Programación de la lavadora de platos Sistema de ablandamiento de agua Su lavadora de platos requiere agua blanda para asegurar los resultados apropiados de lavado y está equipada con un sistema de ablandamiento de agua interno. No obstante, si usted cuenta con un sistema de ablandamiento de agua doméstico, no necesitará utilizar el sistema interno proporcionado. A fin de que el sistema de ablandamiento de agua funcione en forma adecuada, deberá usar sal ablandadora de agua para lavadoras de platos. La cantidad de sal dispensada puede programarse desde "H:00" hasta "H:07". No se requiere sal en H:00 (esta es la programación preconfigurada de fábrica consulte la tabla a la derecha). La cantidad requerida de sal depende del nivel de dureza del agua corriente de su hogar (Tabla 1). 1 Abra la puerta y encienda la unidad presionando [ON/OFF]. 2 Mantenga presionado "A" y presione [START] (Inicio) y manténgalo presionado hasta que la pan- talla indique "H:00". 3 Suelte ambos botones. 4 Presione "C" para seleccionar la programación deseada. 5 Guarde la programación seleccionada presionando [START] (Inicio) y cierre la puerta. Using the water hardness test strip Hard Water and your Dishwasher Your water hardness level directly impacts your dishwasher's performance. Hard water will increase spotting and reduce detergent performance. Some dishwasher models are equipped with a water softener that uses a special salt to adjust the water hardness to obtain optimal performance. The dishwasher salt is added to the salt chamber located under the lower dishwasher rack. The amount of salt that is dispensed is based on your home water hardness. The home water hardness can be determined by using the water hardness test strip included in your manual set (or from your local hardware store). The dishwasher water softener setting must be adjusted to match your water hardness. Instructions for use of included "Water Hardness Test Strip" ‡ Only use salt designed for automatic dishwashers. Never use household water softener salt or table salt. ‡ Follow the instructions below for the included test strip (If purchasing a different test strip, follow manufacturers instructions).
