Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap (anticlockwise) .  \n2. Only the first time you do this: fill the salt reservoir with water.  \n3. Position the funnel (see figure) and fill the salt reservoir right up to its edge (approximately  \n1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak out.  \n4. Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue away from the opening.  \nMake sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can get into the container during the wash program (this could damage the water softener beyond repair) .  \nWhenever you need to add salt, it is mandatory to complete the procedure before the beginning of the washing cycle to avoid corrosion.  \nSETTING THE WATER HARDNESS  \nTo allow the water softener to work in a perfect way, it is essential that the water hardness setting is based on the actual water hardness in your house. This information can be obtained from your local water supplier.  \nThe factory sets the default value for the water hardness.  \n• Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.  \n• Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.  \n• Hold down button P for 5 seconds, until you hear a beep.  \n• Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.  \n• The current selection level number and the salt indicator light both flash.  \n• Press button P to select the desired hardness level (see WATER HARDNESS TABLE) .  \n| Water Hardness Table |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Level |  | °dH\u003Cbr>German degrees | °fH\u003Cbr>French degrees | °Clark\u003Cbr>English degrees |\n| 1 | Soft | 0-6 | 0-10 | 0-7 |\n| 2 | Medium | 7-11 | 11-20 | 8-14 |\n| 3 | Average | 12-16 | 21-29 | 15-20 |\n| 4 | Hard | 17-34 | 30-60 | 21-42 |\n| 5 | Very hard | 35-50 | 61-90 | 43-62 |\n\n• Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.  \nSetting is complete!  \nAs soon as this procedure is complete, run a program without loading.  \nOnly use salt that has been specifically designed for dishwashers.  \nAfter the salt has been poured into the machine, the SALT ","cbCaih5g9oT6Muq2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih5g9oT6Muq2","pdf",6043216,"English","# First Time Use\n## Salt, Rinse Aid and Detergent\n### Advice Regarding the First Time Use\n### Filling the Salt Reservoir\n### Setting the Water Hardness\n### Filling the Rinse Aid Dispenser\n### Adjusting the Dosage of Rinse Aid\n### Filling the Detergent Dispenser","[{\"question\":\"Why must the salt reservoir never be empty?\",\"answer\":\"Salt prevents limescale formation on dishes and functional components.
