Setting the water softener

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.

The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, Clarke, French degrees and PPM (parts per Million).

The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.

The dishwasher is factory set at level 2.

If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted.

	Water hardness				Water	Adjustment
	Clarke	French	PPM
				Level	softener	on the
	degrees	degrees	(Parts per
					adjustment	machine
		(°TH)	Million)
0 - 10		0 - 14	0 - 140	1	NO	NO
11 - 27		15 - 39	141 - 390	2	NO	NO

With a water hardness of level 5 both adjustments must be made.

Filling with salt

Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers.

All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener.

Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes (not the Rinse and Hold

programme). This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.

To fill:

1.To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt container.

2.Pour a litre of water inside the container (this is necessary only before filling with salt for the first time).

50 - 63	71	- 90	701	- 900	5	YES	YES

To adjust the water softener

Level 1

If your water is "level 1" it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt.

Levels 3 and 5

(water softener adjustment)

3.Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until the container is full.

Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal.

4.Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.

5.Screw on the cap tightly.
