Adding special salt
To decalcify the water softener, it must be filled up with special salt. Use only special salt suitable for domestic dishwashers.
If you do not use 3in1 detergent, fill up with special salt:
–Before using the dishwasher for the first time.
–If when starting a cycle the message REFILL SALT is displayed.
1.Open the door and remove the low-
er basket.
2. Screw open the lid on the salt dispenser by turning it
3. Only when using the dishwasher for the first time:
Fill the salt dispenser with water.
4.Place the funnel (supplied) over the
dispenser opening.
Fill the dispenser with special salt; the capacity of the dispenser is ap- prox.
3 If water overflows when filling up with special salt, this is completely harmless.
5.Clean away any salt remnants from the dispenser opening.
6.Screw the lid back on in a clockwise direction.
7.Run a dishwashing cycle after filling the salt dispenser with special salt. This will wash away salt water and salt crystals that have been spilt.
3 Depending on the size of the grains, it can take several hours for the salt to dissolve in the water and for the message REFILL SALT not to be displayed when starting a dishwashing cycle.
