Important:
For your dishwasher to provide impec-
cable washing and drying results with no
marks, you must set it correctly using the
water softening system, which uses regene-
rating salt.
• THE WATER HARDNESS
•
Lime:
rainwater filtering through the
ground picks up mineral salts; some minerals
are found in solid form commonly termed
lime. This reduces the washing detergent’s
performance, furs up the dishwasher and lea-
ves white marks on the crockery.
The more lime there is in the water, the more the
water is called “hard”.
Use the most suitable products for the level of
water hardness in your town.
There are several types of products; how to
choose:
For impeccable results, preferably
use a combination of traditional pro-
ducts:
① ①
Washing detergent
to clean the
crockery perfectly (powder, liquid or stan-
dard tablets).
② ②
Regenerating salt
to enable your dis-
hwasher’s water softener to operate cor-
rectly.
③ ③
Rinsing liquid
to assist drying and to
eliminate marks from water droplets.
Important:
Never use washing-up liquid.
Important:
Follow the instructions for using the
multi-purpose product and the recommenda-
tions on the pack.
NB:
If in any doubt, please contact the
detergent manufacturer if the crockery is
very wet at the end of the programme or if
chalky deposits appear.
For ease of use and in certain water
hardness conditions only (< 25°F),
multi-purpose products
can make the
use of regenerating salt and rinsing liquid
unnecessary.
• “Two-in-one” tablets
contain deter-
gents and rinsing liquid or an agent serving
the function of the salt.
• “Three-in-one” tablets
contain
detergents and rinsing liquid as well as an
agent serving the function of the salt.
• “Four-in-one” “Five-in-one”
tablets...
also contain additives that pre-
vent wear on poor quality glasses or the risk
of stainless items corroding.
