Refined Salt and Rinse Aid

(°dH  =  hardness  measured  in  German  degrees  -  °f  =  hardness 
measured in French degrees – mmol/l = millimoles per litre) 

Measuring out the rinse aid

Rinse  aid  makes  dish  DRYING  easier.  The  rinse  aid  dispenser 
should be filled:
•  When the LOW RINSE AID indicator light on the panel/display 

is lit

;

•  When  the  dark  optical  indicator  on  the  dispenser  door 

“E” 

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”

. 

A maximum of 4 levels can be set according to the dishwasher 
model. The factory setting is for a medium level.

•  If you see bluish streaks on the dishes, set a low number (1-2).
•  If  there  are  drops  of  water  or  limescale  marks  on  the  dishes, 

set a high number (3-4).

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.

Measuring out the refined salt

The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the dishes 
and on the machine's functional components. 
• It is important that the salt dispenser be never empty.
• It is important to set the water hardness.
The salt dispenser is located in the lower part of the dishwasher 

(see Description)

 and should be filled:

•  When the LOW SALT 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.

• Switch the dishwasher on using the On/Off button.

• Switch it off using the On/Off button

• Hold down button Start/Pause 

 for 5 seconds until you hear 

a beep.
• Switch it on using the On/Off button 
•  The  display  shows  the  current  selection  level  number  and  the 
salt indicator light.
• Press button 

P

 to select the desired hardness level

 (see hardness 

table).
• Switch it off using the On/Off button 
• Setting is complete!

For values between 0°f and 10°f, we do not recommend the 
use of salt. A setting of 5 may increase cycle duration. (°dH
