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 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;

- There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see figure).

- 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 be made in accordance with

the following scheme:

S a l t

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 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 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.
