Filling with dishwasher 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 spilt, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period
of time, which may cause corrosion.
To fill:
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the cap of
the salt container by turning it anticlockwise.
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.
4. Replace the cap making sure that
there is no trace of salt on the screw
thread or on the gasket.
5. Replace on the cap tightly turning it
clockwise until it stops with a click.
The salt container will require topping up periodically.
The salt refilling is indicated by a flashing message in the display
REFILL SALT.
This occurs only during the setting mode and at the end of the
washing programme, during the progress of the washing programme
the indication for salt refilling is not active.
The salt refilling indication can remain active from 2 to 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.
Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt,
this is quite normal.
