The Water Softener
Water contains varying amounts of lime and mineral
salts depending on the area where you live: these are
deposited on the dishes leaving white marks.
The higher the content of these salts, the harder your
water will be. The <hardness» level is measured on 2
equivalent scales: French Degrees or Clarke Degrees.
Contact your local Water Authority to find the exact
water hardness level for your area.
The dishwasher is equipped with a softener which
uses special dishwasher salt to provide lime-free (sof-
tened) water. The softener can treat water hardness
up to 90 french degrees via 5 adjustment levels.
Find on the table below the level corresponding to the
hardness of your water and the required adjustments:

* The water softener is factory set at level 2 as this
suits most users.
Level 1
If your water is «level 1» it is already soft and therefore
there is no need to use salt. In this case the salt light
Ss will remain on.
Levels 3 and 5 (water softener adjustment)
If your water is level 3 or 5, proceed as follows:
slide out the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the
salt container;
turn the two-position selector anticlockwise from po-
sition ™ to position + with the aid of a knife or a
screwdriver.
Levels 4 and 5 (adjustment on the machine)
If your water is level 4 or 5,
open the door and drill
membrane (A) on the up-
per left-hand corner of the
machine.
With a water hardness of level 5 both adjustments
must be made.
Important
Salt MUST be used regularly from level 2 upward.
Filling with Salt
Only use salt which is specifically designed for use in
dishwasher. Other types of salt i.e.: table/cooking salt
contain high percentages of other substances which
may reduce the efficiency of the water softener.
To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt container.
Pour about half a litre of water inside the container, or
until it is full (this is necessary only before filling with
salt for the first time).

Then, using the funnel pro-
vided, pour in the salt until
the container is full (approx.
1,5-1,8 kg). Do not worry if
water overflows from the
unit when filling with salt
this is quite normal.
Replace the cap making
f:}
sure that there is no trace
of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.
Screw the cap on tightly.
If you have inadvertently spilled salt select
a wash
programme immediately after.
When this has been done, all that is then required is to
periodically top up the container with salt. You are re-
minded of this by the Salt Empty Light Ss on the control
panel which will iluminate when the salt has finished.
sus
f
The salt container always has some water inside which
will normally overflow when refilling with salt.
Important: The Salt Light Ss on the control panel can
remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been re-
plenished,
assuming
the dishwasher
remains
switched on. If you are using salts that take a longer
time to dissolve then the light will remain illuminated
for a longer period of time. The functioning of the
dishwasher is not affected.
Caution: Only fill with salt just before starting one of
the complete washing programmes (not the Rinse and
Hold programme). This will prevent any grains of salt
or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining
on the bottom of the machine for any period of time.
This could cause corrosion.
