User instructions 4. Operating instructions Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as follows: 4.1 Adjust the water softening system; Add the regenerating salt; Add the rinse aid and detergent. Using the water softening system The amount of scale contained in the water (water hardness index) can cause whitish staining on the dry dishes, which tend to become dull over time.
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.
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. To add rinse aid: Open the door. Open the door S. Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 cc). The optical level indicator O on the side of the cap should be completely obscured.
User instructions ADDING THE DETERGENT After adding the detergent, to close the lid slide it in the direction shown by the arrow as far as it will go then press gently to lock. During washing, the dispenser will be opened automatically. 24 Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. For optimal washing results it is important to use a good quality detergent.
User instructions "3/1" Products If you wish to use detergents which already contain salt and rinse aid, check whether your dishwasher is fitted with the "3/1 option button" on the "Controls description" page and then refer to the section which explains how to use this function.
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. Do not place very small objects in the baskets as these could fall and obstruct the spray arms or the wash pump. Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be loaded with the opening facing downwards and with any cavities at an angle, to allow the water to drain out.
