Filling with salt
If your water is "level 1" it is already soft and
therefore there is no need to use salt.
Salt must be used from "level 2" upward.
Only use salt specifically designed for use
in dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically
designed for use in dishwasher, specially
table salt, will damage the water softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the
complete washing programmes (not the Rinse and
Hold 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 may cause corrosion.
To fill:
1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt
container.
2. Pour about 1 litre of water inside the container,
or until it is full (this is necessary only before
filling with salt for the first time).
3. Then using the funnel provided, pour in the salt
until the container is full (approx. 1 kg).
Do not worry if water over flows from the unit
when filling with salt, this is quite normal.
4. Replace the cap making sure that there is no
trace of salt on the screw thread or on the
gasket.
5. Screw on the cap tightly.
The salt container will require topping up
periodically.
You are reminded of this by the “Salt refill indicator
light” on the control panel which comes on when
the salt has finished.
The “Salt refill indicator light” on the
control panel can remain illuminated for
2-6 hours after the salt has been
replenished, assuring 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.
