Water softener
Filling the salt reservoir
Please only use specialised reactiva- tion salt, if possible coarse grained re- activation salt, with granules of approxi- mately 1- 4 mm. Under no circumstances must other salts be used, e.g. table salt, or gritting salt. These could contain components which are insoluble in water which could result in damage to the water softener.
The salt reservoir holds about 2.5 kg of salt.
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with dishwasher detergent always causes serious damage to the water softener.
Make sure that you have picked up the right packet of reactivation salt before filling the salt reservoir.
Remove the bottom basket.
Unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
Before filling the salt reservoir with salt for the first time, fill it with ap- prox. 2.5 litres of water.
Place the funnel provided in place.
Fill carefully with salt, (as it is filled displaced water will run out).
Clean salt from the screw threads of the socket.
Screw the cap on firmly.
Run the “COLD” programme D im- mediately to remove any traces of salt water from the cabinet.
Important:
If, after switching on, the D (COLD) programme start is delayed for a few minutes this is not a fault. The water sof- tener is being reactivated.
