Water softener

To achieve good cleaning results, thedishwasher needs soft water. Hard

water results in calcium deposits ondishware and in the dishwasher.If your tap water hardness is above8 gr/gal (140 ppm), the water should besoftened. This takes place automati-cally in the unit's integrated watersoftener.

- Your local water authority wil! be ableto advise you of the water hardnesslevel in your area.

- The water softener must be filled withdishwasher salt for reactivation.

If your water hardness is lower than8 gr/gal (140 ppm), you do not need toadd dishwasher salt.

If there is a fault, it will help the servicetechnician to know the hardness of yourlocal water supply.

[] Enter the water hardness below:

[] Clean any excess salt from thethreads of the reservoir opening.

[] Screw the cap on firmly.

[] If the dishwasher will not be used im-

mediately, run the "Rinse & Hold" pro-gram. This will remove any traces ofsalt from inside the wash cabinet.

Using "Top Solo" will save water andenergy.

This program is recommended whenthere is only a small load to clean. "TopSolo" can be selected with all pro-grams.

With this feature, water is directed onlyto the top and middle spray arms. Thismeans that the water jets are onlyaimed at items in the upper basket andthe cutlery tray.

The middle spray arm also directswater downwards, so lightly soiledplates or platters can be placed in thelower basket.

When using this program, do not placebowls or other hollow containers in thelower basket.

Because a smaller load is beingwashed the amount of detergent usedcan be reduced to 1 1/4tablespoons(20 ml).
