still be filled.

Measuring out the refined salt
In order to achieve the best possible results using a wash
cycle, make sure that the dispenser is never empty.
Refined salt removes limescale from the water, thus
avoiding the formation of deposits on crockery.
The salt dispenser is located in the lower part of the
dishwasher ( see Description ) and should be filled:
*
• When the green float
cannot be seen by simply looking at
the cap of the salt dispenser.
*
• When the LOW SALT
indicator light on the control panel is
illuminated;
1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the
container cap (anticlockwise).
2. The first time you do this: fill the water tank
right up to its edge.
3. Position the funnel
salt container right up to its edge (this should hold
approximately 1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak
out.
4. Remove the funnel* and wipe any salt residue away from the
opening; rinse the cap under running water and then screw it
on, the head facing downwards so as to let the water flow out
of the four cracks which are arranged in a star shape on the
lower part of the cap. (Salt cap with green float
It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you
add salt to the container.
Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent
can get into the container during the wash cycle (this could
damage the water softener beyond repair).
When necessary, measure out the salt before a wash
cycle so that any saline solution which has leaked out of the
salt dispenser is removed.
