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

saline solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged presence of salt
water inside the tank may lead to
corrosion

use salt or rinse agent but please note that the refill salt indicator light
will remain
