Do not wash the dishes in running water. Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of load. Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing. If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to 60° C. TO CUT DOWN ON DETERGENT CONSUMPTION!… AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the environment. In this way, the excess saline solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion. Be careful not to confuse the salt and detergent packages; adding detergent to the salt container will damage the water softening system. ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM (available in all programs except the soak program) The dishwasher is equipped with an electronic device for adjusting the water softening setting according to the hardness of the water. To adjust the water softening setting, proceed as follows. • Keep the PROGRAM DELAY button pressed for a few seconds, until the H. - symbol, followed by the set value, appears on the 3-FIGURE DISPLAY. The PROGRAM DELAY button can be pressed again to select the most suitable hardness value (h. -0, h. -1, h. -2…h. -5). Refer to the "Water hardness table" to select the value. To exit the programming mode press one button or do not touch the keypad for 2 seconds. • • 16 User instructions WATER HARDNESS TABLE WATER HARDNESS ° German H Degrees 0-6 7 - 10 11 - 15 16 - 21 22 - 28 29 - 35 36 - 50 ° French F Degrees 0 - 11 12 - 18 19 - 27 28 - 37 38 - 50 51 - 62 63 - 90 ° English l Degrees 0-8 9 - 12 13 - 19 20 – 26 27 – 35 36 - 43 44 - 63 SETTING h. -0 NO SALT h. -1 h. -2 h. -3 h. -4 h. -5 h. -6 Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.

With the exception of the SOAK program, before every washing cycle it is necessary to add the required amount of detergent to the detergent dispenser. The rinse aid, on the other hand, should only be added as required. 17 User instructions ADDING THE RINSE AID The rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and prevents the formation of scale deposits and staining; it is automatically added to the water during the final rinse cycle, from the container situated on the inner side of the door. • Rotate the container cap anticlockwise by ¼ of a turn and remove it. • Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 cc). The optical level indicator on the side of the cap should be completely obscured. Refill the rinse aid when the optical level indicator becomes clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light illuminates.
