Use of dishwasher salt
Do these steps to fill the salt container:
1. Turn the cap counterclockwise to open
the salt container.
2. Fill the salt container with 1 litre of water
(only with the first operation).
3. Use the funnel to fill the salt container with
salt.
4. Remove the salt around the opening of
the salt container.
5. Turn the cap clockwise to close the salt
container.
It is correct that water comes out from
the salt container when you fill it with salt.
If the water softener is set electronically
to the level 1, the salt indicator light stays
off.
