Filling The Special Salt Container - Hotpoint DF55 User And Installation Instructions Manual

FILLING THE SPECIAL SALT
CONTAINER...
Note:
Only use recommended Dishwasher salt or
granular salt.
DO NOT use everyday table salt, cooking
salt or road salt as they contain insoluble
substances which could harm the
Dishwasher.
How the salt works:
While washing is taking place, salt is
automatically rinsed out of the salt
container into the water softener where it
dissolves the lime in the water. The
dissolved lime is pumped out of the
dishwasher. The water softener system is
then ready for the next load. This process of
regeneration can only function when the
salt is dissolved in water.
The container is situated at the bottom of
the dishwasher.
You will need to remove the lower basket
for access.
You should fill just before starting the
programme.
Unscrew the lid of the salt container,
turning it anti-clockwise to remove.
Before using the dishwasher for the
first time, pour approximately 1 litre of
water into the salt container.
Use the supplied funnel to fill salt to the
top of the container. As you tip in the
salt some of the water is displaced and
drains away.
When you have done this, clean off any
remnants of salt from the area around
the neck of the container. Always make
sure that the cap is replaced securely
ensuring that it is not cross-threaded.
Information:
Add salt when required as advised in
the chart on the previous page.
Refill the salt container before starting
the wash programme.
In this way the excess saline solution
will be immediately washed away by
the water, the prolonged presence of
salt water inside the tank may lead to
corrosion.
When using the dishwasher for the first
time, in addition to the salt it is also
necessary to add ONE litre of water to
the container.
WARNING:
DO NOT pour detergent into the special
Salt Container. This will destroy the
water softener.
Each time the salt container is refilled,
make sure that the cap is securely
closed.
The mixture of water and detergent
must never penetrate the salt
container, as this would compromise
the operation of the regeneration
system. In the event of this occurring,
the guarantee will be invalidated.
