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.

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.
Salt
IMPORTANT:
Only use recommend dishwasher
salt DO NOT use everyday table
salt, cooking salt as they contain
insoluble substances which could
harm your 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.
