Adding special salt

To decalcify the water softener, it must be filled up
with special salt. Use only special salt suitable for
domestic dishwashers.
If you do not use 3 in1 detergent, fill up with special
salt:
– Before using the dishwasher for the first time.
– When the control indicator for special salt is illumi-
nated on the control panel.
1. Open the door and remove the lower basket.
2. Screw open the lid on the salt dispenser by turning
it anti-clockwise.
3. Only when using the dishwasher for the first
time:
Fill the salt dispenser with water.
4. Place the funnel (supplied) over the dispenser
opening.
Fill the dispenser with special salt; the capacity of
the dispenser is approx. 1.0-1.5 kg, depending on
the size of the grains. Do not overfill the dispenser.
3
If water overflows when filling up with special
salt, this is completely harmless.
5. Clean away any salt remnants from the dispenser
opening.
6. Screw the lid back on in a clockwise direction.
7. Run a dishwashing cycle after filling the salt
dispenser with special salt. This will wash away
salt water and salt crystals that have been spilt.
3
Depending on the size of the salt grains, it can
take several hours for the salt to dissolve in
the water and for the control indicator for spe-
cial salt to go out.
