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 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 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;
- Place the end of the funnel(supplied) into the hole and introduce 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.
The salt container should be filled after about every 30 wash cycles.
To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before beginning a wash
cycle.
Adjusting Salt Consumption
The dishwasher is equipped with a system to adjust the level of salt consumption in function
of the hardness of the water being used in order to optimize and customize the level of salt
consumption while keeping it to a minimum.
To adjust salt consumption,proceed as follows:
- Unscrew the cap from the salt container;
- 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.
