6.2. LOAD THE SALT INTO THE SOFTENER
Note: If your model has no water softener, you may skip this section.
Water softener
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 salts specifically designed
to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.
The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as
explained in this section.
WARNING
Only use salt specifically designed for dishwashers use!
•
Every other type of salt not specifically designed for dishwasher use, especially
table salt, will damage the water softener. In case of damages caused by the use
of unsuitable salt the manufacturer does not give any warranty nor is liable for any
damages caused.
• Only fill with salt just before running a cycle.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled,
remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause
corrosion.
Follow the steps below to add dishwasher salt:
1. Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap. See figure 1.
2. If you are filling the container for the first time, fill 2/3 of its volume with water
(around 500ml). See figure 2.
