Adding special salt

If you are using dishwasher detergent and special salt separately, add
the special salt:
– Before using the dishwasher for the first time.
– When the indicator for special salt SALT is illuminated on the control
panel.
0 1. Open the door, remove the lower
basket.
2. Undo the lid on the salt container by
turning it anticlockwise.
3. When using for the first time:
fill the salt container with water.
4. Place the funnel supplied on the
container opening.
Fill the container with salt through
the funnel; the capacity of the con-
tainer is approx. 1.0-1.5 kg depend-
ing on the grain size. Do not overfill
the salt container with salt.
The water expelled by filling the salt container with special salt runs
3
out of the salt container onto the base of the washing compartment.
This is not a cause for concern, the water will be pumped out at the
start of the next wash programme.
5. Clean any salt remnants on the container opening.
6. Turn the lid clockwise to the stop, otherwise dishwasher salt will leak
into the wash water, this could lead to poor wash results. To avoid this
run a rinse programme after filling the salt container with special salt.
This will wash away salt water and any salt crystals that have been spilt.
Depending on the size of the salt grains, it can take several hours for
3
the salt to dissolve in the water and for the SALT indicator to extin-
guish.
The setting of the water softener and thus the consumption of salt are
dependent on the hardness of the local water.
