WATER SOFTENER
The water softener must be set manually, using the water hardness dial.
The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, which could have a detrimental
or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance. The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the
harder your water is. The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area.
Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.
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 the level of salt consumption. To set the
salt consumption, proceed as below:

WATER SOFTENER
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the
dishwasher, deposits may form on 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.
