Loading the salt
■ On the bottom of the machine there is a
container for the salt for regenerating
the softener.

specifically designed for dishwasher.
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 con-
tainer on the bottom and then refill the
container.
■ During this operation a little water will
overflow; but keep adding salt until the
container is full. When the container is
full, clean the thread of salt residue and

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.
Regulating the water softener
with electronic programmer
The softener unit can treat water with a
hardness of up to 90°fH (French grading)
or 50°dH (German grading) through six
different settings.
The table below lists different degrees of
water hardness with the corresponding
setting for the softener unit.
*The water softener unit is set in the
factory at level 3 (Indicator light 3), as
this is suitable for the majority of users.
