If using salt tablets, do not fill the container completely. 14 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) NOTA: for the setting below to be possible, a washing program other than the soak program must be set. Press the PROGRAM DELAY button (8) and keep it pressed until the preset value appears followed by a full stop (normally 3. ). Release the button then press it again in succession to display the value required, referring to the table. The 6 setting levels available will appear in this order: 3. , 4. , 5. , 0. , 1. , 2. . When the value required appears on the diplay, release the button; after 5 seconds the system automatically returns to setting of the program delay, and the setting will be made with the chosen value. N. B. : the display shows the water hardness setting and the program delay. The dot (. ) after the number indicates that the water hardness setting is being displayed. If the dot (. ) does not appear, the program delay is being displayed. 15 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. 16 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). 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. Replace the cover and turn it in a clockwise direction. Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to the formation of excess foam. ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER SETTING The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness. However it possible to change the setting by turning the dispenser's selector to the desired position: the amount of rinse aid dispensed is proportional to the selector position. To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cap through a quarter turn in an anticlockwise direction and remove it.
