Note
You must only refill the salt compartment when the salt indicator light turns on on the
control panel. Depending on how well the salt is dissolved, the salt indicator light may
remain on, even if the salt compartment is full.
4.2 Water softener
-
This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which uses a salt compartment
specifically designed to reduce water hardness.
-
To find out the hardness level of your tap, you can contact your water company or use a
test strip.
-
You must set the water softener manually according to the water hardness in your area,
to do so use the water hardness dial. The goal is to optimise and customise the salt
consumption level.

4.3 Detergent use
-
Use only detergents designed specifically for household dishwashers. Keep the detergent
in a cool, dry place and out of reach from children.
-
The ingredients used in the detergents are necessary to remove dirt from the dishwasher.
-
Do not fill the compartment with powder detergent until it is ready to wash the dishes.
-
The necessary detergent amount will depend on the cycle, the load size and the dishes
dirt level. Add an adequate amount to ensure optimum performance.
-
If the detergent amount is too high, you will notice glass and dishes have whitish stripes
or bluish layers, which may cause corrosion. Continued use of too much detergent may
cause damage to the dishwasher.
-
If the amount of detergent is too low, it can cause bad cleaning, as well as whitish stripes
if the water is hard.
-
Check the manufacturer instructions for the detergent to get more information.
Filling the detergent dispenser
Fig. 14
1. Slide the detergent compartment release tab to the right to open the cover.
2. Add detergent in the biggest hole (A) for the main wash. For better results on dirtier
loads, also add detergent in the smaller hole (B) so that detergent is released during
prewash.
3. Close the tap by sliding it forward and press it downwards.
4.4 Rinse aid use
-
Use only detergents designed specifically for household dishwashers. Keep the rinse aid
in a cool, dry place and out of reach from children.
-
Rinse aid is used to promote the drying of the dishes without marks and stains. The rinse
aid is automatically released during the last rinse to prevent water droplets from forming
on the dishes, which can leave stains and marks.
-
This dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids.
-
If the rinse aid dose is too low, there will be whitish stains in the dishes and they will not
dry correctly.
-
If the rinse aid dose is too high, you will see bluish layers on glass and dishes.
Never fill the rinse aid compartment with other substances, as this could damage the
dishwasher
Filling the rinse aid compartment

1. Remove the tap of the rinse aid compartment by lifting it.
2. Pour the rinse aid in the dispenser carefully, avoiding spilling it out of the compartment.
3. Close the tap by pressing it until it is locked in place.
