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 Softener
Always use salt intended
for use with dishwashers. The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:
1.Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container;
2.If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with water;
3.Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container.
4.Carefully screw the cap back on.
The salt container should be filled after about every 30 wash cycles.
Warning: To prevent rust from forming, we advise you to load the salt before starting a wash cycle.
Adjusting Salt Consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of salt consumed based
on the harness of the water
used. This is intended to optimize and customize the level of salt consumption so that
it remains at a minimum.
Your Local Water Board can supply the degree of hardness
of the water in your area.
To adjust salt consumption, pro- ceed as follows:
1)Unscrew the cap from the salt container.
2)There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see figure to the side), if necessary, rotate the ring in the anti- clockwise direction from the "_" setting towards the "+" sign, based on the hardness of the water being used.
It is recommended that adjustments be made in accord- ance with the following schema:
