The hardness of the water varies depending upon
where you live. If hard water is used in the
dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes and
utensils.
This appliance is equipped with a special softener
that uses a salt specifically designed to eliminate
limescale 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:
• Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and
remove the cap from the salt container.
(If you are filling the container for the first time,
fill it with water before adding the salt.)
• 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.
• Carefully screw the cap back on.
To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt
just before beginning a wash cycle.
Adjusting salt consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow you to adjust
the amount of salt consumed, based on the
hardness of the water in your area. This is intended
to optimise and customise the level of salt
consumption so that it remains at a minimum.
To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows:
• Unscrew the cap from the salt container. The salt
adjuster has an arrow on it (Figure 16).
• Place a small screwdriver in the top of this arrow
and gently rotate clockwise (softer water) or anti-
clockwise (harder water) to the required position
depending upon water hardness.
It is advisable to top up the salt container monthly
and to fill until the salt reaches the top.
