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. Replace the cap tightly turning it
clockwise until it stops with a click.
Do not worry if water overflows from
the unit when filling with salt, this is
quite normal.
The salt container will require topping
up periodically. You are reminded of
this by a displayed message.
This occurs only at the start and at
the end of the washing programme;
during the running of the programme
the indication for salt refilling is not
active.
The refilling salt message can
remain visible for 2-6 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.
