Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is left with the appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the functioning of the appliance and the relevant safety information. [. . . ] Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt container by turning it anticlockwise. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary only before filling with salt for the first time). Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until the container is full. Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket. Replace the cap tightly turning it clockwise until it stops with a click. Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill. Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash. Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e. g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance. The salt container will require topping up periodically. You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the control panel which comes on when the salt has finished. The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The function of the machine is not affected. Do not worry if water overflows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal. Adjusting the dose According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (position 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage). Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades. Top up the rinse aid when the indicator light on the control panel illuminates. 10 In daily use q Check if it's necessary to refill with dishwasher salt or rinse aid Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher.
