Loading The Salt Into The Softener - Whirlpool Dishwasher User Manual

B. Loading the Salt Into the Softener
Always use the salt intended for use with dishwasher.
The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as explained in the following:
Attention
• Only use salt specifically designed for the use in dishwashers! Every other type of salt not specifically
designed for the use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. In case of
damages caused by the use of unsuitable salt the manufacturer does not give any warranty nor is liable
for any damages caused.
• Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programs.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the
bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.

Note:
1. The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light in the control panel comes on.
Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be on even though the salt
container is filled.
If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (for some Models),you can estimate when to fill the
salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher has run.
2. If there are spills of the salt, a soak or a rapid program should be run to remove the excessive salt.
