Filling With Salt For The Water Softener - AEG ÖKO FAVORIT 40250 i User Instructions

Filling with Salt for the Water Softener

Use only salt designed for dishwashers. Never fill the salt container
1
with any another type of salt (e.g. culinary salt) or dishwasher deter-
gent, as this would irreparably damage the water softener.
Prior to filling with salt, please check each time that you really do have
a packet of dishwasher salt in your hand.
Fill with dishwasher salt:
– Prior to using the dishwasher for the first time
– If a green mark can be seen under the lid of the salt container, then
there is sufficient salt. If the green mark cannot be seen, you must
refill the container with salt.
If the water hardness in your area is less than 4 °d, you do not need to
3
use dishwasher salt. The green mark will then not be visible. The func-
tion of the appliance is not impaired.
0 1. Open the door, remove the lower
rack.
2. Undo the lid on the salt container by
turning it anticlockwise.
3. When using for the first time:
fill the salt container with water.
4. Place the funnel supplied on the con-
tainer opening.
Fill the container with salt through
the funnel; the capacity of the con-
tainer is approx. 1.0-1.5 kg depend-
ing on the grain size. Do not overfill
the salt container with salt.
The water expelled by filling the salt container with special salt runs
3
out of the salt container onto the base of the washing compartment.
This is not a cause for concern, the water will be pumped out at the
start of the next wash programme.
5. Clean any salt remnants on the container opening.
6. Turn the lid clockwise to the stop, otherwise dishwasher salt will leak
into the wash water. Dull glasses may result.
Depending on the size of the salt grains, it can take several hours for
3
the salt to dissolve in the water and the green mark to become visible
again. The setting of the water softener and thus the consumption of
salt are dependent on the hardness of the local water.
