Connecting the water inlet hose • To a suitable cold water connection point: before attaching the hose, run the water until it is perfectly clear so that any impurities that may be present in the water do not clog the appliance; after performing this operation, screw the inlet hose tightly onto a tap with a ¾ gas threaded connection. [. . . ] To make it easier to measure out the detergent, it is worth remembering that: 1 tablespoon = 15 gr. of powder = approximately 15 ml of liquid - 1 teaspoon = 5 gr. of powder = approximately 5 ml of liquid * The Eco wash cycle adheres to the regulation EN-50242. Although it has a longer duration than other wash cycles it uses less energy and is les harmful to the environment.

Do not use table salt or 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 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. - Press the ON/OFF button; the wash cycle phase (washing, drying, end) indicator lights will flash. It is now possible to select the water hardness level. There is a water hardness level for every wash cycle: E. g. : wash cycle 1, water hardness level 1 wash cycle 2, water hardness level 2, etc. (The default water softener setting is level 3). - To exit the function, wait approximately 30 seconds or switch off the machine using the ON/OFF button. Even if using multi-functional tablets, the salt dispenser should still be filled. EN If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT* and LOW RINSE AID* indicator lights remain lit.

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 F the spill immediately with a dry G cloth. NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub. 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) Adjusting the amount of rinse aid If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a screwdriver to turn the dosage adjuster (F) to one of the 6 pre-set positions (the default position is set to 4): • If there are streaks on the crockery, set the adjustment device to a lower number (1-3). • If drops of water remain on the crockery or if there are limescale marks present after the cycle has finished, set the adjuster to a higher number (4-6). Setting the water hardness Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, by using refined salt designed especially 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.
