B. LOADING THE SALT INTO THE SOFTENER
Always use salt intended for using 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.
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.
