How to look after and protect
the dishes you hold dear
■ For particularly delicate dishes,
we recommend you use the spe-
cific wash cycle offered by your
dishwasher.
Suggestions and advice for you.
Apart from
making you save
time and energy,
your dishwasher
disinfects your
dishes, washing
them at a high
temperature.
■ Silver plates and serving dishes
should be washed immediately
after use, especially if they have
contained salt, eggs, olives,
mustard, vinegar, fruit juices
and cooked vegetables.
■ Almost all silverware can be
cleaned in a dishwasher. There
are two exceptions: old silver-
ware and silverware decorated
with an oxidising agent. Hot
water can loosen the handles
on old silverware and wear off
the decorations on the other.
Never let silverware come into
contact with other metals: you
will thus avoid stains and black-
ening.
Never without salt
Loading the salt.
Always use salt which is intended
for dishwasher use.
The salt container is situated un-
derneath the lower rack, fill it up
as follows:
1. Pull out the lower rack com-
pletely, unscrew and remove
the container cap.
2. Is it the first time you load the
salt? First fill the container up
with water (you wont have to
do this again next time).
3. Put the dishwasher funnel on
the hole and pour in approxi-
mately two kilos of salt. It is
normal that some water comes
out of the container.
4. Screw the cap back in place
carefully.
When should I load the
salt?
The salt container should be filled
up when the low salt indicator light
S flashes. Once you have loaded
the salt for the first time, it is nor-
mal that the low salt indicator light
flashes for 5 consecutive cycles.
Salt adjustment
Your dishwasher can adjust its salt
consumption according to the hard-
ness of the water in your home.
This way, you can optimise and
customise your dishwashers salt
consumption (not too much, nor too
little).
To adjust salt consumption, do as
follows:
1. Unscrew the salt container cap
2. There is an arrow on the neck
of the container (see figure on
the right): if necessary, turn the
arrow anti-clockwise from the
- setting to the + setting.
Select the arrow position depend-
ing on the water hardness, refer-
ring to the table provided.
Water hardness varies according to where you live. If the water in your home
is hard, without water softening, incrustations would form on your dishes. Your
dishwasher is fitted with a water softener which uses special salt to get rid of
limescale in the water.
To prevent rust
from forming, load
the salt just before
beginning a wash
cycle.
You don’t know
how hard the
water in your
home is? Ask the
company that
supplies water in
your area.
Maximum load.
To optimise consumption levels, try to use
the dishwasher with a full load only. If it
takes quite some time to fill up your
dishwasher, use the soaking cycle to avoid
the formation of bad odours and caked-on
food.
The right wash cycle.
Select the most suitable wash cycle for the
type of load you have placed in the
dishwasher. The choice of wash cycle
depends on the type of dishes to wash and
on how dirty they are. To select the right
wash cycle, please consult the wash cycle
table on page 6.
