DETAILED INFORMATION

FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR

The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the dishes and on

the machine’s functional components.

• It is mandatory that the salt reservoir 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

lled when the SALT REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit.

1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap

(anticlockwise).

2. Position the funnel (see gure) and ll the salt reservoir

right up to its edge (approximately 1 kg); it is not unu-

sual for a little water to leak out.

3. Only the rst time you do this: ll the salt reservoir

with water.

4. 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).

Whenever you need to add salt, it is mandatory to complete the proce-

dure before the beginning of the washing cycle to avoid corrosion.

FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER

Rinse aid makes dish DRYING easier. The rinse aid

dispenser A should be lled 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.

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 malfunc-

tion or damage to the appliance.

WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM

Water softener automatically reduces water hardness, consequently pre-

venting scale buildup on heater, contributing also to better cleaning e-

ciency. This system regenerates itself with salt, therefore it is required

to rell salt container when empty.

Frequency of regeneration depends on water hardness level setting - regen-

eration takes place once per 6 Eco cycles with water hardness level set to 3.

Regeneration process starts in nal rinse and nishes in drying phase, be-

fore cycle ends.

• Single regeneration consumes: ~3.5L of water;

• Takes up to 5 additional minutes for the cycle;

• Consumes below 0.005kWh of energy.

After my dishwasher has finished it's cycle, the container that holds the tablet hasn't opened. How is this possible? Verified

This problem is often caused by dishes that are blocking the container. Check this before turning on the dishwasher.

The dishwasher does not heat the water anymore, why is that? Verified

It is likely that the heating element is defective. Have it replaced. When in doubt, contact the manufacturer.

This was helpful (7618) Read more

Can I use regular salt in my dishwasher? Verified

No, regular salt may contain substances that can cause damage to your appliance.

This was helpful (3241) Read more

Do I need to rinse my dishes before putting them in the dishwasher? Verified

Rinsing the dishes is not necessary, but you do need to remove any large, hard and fat leftovers. These could clog the drain over time.

This was helpful (1321) Read more

Can I open the dishwasher while it is running? Verified

Most dishwashers are equipped with a water stop, making the program stop immediately when the door is opened and meaning no water will come out. With some models this can cause problems over time. With built-in dishwashers it is possible that frequently opening the dishwasher while running may cause water damage to surrounging cabinets because of the steam that is released.

Should I open the dishwasher after it finished running to have the dishes dry quicker? Verified

This depends on the type of dishwasher and the location of the dishwasher. Some dishwashers are equipped with a feature that dries the dishes after the washing program. In that case opening the dishwasher will have no added value. With built-in dishwashers it is possible that frequently opening the dishwasher while running may cause water damage to surrounging cabinets because of the steam that is released.

After the dishwaser has finished its cycle, the plastic dishes are still wet but the rest isn't. Why is that? Verified

Plastic is a bad conductor of heat, allowing the products to cool down quickly. The moisture that remains on it then evaporates far less than for example on ceramics or metal.

This was helpful (773) Read more

Can I connect a dishwasher to an extension cord? Verified

Appliances that require large amounts of power, like a dishwasher, can not be connected to all extension cords. See what the power usage of the dishwasher is, which is indicated in Watt, and check if the extension cord cn handle this. There are extension cords with thicker cables that are made to handle larger appliances.

This was helpful (702) Read more

Can I put wooden objects such as spatulas and cutting boards in the dishwasher? Verified

No. Wooden objects can get damaged or warped in a dishwasher. Also, the wood fibres that come free might damage the dishwasher. Wooden cutting boards are often made with glue that can come loose after being in the dishwasher several times.

Can I put pans with Teflon in the dishwasher? Verified

Yes, you can. However, the pan will wear faster than when it is cleaned by hand. When cleaning a pan with Teflon by hand, never use a scourer but use a soft sponge or cloth.
