Use of dishwasher salt
Warning!
Only use salt specifically designed for use in
dishwashers. All other types of salt not spe-
cifically designed for use in a dishwasher, es-
pecially table salt, will damage the water soft-
ener. Only fill with salt just before starting one
of the complete washing programmes. This
will prevent any grains of salt or salty water,
which may have been spilt, remaining on the
bottom of the machine for any period of time,
which may cause corrosion.
To fill:
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket
and unscrew the cap of the salt container
by turning it anticlockwise.
2. Pour 1 litre of water into the container
(this is necessary only before filling
with salt for the first time) .
3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt
until the container is full.

4. Replace the cap making sure that there
is no trace of salt on the screw thread or
on the gasket.
5. Replace the cap tightly turning it clock-
wise until it stops with a click.
Do not worry if water overflows from the
unit when filling with salt, this is quite
normal.
The salt container will require topping up pe-
riodically.
The display shows a message when the salt
container is empty.
This occurs only at the start and at the end
of the washing programme; during the run-
ning of the programme the indication for salt
refilling is not active.
The refilling salt message can remain
visible for a few hours after the salt has
been replenished, assuming the appli-
ance remains switched on. If you are us-
ing salt that takes longer to dissolve then
this can take longer. The operation of the
appliance is not affected.
