Using the water softening system

The amount of scale contained in the water (water hardness index) can cause

whitish staining on the dry dishes, which tend to become dull over time. The dish-

washer is equipped with an automatic softening system which uses a special re-

generating salt to reduce the hardness of the water. The dishwasher is factory set

for water hardness level 3 (average hardness 41-60°dF – 24-31°dH / 23.6-35 gpg).

When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should

be refi lled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt container can hold ap-

proximately 1.7 Kg (3.75 lb) of salt in grains. Some models are equipped with an

optical no-salt indicator. In these models, the cap of the salt container contains

a green fl oat which descends as the salt concentration in the water drops. When

the green fl oat can no longer be seen, the container must be topped up with

regenerating salt. The container is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. After

removing the lower rack, unscrew the salt container cap (ref. A fi g. 4-01) by turn-

ing it anticlockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel (ref. A fi g. 4-02) supplied

with the dishwasher. Before replacing the cap (ref. A fi g. 4-01), remove any salt

residues from around the opening.
