FIRST TIME USE

SALT, RINSE AID AND DETERGENT

ADVICE REGARDING THE FIRST TIME USE

After installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and the retaining

elastic elements from the upper rack.

FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR

The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the dishes and

on the machine’s functional components.

• It is important that the salt reservoir be never empty.

• It is important to set the water hardness.

The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (see

PROGRAMS DESCRIPTION) and should be filled when the SALT REFILL

indicator light in the control panel is lit.

1.Remove the lower rack and unscrew the

reservoir cap (anticlockwise).

2.Only the first time you do this: fill the salt

reservoir with water.

3.Position the funnel

(see figure)

and fill the salt

reservoir right up to its edge (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.

Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can get

into the container during the wash program (this could damage the

water softener beyond repair).

Whenever you need to add salt, it is mandatory to complete the

procedure before the beginning of the washing cycle.

SETTING THE WATER HARDNESS

To allow the water softener to work in a perfect way, it is essential that

the water hardness setting is based on the actual water hardness in

your house. This information can be obtained from your local water

supplier.

The factory setting is for average (3) water hardness.

• Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.

• Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.

• Hold down button

START/PAUSE

for 5 seconds, until you hear a beep.

• Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.

• The current selection level number and the salt indicator light both flash.

• Press button P to select the desired hardness level (see WATER

HARDNESS TABLE).

• Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.

Setting is complete!

As soon as this procedure is complete, run a program without loading.

Only use salt that has been specifically designed for dishwashers.

After the salt has been poured into the machine, the SALT REFILL

indicator light switches off.

If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the heating

element may be damaged as a result .

FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER

Rinse aid makes dish DRYING easier. The rinse aid dispenser A should

be filled when the RINSE AID REFILL indicator light in the control

panel is lit.

1. Open the dispenser

by pressing and pulling up the tab on the lid.

2. Carefully introduce the rinse aid as far as the maximum (110 ml)

reference notch of the filling space - avoid spilling it. If this happens,

clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth.

3. Press the lid down until you hear a click to close it.

NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the tub.

ADJUSTING THE DOSAGE OF RINSE AID

If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you can ad-

just the quantity of rinse aid used.

• Switch the dishwasher on using the ON/OFF button.

• Switch it off using the ON/OFF button.

• Press button

START/PAUSE

three times - a beep will be heard.

• Switch it on using the ON/OFF button.

• The current selection level number and rinse aid indicator light flash.

• Press button P to select the level of rinse aid quantity to be

supplied.

• Switch it off using the ON/OFF button

Setting is complete!

If the rinse aid level is set to 1 (ECO), no rinse aid will be supplied. The

LOW RINSE AID indicator light will not be lit if you run out of rinse aid.

A maximum of 5 levels can be set according to the dishwasher model.

The factory setting is specific to the model, please follow instruction

above to check this for your machine.

• If you see bluish streaks on the dishes, set a low number (2-3).

• If there are drops of water or limescale marks on the dishes, set a

high number (4-5).

FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER

To open the detergent dispenser

use the opening device A. Introduce

the detergent into the dry dispenser

B only. Place the amount of

detergent for pre-washing directly

inside the tub.

1.When measuring out the detergent

refer to the mentioned earlier infor-

mation to add the proper quantity.

Inside the dispenser

there are indi-

cations to help the detergent dosing.

2. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser and

close the cover until it clicks.

3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until the

closing device is secured in place.

The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time

according to the program.

If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the

TABLET

button, because it adjusts the program so that the best washing and

drying results are always achieved.
