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.
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 optimise and customise 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, proceed as follows:
Detergent
Detergent specifically intended for use with dishwashers must be used. The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the "Wash Cycle Table." The detergent dispenser is located on the inside panel of the door.
Rinse Aid
