If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its back. [. . . ] Washing options Delayed start It is possible to delay the start time of the cycle by 12, 9, 6 or 3 hours. Press the DELAYED START button: every time the button is pressed, a beep is emitted and the selected delayed start indicator light illuminates. Although it has a longer duration than other wash cycles it uses less energy and is les harmful to the environment. 19 Rinse aid and refined salt EN Only use products which have been specifically designed for dishwashers. If using a multi-functional product it is not necessary to add rinse aid; however, we recommend that you add salt, especially if you live in an area where the water is hard or very hard. • • • when the green float* cannot be seen by simply looking at the cap of the salt dispenser; when the LOW SALT* indicator light on the panel flashes; if your machine is not equipped with an indicator light or a green float: approximately every 30 wash cycles; If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT* and LOW RINSE AID* indicator lights will flash continuously. Loading the rinse aid Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water runs off surfaces more readily and therefore does not leave streaks or marks. The rinse aid dispenser should be filled: • whenever the indicator light (H) signals that it is empty. Illuminated light: add rinse aid; unlit light: there is no shortage of rinse aid in the dispenser. Open the dispenser by turning the lid (G) in an anticlockwise H direction. Pour in the rinse aid, making sure it does not overflow from the dispenser. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the cap of the dispenser (in an anticlockwise direction). For the first wash cycle only: fill the dispenser up to the edges with water. Position the funnel* provided correctly (see figure) and fill the salt dispenser up to the edges (approximately 2 kg); it is normal for a little water to leak out. Remove the funnel*, wipe away any salt residue from the thread and screw the cap on tightly, so that detergent does not leak into the dispenser during the wash cycle (this could damage the water softening system 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. Adjusting the amount of salt* It is possible to adjust the amount of salt used according to the hardness of the water in your area (this information is available from your local water board). Turn the arrow on the neck of the dispenser (see figure) towards the + or symbols, using the table below as a guide. Hardness of the water Selector knob position / MED + Salt Autonomy consumption (cycles/2 kg) (grams/cycle) 0 20 40 60 / 60 40 25 Adjusting the amount of rinse aid If you are not completely satisfied with the washing or drying results, you may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a screwdriver to turn the dosage adjuster to one of the 6 pre-set positions (the default position is set to 4): • if there are white streaks on the crockery, set the adjuster to a lower number (1-3). • if drops of water remain on the crockery or there are limescale marks present after the cycle has finished, set the adjuster to a higher number (4-6). If you are using multi-functional tablets and you wish to further improve the drying performance of the appliance, fill the dispenser and set the dosage adjuster to 2. [. . . ] The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.
