Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.
WAT E R S O F T E N E R
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 container specifically designed
to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.
L OA D I N G T H E S A LT I N TO T H E S O F T E N E R
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as explained in
the following:
AT T E N T I O N :
»
Only use salt specifically designed for the use in dishwashers. Every other type
of salt not specifically designed for the use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage
the water softener. In case of damages caused by the use of unsuitable salt the manufacturer
does not give any warranty nor is liable for any damages caused.
»
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes. This will
prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the
bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
