Filling the salt reservoir
If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly lower than
0.7 mmol/l (4 °d) you do not need to
add dishwasher salt. The dish-
washer must, however, still be pro-
grammed to correspond to the water
hardness level in your area. (The salt
indicator light will still come on, but
should be ignored).
Important: Before filling the salt res-
ervoir with dishwasher salt for the
first time, you must fill it with approx.
2 litres of water to enable the salt to
dissolve. Once the dishwasher has
been used, there is always sufficient
water in the reservoir.
,
Inadvertently filling the salt reser-
voir with powder or liquid dish-
washer detergent always leads to
serious damage to the water soft-
ener. Make sure you have picked up
the correct packet of dishwasher salt
before filling the salt reservoir!
,
Only use special coarse grained
dishwasher salt for reactivation. Do
not use other salts such as cooking
salt, agricultural grade or gritting
salt. These may contain insoluble
additives which can impair the func-
tioning of the water softener.

Remove the lower basket and un-
screw the salt reservoir cap.
^
Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 litres
of water (first use).
^
Place the funnel provided over the
salt reservoir and carefully fill with salt
until the reservoir is full. The salt res-
ervoir holds approx. 2 kg of salt de-
pending 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.
^
Run the "Pre-wash" programme im-
mediately to remove any traces of
salt water from the cabinet.
