Use of dishwasher salt
Warning!
Only use salt specifically designed for use in
dishwashers. All other types of salt not spe-
cifically designed for use in a dishwasher,
especially table salt, will damage the water
softener. Only fill with salt just before starting
one of the complete 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 anticlockwise.
2. Pour 1 litre of water into the container
(this is necessary only before filling
with salt for the first time) .
3. Pour in the salt until the container is full.
4. Replace the cap making sure that there
is no trace of salt on the screw thread or
on the gasket.
5. Replace the cap tightly turning it clock-
wise until it stops with a click.
