Water in your home

Water hardness varies according to where you live. If the water in your home is hard, without water softening, incrustations would form on your dishes. Your dishwasher is fitted with a water softener which uses special salt to get rid of limescale in the water.

To prevent rust

from forming, load the salt just before beginning a wash cycle.

Loading the salt.

Always use salt which is intended fordishwasheruse.

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)

Savings are easy

Using your electric household appliances wisely helps you make savings and is good for the environment.

Maximum load.

To optimise consumption levels, try to use the dishwasher with a full load only. If it takes quite some time to fill up your dishwasher, use the soak cycle to avoid the formation of bad odours and caked-on food.

The right wash cycle.

Select the most suitable wash cycle for the type of load you have placed in the dishwasher. The choice of wash cycle depends on the type of dishes to wash and on how dirty they are. To select the right wash cycle, please consult the wash cycle table on page 5.
