Before using for the first time
29
Filling the salt reservoir
Before filling the salt reservoir for the
first time, you must fill it with approx.
1/2 gallon (2 l) of water to enable the
salt to dissolve.
Once the dishwasher has been used
once, there is always sufficient water
in the salt reservoir.
Remove the lower basket from the
wash cabinet and unscrew the salt
reservoir cap.
Danger of corrosion due to saline
solution.
Water or saline solution will run out
of the reservoir when the cap is
opened. Salt solution that runs out
can cause corrosion in the wash
cabinet and to the wash items.
The cap should therefore only be re-
moved in order to refill the salt reser-
voir.
Fill the salt reservoir with approx.
1/2 gallon (2 l) of water (first use only).
Place the funnel provided over the
salt reservoir and carefully fill with re-
activation salt until the reservoir is
full. The salt reservoir holds up to
4.4 lb (2 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 reser-
voir and each time you remove the
salt reservoir cap, run the
Quick-
IntenseWash
program with the
Ex-
press
program option selected with-
out wash items in the dishwasher to
dissolve and remove any traces of
salt from the wash cabinet.
