Before the GW3060/4090 is used for the first time, pour some granular salt into the softener reservoir along with enough water to fill it. (This is usually done at Camlab before delivery) Make sure that the cap is firmly closed each time the reservoir is filled. Do not fill to the brim! Leave a 2cm space for the float device on the underside of the cap.
Do not use compressed salt tablets or fine salt as these are not as effective as granular salt and can also clog the regeneration valve. Close the reservoir by turning the cap ¼ turn clockwise. Make sure that the cap is not obstructed by salt granules.

5.11 DETERGENT/ACID DISPENSING SYSTEM The machine is equipped with two peristaltic pumps to dispense additives. Each tube is marked by a tag that indicates the type of additive required. Take care not to put the tubes into the wrong containers!

Avoid overloading basket trays and jet racks.
