[. . . ] On the bottom of the machine there is a container for the salt for regenerating the softener. The filter medium of the softening plant must be reactivated with dishwasher water softener regenerating salt. 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. If the dishwasher is not required straightaway, set the Prewash programme so that the salt solution which has overflowed is discharged from the washing tank. 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: it is necessary to add water until the container overflows. Only install the dishwasher after completely filling the salt container. Adjustment of the upper basket If 27 cm to 31 cm plates are normally used, load them onto the lower basket after the upper basket has been placed in its upper position and proceed as detailed below : 1) Pull out the upper basket; 2) Then grasp the basket from both sides and lift it upwards (fig. Dishes that are bigger than 20 cm in diameter can no longer be loaded onto the upper basket and the mobile supports cannot be used when the basket is in the upper position. It is always advisable to use rinse aid. Check the rinse aid level through the indicator eye which is situated in the centre of the dispenser (4). Loading the detergent and the rinse aid. Filling the detergent container It is essential to use a detergent that is specifically designed for dishwashers either in powder, liquid or tablet form. Unsuitable detergents (like those for washing up by hand) do not contain the proper ingredients for use in a dishwasher and stop the dishwasher from working correctly. dark light FULL EMPTY Normal wash The detergent container is inside the door (fig. If the lid of the container is closed press the button to open. At the end of every wash cycle the lid is always open and ready for the next time the dishwasher is used. The amount of detergent to be used varies according to how dirty the dishes are and on the type of dishes to be washed. We advise using 20-30 gr of detergent in the wash section of detergent compartment (1). After pouring the detergent into the container close the lid. Since not all detergents are the same the instructions on the boxes of detergent can vary. We should just like to remind users that too little detergent does not clean the dishes properly whilst too much detergent will not produce better results and is also a waste. Do not use an excessive amount of detergent and help limit damage to the environment at the same time. [. . . ] Wait until the temperature rises above zero and then wait for about 24 hours before starting up the dishwasher. 1 1b 2 20 21 Description of the controls H I L Attention This dishwasher is equipped with an anti-overflow safety device which works even when power is switched off, and if the water level is too high the supply will automatically be closed off. Important To ensure the correct operation of the anti-overflow safety device, it is recommended not to move or to tilt the dishwasher during operation. If it is necessary to move or to tilt the dishwasher, first make sure the washing cycle is finished and that no water is left in the tank.
