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.

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.

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.
