Please check the section 3 “Loading The Salt Into The Softener” of PART I: Generic Version, If your dishwasher lacks
salt.
If your model does not have any water softener, you may skip this section.
The water softener must be set manually, using the water hardness dial.
The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, which would have a detrimental or
adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.
The more minerals there are, the harder your water is.
The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can
advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjustment in the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the
water used. This is intended to optimise and customise the level o f salt consumption.

following sequence:

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 a salt container specifically designed to
eliminate lime and minerals from the water.
