Before using for the first time
Filling the salt container
Inadvertently filling the salt container with dishwashing detergent will damage the water softener.
Only use water softener salt specially formulated for dishwashers. Other salts may contain insoluble additives which can impair the water softener.
Remove the lower basket and unscrew the salt container lid.
When opening the salt container, water will run out. Open the container only to refill salt.
Important: The salt container must be filled with 1 quart (1 l) of water before adding salt for the first time. Water does not have to be added with subsequent refills.
Place the provided funnel over the salt container. Carefully fill with salt. The salt container holds approx.
3.3 lbs (1 kg) of salt. As it is filled, water will run out.
Clean any excess salt from the threads of the container opening. Screw the lid on firmly.
If the dishwasher will not be used immediately, run the "Express" program (without the Turbo function). This will remove any traces of salt from inside the wash cabinet.
Salt indicator
When the "Salt" indicator comes on, refill the salt after the program has finished.
After the container has been filled, the water softener is automatically reactivated the next time the dishwasher is started. The "Salt" indicator will be lit during this process. It will go out once the reactivation process is complete.
The "Salt" indicator will not light if the dish- washer had been programmed for a water hardness of below 4 °d (4 gr/gal [US]).
