Even if using multi-functional tablets, the salt dispenser should still be filled. If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT* and LOW RINSE AID* indicator lights remain lit. 1 9 level 1 2 3 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: • When the LOW RINSE AID* indicator light on the control panel is illuminated; 1. Open the dispenser by turning the lid (G) in an anticlockwise direction. Pour in the rinse aid, making sure it does not overflow from the dispenser. If this happens, clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth. G NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub. Measuring out the rinse aid 4* For values between 0°f and 10°f, we do not recommend the use of salt. * this setting may cause a slight increase in the duration of the cycle. (°dH = hardness measured in German degrees - °f = hardness measured in French degrees - mmol/l = millimoles per litre) In order to achieve the best possible results using a wash cycle, make sure that the 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 SALT* indicator light on the control panel is illuminated; 1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the container cap (anticlockwise). The first time you do this: fill the water tank right up to its edge. Position the funnel* (see figure) and fill the salt container right up to its edge (this should hold approximately 1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak out. Remove the funnel* and wipe any salt residue 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 cracks which are arranged in a star shape on the lower part of the cap. (Salt cap with green float*) It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you add salt to the container. 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).

Disposal • Disposal of packaging materials: observe local legislation so that the packaging may be reused. • The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and to public health.
