D ISHWASHER

Before Using your Dishwasher

Water hardness varies according to where you live. If the water in your home is hard, without water softening, incrustations would form on your dishes. Your dishwasher is fitted with a water softener which uses special salt to get rid of limescale in the water.

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.

IMPORTANT:

Only use recommend dishwasher salt DO NOT use everyday table salt, cooking salt as they contain insoluble substances which could harm your dishwasher.

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 again next time)

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.

The dishwasher will remind you to do so for five consecutive wash cycles.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

WARNING:

DO NOT pour detergent into the special salt container - This will destroy the water softener.

3 in 1 dishwasher tablets are now available. These combine detergent, salt and rinse aid ALL IN ONE. If the water in your area is hard or very hard, we still recommend you add salt to the salt container to prevent white streaks on your dishes and in the dishwashers interior.

Add rinse aid to the dispenser, only if you are dissatisfied with the results. In all cases, please read the manufacturers instructions on the packet.

If you are only using the 3 in 1 products, after a number of cycles it is normal for the salt and rinse aid indicator lights to flash permanently.
