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. • 15 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. ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS (Customizing the consumer parameters) (available in all programs except the soak program) The electronic control system allows personalizing the machine use directly through a programming procedure not directly accessible that allows: regulate water hardness level. To access the programming environment, the appliance must be turned on with the door open. Then proceed as follows: • • press the PROGRAM DELAY button until the H symbol appears on the display, followed by the number currently set (e. g. H3) press the PROGRAM DELAY button the number of times needed to select the right setting level for the hardness of the water (H0, H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6); N. B. : after few seconds the appliance exits the parameter setting menu automatically. 16 User instructions WATER HARDNESS TABLE WATER HARDNESS German degrees (° dH) French Degrees (° dF) 0-6 7 - 10 11 - 15 16 - 21 22 - 28 29 - 35 36 - 50 0 - 11 12 - 18 19 - 27 28 - 37 38 - 50 51 - 62 63 - 90 SETTING H 0 NO SALT H1 H2 H3 H4 H5 H6 Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply. After adjustment or display of the current setting, simply do not touch the button for a few seconds; the dishwasher will automatically return to standard mode, quitting the adjustment mode. 2. 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. C - Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower temperatures (from 40 to 55° ) and are more easily C biodegradable. With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be achieved at 65° using traditional detergents. C For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of phosphate- and chlorine free detergents. 19 User instructions The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in liquid form, will damage the dishwasher. 2. 3 General warnings and recommendations Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the following recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading. There are generally no constraints on the washing of domestic dishes, but in certain cases it is necessary to take their characteristics into account. Before loading the dishes into the baskets it is necessary to: • remove coarse food remains: e. g. which may clog the filter or damage the wash pump. • soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom to facilitate removal, then load them into the LOWER BASKET. There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before loading them into the baskets since this only wastes water. Correct loading of the dishes helps ensure optimal washing results. 20 User instructions WARNING!• • • • • Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot tip over or obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the washing cycle. [. . . ] Wash the arms under a jet of running water and return them carefully to their seat. After reassembly, check that the spray arms turn freely. Otherwise, check that they have been installed correctly. ORBITAL 30 User instructions CLEANING THE FILTER UNIT • • • • It is advisable to periodically inspect the centre filter C and, if necessary, to clean it. 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. [. . . ]
