For a good washing result, the dishwasher needs soft, i.e. less calcareous water. Otherwise, white lime residues will remain on the
dishes and the interior of the dishwasher. This has a negative effect on your applinace’s washing, drying and shining performance. For
this purpose, dishwasher salt is used.
• Remove the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt reservoir
(1).
• Place the provided funnel into the opening and fill with salt till the
overflow level, about 1.5 kg (2).
• Fill the reservoir before first use with water. It is normal for a little
water to flow out of the opening when doing this.
