Setting The Water Softener Level - Baumatic BDW17 Instruction Manual

o It is perfectly normal for a small amount of water to come out of
the salt container, whilst you are filling it with salt. This does not
mean that the container is filled with the correct amount of salt.
o Refit and fully tighten the salt container cap.
o The salt required warning light will go out approximately 2-6
hours after you have filled the salt container with salt. When the
salt required warning light comes on again, then you should
follow the filling with dishwasher salt procedure again.
o IMPORTANT: You do not need to pour 1 litre of water into
the container when you subsequently fill the water
softener with salt.

Setting the water softener level

It is possible to regulate the amount of salt that the water softener will
release during a wash cycle. The water softener should be set to a
level that is appropriate for the hardness of your water (please refer to
the table below).
To alter the amount of salt that is released by the water softener, you
should:-
o Remove the lower basket and unscrew the cap from the salt
container.
o Locate the ring with an arrow on it that is located on the salt
container. (See figure opposite).
o The "middle" selector position is halfway between the minus and
plus symbols.
o When you first receive your appliance, the arrow
will be pointing to the minus symbol. Using the
water hardness chart, you should turn the arrow
to the setting that is appropriate for your water
hardness.
