Adding salt into the salt container
Always use salt designed for dishwashers.
The salt compartment is located under the lower rack and you should refi ll it in the following manner.
NOTE
•
Use only salt specifi cally designed for use in dishwashers! Any other kind of salt, which is not
specifi cally designed for use in dishwashers, particularly table salt, would damage the softener
system in the dishwasher. Damage caused by the use of inappropriate salt is not covered by
the manufacturer's guarantee and the manufacturer takes no responsibility for any damages
caused.
• Add the salt before starting one of the full washing cycle programs. This will prevent salt
crystals or salt water from lying at the bottom of the dishwasher, where this could lead to
corrosion.
Open
a) Slide out the lower rack and then unscrew the lid of the salt compartment – see pic. 1.
b) Before the fi rst wash, pour 1 litre of water into the salt compartment.
c) Place the funnel (included accessory) on the opening of the compartment and pour 1 kg of salt into it.
• It is normal for a smaller amount of water to run out of the compartment – see pic. 2.
d) After fi lling the compartment screw the lid back on by turning it in the clockwise direction.
e) The salt warning indicator light will turn off within 2 - 6 days after the salt compartment has been refi lled.
f ) 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.
