The degree of hardness of your water can be obtained from your water supply company. If your water is at level 0, you need not use any regenerating salt, nor need you make any adjustment, as your water is soft. According to the degree of hardness of your water, regulate the softener unit in the following way: 1.

Loading the salt On the bottom of the machine there is a container for the salt for regenerating the softener. 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.

Regulating the water softener The table below lists different degrees of water hardness with the corresponding setting for the softener unit. In certain circumstances use of combined detergents can cause: limescale deposits on dishes or in the dishwasher; a reduction in washing and drying performance.

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.

IMPORTANT This dishwasher is equipped with an anti-overflow safety device which will automatically empty any excess water should a problem occur. - the "Auto' Memory", function which saves a program used at least 3 times consecutively so that if you regularly use the same washing cycle each time you do not have to continually set the program thereby saving time and effort.
