Water in your home
Water hardness varies according to where you live. If the water in your home is hard,
without water softening, incrustations would form on your dishes. Your dishwasher
is fitted with a water softener which uses special salt to get rid of limescale in the water.
Loading the salt.
Always use salt which is
intended for dishwasher use.
The salt container is situated
underneath the lower rack,
fill it up as follows:
1.Pull out the lower rack
completely, unscrew and
remove the container cap
2. Is it the first time you load
the salt? First fill the
container up with water
(you won't have to do this
again next time)
3. Put the dishwasher funnel
on the hole and pour in
approximately two kilos
of salt. It is normal that
some water comes out of
the container.
4. Screw the cap back in
place carefully.
Suggestions and advice for you.
How to look after and protect
the dishes you hold dear
I Almost all silverware can be
cleaned in a dishwasher.
There are two exceptions: old
silverware and silverware
decorated with an oxidising
agent. Hot water can loosen
the handles on old silverware
ad wear off the decorations on
the other.
Never let silverware come into
contact with other metals: you
will thus avoid stains and
blackening
Apart from making
you save time and
energy, your
dishwasher
disinfects your
dishes, washing
them at a high
temperature.

Never without salt
When should I load the salt?
The salt container should be
filled up when the low salt
indicator light "S" flashes.
Once you have loaded the
salt for the first time, it is
normal that the low salt
indicator light stays on or
flashes for about 5 consecu-
tive cycles.
Salt adjustment
Your dishwasher can adjust
its salt consumption accord-
ing to the hardness of the
water in your home. This
way, you can optimise and
customise your dishwash-
er's salt consumption (not too
much, nor too little).
To adjust salt consumption,
do as follows:
1. Unscrew the salt container
cap
2. There is an arrow on the
neck of the container (see
figure): if necessary, turn
the arrow anti-clockwise
from the "-" setting to the
"+" setting.
I Silver plates and serving dishes
should be washed immediately
after use, especially if they have
contained salt, eggs, olives,
mustard, vinegar, fruit juices
and cooked vegetables.
I For particularly delicate dishes,
we recommend you use the
specific wash cycle offered by
your dishwasher.
Select the arrow position
depending on the water
hardness, referring to the
table provided.
Selector
Hardness of the water
position
°dH °fH °mmol/l
0 - 10 0 - 17 0 - 1.7
10 – 25 18 – 44 1.8 – 4.4
25 – 50 45 – 89 4.5 – 8.9
> 50 > 89 > 8.9
Only use products which have been specifically
designed for dishwashers.
Do not use table salt or industrial salt, or washing up
liquid.
When necessary, measure out the salt before a
wash cycle so that any saline solution which has
leaked out of the salt dispenser is removed.
Savings are easy
Using your electric household appliances
wisely helps you make savings and is
good for the environment.
Maximum load.
To optimise consumption levels, try to use the
dishwasher with a full load only. If it takes
quite some time to fill up your dishwasher,
use the soak cycle to avoid the formation of
bad odours and caked-on food.
The right wash cycle.
Select the most suitable wash cycle for the
type of load you have placed in the dishwasher.
The choice of wash cycle depends on the type
of dishes to wash and on how dirty they are.
To select the right wash cycle, please consult
the wash cycle table on page 6.
