USING THE WATER SOFTENER

The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the
dishwasher, deposits will be formed on the utensils. This appliance is equipped with a
water softener which uses a salt specifically designed to eliminate the minerals from the
water.
CAUTION:
Only use salt specially formulated for domestic dishwashers.
Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which may damage the water
softening system.
Fill the salt container before starting the washing programme. In this way, the excess
saline solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged presence of salt
water inside the tank may lead to corrosion.
If you plan to use dishwasher tablets for your washing needs, then you do not require to
use salt or rinse agent.
Filling with salt
Unscrew the cap from the salt container.
Place the supplied funnel so the end fits into the opening of the salt container. Load
about 1.5 kg of salt into the salt container.
Screw the cap back clockwise.
NOTE: The salt container must only be refilled when the salt indicator light
illuminates. Depending on how fully the salt dissolves, the salt indicator light may
still be on even though the salt container is filled.
