Adding salt
Before filling the salt reservoir with
dishwasher salt for the first time, you
must fill it with approx. 2 litres of wa-
ter to enable the salt to dissolve.
Once the dishwasher has been used,
there is always sufficient water in the
reservoir.
Remove the lower basket and un-
screw the salt reservoir cap.
Water or saline solution will run out
of the reservoir when the cap is re-
moved.
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.
Clean any excess salt from around
the reservoir opening and then screw
the cap on again firmly.
Immediately after filling the salt reser-
voir, run the
Sensor wash gentle
programme with the
Short
option
and without any crockery in the dish-
washer to remove any traces of salt
from the cabinet.
