B) ADDING THE SALT INTO THE WATER SOFTENER:
Always use salt intended for use with the dishwasher.
ATTENTION!
Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers! All other
types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt,
will damage the water softener. In case of damage caused by the use of unsuitable
salt, the manufacturer does not give any warranty nor is liable for any caused damag-
es caused.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programs.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water from remaining on the bottom of the
machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
After the first wash cycle, the control panel light goes OFF.
The Water softener/Salt compartment is located beneath the lower rack and should
be filled as follows:
1) Remove the lower rack, then unscrew and remove the cap from the Water soften-
er/Salt compartment. (Illustration 1)
2) Before using the appliance for the first time, pour about 17oz / 500 ml of water in
the salt compartment.
3) Using the funnel, fill with dishwasher salt (max. 2.6lbs / 1.2kg) until the salt
container is full. When you refill the salt, it is normal for small amount of water to be
displaced and to drains off.
4) Carefully screw the compartment cap back on.
WARNING:
Risk of Corrosion. Immediately after filling the compartment, run the
“Express” program and without any crockery in the dishwasher to remove any traces
of salt from the dishwasher base.
NOTE: It may take up to 2-6 days for the salt warning light to turn OFF, after the Water
softener/Salt compartment is filled with salt.
NOTE: The compartment must be refilled when the salt warning light on the control
panel turns ON. Once the compartment is filled enough, the indicator light may not
turn OFF before the salt fully dissolves.
