Salt
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the shwasher,deposits will form on the
dishes 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 introduce 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.
The salt container must be filled when the "low salt" indicator light (located on the control panel) comes on.
To prevent the formation of rust,load the salt just before beginning a wash cycle.

used. This is intended to optimize and customize the level of salt consumption so that it remains at a minimum.
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 necessary, rotate the ring in the
anticlockwise direction from the "-" setting towards the "+" sign,based on the hardness of the water being used.
