Loading The Salt Into The Softener
NOTE
If your model does not have any water softener, you may skip this section.
Always use salt intended for dishwasher use.
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the
dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes and utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt container
specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.
The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as
explained in the following:
WARNING
Only use salt specifically designed for dishwashers use!
Every other type of salt not specifically designed for dishwasher use, especially table
salt, will damage the water softener. In case of damages caused by the use of
unsuitable salt the manufacturer does not give any warranty nor is liable for any
damages caused.
Only fill with salt before running a cycle.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled,
remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause
corrosion.
Please follow the steps below for adding dishwasher salt:
1. Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.
2. Place the end of the funnel (if supplied) into the hole and pour in about 1.5 kg of
dishwasher salt.
3. Fill the salt container to its maximum limit with water, It is normal for a small
amount of water to come out of the salt container.
4. After filling the container, screw back the cap tightly.
5. The salt warning light will turn off after the salt container has been filled with salt.
6. Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing program should
be started (We suggest to use a short program). Otherwise the filter system, pump
or other important parts of the machine may be damaged by salty water. This is
out of warranty.
NOTE
The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light in the control panel
comes on. Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be on
even though the salt container is filled.
If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (for some models), you can estimate
when to fill the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher has run.
If salt has spilled, run a soak or quick program to remove it.
