Operating Instructions

Filling with Salt for the Water Softener

1

Use only salt designed for dishwashers. Never fill the salt container

 

with any another type of salt (e.g. culinary salt) or dishwasher deter-

gent, as this would irreparably damage the water softener.

Prior to filling with salt, please check each time that you really do have a packet of dishwasher salt in your hand.

Fill with dishwasher salt:

Prior to using the dishwasher for the first time

If a green mark can be seen under the lid of the salt container, then there is sufficient salt. If the green mark cannot be seen, you must refill the container with salt.

3

If the water hardness in your area is less than 4 °d, you do not need to

 

use dishwasher salt. The green mark will then not be visible. The func-

 

tion of the appliance is not impaired.

The 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 dishwasher salt will leak into the wash water. Dull glasses may result.

Depending on the size of the salt grains, it can take several hours for

 

the salt to dissolve in the water and the green mark to become visible

again. The setting of the water softener and thus the consumption of salt are dependent on the hardness of the local water.
