Water softener
Filling the salt reservoir
Please only use special coarse grained
dishwasher salt for reactivation, as
other salts may contain insoluble addi-
tives which can impair the functioning
of the softener.
The salt reservoir holds approx. 2 kg of
salt.
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir
with dishwasher detergent always
leads to damage to the water sof-
tener.
Make sure that you have picked up
the right packet of dishwasher salt
before filling the salt reservoir.
Remove the bottom basket.
Unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
Before filling the salt reservoir for
the first time:
Fill the salt reservoir with approx.
2 litres of water.
Place the funnel (provided) in place.
Fill carefully with salt
(As it is filled displaced water will run
out).
Clean salt from the screw threads of
the socket.
Screw the cap on firmly.
Run the “PRE-WASH” programme
immediately. This removes any
traces of salt from the cabinet. This
is not necessary if a “UNIVERSAL”
or “UNIVERSAL PLUS” programme
is run straight away.
