Filling with 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 complete washing pro-
grammes.
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 inside the container (this is necessary only before
filling with salt for the first time).
3. Using the funnel provided, 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 on the cap tightly turning it
clockwise until it stops with a click.
The salt container will require topping up periodically. You are reminded of
this by the salt indicator light on the control panel which comes on when the
salt has finished.
The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for
2-6 hours after the 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 machine is not affected.
Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is
quite normal.
