Adding Salt - Beko DIN48431 User Manual

PreparatIon
If the hardness level of the water that
you use is above 50°dH or if you are using
well water, than it is recommended to use
filter and water purification devices.If the
hardness level of the water that you use
is below 7°dH, there is no need to use salt
in your dishwasher. In this case, the Salt
Indicator light on the control panel of your
dishwasher will light continuously.
If the water hardness is set to level 1,
the Salt Indicator will light continuously
although it is not necessary to use salt. If
you use salt under this condition, salt will
not be consumed and the lamp will not
illuminate.
C
When moving, you will need
to set the water hardness
level of your dishwasher again
according to the information
above, depending on the water
hardness of the place you have
moved to.
If the water hardness level
of your machine is adjusted
previously, your machine
will display the most recent
hardness level adjustment.
C
Adjust the water softness
level according to the "Water
hardness level instruction"
supplied with your machine.

3. Add 1 litre of water to salt reservoir of
your machine only in initial use.
4. Add salt to the salt compartment. To
speed up dissolution rate of salt in
water, stir it with a spoon.
C
You can put about 2 kg of
softening salt into the salt
reservoir.
5. Replace the lid and tighten it when the
reservoir is full.
C
You need to add salt right before
starting the machine. Thus, the
overflowing salty water will be
flushed immediately, preventing
the risk of corrosion in machine.
In cases where you would not
start washing immediately,
run your machine empty in the
shortest program.
C
Since different salt brands in the
market have different particle
sizes and since the water
hardness may vary, dissolution
of the salt in water may take
a couple of hours. Therefore,
Salt Indicator remains on for a
while after adding salt into the
machine.
