Adding Of Salt; Adjusting Of Salt Consumption - Currys Essentials CDW60W10 Instruction Manual

Adding of Salt

If the water in your area is hard, deposits will form on your dishes and
utensils. As such, this appliance contains a salt reservoir for you to reduce the
hardness of the water.
Please follow the steps below to pour the salt into the salt reservoir and to
correspond to the water hardness level in your area.
1. Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.
2. Fill the reservoir with approximately 500ml of water (first use only).
3. Place the funnel provided over the salt reservoir. Pour in approximately
1.2kg of dishwasher salt depending on the brand used.
4. Clean any excess salt from around the reservoir opening and then screw
the cap on again firmly.
5. Run the "Rapid" wash programme immediately (without any crockery in
the dishwasher) to remove any traces of salt from the compartment.
• The salt refill warning indicator on the control panel will
illuminate when the reservoir is running out of sale and requires
refilling.
• The salt refill warning indicator will cease to illuminate within a
few days, depending on how quickly the salt dissolves.
• If you select to use detergent tablet, you do not need to add
rinse aid into the rinse aid reservoir.

Adjusting of Salt Consumption

Salt consumption must be adjusted to correspond to the water hardness level in your area. If you don't know
how hard the water in your home is, please ask the company that supplies water in your area.
It is recommended that adjustments should be made in accordance with the following chart.
Water Hardness
°dh ˚fh
0-8 0-14
8-22 14-39
22-45 39-80
>45 >80
• 1 ˚dh (German degree) = 1.25mmol/l
• 1 ˚fh (French degree) = 0.178mmol/l
• 1 ˚Clark (British degree) = 1.78mmol/l
To optimise and customise the level of salt consumption, please follow the steps
below to adjust the salt consumption.
1. Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.
2. There is an arrow-shaped indicator in the reservoir, which allows you to turn.
You may turn it to the "-" or "+" settings based on the water hardness in your
area.
