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.
The salt container will require topping up periodically.
According to the model, an indicator reminds you when
filling with salt:
A) The salt cap has a refill indicator window in the centre.
A green float is clearly visible when there is salt inside
the container, and almost disappears when the salt has
finished reminding you to add salt.
B) A salt indicator light on the control panel 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.
C) For appliances not provided with salt indicator:
top up periodically the salt container with salt
(after about every 50 washing cycles with water softener
setted on level 3).
Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling
with salt, this is quite normal.
