It is important to use only a salt that is specifically designed for dishwasher. Other types of salt contain small quantities of insoluble particles which over a long period of time may affect and deteriorate the softener performance. To add salt, unscrew the cap of the container on the bottom and then refill the container. During this operation a little water will overflow; but keep adding salt until the container is full. When the container is full, clean the thread of salt residue and retighten the tap. After loading the salt, it is recommended running a complete washing cycle, or COLD RINSE programme. The salt dispenser has a capacity of between 1. 5 and 1. 8 kg and, for efficient use of the appliance, it should be refilled from time to time according to the regulation of the water softener unit. IMPORTANT (Only for first start up) When the appliance is used for the first time, after completely filling the salt container, it is necessary to add water until the container overflows.

Filling the rinse aid container The rinse aid, which is automatically released during the last rinsing cycle, helps the dishes to dry quickly and prevents spots and stains forming. The rinse aid container can be found to the left of the detergent container (fig. To open the lid, push the reference mark and, in the same time, pull the tab of opening. It is always advisable to use rinse aid that is specifically designed for dishwasher. Check the rinse aid level through the indicator eye (C) which is located on the dispenser. C IMPORTANT Do not use an excessive amount of detergent and help limit damage to the environment at the same time. FULL EMPTY dark light CAUTION!IMPORTANT NOTE ON THE USE OF COMBINED DETERGENTS Regulating the rinse aid from 1 to 6 The regulator (D) is placed under the lid and can be turned using a coin. The limestone content of the water considerably affects the formation of limescale and the drying performance. It is therefore important to regulate the quantity of rinse aid to achieve good washing results. If, after the wash, streaks occur on the dishes, decrease the amount by one position. If whitish spots occur, increase the amount by one position. 17 A If you are planning to use combined detergents i. e. [. . . ] Press the "ON/OFF" button .

At this point a new program can be set. IMPORTANT This button MUST be set BEFORE the program starts. Program interruption Opening the door when a program is running is not recommended especially during the main washing and final hot rinse phases. However, if the door is opened while a program is running (for example, to add dishes) the machine stops automatically. The cycle will start from where it left off (if it is necessary, the appliance will make a short thermal anti-shock programme before). Fault signals If malfunctions or faults occur when a program is running the LED that corresponds to the selected cycle (2 LEDs for the "COLD RINSE" program) will blink rapidly. [. . . ]
