How to fill the salt container and the rinse aid dispenser
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 container
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:
When the low salt indicator “1” lights, you must fill the salt.
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"
(located on the control panel) lights.
T
o prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before
beginning a wash cycle.
Adjusting salt consumption
T
he dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount
of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used.
This is intended to optimize and customize the level of salt
consumption so that it remains at a minimum.
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 an anticlockwise direction
from the "

"
sign, based on the
hardness of the water being used.
