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. When the container is full, clean the thread of salt residue and retighten the tap. If the dishwasher is not required straightaway, set the Prewash programme so that the salt solution which has overflowed is discharged from the washing tank. The salt dispenser has a capacity of between 1. 5 and 1. 8 kg and, for efficient use of the appliance, it should be refilled from time to time according to the regulation of the water softener unit. Important: it is necessary to add water until the container overflows. Only install the dishwasher after completely filling the salt container. Adjustment of the upper basket If 27 cm to 31 cm plates are normally used, load them onto the lower basket after the upper basket has been placed in its upper position and proceed as detailed below : 1) Pull out the upper basket; 2) Then grasp the basket from both sides and lift it upwards (fig. 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 limit damage to the environment at the same time. Wash with soaking cycle (prewash) 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). 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. 16 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. To achieve excellent results every time, the filters should be checked and cleaned after each wash. [. . . ] If the machine is left in places where the temperature is below 0°C any water left inside the pipes may freeze. Wait until the temperature rises above zero and then wait for about 24 hours before starting up the dishwasher. 1 1b 2 20 21 Description of the controls H I L Attention This dishwasher is equipped with an anti-overflow safety device which works even when power is switched off, and if the water level is too high the supply will automatically be closed off. Important To ensure the correct operation of the anti-overflow safety device, it is recommended not to move or to tilt the dishwasher during operation. If it is necessary to move or to tilt the dishwasher, first make sure the washing cycle is finished and that no water is left in the tank.
