Salt
Add salt
Before using a dishwasher with a water softe
ning filter, you must fill the salt compartment
with salt. Use coarse salt or special salt for
dishwashers.
It is best to fill with salt when you are about
to do a wash, as the dishwasher needs to be
rinsed out immediately after filling.
Proceed as follows the first time:
1. First unscrew the cover as illustrated.
2. Place the funnel, which is supplied with the
dishwasher, into the compartment’s filler
hole.
3. First pour in approximately 1 litre of water.
Then fill the compartment with max 1.5 kg
salt.
4. Wipe away excess salt so that the cover
can be properly screwed into place.
5. Run a Normal wash program so that any
salt in the machine is rinsed away.
When the salt runs out, the salt symbol on the
display* lights up. Unscrew the cover and fill
the compartment with salt. Water is only need
ed on the first occasion! Wipe clean and screw
back in place. Run a Normal wash program so
that any salt is rinsed away.
Occasionally check to see if more salt is
needed. A green indicator can be seen in the
cover of the salt compartment.
The indicator is not working
If the indicator is not working, this may be be
cause the float, which is positioned under the
cover, has become stuck in salt residue. The
float can be reached through the green arm lo
cated under the cover of the salt compartment.
1. Move the float arm up and down to loosen it.
2. Once the float has been loosened, press it
down again.
Models without a salt symbol in the display
show green in the salt compartment cover
when there is sufficient salt.
*NB!
After filling, there may be a short delay before
the signal light goes out.
CAUTION!
Never pour dishwasher detergent into the salt
compartment. It will destroy the water softener!
