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.
Loading the Salt into the Softener
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers. The salt container is
located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:
1.Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container;
2.If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with water;
3.Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce about
2kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container.
4.Carefully screw the cap back on.
The salt container should be filled after about every 30 wash cycles.
To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before beginning a wash cycle.
Adjusting Salt Consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of salt consumed based on the
harness of the water used. This is intended to optimize and cus-
tomize the level of salt con- sumption 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, pro- ceed as follows:
1)Unscrew the cap from the salt container.
2)There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see figure to the side), if necessary, rotate the ring in the anti- clockwise direction from the "_" setting towards the "+" sign, based on the hardness of the water being used.
It is recommended that adjustments be made in accord- ance with the following schema:
