4.1Using the water softening system

The amount of scale contained in the water (water hardness index) can cause whitish staining on the dry dishes, which tend to become dull over time.

The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic softening system which uses a special regenerating salt to reduce the hardness of the water.

The dishwasher is factory set for water hardness level 3 (average hardness 37-59°dF– 22-33°dH).

When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt container can hold approximately 1.5 Kg of salt in grains.

The salt reservoir is in the bottom of the dishwasher. After removing the basket, undo the cap of the reservoir by turning it anticlockwise and pour the salt in using the funnel supplied with the dishwasher. Remove any salt residues around the opening before screwing the cap back on.

ξWhen using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it is also necessary to add one litre of water to the container.

ξEach time the salt container is refilled, make sure that the cap is securely closed. The mixture of water and detergent must never penetrate the salt container, as this would compromise the operation of the regeneration system. In the event of this occurring, the warranty will be invalidated.

ξOnly use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic dishwashers. If using salt tablets, do not fill the container completely.
