Regeneration salt (water softener)
This machine is equipped with a water softener. To use the water
softener, fill the dishwasher with salt.
• After first having removed the lower basket, loosen the cap of the
reservoir (1 and 2).
• Prior to filling up the reservoir for the first time, pour one litre of
water in it.
• Place the funnel in the reservoir opening. Pour about 2 kg of salt
in it. It is normal for a little water to flow out of the opening when
doing this.
Note! Clear up any spilled salt and always run a full
cycle immediately afterwards to prevent damage to the bottom.
• Carefully tighten the cap of the reservoir.
Note! Always fill the salt reservoir and adjust the water hardness setting
before using the dishwasher. Refill the salt reservoir when the water
softener indicator lights up. It is possible that the light will remain lit for
a short while after the salt reservoir is filled. It will go out automatically
when enough salt has been dissolved in the water.
