USER INSTRUCTIONS
ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENER (see Fig. 1)
Correct adjustment ensures the optimum salt consumption and best washing results.
•
Check the water hardness in your area with the supply company or Local Authority.
•
If the hardness is above 7 deg. The adjustment can be found on the right hand side of the cavity
of the dishwasher (see table below).
NOTE: In time and with use, you may find the need to change the recommended settings.
ADDING REGENERATING SALT TO THE CONTAINER
Salt is essential for the regeneration of the resins that soften the water, it is not required if the water
is already sufficiently soft.
•
Slide the lower basket fully outwards.
•
Unscrew and remove the salt container cover.
•
Using the funnel supplied, fill the container with approximately 1 litre of water and then add
approximately 1.75 kilograms of regenerating salt, mixing thoroughly.
•
It is only necessary to add the water if the machine is being used for the first time, subsequently
it is only necessary to top up wiht salt.
•
Replace and tighten the container cover and remove any spillage from the cabinet.
•
When softening is not required, it is still important to fill the container with water when used
for the first time.
•
The need for salt is indicated through the top of the salt container cap, when salt is required the
circle will change colour.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Always add the salt just before starting the machine.
Do not put detergent in the salt container as this will
destroy the water softener.
