FIRST TIME USE
FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR
The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the dishes and on the machine’s functional components.
The salt reservoir must never be empty.
It is important to set the water hardness. The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher and must be filled when the SALT REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit.
Whenever you need to add salt, it is mandatory to complete the procedure before the beginning of the washing cycle to avoid corrosion.
FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
- Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap (anticlockwise).
- Position the funnel (see figure) and fill the salt reservoir right up to its edge (approximately 1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak out.
- Only the first time you do this: fill the salt reservoir with water.
- Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue away from the opening. Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly so that no detergent can get into the container during the wash program (this could damage the water softener beyond repair).
FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
Rinse aid makes dish DRYING easier. The rinse aid dispenser A should be filled
when the RINSE AID REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit.
NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.
FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER
To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device C. Introduce the
detergent into the dry dispenser D only. Place the amount of detergent for
pre-washing directly inside the tub.
The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time according to
the program.
If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABLET button,
because it adjusts the program so that the best washing and drying results are
always achieved Usage of detergent not designed for dishwashers may cause
malfunction or damage to the appliance.
WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM
Water softener automatically reduces water hardness, consequently preventing scale buildup on the heater, contributing also to better cleaning efficiency. This system regenerates itself with salt, therefore it is required to refill salt containers when empty. The frequency of regeneration depends on the water hardness level setting – regeneration takes place once per 6 Eco cycles with the water hardness level set to 3. The regeneration process starts in the final rinse and finishes in the drying phase before the cycle ends.
- Single regeneration consumes : ~3.5L of water;
- Takes up to 5 additional minutes for the cycle;
- Consumes below 0.005kWh of energy
PROGRAMS TABLE
