Before Using your Dishwasher
Adjusting the water softener.
Water hardness varies according
to where you live. If the water in your
home is hard, without water soften-
ing, incrustations would form on your
dishes. Your dishwasher is fitted
with a water softener which uses
special salt to get rid of limescale in
the water.
Your dishwasher can adjust its salt
consumption according to the hard-
ness of the water in your home. This
way, you can optimise and custom-
ise your dishwasher's salt con-
sumption.
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.

You don't know how hard the
water in your home is? Ask
the company that supplies
water in your area.
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
“T” flashes on the control panel.
When you have loaded salt for the
first time, it is normal for the low salt
indicator light to stay on for at least 5
consecutive cycles.
Salt
IMPORTANT:
Only use recommended dishwasher
salt. DO NOT use everyday table
salt, cooking salt, as they containe
insoluable substances which could
harm the dishwasher.
WARNING:
DO NOT pour detergent into the
special salt container.
This will destroy the water softener.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
3 in 1 dishwasher tablets are now available. These combine detergent, salt
and rinse aid ALL IN ONE. If the water in your area is hard or very hard, we
still recommend you add salt to the salt container to prevent white streaks
on your dishes and in the dishwashers interior.
Add rinse aid to the dispenser, only if you are dissatisfied with the results.
In all cases, please read the manufacturers instructions on the packet.
If you are only using the 3 in 1 products, after a number of cycles it is normal
for the salt and rinse aid indicator lights to flash permanently.
