Salt
To ensure the best efficiency, the dishwasher needs soft water. Hard water means that lime residues remain on the dishes and the interior of the dishwasher, affecting performance. The softener system is designed to remove the ions that make the water hard to provide the best quality wash performance. This is achieved by using dishwasher salt.
To add dishwasher salt, follow the steps below:
1.Remove the lower dishwasher basket and then unscrew the salt compartment cap, as shown in figure 2.
2.Fill the compartment with dishwasher salt (do not use table salt), carefully to prevent unnecessary spillage (figure 3). Before first use, you should fill the compartment with 2kg of dishwasher salt and then fill up the salt compartment with water (up to the brim of the compartment) as shown in figure 3.
3.Replace the cap and the lower basket.
When the salt warning light on the control panel illuminates, you should refill the salt compartment with salt only – do not add water to the salt compartment after the first use.
Important:
You should run a prewash programme immediately after adding dishwasher salt, to prevent any damage to the dishwasher systems.
