Filling With Dishwasher Salt - Baumatic BDW13 Instruction Manual

Filling with dishwasher salt

IMPORTANT: You should only use salt that is specially
designed for use in a dishwasher. If any other type of salt is
used in the appliance (in particular table salt), it will damage
the water softener.
o Ideally you should fill the water softener with salt, just before
you are about to run a wash program. This will help to clear any
salt that may have overflowed from the water softener during
the salt filling process.
o Open the door of the dishwasher and then remove the lower
basket. The basket should be empty when you remove it.
IMPORTANT: It is only necessary to do this when you fill
the container with salt for the first time.
o It is perfectly normal for a small amount of water to come out of
the water softener container, whilst you are filling it with salt.
This does not mean that the container is filled with the correct
amount of salt.
o Refit and fully tighten the water softener cap.
o The salt required warning light will go out approximately 2-6
hours after you have filled the water softener with salt. When
the salt indicator neon lights on the control panel, then you
should follow the filling with dishwasher salt procedure again.
o Turn the water softener cap
anticlockwise and remove it.
o Pour 1 litre of water into the water
softener container.
o Pour salt into the water softener, using
the funnel that is supplied with the
appliance. You should add
approximately 1.2 kg of salt into the
water softener container.
