Salt 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 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: - Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container; - If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with water; - 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 container. - Carefully screw the cap back on. Adjusting Salt Consumption The dishwasher is equipped with a system to adjust the level of salt consumption in function of the hardness of the water being used in order to optimize and customize the level of salt consumption while keeping it to a minimum. To adjust salt consumption level, follow these instructions: - Unscrew the cap on the salt container; - On the container there is an arrow (see figure to the side). If necessary, turn the arrow in the anti-clockwise direction from the "-" setting to the "+" setting based on the hardness of the water being used. - It is highly recommended that the table be consulted when making adjustments . Water Hardness The salt container should be filled after about every 30 wash cycles. To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before beginning a wash cycle.
