Rinse aid and refined salt

Only use products which have been specifically designed 

for dishwashers. 
Do not use table/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 

any 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 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

* 

on the control panel 

is illuminated, a reserve supply of rinse aid is still available 

for 1-2 cycles;

1. Open the dispenser 

“D”

 by pressing and pulling up the tab

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.

Rinse-aid dispenser setting

If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you 

can adjust the quantity of rinse aid. 
Switch the dishwasher on and off using the On/Off button. Press 

the 

P

 button 3 times. Switch on using the ON/OFF button, the 

indicator light of the set level flashes 

(set to factory level).

Adjust the level of rinse aid supply using the 

P

 button; during 

this procedure the rinse aid indicator light flashes.

Press the ON/OFF button to save the setting.

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

you run out of rinse aid.
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 which, by 

using refined salt specially designed 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  dishwasher  on  and  off  using  the  ON/OFF  button. 

Press and hold the 

P

 button for a few seconds until you hear 

a  beep  sound.  Switch  the  dishwasher  on  using  the  ON/OFF 

button, the indicator light of the set level flashes 

(water softener 

set to medium level). 

During this procedure the salt indicator light flashes.
Adjust the hardness level using the 

P

 button, 

(1-2-3-4-5

*

 see 

water hardness table)

 up to max. 5

*

 levels.

Press the ON/OFF button to save the setting.

Even if using multi-functional tablets, the salt dispenser should 

still be filled. 

(°dH = hardness measured in German degrees - °f = hardness 
measured in French degrees – mmol/l = millimoles per litre)

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

*

 cannot be seen by simply looking at 

the cap of the salt dispenser;

•  When the LOW RINSE AID indicator light on the control panel 

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

*

(see figure)

 and fill the 

salt dispenser up to the edge (approximately 

1 kg). It is normal for a little water to leak out.
4. Remove the funnel* and wipe any salt residues 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 slots (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.
