Rinse Aid And Refined Salt; Loading The Rinse Aid; Loading The Refined Salt - SCHOLTES LVX 12 - 56 Mode D'emploi

Rinse aid and refined salt

If using a multi-functional product it is not necessary to add
rinse aid; however, we recommend that you add salt, especially
if you live in an area where the water is hard or very hard.
*

Loading the rinse aid

Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water runs
off surfaces more readily and therefore does not leave streaks
or marks.
The rinse aid dispenser should be filled:
• whenever the indicator light (H) signals that it is empty.
Illuminated light: add rinse aid; unlit light: there is no
shortage of rinse aid in the dispenser.
*
• When the LOW RINSE AID
panel/display is illuminated;
1. Open the dispenser by turning
the lid (G) in an anticlockwise
H
direction.
2. Pour in the rinse aid, making sure
it does not overflow from the
dispenser. If this happens, clean
F
the spill immediately with a dry
G
cloth.
3. Screw the lid back on.
NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.
If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you
may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a screwdriver to
turn the dosage adjuster to one of the 6 pre-set positions (the
default position is set to 4):
• if there are white streaks on the crockery, set the adjuster to
a lower number (1-3).
• if drops of water remain on the crockery or there are
limescale marks present after the cycle has finished, set the
adjuster to a higher number (4-6).
If you are using multi-functional tablets and you wish to
further improve the drying performance of the appliance, fill the
dispenser and set the dosage adjuster to 2.

Loading the refined salt

Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, by
using refined salt designed especially for this type of appliance,
supplies water without limescale which is then used to wash the
crockery.
This dishwasher offers a setting which helps to reduce pollution
and optimises washing performance in accordance with the
water hardness level in your area. This information can be
obtained from the organisation which supplies your household
with water.

In order to obtain the best possible results from a wash cycle,
make sure that the dispenser is never empty. Refined salt
removes limescale from the water, thus avoiding the formation
of deposits on crockery. The salt dispenser is located in the
lower part of the dishwasher (see Description) and should be
filled:
*
• when the green float cannot be seen by simply looking at
the cap of the salt dispenser;
*
• When the LOW SALT indicator light on the control panel/
display is illuminated;
• if your machine is not equipped with an indicator light or a
green float:
approximately every 30 wash cycles;
1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew
the cap of the dispenser (in an anti-
clockwise direction).
2. For the first wash cycle only: fill the
dispenser up to the edges with water.
3. Position the funnel* provided
correctly (see figure) and fill the salt
dispenser up to the edges
(approximately 2 kg); it is normal for a little water to leak out.
4. Remove the funnel*, wipe away any salt residue from the
thread and screw the cap on tightly, so that detergent does
not leak into the dispenser during the wash cycle (this could
damage the water softening system beyond repair).
 When necessary, measure out the salt before a wash
cycle so that any saline solution which has leaked out of the
salt dispenser is removed.
It is possible to adjust the amount of salt used according to the
hardness of the water in your area (this information is available
from your local water board).
1. Unscrew the dispenser cap.
2. Turn the arrow on the neck of the
dispenser (see figure) towards the + or -
symbols, using the table below as a
guide.

The default setting of the water softening system is +.
- If using multi-functional tablets fill the salt dispenser and set the
adjuster to -; if the hardness of the water is greater than 60°fH,
set it to +.
