Salt
To ensure the best eciency, the dishwasher needs soft water. Hard
water means that lime residues remain on the dishes and the interior
of the dishwasher, aecting performance. The softener system is
designed to remove the ions that make the water hard to provide
the best quality wash performance. This is achieved by using
dishwasher salt.
To add dishwasher salt, follow the steps below:
1. Remove the lower dishwasher basket and then unscrew the salt
compartment cap, as shown in figure 2.
2. Fill the compartment with dishwasher salt (do not use table salt),
carefully to prevent unnecessary spillage (figure 3). Before first
use, you should fill the compartment with 2kg of dishwasher salt
and then fill up the salt compartment with water (up to the brim of
the compartment) as shown in figure 3.
3. Replace the cap and the lower basket.
When the salt warning light on the control panel illuminates, you
should refill the salt compartment with salt only – do not add water
to the salt compartment after the first use.
Important:
You should run a prewash programme immediately after adding
dishwasher salt, to prevent any damage to the dishwasher systems.
