Salt
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If
hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on
the 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.
Loading the Salt into the Softener
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and
should be filled as follows:
1. Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove
the cap from the salt container;
2. If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with
water;
3. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and
introduce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount
of water to come out of the salt container.
4. Carefully screw the cap back on.
The salt container must be filled when the "low salt"
indicator light (located on the control panel) comes
on.
Warning:
To prevent rust from forming, we advise you to
load the salt
before
starting a wash cycle.
Adjusting Salt Consumption
The dishwasher is designed to
allow for adjusting the amount
of salt consumed based on the
harness of the water used. This
is intended to optimize and cus-
tomize the level of salt consump-
tion so that it remains at a mini-
mum.
Your Local Water Board can
supply the degree of hardness of
the water
in your area.
To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows:
1) Unscrew the cap from the salt container.
2) There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see
figure to the side), if necessary, rotate the ring in the anti-
clockwise direction from the
"_"
setting towards the "
+
"
sign, based on the hardness of the water being used.
It is recommended that adjustments be made in accord-
ance with the following schema:
