The water softener
The water softener removes minerals from the water
supply, which would have a detrimental effect on the
washing results and on the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals, the harder
your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent
scales.
The water 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. It is important to set the right level of the
water softener to assure good washing results.

Before first use
1. Make sure that the current level of the water
softener agrees with the hardness of the water
supply. If not, adjust the level of the water
softener.
2. Fill the salt container.
3. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
4. Open the water tap.
5. Start a programme to remove any processing
residuals that can still be inside the appliance. Do
not use detergent and do not load the baskets.
After starting a programme, it may take up to 5 minutes
for the appliance to recharge the resin in the water
softener. It seems that the appliance is not working. The
washing phase starts only after this procedure is
completed. The procedure is repeated periodically.
The salt container
Caution! Use rough salt designed for
dishwashers only. Fine salt increases the
risk of corrosion.
The salt is used to recharge the resin in the water
softener and to assure good washing results in daily
use.
