Loading the salt
The dishwasher is fitted with a softener which
clears the water of lime which could cause scale
and damage the dishwasher.
On the bottom of the machine there is a container
for the salt for regenerating the softener.
The filter medium of the softening plant must be
reactivated with dishwasher water softener
regenerating salt.
Other types of salt contain small quantities of
insoluble particles which over a long period of
time may affect and deteriorate the softener
performance.
To add salt, unscrew the cap of the container on
the bottom and then refill the container.
During this operation a little water will overflow; but keep adding salt until the contai-
ner is full. When the container is full, clean the thread of salt residue and retighten
the tap.
If it is not necessary to wash immediately, set the Prewash programme so that the
salt solution which has overflowed is discharged from the washing tank.
The salt dispenser has a capacity of between 1.5 and 1.8 kg and, for efficient use of
the appliance, it should be refilled from time to time according to the regulation of the
water softener unit.
Salt loading indicator
This model is provided with an indicator light on the control panel which will light
up when it is necessary to reload the salt container.
Important:
the appearance of white stains on dishes is generally an important sign
that the salt container needs filling.

Regulating the water softener
with electronic programmer
The water softener can treat water with a hardness level of up to 90°fH (French gra-
ding) or 50°dH (German grading) through 6 settings.
The settings, are listed in the panel below:
The softener unit is set in the factory at level 3 (Indicator light N.3) as this satisfies
the requirements of the majority of users. Regulate the setting of your water softener
unit according to the degree of hardness of your water as follows: open the door,
keep button “E” pressed in for a few seconds and at the same time press the On/Off
button .
The indicator light of button “E” will start flashing and indicator light N.3 (the factory
setting) will come on. To change the setting, press button “E”. Each time you press
that button, the next indicator light will come on. When the required indicator light
comes on, wait for the audible signal to confirm that the new setting has been stored
in memory.
Water softener unit
Depending on the source of the supply, water contains varying amounts of limestone
and minerals which are deposited on the dishes leaving whitish stains and marks.
The higher the level of these minerals present in the water, the harder the water is.
The dishwasher is fitted with a water softener unit which, through the use of special
regenerating salt, supplies softened water for washing the dishes.
The degree of hardness of your water can be obtained from your water supply
company.
