Filling with salt

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.

Only fill with salt just before starting one of 
the complete washing programmes. This will 
prevent any grains of salt or salty water,
which may have been spilled, remaining on 
the bottom of the machine for any period of 
time, which may cause corrosion.

To fill:

1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt 

container.

2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is 

necessary only before filling with salt for the 
first time).

3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until the 

container is full.
Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when 
filling with salt, this is quite normal.

4. Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace 

of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.

5. Screw on the cap tightly.

The salt container will require topping up periodically.

You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on
the control panel which comes on when the salt has
finished.

The salt indicator light on the control panel 
can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after 
the salt has been replenished, assuming the 
dishwasher remains switched on. If you are 
using salts that take longer to dissolve then 
this can take longer. The function of the 
machine is not affected.
