Salt
(applies to dishwashers with water softeners)
Pour in salt
Before using a dishwasher with a water softening filter, you must fill the salt com- partment with salt. Use coarse salt or spe- cial salt for dishwashers.
It is best to fill with salt when you are about to do a wash, as the dishwasher needs to be rinsed out immediately after filling. Proceed as follows the first time:
1.First unscrew the cover as illustrated.
2.Place the funnel, which is supplied with the dishwasher, into the compartment’s filler hole. First pour in approximately 1 litre of water.
3.Then fill the compartment with max 1.5 kg salt.
4.Wipe away excess salt so that the cover can be properly screwed into place.
5.Run a Normal wash program so that any salt in the machine is rinsed away.
When the salt runs out, the salt symbol on the display* lights up (this function is not available on all machines). Unscrew the cover and fill the compartment with salt. Water is only needed on the first occasion! Wipe clean and screw back in place. Run a Normal wash program so that any salt is rinsed away.
The indicator is not working
If the indicator is not working, this may be because the float, which is positioned under the cover, has become stuck in salt residue. The float can be reached through the green arm located under the cover of the salt compartment. Move the float arm up and down to loosen it. Once the float has been loosened, press it down again.
Models without a salt symbol in the display show green in the salt compartment cover when there is sufficient salt.

*NB!
After filling, there may be a short delay before the signal light goes out.
CAUTION!
Never pour dishwasher detergent into the salt compartment. It will destroy the water softener!
