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 overflows 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.
When this has been done, all that is required is to periodically top up the container
with salt. You are reminded of this by the salt container indicator light on the
control panel which comes on when the salt has run out.
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.
Filling with special salt
Caution! The packaging of dishwasher salt and detergents are often very similar. The
accidental filling of the salt compartment with detergent would ruin the water
softener. Each time you add salt, make sure the carton you have in your hand really
is 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.
