The salt container is situated
underneath the lower rack, fill it
up as follows:
1. Pull out the lower rack
completely, unscrew and
remove the container cap
2. Is it the first time you load the
salt? First fill the container up
with water (you won't have to
do this again next time)
3. Put the dishwasher funnel on
the hole and pour in
approximately 70 oz. of salt.
It is normal that some water
comes out of the container.
4. Screw the cap back in place
carefully.
Water in your home
When should I load the
salt?
The salt container should be filled
up when the low salt indicator
light "S" flashes. Your appliance
will remind you to do so for 5 con-
secutive wash cycles.
Intelligent salt.
Your dishwasher can adjust its
salt consumption according to the
hardness of the water in your
home. This way, you can optimise
and customise your dishwasher's
salt consumption (not too much,
nor too little).
To adjust salt consumption, do as
follows:
1. Unscrew the salt container
cap
2. There is an arrow on the neck
of the container (see figure):
if necessary, turn the arrow
anti-clockwise from the "-"
setting to the "+" setting.
Select the arrow position
depending on the water
hardness, referring to the table
provided.
Water hardness varies according to where you live. If the water in your home is hard you have the possibility to
add salt in order to soften your water. The softer the water the better will be your washing and drying results.
