Filling with dishwasher salt
IMPORTANT: You should only use salt that is specially designed for use in a dishwasher. If any other type of salt is used in the appliance (in particular table salt), it will damage the water softener.
oIdeally you should fill the water softener with salt, just before you are about to run a wash program. This will help to clear any salt that may have overflowed from the water softener during the salt filling process.
oOpen the door of the dishwasher and then remove the lower basket. The basket should be empty when you remove it.
o Turn the water softener cap anticlockwise and remove it.
oPour 1 litre of water into the water softener.
IMPORTANT: It is only necessary to do this when you fill the container with salt for the first time.
oPour salt into the water softener, using the funnel that is supplied with the
appliance. You should add approximately 1.2 kg of salt into the water softener.
oIt is perfectly normal for a small amount of water to come out of the water softener, whilst you are filling it with salt. This does not mean that the water softener is filled with the correct amount of salt.
oRefit and fully tighten the water softener cap.
oThe salt required warning light will go out approximately
