Filling with special salt
Only use salt designed specifically for use in dishwashers. Other types of salt
i.e. table/cooking salt contain high percentages of other substances which
may reduce the efficiency of the softener.
Caution! The packaging of dishwasher salt and detergents are often very
similar. The accidental filling of the salt compartment with detergent would
ruin the water softener. Each time you add salt, make sure the carton you
have in your hand really is salt.
To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt container. Pour about half a litre
of water into the container, or until it is full (this is only necessary before
filling with salt for the first time).
Pour inside the container about 1 kg of regenerating salt.
Clean any excess salt from the screw thread and the washer and carefully
close the cap.
Salt refill indicator
The salt container will require topping up periodically.
The salt cap has a refill indicator window in the centre.
A green floater is clearly visible when there is salt inside the container, and
almost disappears when the salt has finished, reminding you to add salt.
Caution: Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing
programmes (not the RINSEANDHOLD programme). This will prevent any
grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the
bottom of the machine for any period of time, which could cause corrosion.
