Before Using your Dishwasher

Adjusting the water softener.

Your dishwasher can adjust its salt consumptionaccordingtothehard- ness of the water in your home. This way, you can optimise and customise your dishwasher's salt consumption.

To adjust salt consumption, do as follows:

1.Unscrew the salt container cap

2.There is an arrow on the neck of the container (see figure): if necessary, turn the arrow anti-

clockwise from the "-" setting to the "+" setting.

Select the arrow position depending on the water hardness, referring to the table.

Salt

Filling the salt container.

Always use salt which is intended for dishwasher use.

The salt container is situated underneath the lower basket, fill it up as follows:

1.Pull out the lower basket completely, unscrew and remove the container cap

2.If it is the first time you add the salt, first fill the container up with water (you won't have to do this againnexttime)

3.Put the dishwasher funnel on the hole and pour in approximately two kilos of salt. It is normal that some water comes out of the container.

4.Screw the cap back in place carefully.

When to add salt.

The salt container should be filled up when the low salt indicator light "S" flashes. Your appliance will re- mind you to do so for 5 consecu- tive wash cycles.
