Filling with salt
Only use salt specifically designed for use in
dishwasher.
All other types of salt not specifically
designed for use in dishwasher, specially table
salt, will damage the water softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of
the complete washing programmes (not the
Rinse and Hold programme).This will prevent
any grains of salt or salty water, which may
have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of
the machine for any period of time, which may
cause corrosion.
To fill:
1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt
container.
2. Pour about 1 litre of water inside the container,
or until it is full (this is necessary only before
filling with salt for the first time).
3. Then using the funnel provided, pour in the salt
until the container is full.
Do not worry if water over flows from the unit
when filling with salt, this is quite normal.
4. Replace the cap making sure that there is no
trace of salt on the screw thread or on the
gasket.
5. Screw on the cap tightly.
The salt container will require topping up periodically.
The "Salt refill" indicator light on the control panel will
illuminate when the salt has finished, and requires
refilling. The salt container has always some water
inside which will normally overflow when refilling with
salt.
The "Salt refill" indicator light can remain
illuminated for 2 - 6 hours after salt has been
replenished, assuming the dishwasher
remains switched on. If you are using salts
that take longer to dissolve then this can take
longer.The function of the dishwasher is not
affected.
