•adjust the water softening system;
•add the regenerating salt;
5.1 Using the water softening system
The amount of scale contained in the water (water hardness index) can cause whit-
ish staining on the dry dishes, which tend to become dull over time. The dishwasher
is equipped with an automatic softening system which uses a special regenerat-
ing salt to reduce the hardness of the water. The dishwasher is factory set for water
hardness level 3 (average hardness 41-60°dF – 24-31°dH / 23.6-35 gpg). When us-
ing water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should be relled
after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt container can hold approximately
1.7 Kg (3.75 lb) of salt in grains. Some models are equipped with an optical no-salt
indicator. In these models, the cap of the salt container contains a green oat which
descends as the salt concentration in the water drops. When the green oat can no
longer be seen, the container must be topped up with regenerating salt. The con-
tainer is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. After removing the lower rack,
unscrew the salt container cap (ref. A g. 5-01) by turning it anticlockwise and pour
in the salt using the funnel (ref. A g. 5-02) supplied with the dishwasher. Before re-
placing the cap (ref. A g. 5-01), remove any salt residues from around the opening.
