Salt
The hardness of water varies from place to place. If hard water
is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes
and utensils.
The dishwasher is equipped with a special softener that uses
a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals
from the water.
Please contact your local water authority to confirm the
hardness level of your water.
Adjusting Salt Consumption
The dishwasher is designed to adjust 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 so that it remains at a minimum.
To adjust salt consumption:
1.
With the dishwasher switched off press and hold the
program selection button (Fig.2-3).
2.
Press the On/Off button (Fig.2-4). Keep the program
selection button pressed until ‘SL’ disappears from the
program display.
3.
The display will indicate the water hardness setting;
the dishwasher is supplied set to level 3. The hardness
level can be adjusted by pressing the program selection
button (Fig.2-3).
We recommend that the hardness level is set in accordance
with Table 2-1.
To save the setting press the On/Off button.
Loading the Salt into the Container
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and
should be filled as follows:
4.
When the low salt indicator (Fig.2-5) lights, you must
fill the salt container. Remove the lower rack and then
unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container.
Note: If you are filling the container for the first time, fill
it with water.
5.
Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole
and introduce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small
amount of water to come out of the salt container.
6.
Carefully screw the cap back on.
IMPORTANT: To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt
just before beginning a wash cycle.
