Before Using your Dishwasher
Adjusting the water
softener.
Water hardness varies ac-
cording to where you live. If
the water in your home is
hard, without water soften-
ing, incrustations would form
on your dishes. Your dish-
washer 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 accord-
ing to the hardness of the
water in your home. This way,
you can optimise and cus-
tomise 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.
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 “

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 consecu-
tive cycles.
