Caple Di614 - Manual (Page 6)

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
The water softener must be set manually, using the water hardness dial.
The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, which would have
a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance. The higher the
content of these minerals and salts, the harder your water is. The softener should be
adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority
can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.
Adjusting Salt Consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjustment in the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of
the water used. This is intended to optimise and customise the level o f salt consumption.
1. Unscrew the cap from the salt container.
2. There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see figure
on the side), if necessary, rotate the ring in the anticlockwise
direction from the "-" Setting toward the "+" sign, based on the
hardness of the water being used.
It is recommended that adjustments should be made in
accordance with the following scheme:
WATER SOFTENER
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 container specifically designed to eliminate
lime and minerals from the water.
Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.
