Filling the salt container

Before using for the first time

Every dishwasher is tested before leaving the factory. Any water remaining in the machine is from the final factory test and does not indicate that the machine has been used.

Remove the lower basket from the wash cabinet and unscrew the salt container lid.

When opening the salt container, water will run out. Open the container only to refill salt.

Filling the salt container

To achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs soft water (water that is low in minerals). Hard water results in calcium deposits on dishware and in the dishwasher.

Therefore, if your tap water hardness is above 4 °d (4 gr/gal) the water should be softened. The built-in water softener is designed for this purpose. The water softener is suitable for a water hardness up to 70 °d (73 gr/gal).

Inadvertently filling the salt container with dishwashing detergent (including liquid detergent) will damage the water softener.

Only use water softener salt specially formulated for dishwashers. Other salts may contain insoluble additives which can impair the water softener.

If using "Tab" products which include salt, still add salt to the machine to achieve optimal cleaning results and ensure long-term functioning of the water softener.

Important: The salt container must be filled with 2 quarts (2 l) of water before adding salt for the first time so the salt can dissolve

properly. Water does not have to be added with subsequent refills.
