USING
THE
WATER
SOFTENER
The
hardness
of
the
water
varies
from
place
to
place.
If
hard
water
is
used
in
the
dishwasher,
deposits
will
be
formed
on
the
utensils.
This
appliance
is
equipped
with
a
water
softener
which
uses
a
salt
specifically
designed
to
eliminate
the
minerals
from
the
water.
CAUTION
:
•
Only
use
salt
specially
formulated
for
domestic
dishwashers.
•
Do
not
use
table
salt
as
it
contains
insoluble
substances
which
may
damage
the
water
softening
system.
•
Fill
the
salt
container
before
starting
the
washing
programme
.
In
this
way,
the
excess
saline
solution
will
be
immediately
removed
by
the
water;
the
prolonged
presence
of
salt
water
inside
the
tank
may
lead
to
corrosion
.
•
If
you
plan
to
use
dishwasher
tablets
for
your
washing
needs,
then
you
do
not
require
to
use
salt
or
rinse

salt
indicator
light
will
remain
illuminated
on
the
control
panel
continuously
this
is
quite
normal
and
will
not
affect
the
operation
of
your
dishwasher.
