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, Clarke degrees, 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.

Use of dishwasher salt
WARNING!
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.
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.
