[. . . ] The softener unit can treat water with a hardness of up to 60°fH (French grading) or 33°dH (German grading) through five different settings. The degree of hardness of your water can be obtained from your water supply company. If your water is at level 0, you need not use any regenerating salt, nor need you make any adjustment, as your water is soft. According to the degree of hardness of your water, regulate the softener unit in the following way: 1. Unscrew and remove the cap from the salt dispenser located in the bottom of the tub (fig. turn the selector screw to the required position with a screwdriver or a knife. Loading the salt On the bottom of the machine there is a container for the salt for regenerating the softener. It is important to use only a salt that is specifically designed for dishwasher. Other types of salt contain small quantities of insoluble particles which over a long period of time may affect and deteriorate the softener performance. To add salt, unscrew the cap of the container on the bottom and then refill the container. During this operation a little water will overflow; but keep adding salt until the container is full. When the container is full, clean the thread of salt residue and retighten the tap. use of the appliance, it should be refilled from time to time according to the regulation of the water softener unit. IMPORTANT (Only for first start up) When the appliance is used for the first time, after completely filling the salt container, it is necessary to add water until the container overflows. Regulating the water softener The table below lists different degrees of water hardness with the corresponding setting for the softener unit. At the end of every wash cycle the lid is always open and ready for the next time the dishwasher is used. The amount of detergent to be used varies according to how dirty the dishes are and on the type of dishes to be washed. We advise using 20:30 g of detergent in the wash section of detergent compartment (B). Since not all detergents are the same the instructions on the boxes of detergent can vary. We should just like to remind users that too little detergent does not clean the dishes properly whilst too much detergent will not produce better results and is also a waste. Filling the rinse aid container The rinse aid, which is automatically released during the last rinsing cycle, helps the dishes to dry quickly and prevents spots and stains forming. The rinse aid container can be found to the left of the detergent container (fig. To open the lid, push the reference mark and, in the same time, pull the tab of opening. It is always advisable to use rinse aid that is specifically designed for dishwasher. Check the rinse aid level through the indicator eye (C) which is located on the dispenser.

Regulating the rinse aid from 1 to 6 The regulator (D) is placed under the lid and can be turned using a coin.

Program settings Open the door and place dirty dishes inside the appliance. Press the "ON/OFF" button . IMPORTANT To confirm the "COLD RINSE" program, simultaneously press the "RAPID" program button and the "HALF LOAD" option button (the relevant LEDs will stop blinking and remain on to confirm the selection).

WARNING!Before starting a new programme, you should check that there is still detergent in the dispenser. If there is any break in the power supply while the dishwasher is operating, a special memory stores the selected programme and, when the power is restored, it continues where it left off (if it is necessary, the appliance will make a short thermal anti-shock programme before). Program interruption Opening the door when a program is running is not recommended especially during the main washing and final hot rinse phases. [. . . ]
