Operating instructions Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as follows: · · · Adjust the water softening system; Add the regenerating salt; Add the rinse aid and detergent. 4. 1 Using the water softening system The amount of scale contained in the water (water hardness index) can cause whitish 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 regenerating 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). SALT When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt container can hold approximately 1. 7 Kg of salt in grains. The container is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher.
