Use of dishwasher salt
Only use salt specifically designed for
use in dishwashers. All other types of salt
not specifically designed for use in a
dishwasher, especially table salt, will
damage the water softener. Only fill with
salt just before starting one of the com-
plete washing programmes. This will
prevent any grains of salt or salty water,
which may have been spilt, remaining on
the bottom of the machine for any period
of time, which may cause corrosion.
To fill:
1. Open the door, remove the lower
basket and unscrew the cap of the
salt container by turning it anticlock-
wise.
2. Pour 1 litre of water into the container
(this is necessary only before fill-
ing with salt for the first time) .
3. Using the funnel provided, pour in
the salt until the container is full.
