^
Remove the lower basket and
unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
Water or saline solution will run out
of the reservoir when the cap is
removed. It should therefore only be
removed in order to refill the salt
reservoir.
^
Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 litres
of water (first use only).
^
Place the funnel provided over the
salt reservoir and carefully fill with
salt until the reservoir is full. The salt
reservoir holds approx. 2 kg of salt
depending on the brand used.
As the salt reservoir is filled,
displaced water will overflow.
^
Clean any excess salt from around
the reservoir opening and then screw
the cap on again
firmly
.
^
After filling the salt reservoir, run the
"Sensor wash gentle" programme
with the "Turbo" function selected im-
mediately without any crockery in the
dishwasher to remove any traces of
salt from the cabinet.
Salt indicator
^
Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher
salt when the salt refill indicator light
comes on. (If it comes on during a
programme, wait until the end of the
programme).
After the reservoir has been filled, the
water softener is automatically
reactivated the next time the
dishwasher is run. The salt refill
indicator may still be illuminated during
this process. It will go out once the salt
concentration has reached the correct
level.
The salt refill indicator light will not
come on if the dishwasher has been
programmed for a water hardness level
of less than 0.7 mmol/l (4°d German
scale).

After filling the salt reservoir, run
the "Sensor wash gentle"

selected immediately without any
crockery in the dishwasher to

cabinet.
