Parts and functions

Salt 

The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the 

shwasher,deposits will form on the dishes 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: 

- Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container; 

- If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with water; 

- Place the end of the funnel(supplied) into the hole and introduce about 2 kg of salt.It is 

normal for a small amount of water to come    out of the salt 

container. 

- Carefully screw the cap back on. 
The salt container must be filled when the "low salt" 
indicator light (located on the control panel) comes on.

To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before 

beginning a wash cycle.

Adjusting Salt Consumption 

The dishwasher is designed to allow for 
adjusting the amount of salt consumed based 

on the hardness of the 
water used. This is 
intened to optimize and 
customize 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:

- Unscrew the cap from the salt container; 
- There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see figure to the side), If necessary, 
rotate the ring in the anticlockwise

direction from the "-" setting towards the "+" sign, based 

on the hardness of the water being used. It is recommended that adjustments be made in 
accordance with the following scheme:
