Using for the first time
25
Filling the salt reservoir
Before filling the salt reservoir for the
first time, you must fill it with approx.
1 litre of water to enable the salt to
dissolve.
Once the dishwasher has been used
for the first time, there is always
sufficient water in the reservoir.

Remove the lower basket from the
wash cabinet and unscrew the salt
reservoir cap.

Risk of corrosion due to saline
solution.
Water or saline solution will run out
of the reservoir when the cap is
opened. Saline solution that runs out
can cause corrosion in the wash
cabinet and to the dishwasher load.
The salt reservoir should therefore
only be opened to replenish the salt.

Fill the salt reservoir with approx.
1 litre 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 up to
1 kg of salt, depending on the type of
salt used.

Clean off salt residues from around
the salt reservoir opening. Next,
screw the salt reservoir cap on again
firmly.
 Immediately after filling the salt
reservoir, run the

65 °C
QuickPowerWash programme with
the  Express option and without
any load in the dishwasher to
dissolve and remove any traces of
salt from the wash cabinet.
