SALT
FILLING WITH SALT
The salt compartment must be filled with salt
before using a machine that is equipped with a
water softener. Use coarse salt or regenerating
salt that is especially intended for dishwashers.
The salt should preferably be filled just be-
fore running the dishwasher because it is neces-
sary to rinse the machine directly after filling.
Proceed as follows the first time: Unscrew
the lid of the salt container, as illustrated. Insert
the funnel, supplied with the dishwasher, into
the filler hole. Pour in about one litre of water
and then enough salt to fill the container, max.
1.5 kg. Wipe away any spilled salt, so that the
lid will seal properly, and screw on the lid firmly.
Run a complete programme to ensure that any
remaining salt is rinsed away.
The salt indicating lamp on the panel will
light when the salt container becomes empty.*
Following the first wash cycle the salt container
will be full of water. Unscrew the lid and fill the
container with salt, which should preferably be
done immediately before a wash programme is
started. Wipe away any spilled salt and screw on
the lid. Run a complete programme to ensure
that any remaining salt is rinsed away.
If the indicator does not work it may be be-
cause the float, fitted underneath the lid, is stick-
ing in salt residues. Push it up and down to loo-
sen it. The float is reached through the green
arm underneath the lid. Restore the float arm to
the lower position. Models that are not fitted
with an indicator lamp show a green colour in
the lid when there is sufficient salt.
Applies to dishwashers with water softener only.
The salt indicating lamp on the panel will light when
there is no salt left. Not all machines are fitted with the
indicating lamp. In such cases a green indicator is fitted
on the lid of the salt container, see arrow.

*N.B.
After refilling, there may be some delay before
the indicating lamp goes out.
WARNING
Never pour detergent into the salt compartment
because it would ruin the softener.
