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 indicator lights 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/dislay 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
F
the dispenser. If this happens,
clean the spill immediately with
G
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 your local water supplier.
- 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 (washing,
drying, end) indicator lights will flash. It is now possible to select
the water hardness level. There is a water hardness level for
every wash cycle:
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
E.g.: wash cycle 1, water hardness level 1
wash cycle 2, water hardness level 2, etc. etc., up to a maximum
of 5
(The default water softener setting is level 3).
- To exit the function, wait a few seconds or press one of the op-
tion buttons
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
• When the LOW SALT
display is illuminated;
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).

dispenser is removed.
