Water Softener - Silhouette Instruction Manual

WATER SOFTENER

There are two ways to reduce water hardness: one way is using a water softener, the other is using
detergent.
If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes and utensils. Your dishwasher is equipped with a
special softener that uses a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water and prevent these
formations of deposits from occuring in hard water conditions.
* The hardness of the water varies from one location to another. Contact your local water board for information
on the hardness of your water supply.
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:
Note:
1. The salt container must be refilled when the salt warning light comes on. Afterwards, even though the salt
container is full the indicator light may not turn off until the salt fully dissolves.
2. Remove any spillage of crystals from the inside of the dishwasher tub before starting the dishwasher.
Adjusting Salt Consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the
water used. This is intended to optimize and customize the level of salt consumption.

2. If you are filling the container for the first time, fill 2/3 of its volume
with water.
3. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce

1. Unscrew the cap from the salt container.
2. There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see figure to the side), if
necessary, rotate the ring counter-clockwise from the minus "
the plus "+" symbol, based on the hardness of the water being used. It is recom-
mended that adjustments be made in accordance with the following chart;
