Filling the salt reservoir.
The salt reservoir should be filled be-
fore the first use and whenever the
“Salt” indicator lights. Only use water
softener reactivation salt (1 - 4 mm
grain size), other salts may contain in-
soluble additives which can impair the
water softener.
The salt reservoir holds approximately
2 lbs (1 kg) of salt.
Inadvertently filling the salt reser-
voir with dishwashing detergent
will damage the water softener.
Make sure that only water soft-
ener reactivation salt of the
proper grain size is used.
To fill the salt reservoir:
^ Remove the lower basket.
^ Unscrew and remove the salt reser-
voir cap.
Before adding salt for the first time,
fill the reservoir with approximately
1 quart (1 l) of water.
^ Place the funnel provided over the
salt reservoir.
^ Carefully fill with salt. As it is filled,
water will run out.
^ Clean any excess salt from the
threads of the reservoir opening.
^ Screw the cap on firmly.
If the dishwasher will not be used im-
mediately after reactivation, run the
“Rinse & Hold“ program. This will re-
move any traces of salt from inside the
wash cabinet.
