Set the water softener

The dishwasher is equipped with a water
softener designed to remove minerals
and salts from the water supply, which
would have a detrimental or adverse ef­fect on the operation of the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals
and salts, the harder your water is. Water
hardness is measured in equivalent
scales, German degrees (dH°), French
degrees (°TH) and mmol/l (millimol per
litre - international unit for the hardness
of water).

The softener should be adjusted accord­ing to the hardness of the water in your
area. Your local Water Authority can ad­vise you on the hardness of the water in
your area.

The water softener must be set in
two ways: manually, using the water
hardness dial and electronically.

Use of dishwasher salt

Only use salt specifically designed for
use in dishwashers. All other types of salt
not specifically designed for use in a
dishwasher, especially table salt, will
damage the water softener. Only fill with
salt just before starting one of the com­plete washing programmes. This will
prevent any grains of salt or salty water,
which may have been spilt, remaining on
the bottom of the machine for any period
of time, which may cause corrosion.

To fill:

1. Open the door, remove the lower
basket and unscrew the cap of the
salt container by turning it anticlock­wise.

2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the
container (this is necessary only

before filling with salt for the first
time) .

3. Using the funnel provided, pour in
the salt until the container is full.

5. To memorise the operation, switch
off the dishwasher by pressing the
On/Off button.

4. Replace the cap making sure that
there is no trace of salt on the screw
thread or on the gasket.

5. Replace the cap tightly turning it
clockwise until it stops with a click.

Do not worry if water overflows from
the unit when filling with salt, this is
quite normal.
