A� Water Softener
The water softener must be set manually, using the water hardness dial.
The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, which would have a detrimental or adverse
effect on the operation of the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the harder your water is.
The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can
advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.

Adjusting Salt Consumption

The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjustment in the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water
used. This is intended to optimise and customise the level o f salt consumption.

WATER SOFTENER
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the
dishes and utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt container specifi cally designed to eliminate lime and
minerals from the water.
