Filling the salt reservoir
If your water hardness level is greater
than 8 gr/gal, the salt reservoir should
be filled before the first use and when
the "Salt" indicator lights.
Only use water softener salt (1 - 4 mm)
grain size; other salts may contain in-
soluble additives which can impair the
water softener.
,
Inadvertently filling the salt
reservoir with dishwashing deter-
gent will damage the water soft-
ener.
To fill the salt reservoir:
^
Remove the lower basket.
^
Unscrew and remove the salt reser-
voir cap.
^
Place the provided funnel over the
salt reservoir.
Only before adding salt for the first
time, fill the reservoir with approxi-
mately 2 quarts (2 l) of water.
^
Carefully fill with salt, grain size of
1 - 4 mm. The salt reservoir holds ap-
proximately 4.5 lbs (2 kg) of salt. As it
is filled, water will run out.
^
Clean any excess salt from the
threads of the reservoir opening.
^
Screw the cap on firmly.
^
If the dishwasher will not be used im-
mediately, run the "Rinse & Hold" pro-
gram. This will remove any traces of
salt from inside the wash cabinet.
