FIRST TIME USE
To change, follow instructions in section “SETTING MENU”.
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 of limescale accumulation.
Using of Salt is recommended with any type of dishwasher detergent.
ADVICE REGARDING THE FIRST TIME USE
After installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and the retaining
elastic elements from the upper rack.

WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM
Water softener automatically reduces water hardness, consequently pre-
venting scale buildup on the heater, contributing also to better cleaning ef-
ficiency. This system regenerates itself with salt, therefore it is required
to refill the salt container when empty.

5. Press PREVIOUS /NEXT to change the value, then press START/Pause
to save the new value or return to the main menu.
The frequency of regeneration depends on the water hardness level setting
- regeneration takes place once per 4-6 Eco cycles with the water hardness
level set to 3. The regeneration process occurs at the beginning of the cycle
with additional fresh water.
6. To change another setting, repeat points 4 and 5.

ADJUSTING THE DOSAGE OF RINSE AID
If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you can adjust
the quantity of rinse aid used.
To change, follow the instructions in the section “SETTING MENU”.
If the rinse aid level is set to ZERO, 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 6 levels can be set according to the dishwasher model.
• If you see bluish streaks on the dishes, set a low number (0-3).
• If there are drops of water or limescale marks on the dishes, set a mid-
range number (4-5).
-
*) The default value does not apply to the Cycle Counter.
FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR
The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on
the dishes and on the machine’s functional components.
The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dish-
washer (under the lower rack on the left side).
FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER
Only use detergent which has been specifically designed for dishwashers.
DO NOT USE washing up liquid.
Using excessive detergent may result in foam residues remaining in
the machine after the cycle has ended.
Usage of detergent not designed for dishwashers may cause malfunc-
tion or damage to the appliance.
To achieve the best washing and drying results, the combined use of
detergent, rinse aid liquid and refined salt is required.
We recommend using detergents that do not contain phosphates or
chlorine, as these products are harmful to the environment.
Good washing results also depend on the correct amount of detergent
being used.
Exceeding the stated amount does not result in a more effective wash
and increases environmental pollution.
The amount can be adjusted to the soil level. In the case of normal-
ly soiled items, use approximately either 35g (powder detergent) or
35ml (liquid detergent) and additional tea spoon of detergent directly
inside the tub. If tablets are used, one tablet will be enough.
If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water
before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the amount of deter-
gent used accordingly (minimum 25 g/ml) e.g. skip the powder/gel
putted inside the tub.
• 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 sof-
tener beyond repair).
Whenever you need to add salt, it is mandatory to complete the pro-
cedure before the beginning of the washing cycle to avoid corrosion.
Residual saline solution or grains of salt can lead to corrosion, irrep-
arably damaging the stainless steel components.
The guarantee is not applicable if faults are caused by such circumstances.
If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the heating
element may be damaged as a result of limescale accumulation.
Using of Salt is recommended with any type of dishwasher detergent.
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 facto-
ry setting is “3”. See „WATER HARDNESS TABLE”.
For good washing results also follow the instructions shown on the
detergent box.
For further questions please ask the detergent producers.
