Using The Water Softener (On Models With This Feature Only) - Smeg UG405DSUK User Manual

Whenever the type of detergent or rinse aid is changed, it is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to flush out the peristaltic pumps by
placing the external intake pipes in water for a few cycles. Always use only products specifically recommended for use in a
professional dishwasher. Failure to comply with this recommendation leads to forfeiture of the warranty entitlement on the
appliance's water system. Replacement of the internal tube of the detergent and rinse aid peristaltic pumps is recommended
every 12 months or 15.000 wash cycles, by the After-Sales Service.

5.1 Using the water softener (on models with this feature only)

The quantity of lime in the water (which indicates its hardness) causes whitish marks on dry dishes and dishes
also tend to lose their shine over time. The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic water softener which
removes the substances that cause hardness from the water with the aid of regenerating salt.
The first time the dishwasher is used, a litre of water must be poured into the tank with the salt. Whenever the
tank is filled, always take care to ensure that the cap is firmly closed. The mixture of water and detergent must
not get into the salt tank, as this would impair operation of the regeneration system. In this case warranty
cover will be forfeited.
