Salt

Add salt
Before using a dishwasher with a water soft­
ening filter, you must fill the salt compartment
with salt. Use coarse salt or special salt for
dishwashers.
It is best to fill with salt when you are about to do
a wash, as the dishwasher needs to be rinsed out
immediately after filling.
Proceed as follows the first time:
1. First unscrew the cover as illustrated.
2. Place the funnel, which is supplied with the
dishwasher, into the compartment's filler
hole.
3. First pour in approximately 1 litre of water.
Then fill the compartment with max 1.5 kg
salt.
4. Wipe away excess salt so that the cover can
be properly screwed into place.
5. Run a Normal wash program so that any salt
in the machine is rinsed away.
When the salt runs out, the salt symbol on the
display* lights up. Unscrew the cover and fill the
compartment with salt. Water is only needed on
the first occasion! Wipe clean and screw back in
place. Run a Normal wash program so that any
salt is rinsed away.
Occasionally check to see if more salt is needed.
A green indicator can be seen in the cover of the
salt compartment.
The indicator is not working
If the indicator is not working, this may be be­
cause the float, which is positioned under the
cover, has become stuck in salt residue. The
float can be reached through the green arm lo­
cated under the cover of the salt compartment.
1. Move the float arm up and down to loosen it.
2. Once the float has been loosened, press it
down again.
Models without a salt symbol in the display show
green in the salt compartment cover when there
is sufficient salt.

Cover for the salt compartment
*NB!
After filling, there may be a short delay before
the signal light goes out.
CAUTION!
Never pour dishwasher detergent into the salt
compartment. It will destroy the water softener!
