Before Using your Dishwasher
Water hardness varies according
to where you live. If the water in
your home is hard, without water
softening, 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.
Adjusting the water softener.
Your dishwasher can adjust its salt
consumption according to the hard-
ness 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.

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
“S” flashes.
The dishwasher will remind you to
do so for five consecutive wash
cycles.
