For the machine to work properly, the door should not be opened while it is in operation. 8 - *The water softener unit is set in the factory at level 2, as this is suitable for the majority of users. 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: - remove the lower rack. Unscrew and remove the cap from the salt dispenser located in the bottom of the tub (Fig. A "1"); - Turn the selector screw to the required position with a screwdriver or a knife. TYPE 1 TYPE 2 9 Loading the salt The dishwasher is fitted with a softener which clears the water of lime which could cause scale and damage the dishwasher. On the bottom of the machine there is a container for the salt for regenerating the softener. The filter medium of the softening plant must be reactivated with dishwasher water softener regenerating salt. 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. 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 gr of detergent in the wash section of detergent compartment (1). 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. Do not use an excessive amount of detergent and help to limit damage to the environment at the same time. Wash with soaking cycle If setting the Universal Intensive wash programme, a second dose of about 20 gr of detergent (1 table-spoon) must be added to the machine in the prewash section of detergent compartment (2). 16 FULL EMPTY dark light Regulating the rinse aid from 1 to 6 3 The regulator is placed under the cap (3) and can be turned using a coin. The limestone content of the water considerably affects the formation of limescale and the drying performance. It is therefore important to regulate the quantity of rinse aid to achieve good washing results. If, after the wash, streaks occur on the dishes, decrease the amount by one position. If whitish spots occur, increase the amount by one position. 17 Cleaning the filters Practical hints The filter system (fig. A "4") consists of: a central container that traps the larger particles. a flat gauze that continuously filters the wash water a micro filter, located beneath the gauze, that traps the tiniest particles ensuring a perfect rinse. [. . . ] · wash the rotor arms under a jet of water to clear any blockage in the spray heads. · When you have finished, refit the rotor arms in the same position, remembering to re-align the arrow and screw into position. The water heater element is made of a special stainless steel which after a while may change colour; this does not in any way affect its performance or its working life (only for the models with water heater element inside the tub). Both the door lining and the tank lining are in stainless steel; however, should spots caused by oxidation occur, this is probably due to a high level of iron salts presents in the water. The spots can be removed with a mild abrasive agent; never use chlorine based materials, steel wool, etc. WHEN CYCLE IS FINISHED After every wash it is essential to turn off water supply and to switch off the machine by pressing the On/Off button to the off position.
