Water softener
In order to rinse dishes and glasses satisfactorily, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e. containing little or no lime,
otherwise water stains will be left behind on crockery and
glasses,etc.
If the tap water exceeds a certain level of hardness, it must
be softened,i.e. decalcified, so that it can be used in the
dishwasher.
This is achieved by adding a special salt to the water softener inside the dishwasher.
The water softener, that has the required amount of salt, is
set up according to how hard the tap water is.
Setting up the water softener
- Determine the level of hardness of your tap water. Your
local water company or service agent can help you with
this.
- An arrow can be found on the ring of salt contaiter. The arrow
is initially set at "-".
- When necessary , rotate the ring anti-clockwise from"-" to "+"
in accordance to the hardness of water.
Filling the special salt container
How the salt works
While washing is taking place, salt is automatically rinsed out
of the salt container into the water softener where it dissolves
the lime in the water.
The dissolved lime is pumped out of the dishwasher. The water soltening system is then ready for the next load.
This process of regeneration can only function when the salt is
dissolved in water. Unscrew the lid on the salt container 6 .
Before you use the dishwasher for the first time, pour approx.
1 litre of water into the salt container.
Place the funnel supplied with the dishwasher in the filler hole.
Tip in enough salt to fill the container to the top (maximum of
1.5kg). As you tip in salt, some of the water is displaced and
drains away. When you have done this, clean off any remnants of salt from the area aroud the neck of the container.
Screw the lid back onto the container, ensuring that it is not
cross-threaded.
The Low Salt indicator 3 on the front panel will light up initially
but will extinguish again after a short period when the salt solution has become sufficiently concentrated.
Warning
Do not pour detergent into the container for special
salt. This would destroy the water softener.
LOW SALT Indicator
Add more salt as soon as the LOW SALT Indicator 3 on the
front panel lights up.
