[. . . ] 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. 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. ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM The dishwasher is equipped with an device for the user to adjust the water softening system according to the hardness of the water supply. According to the machine model, the selector which acts on the adjustment may be located: inside the plastic locking ring located on the right-hand side, inside the dishwasher; inside the water softener, just below the cap. Both allow for adjustment to 5 settings: 16 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. With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be achieved at 65C using traditional detergents. For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of phosphate- and chlorine free detergents. Also available are tablet detergents which state that that no salt or rinse aid is required. In some cases, these detergents might not give good results, especially with short and/or low-temperature washing cycles. a white coating on the tank or dishes, poor drying, dirt on dishes at the end of the wash) are noted, users are advised to return to conventional products (granular salt, powder detergent and liquid rinse aid). However, please note that on return to the use of conventional salt, a number of cycles will be required before the system becomes fully efficient again, so traces of white coating may still be found on the tank and dishes. If the problem persists for too long, contact the After-Sales Service. When using detergent in tablet form (bear in mind that we recommend the use of three separate products: detergent, salt and rinse aid), place the tablets in the cutlery rack. The dispenser is designed to use powder or liquid detergent and the door does not open completely during the washing cycle. This means that a tablet is not completely dissolved (released), which may lead to the following: - not enough detergent released during the cycle, with poor washing results; - the detergent forms a solid block in the distributor and is released during the final rinse cycle. The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in liquid form, will damage the dishwasher. 20 User instructions 4. 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.
