Salt refill indicator
Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher
salt for reactivation when
Refill salt
appears in the display (If it appears
during a program, wait until the end
of the program).
Confirm with
OK
.
The message will go out.
Risk of corrosion!
Immediately after filling the salt res‐
ervoir, run the
Express
program with
the
Short
program option selected
and without any dishware in the
dishwasher to remove any traces of
salt from the cabinet.
After the salt reservoir has been filled,
the refill indicator may still appear in the
display if the salt concentration has not
yet reached the correct level. If this is
the case, confirm again with
OK
.
The salt refill indicator will be turned off
if you have programmed the dishwash‐
er for a water hardness below 5 gr/gal
(5 °d).
If you only ever use Tab products in
your dishwasher, you can switch off
both refill indicators for salt and rinse
aid if you wish (see "Settings menu -
Switching off the refill indicators").
If you switch to using detergent that
does not contain salt or rinse aid, it
is important to remember to add
dishwasher salt and rinse aid and to
switch the indicators back on.
