Salt container

Special salts are used as a water softening agent in dishwashers

The dishwasher requires lime free water for optimum operation. The water supply in South Africa varies considerably. Some users have access to borehole water only, while others are supplied from reservoirs or dams. Users in urban areas would not normally require water softeners. It is advisable therefore to test your water supply. Check for white spots on glassware. If these appear, the water used is too hard and requires softening through the use of salt. Experience will soon show if softening is required.

Salt container

The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic salt release system. The salt container needs to be filled with regenerating salts specially developed for dishwashers. Small grained or powdered salt is recommended.

Do not use table salt or edible salt as these contain insoluble substances.

To fill the salt container, proceed as follows:

Remove the lower rack to improve access.

Unscrew the lid of the salt container.

If used for the first time, pour about 1 litre of water into the container.( If the container has water in it this step is not required).

Using the funnel supplied, add salt until the container is full. The container holds about 2 kg of salt. Screw the lid back on until a "click" sound is heard.

The low salt indicator light on the facia will glow when the salt needs replenishing.

Afloat indicator in the water softener container will also be visible when the container is sufficiently full and will drop out of sight when the salt needs replenishing.
