The Waterblock System; Water Softener Unit - Candy CDI 5550 P Mode D'emploi

THE WATERBLOCK SYSTEM

The waterblock system has been designed to improve the safety of your appliance,
particularly when the machine is left unattended.
The waterblock system actually prevents flooding which might be caused by a
machine malfunction or as a result of a fracture on the pipes.
How does waterblock work
The sump located in the base of the appliance collects any possible water leakage
and operates a sensor which subsequently activates a valve placed under the water
tap and stops any water from the supply even with the tap fully opened. If the box
containing the electrical parts is damaged, remove the plug from the socket
immediately.
To ensure perfect operation of the safety system, box "A" with the hose, should be
connected to the tap as shown in figure "1". The inlet hose should not be cut, as it
contains parts under load. If the hose is not long enough for correct connection, it
must be replaced with a longer one. The hose can be obtained from your Service
Agent.
This dishwasher is also equipped with an anti-overflow safety device which, if water
exceeds normal levels due to malfunctions, automatically blocks water flow and/or
drains excess quantities.

WATER SOFTENER UNIT

Depending on the source of the supply,
water contains varying amounts of limestone
and minerals which are deposited on the
dishes leaving whitish stains and marks.
The higher the level of these minerals
present in the water, the harder the water is.
The dishwasher is fitted with a water
softener unit which, through the use of
special regenerating salt, supplies
softened water for washing the dishes.
The degree of hardness of your water can
be obtained from your water supply
company.
Regulating the water softener
with electronic programmer
The water softener can treat water with a
hardness level of up to 90°fH (French
grading) or 50°dH (German grading)
through 8 settings.
The settings are listed in the table below.
