How to fill the salt

Salt

The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes and utensils.

The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.

Loading the salt into the container

Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.

The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:

According to the “Water Hardness Tabel”, you can calculate the salt con- sumption setting, then load the salt .

Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container.

If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with 1/2 a litre of water. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and fill with about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount

of water to come out of the salt container. Carefully screw the cap back on. Do not over tighten it.

Important

To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just

before beginning a wash cycle.

Adjusting salt consumption

The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimize the amount of salt consumption keeping it to a minimum.

To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows:

Unscrew the cap from the salt container;

There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see figure below ).

If necessary, rotate the ring in an anticlockwise direction from the "-" set- ting towards the "+" sign, based on the hardness of the water being used.

It is recommended that adjustments be made in accordance with the following table:
