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:

- Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container;

- If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with water;

- Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and intro duce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container.

- Carefully screw the cap back on.

Adjusting Salt Consumption

The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimise and customise the level of salt consumption so that it remains at a minimum. To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows:

The salt container must be filled when the "low salt" indicator light appears on the control panel.

To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before beginning a wash cycle.

- Unscrew the cap from the salt container;

- 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 hardness of the water being used. It is recommended that adjustments be made in accordance with the following scheme:
