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

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 a salt container
specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.
4.2
Loading the salt into the softener
Always use the salt intended for use with dishwasher.
The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as
explained in the following.
¡WARNING!
Only use salt specifically designed for the use in dishwasher. 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 using
unsuitable salt the manufacturer does not give ant warranty nor is liable for any
damages caused.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programs.
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, which may cause
corrosion.
