Filling with 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 programmes. 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 may cause corrosion.
The salt container will require topping up periodically.
According to the model, an indicator reminds you when
filling with salt:
A) The salt cap has a refill indicator window in the
centre.
A green float is clearly visible when there is salt inside
the container, and almost disappears when the salt
has finished reminding you to add salt.
B) A salt indicator light on the control panel 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.
C) For appliances not provided with salt indicator:
top up periodically the salt container with salt
(after about every 50 washing cycles with water
softener setted on level 3).
Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling
with salt, this is quite normal.
1. Unscrew the cap of the salt container.
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. Remove any trace of salt on the screw thread or on
the gasket.
5. Screw on the cap tightly.
