Loading the salt
The dishwasher is fitted with a softener which
clears the water of lime which could cause scale
and damage the dishwasher.
On the bottom of the machine there is a container
for the salt for regenerating the softener.
The filter medium of the softening plant must be
reactivated with dishwasher water softener
regenerating salt.
Other types of salt contain small quantities of
insoluble particles which over a long period of
time may affect and deteriorate the softener
performance.
To add salt, unscrew the cap of the container on
the bottom and then refill the container.
During this operation a little water will overflow; but keep adding salt until the container
is full. When the container is full, clean the thread of salt residue and retighten the
tap.
If the dishwasher is not required straightaway, set the Prewash programme so that
the salt solution which has overflowed is discharged from the washing tank.
The salt dispenser has a capacity of between 1.5 and 1.8 kg and, for efficient use of
the appliance, it should be refilled from time to time according to the regulation of the
water softener unit.
Important: it is necessary to add water until the container overflows. Only
install the dishwasher after completely filling the salt container.
Salt loading indicator
Some models are provided with an indicator light
which signals salt consumption. The signal will
appear according to one of two systems:
– an indicator light on the control panel which
will light up when it is necessary to reload the
salt container;
– the salt container cap with a green mobile light
which remains visible as long as there is
enough salt for regeneration purposes. When
the green surface is depressed inside the cap,
more salt must be loaded.
Other models are provided with a blind cap. In this case, the salt level must be
checked periodically, according to the regulation of the water softener unit.
Important: the appearance of white stains on dishes is generally an important sign
that the salt container needs filling.
