Before using for the first time

Filling the salt reservoir
Important! Before filling the salt
reservoir with dishwasher salt for the
first time, you must fill it with approx.
2 qt (2 l) of water to enable the salt to
dissolve.
Once the dishwasher has been used
for the first time, there is always suf-
ficient water in the reservoir.
Remove the lower basket from the
wash cabinet and unscrew the salt
reservoir cap.
Water 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 qt (2 l)
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. 4 lbs (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
QuickIntenseWash
pro-
gram with the
Short
programming op-
tion selected and without any dishes
in the dishwasher to remove any
traces of salt from the wash cabinet.
