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 intro-
duce 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.
Warning: To prevent rust from forming, we advise you
to load the salt before starting 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 customize
the level of salt consumption so that it remains at a mini-
mum.
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 an-
ticlockwise 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:

Warning:
All-in-one dishwasher tablets are now available on the market, and combine detergent, salt and rinse aid all in one.
If the water in your area is hard or very hard, we still recommend you pour extra salt into the relevant dispenser to
prevent the formation of white streaks on your dishes or on the interior of the appliance.
Using a three-in-one product means it is no longer necessary to put rinse aid into the relevant container.
If you want to achieve perfectly dry dishes, you may add rinse aid as long as the dosage adjuster is set to no.2.
In any case, please read the manufacturer's instructions on the packet.
Only use products which have been specifically
designed for dishwashers.
Do not use table salt or industrial salt, or washing
up liquid.
Follow the instructions given on the packaging.
