Operating Instructions

Filling with Salt for the Water Softener

1	Use only special salt for dishwashers. Never fill the salt container with
	any another type of salt (e.g. culinary salt) or dishwasher detergent, 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

–When the SALT indicator on the control panel is illuminated.

3	If the water hardness in your area is less than 4 °d, you do not need to
	use dishwasher salt.
0 1.	Open the door, remove the lower
	basket.	SALE
2.	Undo the lid on the salt container by	SALT
		SALZ
	turning it anticlockwise.	SEL

3.When using for the first time: fill the salt container with water.

4.Place the funnel supplied on the container opening.

Fill the container with salt through the funnel; the capacity of the con- tainer is approx. 1.0-1.5 kg depend- ing on the grain size. Do not overfill the salt container with salt.

3	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, this could lead to poor wash results. To avoid this run a rinse programme after filling the salt container with special salt. This will wash away salt water and any salt crystals that have been spilt.

3	Depending on the size of the salt grains, it can take several hours for
	the salt to dissolve in the water and for the SALT indicator to extin-

guish.

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