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.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.
3.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, we recommend carrying out the
procedure before the washing cycle is started.
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.
1. Switch on the appliance by pressing the
ON/OFF
button.
2. Switch off the appliance by pressing the
ON/OFF
button.
3. Hold down button
START/PAUSE
for 5 seconds, until you hear a
beep.
4. Switch on the appliance by pressing the
ON/OFF
button.
5. The current selection level number and the salt indicator light both flash.
6. Press button
P
to select the desired hardness level (
see WATER
HARDNESS TABLE).
7. 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
B
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 4 levels can be set according to the dishwasher model.
The factory setting is for a medium level.
• 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
(see PROGRAMS TABLE)
to
add the proper quantity.
Compartment
B
comprises a level
showing the maximum quantity of liquid or powder detergent that
can be added to each cycle.
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.
