Using The Water Softener (On Models With This Feature Only) - Smeg CW 420 User Manual

5.2 Using the water softener (on models with this feature only)

The quantity of lime in the water (which indicates its hardness) causes whitish
marks on dry dishes and dishes also tend to lose their shine over time.
The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic water softener which removes the
substances that cause hardness from the water with the aid of regenerating salt.
The first time the dishwasher is used, a litre of water must be poured into the tank
with the salt.
Whenever the tank is filled, always take care to ensure that the cap is firmly
closed.
The mixture of water and detergent must not get into the salt tank, as this would
impair operation of the regeneration system.
In this case warranty cover will be forfeited.
Whenever the type of detergent or rinse aid is changed, it is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to flush out
the peristaltic pumps by placing the external intake pipes in water for a few cycles.
Always use only products specifically recommended for use in a dishwasher.
Failure to comply with this recommendation leads to forfeiture of the warranty entitlement on
the appliance's water system.
The internal pipes of the detergent and rinse aid pumps should be replaced by the After-Sales
Service every 12 months or 15,000 wash cycles and operation of the diaphragm can be disposed
of in accordance with the relevant regulationsrinse aid pump should be checked.
