You are advised to read this manual carefully; it contains all the information you need about the right conditions for the proper, safe use of your dishwasher. The individual sections are laid out to provide you with a step-by-step guide to all your appliance's functions; the texts are easy to understand and are complete with detailed illustrations. [. . . ] The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic softening system which uses a special regenerating salt to reduce the hardness of the water. The dishwasher is factory set for water hardness level 3 (average hardness 41-60dF 24-31dH). SALT When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt container can hold approximately 1. 7 Kg of salt in grains. The container is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. After removing the lower basket, unscrew the salt container cap by turning it anticlockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel supplied with the dishwasher. Before replacing the cap, remove any salt residues from around the opening. When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it is also necessary to add one litre of water to the container. Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that the cap is securely closed. The mixture of water and detergent must never penetrate the salt container, as this would compromise the operation of the regeneration system. In the event of this occurring, the warranty will be invalidated. Only use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic dishwashers. If using salt tablets, do not fill the container completely. 16 User instructions Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over time, may damage the water softening system. When necessary, refill the regenerating salt container before starting the washing program. 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 (3) pressed for a few seconds, until the H. - symbol, followed by the set value, appears on the 3-FIGURE DISPLAY (7). The PROGRAM DELAY button (3) can be pressed again to select the most suitable hardness value (h. -1, h. -2. . . h. -5). Refer to the "Water hardness table" to select the value. To exit the programming mode press the START/PAUSE button (2) or do not touch the keypad for 2 seconds to allow the system to exit the mode automatically. 17 User instructions WATER HARDNESS TABLE WATER HARDNESS German Degrees (dH) French Degrees (dF) 0-4 5 - 15 16 - 23 24 - 31 32 - 47 48 - 58 0-7 8 - 25 26 - 40 41 - 60 61 - 80 81 - 100 SETTING Setting N. 5 Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply. 4. 2 Using the rinse aid and detergent dispensers The detergent and rinse aid dispensers are situated on the inner part of the door: the detergent dispenser is on the left, and the rinse aid dispenser is on the right. 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. 18 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 of a turn and remove it. Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 cc). [. . . ] To remove the filter, grip the tabs, turn them anticlockwise and lift upwards; push the centre filter D from the underside to remove it from the micro-filter: separate the two parts which make up the plastic filter by pressing the body of the filter in the zone shown by the arrows; remove the centre filter by lifting it upwards. GENERAL WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECT MAINTENANCE: The filters should be cleaned under running water using a stiff brush. When removing the filter, take care that there are no food residues on it. If any residues fall into the washing pit they might block hydraulic components, or foul the spray arm nozzles. It is essential to thoroughly clean the filters according to the above instructions: the dishwasher cannot function if the filters are clogged. [. . . ]
