Salt
Pour in salt
Before using a dishwasher with a water
softening filter, you must fill the salt com-
partment with salt. Use coarse salt or spe-
cial salt for dishwashers.
It is best to fill with salt when you are about
to do a wash, as the dishwasher needs to
be rinsed out immediately after filling.
Proceed as follows the first time:
1. First unscrew the cover as illustrated.
2. Place the funnel, which is supplied with
the dishwasher, into the compartment’s filler
hole. First pour in approximately 1 litre of
water.
3. Then fill the compartment with max 1.5 kg
salt.
4. Wipe away excess salt so that the cover
can be properly screwed into place.
5. Run a Normal wash program so that any
salt in the machine is rinsed away.
When the salt runs out, unscrew the cover
and fill the compartment with salt. Water is
only needed on the first occasion! Wipe
clean and screw back in place. Run a Nor-
mal wash program so that any salt is rinsed
away.
Occasionally check to see if more salt is
needed. A green indicator can be seen in
the cover of the salt compartment.
CAUTION!
Never pour dishwasher detergent into the
salt compartment. The water softener will be
ruined!
