FILLING THE SPECIAL SALT

CONTAINER...

Note: Only use recommended Dishwasher salt or granular salt. DO NOT use everyday table salt, cooking salt or road salt as they contain insoluble substances which could harm the Dishwasher.

How the salt works:

While washing is taking place, salt is automatically rinsed out of the salt container into the water softener where it dissolves the lime in the water. The dissolved lime is pumped out of the dishwasher. The water softener system is then ready for the next load. This process of regeneration can only function when the salt is dissolved in water.

You should fill just before starting the programme.

Unscrew the lid of the salt container. Before using the dishwasher for the first time, pour approximately 1 litre of water into the salt container.

Use the supplied funnel to fill salt to the top of the container (maximum of 1.5kg). As you tip in the salt some of the water is displaced and drains away. When you have done this, clean off any remnants of salt from the area around the neck of the container. Replace the lid, back onto the container, ensuring that it is not cross-threaded.

The LOW SALT indicator 5 on the front

panel will light up initially but will extinguish again after a short period when the salt solution has become sufficiently concentrated.

Note:

When the control is set to 0, it is not necessary to fill up with salt as none will be consumed while the dishwasher is operating. The LOW SALT indicator is switched off. If the control is set between 1 and 7, then salt must be added to the dispenser.

WARNING:

DO NOT pour detergent into the special Salt Container. This will destroy the water softener.

LOW SALT Indicator:

Add more salt as soon as the LOW SALT indicator 5 on the front panel lights up.
