en - Filling the container for dishwasher salt

Filling the salt container
Filling the salt reservoir Use only special,
coarse-grained salt with a granula size of
approx. 1- 4 mm.
Do not under any circumstances use other
types of salt such as table salt, agricultural
or gritting salt. These may contain insoluble
additives which can impair the functioning
of the water softener.
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir
with cleaning agent will cause serious
damage to the water softener.
Before filling the salt container make sure
that you have picked up the right packet
of reactivation salt.
When filling the salt container,
only open
the door halfway
to ensure that all the
salt gets into the container.
Press the open button on the lid of the salt
container in the direction of the arrow. The
flap will spring open.
Open the funnel.
Do
not
pour any water into the salt con-
tainer!
Add salt into the container until the funnel
is full but still closes easily. The salt con-
tainer will take approx. 2 kg of salt on the
first fill depending on the degree of
coarseness.
Subsequent refills may take less salt, as
there may still be salt remaining in the
container.
If there is water present in the container, it
may be forced out by the added salt.
Clean any excess salt from around the
container opening and the seal surround-
ing it, and then close the flap.
To avoid corrosion in the wash cabinet,
run the
Cold
programme (without any load
items) immediately after refilling the salt
container. This will dilute and rinse away
any remaining traces of salt.
