Filling With Salt - Electrolux ESF 620 Instruction Book

Filling with salt

If your water is "level 0" it is already soft and
therefore there is no need to use salt.
Salt must be used from level 1 upward.
Only use salt specifically designed for use
in dishwasher.
All other types of salt not specifically
designed for use in dishwasher, specially
table salt, will damage the water softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the
complete washing programmes (not the Rinse and
Hold programme).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.
To fill:
1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt
container.
2. Pour about 1 litre of water inside the container,
or until it is full (this is necessary only before
filling with salt for the first time).
3. Then using the funnel provided, pour in the salt
until the container is full (approx. 1.5 - 1.8 kg).
Do not worry if water over flows from the unit
when filling with salt, this is quite normal.
4. Replace the cap making sure that there is no
trace of salt on the screw thread or on the
gasket.
5. Screw on the cap tightly.
The salt container will require topping up
periodically.
The "Salt refill" indicator light on the control panel
will illuminate when the salt has finished, and
requires refilling. The salt container has always
some water inside which will normally overflow
when refilling with salt.
The "Salt refill" indicator light can remain
illuminated for 2 - 6 hours after salt has
been replenished, assuming the
dishwasher remains switched on. If you
are using salts that take longer to
dissolve then this can take longer. The
function of the dishwasher is not affected.
