Always use salt which is intended for dishwasher use.

The salt container is situated underneath the lower basket, fill it up as follows:

2.If it is the first time you add the salt, first fill the container up with water (you won't have to do this againnexttime)

3.Put the dishwasher funnel on the hole and pour in approximately two kilos of salt. It is normal that some water comes out of the container.

4.Screw the cap back in place carefully.

When to add salt:

The salt container should be filled up when the low salt indicator light “S” flashes.

The dishwasher will remind you to do so for five consecutive wash cycles.
