Using the dishwasher
3. Using the dishwasher
3.1 Before first use
3.2 Loading the salt into the softener
Important
Always use refined salt, which is intended for the dishwasher. If
you take a different kind of salt (in particular table salt), the water
softener is damaged.
•
It is best to fill the softener with regenerating salt right
before you start the rinsing programme, so that over-
flowing salt is removed during rinsing.
• Open the door and remove the lower crockery basket.
The crockery basket should be empty.
• Turn the lid of the storage container counterclockwise
and remove it.
•
If you are filling the container for the first time
,
fill 2/3 of its volume with water (around 500
ml).
• Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole
and introduce about 2kg of salt. It is normal for a small
amount of water to come out of the salt container.

• When installing the machine, follow the installation instructions in
this manual.
•
Fill the water softener with 500 ml of water from the tap, then add 2 kg
of refined salt for the dishwasher. Now set up the water softener.
• Fill and adjust the rins aid dispenser.

Important
Make sure that the surfaces surrounding the appliance, e.g. the undersi-
de of the worktop, are sufficiently protected against moisture
to prevent possible damage (e.g. caused by escaping steam when ope-
ning the appliance door).
