Operation Operating the Dishwasher NOTICE • 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 filters. • 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. NOTICE • 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. 32 Operating the Dishwasher • Remove the lower rack from the machine. • Open the screw-in cap of the salt container by turning it counter- clockwise (Fig. A, B). • When operating for the first 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 fill the container. The container holds approximately 2 kg/4.4 pounds. • Close the cap tightly. CAUTION Begin any wash program immediately after filling the salt container. The washing program prevents damage to the machine which may be caused by any spilled salt solution. After the first washing cycle, the salt level indicator light will go out. 33 Operation
