Operating the Dishwasher
• If the water hardness level is less than 7 American odE or less than 8 French odF,
you do not need any special softening salt. In this case, the "salt" control indicator
lights up continually.
• If your local hardness level exceeds 47 American odE or 90 French odF , you
should consider getting a water softening device for your dishwasher. If you use
stream water or rainwater, you are advised to install fi lters.
• If the water hardness adjustment is set to level 1, the "salt" control indicator
illuminates continuously although it is not necessary to use salt. If you use salt
under this condition, salt will not be consumed and the lamp will not illuminate.
• If you move, do not forget to adjust the water hardness level to suit your new
neighborhood.
• If the model does not have a salt dispenser, ignore this changes. Water hardness
level must be in position 1.
Filling the Dishwasher Salt Dispenser
CAUTION
Never use culinary or table salt. These types of salt
do not dissolve in water easily and will damage the
function of the softening device.
• Remove the lower rack from the machine.
• Open the screw-in cap of the salt container by turning it counterclockwise (Fig. A, B).
• When operating for the fi rst time: Pour 1 liter of water into the salt container (Fig C).
• Pour the salt into the container with the aid of the supplied salt funnel (Fig. D). Pour in enough salt to fi ll the container. The
container holds approximately 2 kg/4.4 pounds.
• Close the cap tightly.
NOTICE
CAUTION
Begin any wash program immediately after fi lling the salt
container. The washing program prevents damage to the machine
which may be caused by any spilled salt solution.
After the fi rst washing cycle, the salt level indicator light will go
out.
• Only use special dishwasher salt in your machine to soften
the water.
• DO NOT use coarse-grained salt. Small grains or powdered
salt is more easily soluble.
• The manufacturer is not liable for damages resulting from
the use of the wrong type of salt.
