[. . . ] Once this time has elapsed, the indicator light switches off and the wash cycle begins. To adjust the delay time and select a smaller period of time, press the DELAYED START button. To cancel it, press the button repeatedly until the wash cycle begins and the WASH CYCLE PHASE indicator light corresponding to the start of the cycle in progress illuminates. Ariston dishwashers are fitted with an automatic filter cleaning system that may increase the cycle duration. The number and type of wash cycles varies according to the model of dishwasher. Position the funnel provided correctly (see figure) and fill the salt dispenser up to the edges (approximately 2 kg); it is normal for a little water to leak out. Remove the funnel, wipe away any salt residue from the thread and screw the cap on tightly, so that detergent does not leak into the dispenser during the wash cycle (this could damage the water softening system beyond repair). When salt has been added, run a wash cycle immediately, without crockery, in order to remove any salt solution that has leaked out and to avoid corrosion. Adjusting the amount of salt* It is possible to adjust the amount of salt used according to the hardness of the water in your area (this information is available from your local water board). Turn the arrow on the neck of the dispenser (see figure) towards the + or - symbols, using the table below as a guide. Loading the rinse aid Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water runs off surfaces more readily and therefore does not leave streaks or marks. The rinse aid dispenser should be filled: • whenever the indicator light (H) signals that it is empty. Illuminated light: add rinse aid; unlit light: there is no shortage of rinse aid in the dispenser. €¢ when the LOW RINSE AID* indicator light on the panel flashes; 1. Open the dispenser by turning the lid (G) in an H anticlockwise direction. Pour in the rinse aid, making sure it does not overflow from the F dispenser. If this happens, G clean the spill immediately with a sponge. Adjusting the amount of rinse aid If you are not completely satisfied with the washing or drying results, you may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a screwdriver to turn the dosage adjuster to one of the 6 pre-set positions (the default position is set to 4): • if there are white streaks on the crockery, set the adjuster to a lower number (1-3). €¢ if drops of water remain on the crockery or there are limescale marks present after the cycle has finished, set the adjuster to a higher number (4-6). If you are using multi-functional tablets (2-in-1, 3-in-1, 4-in-1, etc. ) and you wish to further improve the drying performance of the appliance, fill the dispenser and set the dosage adjuster to 2.
