becomes transparent.
1. Open the dispenser by turning
the cap "G" in an anticlockwise
direction.
2. Pour in the rinse aid, making
sure it does not overflow from the
dispenser. If this happens, clean
the spill immediately with a dry
cloth.
3.Screwthecapbackon.
NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the tub.
Adjusting the amount of rinse aid
If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you
can adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Turn the adjuster “F”.

Only use products which have been specifically designed
for dishwashers. Do not use table salt or industrial salt.
Follow the instructions given on the packaging.
If you are using a multi-function product, we recommend
that you add salt in any case, especially if the water is hard
or very hard. (Followtheinstructionsgivenonthepackaging.)
If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT and
LOW RINSE AID indicator lights will remain lit.

The salt dispenser is located in the lower part of the dishwasher
(seeDescription) and should be filled:
• WhentheLOWRINSEAIDindicatorlightinthecontrolpanel
is lit;
• Seeautonomyinthewaterhardnesstable.
1.Removethe lower rack andunscrew the container cap
(anticlockwise).
2. Only the first time you do this: fill the water
dispenser up to the edge.
3.Positionthefunnel (see figure) and
fill the salt container right up to its edge
(approximately1kg);itisnotunusualfora
little water to leak out.
4.Removethefunnelandwipeanysaltresidueawayfromthe
opening; rinse the cap under running water and then screw it on.
It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you add salt
to the container.
Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can
getintothecontainerduringthewashcycle(thiscoulddamage
the water softener beyond repair).
Whenever you need to add salt, we recommend carrying out
the procedure before the washing cycle is started.
Setting the water hardness
For perfect water softener operation, it is essential that the
adjustment be based on the water hardness in your house. Ask
your local water supplier for this information. The factory setting
is for medium water hardness.
