Filling With Dishwasher Salt - Electrolux ESL 6185 Instruction Book

Filling with dishwasher salt

Only use salt specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in
a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water
softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete
washing programmes.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which
may have been spilt, remaining on the bottom of the
machine for any period of time, which may cause
corrosion.
To fill:
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the
cap of the salt container by turning it anticlockwise.
2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary
only before filling with salt for the first time).
3. Using the funnel provided,
pour in the salt until the
container is full.
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
turning it clockwise until it
stops with a click.
The salt container will require topping up periodically.
The salt refilling is indicated by a flashing message in the
display REFILL SALT.
This occurs only during the setting mode and at the end of the
washing programme, during the progress of the washing
programme the indication for salt refilling is not active.
The salt refilling indication can remain active from 2 to 6
hours after the 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 machine is not affected.
Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with
salt, this is quite normal.
