A A 54 Filling the rinse aid container 4 3 On the right of the detergent container the rinse aid container can be found: it has a capacity of about 130 ml. Turn the cap (3) anticlockwise and pour the liquid that will last several washes, up to the maximum level shown. The rinse aid, which is automatically released during the last rinsing cycle, helps the dishes to dry quickly and prevents the formation of spots and stains. It is always advisable to use rinse aid. It is possible to check the rinse aid level through the indicator eye which is situated in the centre of the dispenser (4). Water softener adjustment Water softener According to the area, tap water contains a variable amount of mineral and calcareous salts which deposit on dishes leaving stains and white deposits. The higher the concentration of these salts, the harder the water. This machine is provided with a water softener which uses a specific regenerator salt which softens the water for dish-washing purposes. The water softener can treat water with hardness between 16 and 60°F (French degrees) by means of five different settings. The local Water Board can supply the degree of hardness of the water in your area. The following table illustrates the level corresponding to the hardness of the water of your area and indications as to necessary setting adjustments: FULL EMPTY dark light Regulating the rinse aid from 1 to 6 The regulator is placed under the cap (3) and can be turned using a coin. The limestone content of the water considerably affects the formation of scale and the drying performance. It is therefore important to regulate the quantity of rinse aid to achieve good washing results. If, after the wash, streaks occur on the dishes, decrease the amount by one position. If whitish spots occur, increase the amount by one position.

Machine adjustment (for levels 4 and 5) If the water in your area is at level 4 or 5, proceed as follows: - remove the top basket - cut off the small plastic cap protuding from the vent on the right side of the tub. Warning: Use salt regularly from level 2 upwards, as instructed in the following paragraph. Loading the salt The dishwasher is fitted with a softener which clears the water of lime which could cause scale and damage the dishwasher. [. . . ] Important To prevent an inopportune release of the antioverflow safety device, it is recom-mended 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. IMPORTANT 1) It is not advisable to open the door while the machine is in operation, particularly during the middle stage of the wash pro-gramme and the final hot rinse. Should anyone open the door inadvertently, the machine will automatically stop. [. . . ]
