Before Using your Dishwasher
Adjusting the water
softener.
Your dishwasher can adjust
its salt consumption accord-
ing to the hardness of the
water in your home. This
way, you can optimise and
customise your dishwasher's
salt consumption.
To adjust salt consumption,
do as follows:
1. Unscrew the salt container
cap
2. There is an arrow on the
neck of the container (see
figure): if necessary, turn
the arrow anti-clockwise
from the "-" setting to the
"+" setting.
Select the arrow position
depending on the water
hardness, referring to the
table.
To prevent rust
from forming, load
the salt just before
beginning a wash
cycle.
Filling the salt container.
Always use salt which is
intended for dishwasher use.
The salt container is situated
underneath the lower basket,
fill it up as follows:
1.Pull out the lower basket
completely, unscrew and
remove the container cap
2. If it is the first time you
add the salt, first fill the
container up with water
(you won't have to do this
again next time)
3. Put the dishwasher funnel
on the hole and pour in
approximately two kilos of
salt. It is normal that some
water comes out of the
container.
4. Screw the cap back in
place carefully.
When to add salt.
The salt container should be
filled up when the low salt
indicator light flashes on the
control panel. Your appliance
will remind you to do so for 5
consecutive wash cycles.

out of the salt dispenser is
removed.
