Salt
Salt
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
specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.
Loading the Salt into the Softener
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers. The salt con-
tainer 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;
- Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and intro
duce about 2 kg 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 for adjusting the amount of
salt consumed according to the hardness of the water used. This
is intended to optimise and customise the level of salt consump-
tion so that it remains at a minimum.
To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows:
- Unscrew the cap from the salt container;
- On the neck of the container there is a ring with an arrow on it
(see figure above). If necessary, turn the ring anti-clockwise
from the "-" sign towards the "+" setting, according to water
hardness.
- It is highly recommended that the following table be consulted
when making adjustments.
