DESCALE – Alarm  

Your dishwasher has a new feature that remembers for you to protect itself from  

limescaleaccumulation. Evenifyouforgettodescale, youwillgetaremindertokeep  

your appliance safe and secure.  

FIX IT IN 5 STEPS:  

STEP 1. DESCALE INDICATOR IS LIT OR BLINKING; ꢀdESꢁ ALARM IS DISPLAYED.  

STEP 2. LIMESCALE IS ACCUMULATING ON INTERNAL COMPONENTS OF THE APPLIANCE.  

STEP 3. THE MOST IMPORTANT! ꢂ REFILL THE RESERVOIR WITH SALT.  

FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR  

The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the dishes and on the machine’s func-  

tional components. The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (under the  

lower rack on the left side).  

• It is mandatory that THE SALT RESERVOIR NEVER BE EMPTY.  

• It is important to set the water hardness.  

• Salt must be filled when the SALT REFILL indicator light  

on 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 0,5 kg); it is not  

unusual for a little water to leak out.  

3.Only the first time you do this: fill the salt reservoir with water.  

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).  

Run a program every time as soon as you complete refilling the salt reservoir to avoid corrosion.  

STEP 4. CHECK THE WATER HARDNESS SETTING.  

Water Hardness Table  

SETTING THE WATER HARDNESS  

To allow the water softener to work in a perfect  

way, it is essential that the water hardness set-  

ting is based on the actual water hardness in your  

house. This information can be obtained from  

your local water supplier. The factory setting is“3”.  

See „WATER HARDNESS TABLE”. To change, go to  

“SETTING MENU”.

DESCALE – Alarm  

– Limescale accumulation was detected on the internal  

components of the appliance. Check if the Water Hardness Setting is at the correct value and salt is present in  

the salt container, then use a descaling product (WPro brand is recommended) with the Self-clean program.  

After a successful descaling, the icon will stop being displayed.  

If the actions above are not performed, product performance will deteriorate.  

«Descale» WARNING WILL START BLINKING AND «dES» ALARM WILL APPEAR ON THE DISPLAY.  

If still no action is taken, the appliance will only allow a certain number of cycles to be started (indicated  

during «dES» alarm display) and then will be BLOCKED to prevent component damage, with only the  

Self-clean program available. Performing a full descaling will unblock the product. In the case of extremely  

high amounts of limescale, descaling may have to be performed twice to be efficient.
