very hard.
If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT
LOW RINSE AID indicator lights will stay lit.

Measuring out the rinse aid

Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water runs off
the 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
is illuminated, a reserve supply of rinse aid is still available
for 1-2 cycles;
1. Open the dispenser
on the lid;
2. Carefully introduce the rinse aid as far as the maximum
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 appliance tub.
Rinse-aid quantity setting
If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you
can adjust the quantity of rinse aid. Switch the dishwasher on
and off using the ON/OFF button. Press the Start/Pause button
3 times. Start it using the ON/OFF button; the setting is shown
on the display (set to factory level).
Adjust the level of rinse aid supply using the P button.
Press ON/OFF to save the setting.
If the rinse aid level is set to ZERO, no rinse aid will be supplied.
The LOW RINSE AID indicator light will not go on if you run out
of rinse aid.
Up to maximum 4 levels can be set based on the dishwasher
model.
• If there are streaks on the crockery, set a low number (1-2.)
• If there are drops of water or limescale marks, set a high
number (3-4.)
Setting water hardness
Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which uses
refined salt designed specially for this type of appliance to supply
water without limescale - used to wash the crockery.
This dishwasher has 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 your local water supplier.

Measuring out the refined salt

In order to obtain the best possible results from a wash cycle,
make sure that the salt 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

• When the LOW RINSE AID indicator light on the control panel

is illuminated
4. Remove the funnel* and wipe any salt residues 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 slots (star-shaped arrangement) in the lower part of
the cap (cap with green float
It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you add
salt to the dispenser.
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.
