WATER SOFTENER UNIT

Depending on the source of the supply, water contains varying amounts of limestone and minerals which are deposited on the dishes leaving whitish stains and marks.

The higher the level of these minerals present in the water, the harder the water is. The dishwasher is fitted with a water softener unit which, through the use of special regenerating salt, supplies softened water for washing the dishes. The degree of hardness of your water can be obtained from your water supply company.

Regulating the water softener with electronic programmer

The water softener can treat water with a hardness level of up to 90°fH (French grading) or 50°dH (German grading) through 8 settings.

The settings are listed in the table below.

*The softener unit is set in the factory at level 4 (d4) as this satisfies the requirements of the majority of users.

Regulate the setting of your water softener unit according to the degree of hardness of your water as follows:

1.Keep the "DELAY START" button

pressed in and at the same time press the "ON/OFF" button .

The factory setting "d4" will appear on the display.

2.To change the setting, press the "DELAY START" button. Each time you press that button the setting will increase by one level.

When you have reached "d7", the display will go back to "d1".

3.When the required setting appears on the display, wait for an audible signal to confirm that the new setting has been stored in memory.

LOADING THE SALT

■ On the bottom of the machine there is a

container for the salt for regenerating

the softener.

■ It is important to use only a salt that is

specifically designed for dishwasher.

Other types of salt contain small quantities

of insoluble particles which over a long

period of time may affect and deteriorate

the softener performance.

■ To add salt, unscrew the cap of the con-

tainer on the bottom and then refill the

container.

■ During this operation a little water will

overflow; but keep adding salt until the

container is full. When the container is

full, clean the thread of salt residue and

retighten the tap.

■ After loading the salt, it is recommended

running a complete washing cycle,

or COLD RINSE programme. The salt

IMPORTANT

(Only for first start up)
