USING THE APPLIANCE - A FEW PRACTICAL TIPS

1
WATER HARDNESS, SALT, RINSE-AID AND DETERGENT
Water hardness adjustment. Water contains scale. The more scale, the harder the
water. To prevent the scale in the water from damaging the dishwasher, it is equipped
with a descaler to reduce the scale and leave it perfectly clean for washing. The descaler
uses salt to function.
Before starting up the dishwasher, you will need to know the water hardness in
your area. You can find this out by either:
1º Consulting the local Water Board,
2º consulting the T.A.S. (Technical Assistance Service), or
3º using the Aquadur strip included in the accessories bag, following the instructions
below.
To find out the water hardness:
Place the strip in a glass of water
a
for one second, and then take it
out.
b
Shake it and wait for one minute.
c The strip will show the water
hardness. Check the result of the
test against the table below. You
will probably need to adjust your
dishwasher.
