HALF LOAD WASH SETTING This function is especially suitable for loads up to 6 place settings and allows saving of water and electricity. It is controlled by the HALF LOAD button (4) (see section "3. Description of the controls") and allows washing in the upper basket only. Do not wash the dishes in running water. Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of load.

With the exception of the SOAK program, before every washing cycle it is necessary to add the required amount of detergent to the detergent dispenser. The rinse aid, on the other hand, should only be added as required. 45 User instructions ADDING THE RINSE AID The rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and prevents the formation of scale deposits and staining; it is automatically added to the water during the final rinse cycle, from the container situated on the inner side of the door. Rotate the container cap anticlockwise by 1/4 of a turn and remove it. Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 cc). The optical level indicator on the side of the cap should be completely obscured. Refill the rinse aid when the optical level indicator becomes clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light illuminates. Replace the cover and turn it in a clockwise direction. Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to the formation of excess foam. • • ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER SETTING The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness. However it possible to change the setting by turning the dispenser’s selector to the desired position: the amount of rinse aid dispensed is proportional to the selector position.
