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 should be filled after about every 30 wash
cycles.
To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before
beginning 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 customize the level
of salt consumption so that it re-
mains at a minimum.
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 anticlockwise direction from
the "_" setting towards the "+" sign, based on the hard-
ness of the water being used.
It is recommended that adjustments be made in accordance
with the following schema:
