HOW TO FILL THE SALT CONTAINER
From a water hardness category of 1–2 (medium), before using the
dishwasher, fill the salt container with regeneration salt (to find out the
hardness level of water in your area, contact your local Water Board or
check the last bill you received).
If the water hardness level does not correspond to position 3 (factory
setting) or if the water hardness level changes:
Set the water hardness level (for dishwashers without water
hardness sensor only):
Setting must be carried out according to the following table.
•
Switch on the appliance (consult the quick reference guide).
•
Select programme 2 (consult the programme chart in the quick
reference guide).
•
Press the Start button for at least 5 seconds until the Start indicator lamp
blinks.
•
The "Start indicator lamp" blinks or the digital display lights up according to
the water hardness level selected (chart, setting - blinking frequency or
digital display).
•
With each successive touch of the Start button the setting increases and
when it reaches 7 it returns to 1 again.
•
Switch off the appliance (consult the quick reference guide).
The selected setting is now memorized.

How to fill the salt container
Warning: Only use regeneration salts for use in domestic dishwashers!
Do not fill the salt container with unsuitable substances, such as detergent,
as this will cause irreparable damage to the water softener system.
1. Remove the lower rack.
2. Unscrew the cap by turning it counter-clockwise.
3. When first using the dishwasher: fill the salt container to the rim with water.
4. Fill the salt container to the rim with salt (using the filler provided)
(when filling for the first time use min. 1.5 kg and max. 2 kg) and stir
with a spoon handle.
5. Screw the cap back on by turning it clockwise.
6. Fit the lower rack.
7. If regeneration salt is to be added, immediately start a wash
programme (rinsing alone is not sufficient) in order to eliminate any
residual saline solution straight away and avoid corrosion.
Salt level indicator
The dishwasher is equipped with an electric or visual salt level indicator
(depending on the model installed).
Electric indicator
The salt level indicator lamp on the control panel lights up when the salt
container is empty.
Visual indicator
The float is clearly visible in the cap window when the salt container is full.
The float lowers and is no longer visible when the salt container is empty.
