Indesit IDE 45 Loading the Salt into the Softener, Adjusting Salt Consumption, Water Hardness

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 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 up when the low salt indicator light "S" flashes.

Once you have loaded the salt for the first time, it is normal that the low salt indicator light stays on or flashes for about 5 consecutive 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:
