Salt .......

Salt

The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If

hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on

the dishes and utensils.

The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses

a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals

from the water.

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:

1. Remove the lower rack

and then unscrew and

remove the cap from the

salt container;

2. If you are filling the

container for the first time,

fill it with water;

3. 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.

4. Carefully screw the cap back on.

The salt container should be filled after about every

30 wash cycles.

To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before

beginning a wash cycle.

Adjusting Salt Consumption

The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount

of salt consumed based on the

harness of the water used. This

is intended to optimize and cus-

tomize the level of salt con-

sumption so that it remains at a

minimum.

Your Local Water Board can

supply the degree of hardness

of the water

in your area.

To adjust salt consumption, pro-

ceed as follows:

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 in the anti-

clockwise direction from the "_" setting towards the "+"

sign, based on the hardness of the water being used.

It is recommended that adjustments be made in accord-

ance with the following schema:
