The water supply hose must not, under any circumstances, be cut, as it contains electrical parts which are live.
If the length of the hose is not adequate to make a proper connection, the hose must be replaced with one which
is long enough. This hose is available upon request from specialised retailers and service center.

Drain hose co nnect ion

Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4cm , or let it run into the sink, making
sure to avoid bending or crimping it. If necessary, fit a syphon trap (U-bend) with a connecting piece for
the drain hos e ( f ig .C). T h e free end of the ho s e must be at a height between 40 an d 100 cm and must not
be immersed in water.

How to fill the salt

en

Salt

The hardness of the water varies f rom place to plac e. If hard water is use d in the dishw asher , 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 container

Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:

When the low salt indicator “1” lights, you must fill t he s alt.
Remove the lo wer r ac k and t hen uns c r ew and r emove 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) in to the hole and intr oduce
about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water to
come out of the salt container.

1

Carefully screw the cap back on.

Important

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

Adjusting salt consumption

The dishwasher is designed t o allow for adjust ing t he am ou nt of salt consumed based on the hardness of
the water us ed. T h is is int e nded to optim iz e an d c us t om iz e the level of s alt c ons um pt ion s o t hat it re­mains at a mini mum.
To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows:

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 necessar y , rotate the ring in an ant ic loc kw ise di rection f r om the
"-" setting towards t he "+" s ign, based on the hardnes s of the
water being used.

It is recommended that adjustments be made in accordance with the following table:
