It is important to use only a salt that is specifically designed for dishwasher. Other types of salt contain small quantities of insoluble particles which over a long period of time may affect and deteriorate the softener performance. To add salt, unscrew the cap of the container on the bottom and then refill the container. During this operation a little water will overflow; but keep adding salt until the container is full. When the container is full, clean the thread of salt residue and retighten the tap. After loading the salt, it is recommended running a complete washing cycle, or COLD RINSE programme. In certain circumstances use of combined detergents can cause: limescale deposits on dishes or in the dishwasher; a reduction in washing and drying performance. Should this occur, we would recommend using traditional separate products ­ salt, detergent and rinse agent. This will ensure that the water softener in the dishwasher operates correctly. Please note that on return to the use of conventional salt, a number of cycles will be required before the system becomes fully efficient again. IMPORTANT Any problems which arise as a direct result of the use of these products are not covered by our warranty. Normal wash The detergent container is inside the door (fig. If the lid of the container is closed, press the button (A) to open. At the end of every wash cycle the lid is always open and ready for the next time the dishwasher is used. The amount of detergent to be used varies according to how dirty the dishes are and on the type of dishes to be washed. We advise using 20:30 g of detergent in the wash section of detergent compartment (B). Since not all detergents are the same the instructions on the boxes of detergent can vary. We should just like to remind users that too little detergent does not clean the dishes properly whilst too much detergent will not produce better results and is also a waste. Filling the rinse aid container The rinse aid, which is automatically released during the last rinsing cycle, helps the dishes to dry quickly and prevents spots and stains forming. The rinse aid container can be found to the left of the detergent container (fig. To open the lid, push the reference mark and, in the same time, pull the tab of opening. [. . . ] Before to set any programme, the programme selector must be in the "RESET" position and the indicator light "WASHING" must be out. Make sure that the "ON/OFF" button is pressed. WARNING!To ensure the correct operation of the anti-overflow safety device, it is recommended 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. To set the programme, press the "ON/OFF" button: then turn the dial (in a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction) until the pointer ( ) is in line with the symbol of the required programme. [. . . ]
