Filling with Salt for the Water Softener
1 Use only salt designed for dishwashers. Never fill the salt container
with any another type of salt (e.g. culinary salt) or dishwasher deter-
gent as this would irreparably damage the water softener.
Prior to filling with salt, please check each time that you really do have
a packet of dishwasher salt in your hand.
Fill with dishwasher salt:
– Prior to using the dishwasher for the first time
– When the SALT indicator
J on the control panel is illuminated.
3 If the water hardness in your area is less than 4 °d, you do not need to
use dishwasher salt. The SALT indicator
J on the control panel will
remain illuminated.
0 1. Open the door, remove the lower
basket.
2. Undo the lid on the salt container by
turning it anticlockwise.
3. When using for the first time:
fill the salt container with water.
4. Place the funnel supplied on the con-
tainer opening.
Fill the container with salt through
the funnel; the capacity of the con-
tainer is approx. 1.0-1.5 kg depend-
ing on the grain size. Do not overfill
the salt container with salt.
3 The water expelled by filling the salt container with salt runs out of the
salt container onto the base of the washing compartment. This is not a
cause for concern, the water will be pumped out at the start of the
next wash programme.
5. Clean any salt remnants on the container opening.
6. Turn the lid clockwise to the stop, otherwise dishwasher salt will leak
into the wash water, this could lead to poor wash results. To avoid this
run a rinse programme after filling the salt container with special salt.
This will wash away salt water and any 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 the special salt indicator
J to
extinguish. The setting of the water softener and the consumption of
salt are dependent on the hardness of the local water.
