User instructions 4.2 Adding the salt 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. SALT When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles.
User instructions In order for the water softening system to give fault-free service, the appliance performs a regeneration cycle of the system at regular intervals. The regeneration process consists of several stages. It starts at the end of the last rinse cycle, after the amount of water indicated in the mains water hardness setting has been reached during the wash cycle, and finishes at the beginning of the following wash cycle.
User instructions 4.3 Adding the rinse aid The detergent and rinse aid dispensers are situated on the inner part of the door: the detergent dispenser is on the left, and the rinse aid dispenser is on the right.
