[. . . ] Accidental interruptions If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is a power cut, the cycle stops. It starts again from the point at which it was interrupted once the door has been shut or the electricity supply is restored. Loading the detergent A successful wash also depends on the correct amount of detergent being used, as recommended by the manufacturer. Exceeding the recommended amount does not result in a more effective wash and pollutes the environment. Pour in the detergent after consulting the Wash cycle table: • for powder detergent use compartments A and B If the Extra drying option is selected, the wash cycles will last longer. €¢ when the green float* cannot be seen by simply looking at the cap of the salt dispenser; • when the LOW SALT* indicator light on the panel flashes; • if your machine is not equipped with an indicator light or a green float: approximately every 30 wash cycles; 1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the cap of the dispenser (in an anticlockwise direction). For the first wash cycle only: fill the dispenser up to the edges with water. 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, clean the spill immediately G 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). [. . . ] €¢ The rinse aid has been used up or the dosage is too low. €¢ The rinse aid has been used up or the dosage is too low (see Rinse aid and salt). • The rinse aid dispenser setting is not high enough. €¢ A wash cycle without a drying programme has been selected.
