Before First Use; The Salt Container - John Lewis JLBIDW917 User Manual

Before first use

1. Make sure that the current level of the
water softener agrees with the hardness
of the water supply. If not, adjust the
level of the water softener.
2. Fill the salt container.
3. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
4. Open the water tap.
5. Start a programme to remove any processing
residuals that can still be inside the appliance.
Do not use detergent and do not put dishes in
the baskets.
After starting the programme, the appliance
recharges the resin in the water softener for up
to 5 minutes. The washing phase starts only
after this procedure is complete. The procedure
is repeated periodically.

designed for dishwashers only.

results in daily use.
