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.

Use of dishwasher salt

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.
The salt container will require topping up periodically. You are reminded of this by a displayed message REFILL SALT. This occurs only at the start and at the end of the washing programme; during the
running of the programme the indication for salt refilling is not active.
The refilling salt message can remain visible for 2-6 hours after the salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The function of the machine is not affected.
