Before using for the first time
^Remove the lower basket and unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
Only open the salt reservoir when you want to fill it with dishwasher salt as water or salt solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is removed.
^Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 litres of water (first use only).
^Place the funnel provided over the salt reservoir and carefully fill with salt until the reservoir is full. The salt reservoir holds approx. 2 kg of salt depending on the brand used.
As the salt reservoir is filled, displaced water will overflow.
^Clean any excess salt from around the reservoir opening and then screw the cap on again firmly.
^Run the "Quick wash" programme immediately (without any crockery in the dishwasher) to remove any traces of salt water from the cabinet.
Salt indicator
^Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt when the salt indicator light comes on. (If it comes on during a programme, wait until the end of the programme).
After the reservoir has been filled, the water softener is automatically reactivated the next time the dishwasher is run. The salt indicator light may still be illuminated during this process. It will go out once the salt concentration has reached the correct level.
,After filling the salt reservoir, run the "Quick wash" programme immediately (without any crockery in the dishwasher) to remove any traces of salt water from the cabinet.
