Before using for the first time
Filling the salt reservoir
If your water hardness level is greater than 8 gr/gal, the salt reservoir should be filled before the first use and when the "Salt" indicator lights.
Only use water softener salt (1 - 4 mm) grain size; other salts may contain insoluble additives which can impair the water softener.
,Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with dishwashing detergent will damage the water softener.
To fill the salt reservoir:
^Remove the lower basket.
^Unscrew and remove the salt reservoir cap.
^Place the provided funnel over the salt reservoir.
Only before adding salt for the first time, fill the reservoir with approximately 2 quarts (2 l) of water.
^Carefully fill with salt, grain size of 1 - 4 mm. The salt reservoir holds approximately 4.5 lbs (2 kg) of salt. As it is filled, water will run out.
^Clean any excess salt from the threads of the reservoir opening.
^Screw the cap on firmly.
^If the dishwasher will not be used immediately, run the "Rinse & Hold" program. This will remove any traces of salt from inside the wash cabinet.
