HOW TO FILL THE SALT CONTAINER
To ensure the dishwasher works at its best, soft
water, i.e. water that is lime-free, is required. The
presence of lime in tap water causes water stains
due to calcium deposits on crockery and glasses.
A water softening system has been built in the
dishwasher to ensure a steady supply of soft
water. This is basically a decalcifying system,
which needs to be regenerated regularly using
special dishwasher salt.
Setting the correct water hardness level:
Set the water hardness level by turning the
selector fitted on the left-hand side of the inner
appliance wall by using a coin. Use the table
below to set the dial to the correct setting:

10 - 60 - 110

If the water hardness level falls within category 1
(soft), no salt is required.
