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 2 quarts (2 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.
4.5 lbs (2 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 refill message
When the display shows Refill salt, refill the salt after the program has finished.
Confirm with "OK".
The message will clear from the display.
If the message still appears the salt concentration has not reached the correct level. In this case press "OK" again.
