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.

If the rinse aid level is set to ZERO (ECO), no rinse aid will be
supplied. The LOW RINSE AID indicator light will not be lit if you

Up to maximum 4 levels can be set based on the dishwasher
model.
• If there are streaks on the crockery, set the adjustment device
to a lower number (1-2).
• If there are drops of water or limescale marks, set the
adjustment device to a higher number (3-4).
Setting the water hardness
Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener using refined
salt designed specially for this type of appliance in order to
supply water without limescale for crockery washing.
This dishwasher has a setting that helps reduce pollution and
optimises washing performance in accordance with the water
hardness level in your area. Ask your local water supplier for
this information.

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
the cap of the salt dispenser;
• When the LOW RINSE AID indicator light on the panel/display
*
is illuminated
1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the cap (anticlockwise).
2. The first time you do this: fill the water tank right up to its edge.
3. Position the funnel
(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.
