Filling with 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.

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 over flows 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.

The salt container will require topping up periodically.

You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the control panel which comes on when the salt has finished.

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.
