Salt
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 specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals
from the water.
Loading the Salt into the Softener
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located
beneath the lower rack and
should be filled as follows:
1. Remove the lower rack and
then unscrew and remove the
cap from the salt container;
2. If you are filling the container
for the first time, fill it with water;
3. Place the end of the funnel
(supplied) into the hole and in-
troduce about 2 kg of salt. It is
normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt
container.
4. Carefully screw the cap back on.
The salt container should be filled up when the low
salt indicator light "S" flashes.
Once you have loaded the salt for the first time, it is normal
that the low salt indicator light stays on or flashes for about
5 consecutive cycles.
Warning: To prevent rust from forming, we advise you to
load the salt before starting a wash cycle.

Adjusting Salt Consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount
of salt consumed based on the harness of the water used.
This is intended to optimize and cus-
tomize the level of salt consumption
so that it remains at a minimum.
Your Local Water Board can supply
the degree of hardness of the water
in your area.
To adjust salt consumption, proceed
as follows:
1) Unscrew the cap from the salt container.
2) There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see
figure to the side), if necessary, rotate the ring in the anti-
clockwise direction from the "_" setting towards the "+"
sign, based on the hardness of the water being used.
It is recommended that adjustments be made in accord-
ance with the following schema:
Hardness of the water
°dH °fH °mmol/l
0 - 10 0 - 17 0 - 1.7
10 – 25 18 – 44 1.8 – 4.4
25 – 50 45 – 89 4.5 – 8.9
> 50 > 89 > 8.9
