The higher the level of these minerals present in the water, the harder the water is. The dishwasher is fitted with a water softener unit which, through the use of special regenerating salt, supplies softened water for washing the dishes. The softener unit can treat water with a hardness of up to 60°fH (French grading) or 33°dH (German grading) through five different settings. 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. Unscrew and remove the cap from the salt dispenser located in the bottom of the tub (fig. turn the selector screw to the required position with a screwdriver or a knife. 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. To add salt, unscrew the cap of the container on the bottom and then refill the container. "FINISH" gives very good results and can be easily obtained. Unsuitable detergents (like those for washing up by hand) do not contain the proper ingredients for use in a dishwasher, and stop the dishwasher from working correctly. After pouring the detergent into the container, close the lid, firstly pushing (1) and then pressing on it (2) until you hear the click. the effectiveness of detergents containing the built in water softener/salt depends on the hardness of your water supply. Check that the hardness of your water supply is within the effective range given on the detergent packaging. 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. [. . . ] Before starting a new programme, you should check that there is still detergent in the dispenser. If there is any break in the power supply while the dishwasher is operating, a special memory stores the selected programme and, when the power is restored, it continues where it left off (if it is necessary, the appliance will make a short thermal anti-shock programme before). Program interruption Opening the door when a program is running is not recommended especially during the main washing and final hot rinse phases. However, if the door is opened while a program is running (for example, to add dishes) the machine stops automatically. Close the door, without pressing any buttons. [. . . ]
