B. Pour 500ml of water inside the salt container and then fill with dishwasher salt
C. Fill the rinse aid dispenser
D. Function of detergent

A.  Water Softener

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
     anticlockwise direction from the "-" setting towards the
     "+" sign, based on the hardness of the water being used.
     It is recommended that adjustments should be made in
     accordance with the following schema:

The water softener must be set manually, using the water hardness dial.
The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, which would have a 
detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance. The higher the content of these 
minerals and salts, the harder the water is. The softener should be adjusted according to the 
hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of 
the water in your area.

     Adjusting Salt Consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of salt consumed based on the 
hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimize and customize the level of salt 
consumption so that the salt consumption could be set proceed as follows:

Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.

B.  Loading the Salt into the Softener

Always use salt  intended for use with dishwasher.

NOTE: If your model has no water softener, you may skip this section

                                          

WATER   SOFTENER

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 salts specifically
designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.

A. Remove the lower basket and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container.
B. If you are filling the container for the first time, fill 2/3 of its volume with water (around 500ml).
C. 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.
D. Carefully screw the cap back on.
E. Usually, the salt warning light will be off in 2-6 days after the salt container is filled with salt.

The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as follows:
Attention!
Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers! All other types of salt not specifically 
designed for 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 caused damages.
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 split, remaining on the 
bottom of  the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
After the first wash cycle the control panel light expires.
