Filling the salt reservoir
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
dishwasher 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 Gentle 45°C  pro‐
gramme with the Short  pro‐
gramme option selected and without
any crockery in the dishwasher to re‐
move any traces of salt from the cab‐
inet.
