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. Adjustment of the upper basket If 27 cm to 31 cm plates are normally used, load them onto the lower basket after the upper basket has been placed in its upper position and proceed as detailed below: 1) Turn the front stops A outwards. Dishes that are bigger than 20 cm in diameter can no longer be loaded onto the upper basket and the mobile supports cannot be used when the basket is in the upper position. Salt loading indicator This model is provided with an indicator light on the control panel which will light up when it is necessary to reload the salt container. 2) A = soup plates B = dinner plates C = dessert plates D = saucers E = cups F = glasses with stems G = glasses H = single section cutlery basket H 3 D F AG Lower basket (Fig. The limestone content of the water considerably affects the formation of limescale and the drying performance. It is therefore important to regulate the quantity of rinse aid to achieve good washing results. If, after the wash, streaks occur on the dishes, decrease the amount by one position. If whitish spots occur, increase the amount by one position. 17 Cleaning the filters Practical hints The filter system (fig. A "4") consists of: a central container that traps the larger particles. a flat gauze that continuously filters the wash water a micro filter, located beneath the gauze, that traps the tiniest particles ensuring a perfect rinse. To achieve excellent results every time, the filters should be checked and cleaned after each wash. Remove the gauze filter (fig. 3) and wash the whole unit under a jet of water. With the Self-cleaning Micro filter, maintenance is reduced and the filter unit need only be checked every two weeks. Nevertheless, after each wash it is advisable to check that the central container and the gauze filter are not clogged. NB: after cleaning the filters, make sure that they are correctly reassembled and that the gauze filter is properly positioned at the bottom of the dishwasher. Make sure that the filter is screwed back, clockwise, into the gauze, as poor seating of the filter unit could have an adverse effect on the efficiency of the appliance.
