2.1
Using the water softening system
The dishwasher is equipped with an
automatic softening system which uses a
special regenerating salt to reduce the
hardness of the water, responsible for
whitish marks on dry dishes The
dishwasher is factory set for water
hardness level 3 (average hardness).
When using water of medium hardness, the salt container should be
refilled after approximately 20 wash cycles. The salt container can hold
approximately 1.5 kg of salt grains. Some models are equipped with a
cap with a no-salt optical indicator containing a green float which
descends as the salt concentration in the water drops. When the green
float can no longer be seen through the transparent cap, salt must be
added. The container is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. After
removing the lower basket, unscrew the salt container cap by turning it
anticlockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel supplied. Before
replacing the cap, remove any salt residues from around the opening.
•
When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it
is also necessary to add one litre of water to the container.
•
Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that the cap is
securely closed. The mixture of water and detergent must never
enter the salt container, as this would compromise the operation of
the regeneration system. In the event of this occurring, the warranty
will be invalidated.
•
Only use salt specially formulated for domestic dishwashers. If
using salt tablets, do not fill the container completely.
