Never without salt

Water in your home

Water hardness varies according to where you live. If the water in your home is hard you have the possibility to add salt in order to soften your water. The softer the water the better will be your washing and drying results.

Loading the salt.

You can use special water softening salt or normal rock salt. The salt container is situated underneath the lower rack, fill it up as follows:

1.Pull out the lower rack completely, unscrew and remove the container cap

2.Is it the first time you load the salt? First fill the container up with water (you won't have to do this again next time)

3.Put the dishwasher funnel on the hole and pour in approximately 70 oz. of salt. It is normal that some water comes out of the container.

4.Screw the cap back in place carefully.

When should I load the salt?

The salt container should be filled after about every 30 cycles.

Intelligent salt.

Your dishwasher can adjust its salt consumption according to the hardness of the water in your home. This way, you can optimise and customise your dishwasher's salt consumption (not too much, nor too little).

To adjust salt consumption, do as follows:

1.Unscrew the salt container cap

2.There is an arrow on the neck of the container (see figure): if necessary, turn the arrow

anti-clockwise from the "-" setting to the "+" setting.

Select the arrow position depending on the water hardness, referring to the table provided.
