6. How to fill the salt
6-1.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.
6-2.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:
According to the “Water Hardness Tabel”, you can calculate
the time of use, then load 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.
6-3.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 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 "-" 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 table:
Important：
To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before beginning a wash cycle.
