Water Softener

8

The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic softener which uses regenerating salts specially developed for dishwashers to remove hardening substances from the water.

Hard water leaves whitish marks on the dry dishes, and dishes gradually lose their shine over time. The appliance is preset to dispense the right amount of salt on the basis of the hardness of the mains water.

N.B. The appliance leaves the factory with a medium setting (2).

IMPORTANT NOTE: users are asked to take great care to close the salt container carefully after filling. It is important that detergent, or water containing it, should not enter the salt container, since this would impair operation of the regeneration system. In this case, the warranty would no longer apply.

Filling with salt

Use only regenerating salt for household dishwashers. If salt pastilles are used, do not fill container completely.

There is a container on the bottom of the dishwasher into which the regeneration salt has to be poured. After taking out the bottom basket, unscrew the cap off by turning it anti-clockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel supplied with the dishwasher. Before unscrewing the cap back into place, remove salt residue from the opening of the container. The water softener contains about 1,7 kg of salt.

N.B. when the appliance is used for the first time, one litre of water has to be poured into the tank as well as the salt.

The salt container must always be topped up before a wash, so that any overflowing salt solution will be removed immediately by the water. If this solution is left inside the tank, it might cause corrosion.

Adjusting the water softener

The dishwasher is fitted with a device which allows adjustements to the level of hardness of the mains water. It is inside the plastic ring-nut on the right-hand side inside the dishwasher and allows setting 5 levels. Set the water softener after checking the hardness of your water in accordance with the table below.
