Filling with Special Salt for the Water Softener
1Use only special salt for dishwashers. Never fill the salt container with any another type of salt (e.g. culinary salt) or dishwasher detergent. This would irreparably damage the water softener.
Prior to filling with salt, please check each time that you really do have a packet of special salt in your hand.
Fill with special salt:
–Prior to using the dishwasher for the first time
–When the SALT indicator J on the control panel is illuminated.
3If the water hardness in your area is less than 4 °d, you do not need to use special salt.
0 1. Open the door, remove the lower rack.
2. Undo the lid on the salt container by turning it anticlockwise.
3.Only when using for the first time: fill the salt container with water.
4.Place the funnel supplied on the con-
tainer opening.
Fill the container with special salt 
through the funnel; the capacity of
the container is approx. 
depending on the grain size. Do not
overfill the salt container with special salt.
3The water expelled by filling the salt container with special salt runs out of the salt container onto the base of the washing compartment. This is not a cause for concern, the water will be pumped out at the start of the next wash programme.
5.Clean any salt remnants on the container opening.
6.Turn the lid clockwise to the stop, otherwise special salt will leak into the wash water. Dull glasses may result.
7.If you are not going to wash your dishes immediately, you should run the Pre Wash programme A. This will wash away salt water that has run out of the container and any grains of salt that have been spilt.
3Depending on the size of the salt grains, it can take several hours for the salt to dissolve in the water and the special salt indicator J to extinguish. The setting of the water softener and thus the consumption of salt are dependent on the hardness of the local water.
