Filling with Special Salt for the Water Softener
1
Use only special salt for dishwashers. Never
fill the salt container with any another type of
salt (e.g. culinary salt) or dishwasher deter-
gent. This would irreparably damage the
water softener.
Prior to filling with salt, please check each
time that you really do have a packet of spe-
cial salt in your hand.
Fill with special salt:
• Prior to using the dishwasher for the first time
• If a green mark can be seen under the lid of the
special salt container, then there is sufficient spe-
cial salt. If the green mark cannot be seen, you
must refill the container with special salt.
3
If the water hardness in your area is less
than 4 °d, you do not need to use special
salt. The green mark will then not be visible.
The function of the appliance is not impaired.
1. Open the door, remove the lower rack.
2. Undo the lid on the salt container by turning it anti-
clockwise.
3. Only when using for the first time:
fill the salt container with water.
4. Place the funnel supplied on the container open-
ing.
Fill the container with special salt through the fun-
nel; the capacity of the container is approx. 1.0-
1.5 kg depending on the grain size. Do not overfill
the salt container with special salt.
3
The water expelled by filling the salt con-
tainer with special salt runs out of the salt
container onto the base of the washing com-
partment. This is not a cause for concern,
the water will be pumped out at the start of
the next wash programme.
5. Clean any salt remnants on the container open-
ing.
6. Turn the lid clockwise to the stop, otherwise spe-
cial salt will leak into the wash water, this could
lead to poor wash results. To avoid this run a rinse
program after filling the salt container with special
salt. This will wash away salt water and any salt
crystals that have been spilt.
3
Depending on the size of the salt grains, it
can take several hours for the salt to dissolve
in the water and the green mark to become
visible again.
The setting of the water softener and thus
the consumption of salt are dependent on
the hardness of the local water.
