a) Slide out the lower rack and then unscrew the lid of the salt compartment – see pic. 1/2.
b) Before the fi rst wash, pour 3/4 litre of water into the salt compartment.
c) Place the funnel (included accessory) on the opening of the compartment and pour 2 kg of salt into it.
• It is normal for a smaller amount of water to run out of the compartment.
d) After fi lling the compartment screw the lid back on by turning it in the clockwise direction.
e) You should start a washing program immediately after the salt compartment has been refi lled (we
recommended the rinse or quick wash program). Otherwise the salt water could damage the fi ltration
system, pump and other important part of the dishwasher. This is not covered by the warranty.
NOTE

Only refi ll the salt compartment when the salt warning indicator light on the control panel
lights up. Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the warning indicator light may stay on
even after the salt compartment has been refi lled.

If there is no salt warning indicator light on the control panel (on some models), you can
estimate the amount after adding salt to the system by the number of cycles performed by the
dishwasher.

If salt runs out anywhere, remove it by starting the rinse program or the quick wash program.
Adding rinsing aid
Rinsing aid compartment

The rinsing aid is released during the last rinse so that water drops do not remain on your dishes causing
stains. It also improves drying due to the fact that all the water fl ows off the dishes. Your dishwasher is
designed to only be used with a liquid rinsing aid. The rinsing aid compartment is located on the inside
wall of the door next to the dishwashing detergent compartment.

Fill up the compartment by opening it and pouring in the rinsing aid until the indicator goes completely
dark. The capacity of the rinsing aid compartment is approximately 110 ml.
NOTE:
Use only branded dishwasher rinsing aids. Never pour other mixtures (such as liquid detergents, etc.)
into the rinsing aid compartment. Otherwise the dishwasher may be damaged.
When should the rinsing aid be refi lled?
If the rinsing aid compartment is empty, the relevant indicator light on the control panel will turn on indicating
the need to add rinsing aid. After fi lling the compartment with rinsing aid the entire indicator is dark. As the
rinsing aid is gradually used up the point of the indicator becomes smaller. Never allow the amount of rinsing
aid to fall below 1/4 of the compartment volume.
