Salt
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard
water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes
and utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt
specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.
Loading the Salt into the Softener
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should
be filled as follows:
- Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove the cap
from the salt container;
- If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with water;
- Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and intro-
duce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water
to come out of the salt container.
- Carefully screw the cap back on.
The salt container should be filled after about every 30 wash cycles.
To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before begin-
ning a wash cycle.
Adjusting Salt Consumption
The dishwasher is equipped with a system to adjust the level of
salt consumption in function of the hardness of the water being
used in order to optimize and customize the level of salt con-
sumption while keeping it to a minimum.
To adjust the salt consumption level, follow these instructions:
- Unscrew the cap on the salt container;
- On the neck of the container there is an arrow (see figure to the
side).
- If necessary, turn the arrow in the anti-clockwise direc-
tion from the "-" setting to the "+" setting based on the hard-
ness of the water being used.
It is highly recommended that the table be consulted when
making adjustments .
