Adding Salt; Detergent - Beko LDF42320G User Manual

Adding salt

Water softening system needs to be
regenerated in order for the product
to operate with the same performance
continuously. Dishwasher salt is used for
this purpose.
Use only special softening salts
produced particularly for the
dishwashers in your machine.
It is recommended to use granule- or
powder-formed softening salts in the
water softening system. Do not use
salts that do not completely dissolve
in water such as table salt or rock
salt. Otherwise the performance of the
system may deteriorate in time.
Salt reservoir will be filled with water
when you start the product. For this
reason, add salt before operating the
machine.
1. Firstly, take the lower basket out to add
softening salt.
2. Turn the salt reservoir lid counter-
clockwise to open it (A).
3. Add 1 liter of water to salt reservoir of
your machine only in initial use.
4. Fill the salt reservoir with salt by
using the salt funnel (D). To speed up
dissolution rate of salt in water, stir it
with a spoon.
18/EN
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.
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 programme.
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.

Detergent

You can use powder, liquid/gel or tablet
detergents in the machine.
Only use detergents produced particularly
for use with dishwashers. Note that
detergents that contain chlorine and
phosphate can be harmful for the
environment. Liquid detergents without
chlorine may not remove tea and coffee
stains from cups.
Adding detergent
Pay attention to the warnings on the
detergent packaging to get better
washing and drying results. Contact the
manufacturer of the detergent for further
questions.
